.

Leaving out he rushed for 100 yards is also a bit disingenuous.
I guess you'll have to take that up with ESPN.

But you make a good point, so is 250 net yards of offense and 1 TD terrific? If so, what would you call Love's game yesterday?

Love played his best game so far.

Tim Boyle is likely the worst quarterback in all of the NFL. How he even is on an NFL roster is something.

https://x.com/rodger/status/1726661700831817757?s=20

Right.
The Jets not going out signing Carson Wentz or making a deal for a guy like Jacoby Brissett - instead insisting that Wilson was their guy - is football malpractice. Maybe Wentz is cooked, but as bad as he's been the past couple of years, it's still an upgrade over what the Jets have in their QB room.

Where’s Rex coaching these days? Does he still think he’s a genius? Guy stepped into a great situation with the Jets, two years later their demise began.

Devils advocate, Rex had almost 15 years as an NFL assistant, 5 as a DC, serving as an integral part of a historically good defense before getting a HC job.  He got another HC job shortly after he got fired by the Jets.  And even after the Buffalo failure, he likely wouldn’t have had any issue getting a DC job.

Staley spent 4 years in the NFL, one as a DC, after a number of years in the lower college ranks, and has been thoroughly underwhelming as an NFL coach.  When he gets fired, I won’t be surprised to see him go back to the position coach ranks cause I don’t think he’ll fall into a DC gig.

Rex may have flamed out but when he has far more bonafides than Staley

Don't shoot the messenger. I just relayed the quote.

I agree that Mattison stretches the fungibility of running backs to its limit. He's been bad - I don't get it when you can consistently find workable replacements for close to free.

Especially since Chandler seems to have some real potential.

Of course, in a bigger role he may struggle too. But hes explosive and much better in space and pass catching.

Staley's side of the ball is also what has let the Chargers down year after year, which raises a ton of questions about what he would bring to his next team.

Sounds like an insult to me although if he was really feeling mean, he would have catered IHOP.

Better than Jalen Hurts stats.   He gets MVP love for last night throwing for 150 yards and running for 29.

Tom Brady is correct.

Gotta love Scoop, dismissing the recently retired GOAT"s opinion about the NFL.

Does Scoop think Stephen Hawking was a hack high-school physics teacher?

I’ve watched the NFL for almost my entire life. I don’t think there is any more “mediocrity” now than there usually is. Certainly not more than two years ago.
