This team is bad. Escaped against the lowly Saints and Panthers and have now faced reality very quickly.
Even if they beat the overall worst team next week (TN) that proves nothing.
As other posters have stated, every passing play feel like the hardest and most difficult thing I’ve ever seen.
They only play aggressive when there’s 9 minutes left in the game. Like that’s what it takes to actually throw the ball more than 3 yards??? How different the game might have been if they actually had a plan to attack and play to win the game.
And why can’t the O Line open up any, and I mean ANY running lanes??? Plus 6 sacks is horrible. Meanwhile Darnold was cool calm and collected all game outside one or two plays where we finally got pressure.
Why can’t the defense get off the field when it counts? And how can you not know Njigba is running a route to the sideline when that’s the only thing he’s done all game?
And the call to have Ryland squib kick did cost them the game. I understand lots of plays happened before that play, but you’re wrong JG, that play absolutely was soul crushing and determined the outcome.
The only credit I will give JG tonight is he didn’t come off as cocky and arrogant in the post game presser. He’s obviously rattled and being humbled so I appreciate him not saying ridiculous things tonight, unlike earlier in the week.
He talked about “finding” a way to improve. Translation = They have no idea what works, what doesn’t work, or how to get out of this. By sheer luck maybe they can stumble into a different approach.
