Quote:tbh, the fact that bortles sucked today, and still threw for 350+ yards and 3 (ha four) TDs is way more promising than any QB we've had in the last 10 years..

 

Not sure what happened to our D, we were decent in the first few games, now it's like the opposite.

 

I wasn't able to watch or listen to the game today as I was at work, but I'm going to go back and check out the hopkins TDs to see how blatent the PIs are. 

 

This team, like all the other bottom feeders in the league have more to overcome because of the amount of staff turnover as well as what seems like the never ending ref bias which seemed to be on full display today.

I cant say that I'm happy that we're 1-6 now, but at the same time I can't say that I'm suprised.  Half of our team was injured in the first few games, then it seemed like the rest got worse. 

I think what some posters were saying is correct though, it's amazing what yeldon has managed to accomplish with this O-line, especialy considering brandon linder is out.  Bortles is under just as much pressure as he was last year at seems but has obviously elevated his play despite having an injury.  There are a lot of positives here, but I wouldn't be suprised if Gus is fired after the Bills game if we lose. Hell it'll be interesting to see what happens on monday.

I'll assume doug marrone is promoted, or possibly olson as the offense has more or less gotten on track, but just shoots themsleves in the foot from the youth/dumb penalties (which occur on both sides of the ball. Reading the gamecast when a penalty comes up and it's 3/10 hurts just as much as watching it).

 

Again, there are hopeful signs for the franchise, but demanding for complete coaching turnover/front office/players will never get a franchise anywhere.  And yes I understand 8-30 is completely aweful, but this team wasn't like any other team in the NFL. Chiefs, falcons, browns, and cardinals all had a core unit in place on defense or offense. This team literally had an injured MJD.
