The Jets schedule is so weirdly top heavy. After that they will probably beat most of the Browns, Dolphins, Rams, Colts, 49ers and Bills and get to 6-10 to 8-8 ish.

I would not be so sure the Jets beat the Rams, Colts or Bills.

QB Whisperer is the dumbest thing.

He was OC for Peyton Manning. Then he was the OC one year for Jay Cutler where the offense was 18th in the NFL. What a job.

I believe Tannehill is probably suffering a "Sam Bradford" career at this point. If you squint at him when he actually plays he has a lot of things that look good, but has been mostly in shitass garbage poop situations.

I'd say it's more of a David Carr moment.

Last year it was a complete trainwreck, and the Patriots have had a declining offensive line for like the last 4 years running, but compensated for that by Brady just throwing the ball faster and faster to mostly mitigate it unless they're facing the Broncos with a 4th string tackle against Von Miller.

They really haven't had a respectable deep passing game since the days of Light and Mankins, and while some of that is Brady's shortcomings throwing it deep, I think the drop off in line play also bears responsibility. Yeah, they use to have Randy Moss, but Brady could also sit back in an adirondack and enjoy some sweet tea while he made up his mind who to throw to.

College games seem even more endless in comparison to the NFL games a day later. For all the flaws of the average NFL game—player safety, coaching blunders, the quality of the actual football—length is not one. NFL games lasted 3 hours and 8 minutes last year. Which was the same as 2013. And 2005. And 1999.

Well the flipside is he also needs to do his share by making reads faster and getting the ball out before the defense hits home. Let's not pretend he is blameless.

"I try to put myself in Tony's shoes. I'm sure Tony wants to play. I mean, he doesn't want to get injured, he wants to be productive, but you have to look at the dynamics right now," Favre said on Sirius XM on Tuesday. "And (the Cowboys) really are hitting on all cylinders. So, this is hypothetically thinking, if you are Tony you say, 'You know what, as much as I want to play, I don't want to press the issue.' I want to play but I'm going to let it play out right now and it is probably better if Dak starts struggling and then they bring me in rather than they put me in and then all of a sudden we're not hitting on all cylinders and everyone's like, 'Ah, they should have got rid of Tony, blah, blah.'

"... I'm not saying that you tell (Jason) Garrett or Jerry Jones, 'Look, I don't want to play.' I think, you want to play but I don't want to mess up the dynamics of the team. If we get to a point where we're struggling, then it is time for me to come in. Now, I know that's a hard thing to do. ... I just think you are better if you wait until you are really needed. And I mean no disrespect whatsoever to Tony."

One of the interesting things about both the Eagles and the Cowboys is that, while each team had one of league's easiest schedules (27th for Philly, 23rd for Dallas), both teams are now looking at some of the league's hardest schedules (1st and 3rd for Philly and Dallas, respectively). There will almost certainly be a corresponding drop-off in production/increase in struggles for both teams, and it may naturally create a good situation for bringing Romo back.

True. But I love Favre giving advice that he would never, ever, ever, ever, ever have taken.

Yes that and they gave him a 95$ million contract.

The Dolphins are in a terrible situation because Tannehill is just good enough that they don't want to cut their losses, but by staying with him they cannot remove the millstone around their neck. Or more accurately those plastic things that hold soda around their fins.

Those big contracts for QBs aren't really a handicap, pretty much the norm for any team that has recently signed a QB they expect to be the future.

Tannebaum has no idea what he's doing
Ross is a great owner who is really trying but he clearly lets himself be charmed. Or he's a jets plant

The problems are mostly Ross' own doing because he keeps setting up these front office and coaching dynamics that are doomed to be dysfunctional. And then on top of it he occasionally sticks his fingers into the pie, like trying to personally wine and dine Harbaugh or Jeff Fisher.

Every Tannehill dropback against the Titans.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fb2BbZsCsm4

- Pass blocking not as bad as advertised. Yes, they blew it completely sometimes. Other times Tannehill has a pocket and then panics and steps the wrong way into a sack. He is pretty lousy at sensing pressure. There were plays where a sack could have easily been avoided if he just stepped up in the pocket instead of being completely oblivious.

- Tannehill exacerbates bad pass blocking with slow reads and a fairly slow release.

- Throws a lot of check downs early in the game even when not under pressure.

- Doesn't usually throw it where receiver can make a play on the ball, which he needs to do because...

- Receivers are not physical enough, not fighting for balls, also dropping easy catches.

- Christ how many plays that involve throwing to someone five yards behind the LOS do the Dolphins need to call???

The Dolphins have $38.6 million invested in their defensive line, the second-highest figure in the NFL behind the Jaguars, but surrendered 235 rushing yards and recorded zero sacks Sunday. Mario Williams and Ndamukong Suh combined for one measly tackle in a 30-17 loss to the Titans.

Meanwhile, Ryan Tannehill got sacked six times. No team spends more money to never solve a single problem than the Dolphins.

Eh, I dunno. The Jets have gone 40 years and 350+ draft picks since they last had a franchise quarterback. Meanwhile the other teams in their division have all had at least one (if not more) periods of sustained success thanks in part to a franchise QB. They might disagree.

The problem with classes/presentations/seminars/etc on Microsoft products is that 95% of it is so boring and obvious that you space out and miss the 5% that actually matters. So later on when you're trying to use the product with someone else you get to that 5% and look like an rear end in a top hat.

If you watched the games this season though Rodgers just hasn't really looked right. He's always been able to make amazingly ridiculous throws from body positions that no other quarterback in the league could do. This year, he's been really off target on most of those types of scramble throws. I almost wonder if this is just him getting older.
