Aint winning with Jacoby. Movie is over. Sequel is always worse than the original
Jacoby can play well when he is down 20 and the opposition lightens up, with happened last year a LOT.
I know these points are repeated as nausem, but did we all watch the same NFL season?
Colts were almost the best team for half the season, smoking most everyone (before their injuries of course), we were competitive and went down to the wire on the road. Beat the 1 seeded Broncos, and the Rams too if not for flipping a td a la Demarcardo.
The Packers, a playoff team, we were competitive and also went down to the wire. Damn that Parsons, stopped by essentially the best defensive player in the NFL.
Smoked the Cowboys on Monday night. Coincidentally the one game we had a few pieces back on defense (and Nolen), but also some reinjuries. Cool.
Jaguars, a playoff team, we were competitive and also went down to wire.
Bucs, almost and should have been a playoff team, and was the previous year, was sloppy overall but still "competitive." One of the few teams to beat the Hawks.
Texans had one of the best defenses I've seen in awhile, we all saw that center stage. There's no way we would do anything vs them, but our defense showed that Stroud was the second coming of Montana, for a game.
Falcons, while not a bad team, even beat the Rams, was also competitive game. Go go Bijan.
Bengals a bit of Jekyl and Hyde, especially with injuries, but yeah everyone completely fell apart here. They put up 30-40+ points in the several weeks before us as well. Jacoby didn't even get to "pad" here vs their atrocious D.
I'll just summarize the Rams, Hawks, and 9ers. Yeah, it was a bit close earlier before the wheels came off, and no Kyler did not look good either, but these 3 teams were all top 5 in NFL, and Rams/Hawks were exceptionally good in general, especially the Hawks. Absolutely no chance.
We all know Cards were one of the most injured teams, including defense and RB room.
Can Jacoby play defense? No. Who was his starting RB? Everyone says we had a bad oline. Is that a good recipe for any QB? You think any Joe Blow would have done better much better? Sure, if we had a Burrow, or Brady, or Stafford, or other elite Qb we probably nab some of those close ones. I wish we had one.
Most of the games were close enough for a coin flip against decently talented teams. Other "bad teams" were way way way worse in that department.
To say he padded stats is ridiculous. I would hope he'd get some love for battling it out for this crummy team. He even showed Wilson has some juice, did any one us know that before this season? He "padded" vs elite of the elite for a few games, sure. Would you rather him phone it in instead? Then you'd all really go after him. And that's what he's known for? Selective memory.
