Bears (3 points @ home)
Jets (blown 16-0 lead @ home in the division)
Browns (expectations?)
Lions (blown 24-6 lead)
Steelers (blown out by 30 points, scored 3)
Jaguars (QB done, probably for the year)
We need to take a breath. This was never going to be a win. Dallas is better than most anyone here wants to give them credit for. No other team has the honor of going to Dallas for their home opener year in and year out and play them and the refs.
Is the score not different if Dallas gets called for 12 men? Or they can't tackle our WR in the end zone? Or our player being engaged into the runner nullifies the fair catch interference call?
A few other things.
The utilization (or lack thereof) of Saquon needs to be corrected immediately.
Antonio Hamilton needs to be sat down immediately. If yesterday is the best Bethea and Hamilton can do, get Ballentine and Love more playing time.
Curious as to why no Rosas attempt from 60ish yards before the half. They could have played that whole sequence much better.
Going into the season I though Jets-Browns in Week 2 would be a good matchup of up and coming teams and a launching pad for one of them. Based on yesterday it actually looks like a game where the loser might sink a lot further than expected.
Been getting this advice here for far too many consecutive Septembers. And that breath has rarely been correct. The panic has always been justifiable.
Cowboys are a top team in the league. The hope should be that we get better as our young players gain experience.
I don't think most reasonable people consider them a competitive team at all. They are driving the Tank this season.
As mentioned, they were home and carrying big expectations. And they were dominated - coaching wise, execution, and physically.
BTW, Vrabel looks to be joining O'Brien as two coaches who are fairly competent off the BB Coaching Tree...
Coming off a loss in the NFL championship game, the Giants began their "15 years of lousy football" era by floundering their way to a 2-10-2 finish.
