You’ll recover. You’ve been here before. It will get better… I promise you this team will win 5 more games. And we’ll exist in perpetual mediocrity

That’s because ES didn’t have a sad emoji option when Sherman Lewis was calling offensive plays in 2009…. Thankfully. It could be worse

Let’s check the local nursing homes for “bingo callers.” That’s worked before

What game? Thursday night against the Bears? we won 12-7…. Carson Wentz was fantastic

I’m a manger at Applebees, and I take my job seriously. …. though, yes, we are hiring. If you can deliver a sizzler platter to a table at the same comparative speed Jamin Davis can deliver his status as a first round bust/ wasted draft pick… then you have a job

At least Jim Zorn made 4th down play’s interesting… fond memories of the “Swinging Gate” call, against the Giants good ole days

And the “tape” showed Jamin Davis running fast toward the sideline, forcing a fumble against the Bronco’s. That’s our first round pick Tape doesn’t lie

Jim Zorn was an idiot( though, comically lovable) Rivera is coaching like a person whose end is near…

Mediocre? Average? Benign? Passable? Exist? I imagine, with time and an more games, the defense will revert back to the median.

Again, that’s the right answer. But it’s difficult to accept the idea( mostly from a fan’s perspective) that the starting LT basically concedes, and has little interest in playing out the game to its end. Logically sensible. Emotionally, difficult.

Sweet. I can’t wait until our “vaunted” dline consisting of first round studs…. Show up to play. This narrative is tiring. The defense is average. The Dline is infuriatingly average, despite their draft position.

EB can barely handle playcalling duties. You want him to take on more responsibility, as an interim Head Coach?

Defense lost the game. The Bears offensive game plan, early on, was literally have the receivers run straight lines, and then throw it to them. Schematically, very rudimentary. I’m not entirely sure why those routes were that difficult to defend. DJ Moore…. Is pretty good. DJ Moore indefensible? Doubt it. Shockingly bad secondary play.

that’s likely the sensible response. But the optics of pulling starters because you’re losing badly, is detrimental, psychologically. The idea is you replace starters because the team is winning big. Not losing…

I do understand the concept of having 4 first round DLineman… but, I do wish JDR would mix in some blitz more frequently. At lesser crest some confusion on the opposing Oline.

I would say his game is more intermediate- he’s not a burner down the field, but he’s smooth and fluid running routes 10-15 yards down the field.

Sigh… Dotson, pretty reliable hands. That was a big drop, though.

I can’t believe Hurts held onto the ball that long on a 3rd and 3. Still, glad Payne and Young eventually got some pressure

I don’t put much credence into “taking accountability” bull**** platitudes. I’m more supportive of “taking accountability” in winning the game. And this “game” is played once every 7 days. Limited time frame. I ascribe to the philosophy of winning the game. And to do that, you need your best players on the field- because we only have one shot at that concept, a week. Gibson’s fumble didn’t lose us the game today. He’s too valuable, to cut.

Respectfully, I disagree. His value as a potentially explosive playmaker, in a league where explosive plays are imperative to success, supersedes, his detriment at holding on to the ball. This team, offensively, gains little, and loses more, if we cut him.

Gibson still remains one of the most legitimate playmakers, on this team. There’s plenty of data to support that. However, there is also plenty of data supporting the idea that Gibson, commits costly turnovers. Difficult conundrum. Chris Rodriguez, takes that screen call, doesn’t fumble, and gets tackled 3 yards in the backfield. Certainly better than a turnover. …. But, Chris Rodriguez, doesn’t measure up to Gibson, in terms of the potential for an explosive play. This offense, needs to maximize potentially “explosive” plays. Especially in this league, against teams like the Bills. We won’t win grinding it out, punting and playing field position( despite the collective thought to how “elite” our defense is) You keep Gibson. His potential value, supersedes his fumbling issues. Just my opinion

Agreed. Time to max protect Sam, when this team wants to throw. Yes, I realize that limits some “duplicity” in playcalling. But, perhaps its time to simplify some concepts, to avoid the performance today.

And why not max protect him, when the inclination, play call wise, is to throw down the field? From what I’ve seen, 5 man protection schemes, with a RB addressing the pressure, hasn’t worked. Stack the line.

Yep, I know. But Spider-Man 2 looks pretty good…. Win some, you lose some

I did a cursory review of NFL rules. “Dick punching” is technically allowed. The action is only officially penalized and fine’d from a Urologist( based on your health insurance). Let the “dick punching” commence.
