OT: First Sunday of NFL Season!

[glastonbury50]

Trade Darnold. Fire Gase. Season is cancelled.

So I see that Tom Brady still can’t throw a sideline out pass more than ten yards downfield. Defend the middle of the field and screens and you defend Brady. He’s the GOAT but I think he’s been a shadow of what he was for a couple of years.

No late game-winning heroics for Tom after that ridiculous special teams miscue.

Agreed. Not a good day for TB squared.

Who was it around here that was adamant that there was no reason for a Pats fan to be anything other than despondent about this season? I was excited to watch this play out back then, and I still am. But, clearly I'm incorrect.

Brady looks just as washed as he did last season, you can already see the frustration on Mike Evans's face.

Uh oh. In otherwords, Jameis was able to throw deep but Brady can't?

That was Deepster, a Jets fan. Talk about who should be despondent.

 

[Deepster]

My WR1 drafted was Mike Evans.
My WR2 drafted was Kenny Golladay.
I sat Aaron Rodgers today.
I sat Robby Anderson.
Still put up 98 pts and won my game.
(Josh Allen, CMC, DJ Chark, Terry McLauren, Saints D with a pick 6)

Nah. I didn't even watch a down of the Jets game. Darnold is not the guy, Gase is not the guy. RedZone all day.

Only thing I can't figure out is why the linebacker from Michigan was a healthy scratch. He was playing with the 1's all week.

 

[Palatine]

Brady in not in the AFC East any more. He doesn't get six wins just for showing up.

 

[Lefty2one]

Trade Darnold. Fire Gase. Season is cancelled.

It's time for all Jets fans to come to grips with reality. Darnold is Mariota or Jamies or Trubisky. I hope we're bad enough this year to land a Top 3 pick so we can move on from him this year instead of the following offseason. Gase has no business being a HC but Darnold is still making way too many egregious mistakes. He's not the guy.

No argument here. At the very best, he's Matt Ryan. Someone squeaky clean that can lead you in a boring way to "decent" seasons. Maybe make one big run at one point in his career....but no one that other teams lie awake worrying about the night before a game.

Didn't Matt Ryan win MVP?

 

[superjohn]

Didn't Matt Ryan win MVP?

Yes, that's a horrible comparison.

 

[Deepster]

Yes, that's a horrible comparison.

Right....because I qualified by saying "AT THE VERY BEST".

 

[Deepster]

FYI - Shaun Alexander and Rich Gannon won NFL MVP's too.

 

[Viet Vet]

Newton's antics following the game will wear thin if the Pats start losing. He is a self-absorbed, arrogant punk. Fans will abandon in droves if he doesn't clean up his "look at me" act.

Bill, get Stidham ready.

 

[superjohn]

Yep, Darnold is not the guy but he can be an MVP and top 10 all-time passer.

 

[TheChamps990411]

Are you kidding? I find just about everything in 2020 odd. I've stopped even looking for reason or logic.

The look on the dogs face in your avatar is a great meme 5 years from now "hey do you remember 2020?"

 

[Deepster]

Yep, Darnold is not the guy but he can be an MVP and top 10 all-time passer.

Yep, and Ryan killed it his first two seasons.

 

[superjohn]

Yep, and Ryan killed it his first two seasons.

Offensive rookie of the year.

 

[Deepster]

Offensive rookie of the year.

Right. Ryan's rookie year: 16 TD/11 Int/3,440 yds. He killed it.

Keep digging.

 

[Deepster]

Keep digging.

"At best"
