NFL (since 2016)
"Free agency started last night and was pretty crazy some huge money being spent. Osweiler getting £18m a year for the Texans, leaving the Broncos without a QB, Giants have spent a fortune on good but not great players, Oliver Vernon has more guaranteed money than JJ Watt. lots more deals but cant be bothered to list them all."

Re: NFL (since 2016)
Haha! I really wanted Darnold to work out in New York. He has some talent, but we ruined him like we ruin all talented QBs.
The Vikings do look really well-drilled - fair play to them: a good side this year.
I’m not exaggerating, I’d clear out Saleh and Hackett tomorrow. That may seem harsh on Saleh, because he’s a very good defensive mind. Big he just isn’t a head coach and has shown absolutely no ability to understand offense over four seasons. He’s a DC - and an excellent one. He’s the new Rex Ryan:Grade A defense, Grade Z on offense.
Hackett is full-on shite at his job. Beyond awful. Another example of how, from the Jets’ owners down, nobody at the franchise knows how to play modern offense. Genuinely, it has been 20 years since we knew how to play offense - and that was under Herm Edwards (who had a good coaching team and two good QBs).
Twenty years of failure tells you who really is to blame: the franchise owners. They don’t know what excellence looks like, so can’t appoint it.

Re: NFL (since 2016)
I questioned recruiting Rodgers, but to not give him a great coordinator and go with that useless cսnt Hackett is amazing

Jefferson is immense, but the rest of the team looks sharp and up for every play. Consequently, they’re more than the sun of their parts. Haven’t seen a Jets team like that (on offense) for decades.
To be fair there’s no real shame in being 10 down to this vikes team. They are the best team in the league so far this year.
But yeah the window with Rodgers is closing and it looks like the gamble won’t have paid off and it’ll be back to the drawing board. That Darnold looks decent and might be free after this season. Worth a look?

Re: NFL (since 2016)
Genuinely think the only way the Jets could be effective on offense is to just allow Rodgers to call plays as he sees it.
Saleh doesn’t have a clue about offense, and Hackett is beyond poor.
Ot’s all putting huge pressure on our defense, which can be very good but is currently desperate to make game-changing plays (because the offense is so poor), so they’re committing too many penalties and gifting points.
It’s not ideal, but let Rodgers call his own plays. At least then you have the best offensive mind you’ve got on the job. Which, at the Jets, is like being the most handsome man in the burns unit.

Re: NFL (since 2016)
This is season-ending shit from the Jets - once again. And a career-ending damp squib for Aaron Rodgers, although little of it is of his making.
Well though the Vikings are playing, the Jets have gifted them 14 points and the game is over at half time.
Ive been patient with Saleh, but he has now proven to be a very poor head coach because he knows absolutely nothing about the offense, or special teams. So, he knows less than 50% of what he needs to be effective in the top job. Saleh is a very good defensive co-ordinator, but he’s one pay grade above his obvious ceiling. He’s not a HC yet at all. Worse, he doesn’t even know what somebody who does know about offense looks like.
So, Hackett the OC, is horrendous - one of the worst I’ve seen in the NFL. He’s ridiculed for his lack of variety and knowledge - and you can see why. He’s also at least one pay grade above his ceiling. Maybe he’d be useful at putting out the cones.
I fear this has all killed the expensive experiment with Rodgers, because the Jets don’t have a single coach at the franchise who knows how to move the chains.
Realistically, I can’t see us getting to the playoffs with this HC and OC - unless Miami and Buffalo remain poor. Rodgers’ contract will be up at the end of the season - and it’ll be time for another rebuild (which, with shit owners, will also go wrong). And so runs the history of the modern Jets …

As the Germans said to me they thought they would make a weekend of it. Can’t argue with that.
Also I think if injuries are kind you have to look at the Vikes as very strong challengers for the NFC this season!

Re: NFL (since 2016)
Quite how the Dolphins went into the season with Tua and the two worst backups I can remember as their only fallback is a total mystery. At least Mike White can sort of play.
Our season is over already.
Still, we did get the magnificently named Storm Duck making a play. Even for the NFL that is a doozie.

Re: NFL (since 2016)
Aaron Rodgers seems to get annoyed when asked about Robert Saleh’s comments about dialing back the cadence on offense. “That’s one way to do it. The other way is to hold them accountable.”

The NEW Vikings were almost the OLD Vikings, still they did beat the Pack at Lambeau.

been watching since the early 80s, I've never seen a better rookie QB
*then a minute later, he throws his first interception
