Quote from: Sem on November 10, 2023, 01:07:00 AMSquibber, I've now watched the first two episodes, thanks to you for putting on my radar. It seems to be well produced and it does hold my interest, even though it doesn't cover any new ground formulaically. But then again I wouldn't expect it to. I think @Ed Vette would enjoy this.
I apparently started watching it and left. Tried again and didn't hold my interest.

If he's cleared, they most likely bring him back. He's being paid. Doesn't mean he starts.

Big Blue Huddle / Re: QB is most of the problem

Quote from: Dgoodmantrublu on November 09, 2023, 05:45:58 PMAll year we've seen Jones make bad reads to throw short to covered guys. Opponents have mocked this tendency. So the chart backs up what we've seen on film. Pretending this doesn't happen seems like folly to me. And then we have the plays where he just can't hit guys who are open, which happened multiple times this week as well. He has been the biggest problem.

He's a key problem but this doesn't demonstrate he's the biggest problem. It's a combination of the QB, the protection, the execution of all offensive players, the preparation and the play calling in touch with the game flow and adjustments.

At what point were they open and what other related factors were involved.

No doubt he's not the QB this team needs. No doubt the Receivers created separated and I demonstrated that on multiple posts from the All-22.

This team imploded in a perfect storm.

Plenty of blame to go around.

No faith in The Italian Scallion?
Wait and see, he's gonna shock the world!  =))

Seriously though and I'm just kidding Tommy, the Oline should be better and with a balanced attack Tommy will take some shots to Hyatt. The Defense has to have a comeback game. Now get out there and X Shame Thibs.

If the Giants get #1 they will get calls from 2 and 3. That would be a ka-Ching!
This is why they play Tommy... lol

Panthers. They have a shot because Fields is doubtful. That makes both picks with 2 wins and the Bears probably won't want a QB and would trade out for more picks. The Giants have a connection. It might give the Panthers and Young some confidence to squeak out another win or two because it looks like they won't win another game this year. I do think AZ has a tough schedule and their best chance is the next two games. The Giants beat them head to head so I doubt the Giants get the number one pick. Doesn't matter because I don't see the Giants picking Caleb unless Mara gives full autonomy to Schoen.

Quote from: TDToomer on November 09, 2023, 01:46:03 PMSo many similarities. The Giants were kind of expected to build off their 9-7 1994 team that would have made the playoffs under todays format with Brown taking the next step at QB. With Hershel Walker brought in and Wheatley drafted in the first round to complement Hampton some predicted the Giants would lead the NFL in rushing. Phil Simms number was retired that game. It was so deflating. I think Emmett Smith took the very first play of the game to the house.
I too felt the pain.

Was that before or after he gave up on a TD?

Quote from: squibber on November 07, 2023, 02:26:25 PMA year and a half ago a friend talked me into investing money in a Bitcoin mining company. He was convinced the website and company was legit so I invested $3,000 into it.  The dividends were credited to my account for a while but then they went dark. I was unable to withdraw any of my money before it was too late.

No crypto for me ever again.

Quote from: T200 on November 09, 2023, 08:54:04 AMI'm not laying the blame completely at the feet of Daboll/Kafka because the players still have to play and execute the game plan.

But... the game plan in the season opener was garbage, if they even had one. They did not adjust or adapt to anything that Dallas was doing defensively. Our offense played dead the entire game. This offense will more than likely set a franchise record for futility.
With all the criticism Jason Garrett received and even after bringing in Fredo Kitchens, their Offense generated 17.5 and 15 average points per game. This team under the QB and Offense Gurus has averaged 11. Just wrap your head around that for a minute. Then take out the one anomaly of the Cardinals game and it's a whopping 8.75.
