Broncos favored by 3 on the road next week.  Oof!

Anyone see the Fields press conference? He sounds like he is done. Talking about appreciating the small things in life, NFL football does not sound very important to hm right now.

For a young man who seems like a good person, it is sad to see his life dream dissolve in front of him and everyone else.

And his former understudy at OSU, C.J. Stroud, is kicking it so far in Houston.

Many in Charlotte are already saying the Panthers should have taken Stroud. I'm not one of them; once the trade was made, I was on the Young train, and I knew the whole thing would be a project.

Ultimately, Taylor will write a song about it and make another $10 million.

Dad joke alert

Maybe the song she writes will be about Travis's unique way of expressing himself. She can call it 'Frasier.'

After that Kelce grammar.

Lots of lousy teams that had 2-0 records, including 3 NFC South teams, got exposed this week.

Philly manhandled Tampa.  I actually give the Buccs defense a lot of credit for how it held Philly to 25.  That Eagles o-line was good

Word is Saleh is losing the locker room continuing to trot out Wilson, a dumpster fire at its finest

Who do they want him to play? Tim Boyle? It's not like there are a bunch of amazing options he's ignoring to the detriment of the locker room

As a Head Coach, Saleh is a great Defensive Coordinator.

My dream is Saleh gets fired and comes to GB as DC. He was best man for MLF's wedding.

Then he fired his brother. So who knows...

I think Saleh probably is toast in NY.  I think they likely skid to a 3-4 win season and with Rodgers unlikely to return next year, the Jets just restart.

That being said, I think he will absolutely be a coach that pops back up and has success at his next stop after another 2-3 years of being a DC.  I thought Saleh did a really good job with the Jets to this point.  He took over an absolute mess after Bowles and Gase and brought them to the bring of competitiveness.  The Jets went all in on Rodgers and everything that came with it, and they really had no back up plan.  I think the plan was to not give up on Wilson, but also be able to shelter/grow him for 2 years behind Rodgers.  Thats all blown up and nobody, including Saleh, is managing it well.  But devils advocate, I think there are very few HCs, much less first time HCs, who would be able to manage it smoothly.  Its so much more than just guiding your team when your starter went down.

Agree with this with regards to Saleh.

Think the front office needs to be held to task, though.  The Jets front office made the mistake of listening to Rodgers by bringing in his cronies and keeping Wilson.  Rodgers is 39 behind a leaky line.  At the least, have a backup the players believe in more than they do Wilson.  That ship sailed last fall with Wilson's postgame comments after a loss where he passed blame off.

I really like Saleh as a coach. I think he did as good of a job as possible for the Jets. Unfortunately for him, he's finding out what countless others have found out when coaching the Jets. They are unavoidably still the Jets, regardless of his best efforts. Whether it is institutional entropy, ownership micromanagement, an established culture of Murphy's Law, or having offended a witch in disguise ala the beginning of Beauty and the Beast, coaching that franchise is coaching on Hard Mode.

Sure he didn't bank on Rodgers going down, but there aren't really any other cards in his hand to play at this point. It might not be "his fault," but as the HC he's going to take the blame/fall.

He'll be a heckuva DC pickup for someone though.

If I were the Jets, there is no way I would fire Saleh. He had them going great last year, and this year his top QB goes down.

I agree. It sounds like Rodgers plans to be back next year, and I'm not sure he decides to play with the Jets if it's a brand new coaching staff.
