Was that homage to Joe Horn?

100%.

I’m surprised players can even get away with hiding a cell phone in the goalpost before the game. 

I’m more impressed that he found a flip phone in 2018

The Jets are an absolute clown-show right now. How Todd Bowles and Jeremy Bates still have a job is beyond me.

Looks like Darnold has regressed since some early season success.

Yep. Injuries to the receiving staff, as well as the worst center in the NFL haven't helped. Their offensive game plans have been super predictable. Basically, Jeremy Bates and Todd Bowles are not the ideal staff to develop Darnold.

Hmmm......sounds familiar.

On ESPN radio this morning they said on average 6.7 coaches in the NFL lose their jobs every year.

Hue is 1....who will be the 5-6 others? Bowles likely

Koetter (TB), McCarthy (GB), very possibly Harbaugh (Balt), possibly Gase (MIA), and maybe Buffalo's HC.

I don't think I'd be upset with Harbaugh if he's canned in Baltimore.

Be surprised if Gase does

Ill be surprised If Harbaugh doesn’t rebound and make a playoff charge...but they definitely weren’t the Ravens team I had come to know yesterday afternoon

If Baltimore misses the playoffs this year, which is very possible, I believe it will be 4 years straight without a playoff berth for them.

I don't think it's going to help them, going forward, that this is Ozzie's last year picking players.

Patriots leading rusher is a converted receiver and Josh Gordon is being a Patriot

Patriots looked damn good last night

This really backfired on Leveon Bell, right? He missed out on a lot of money, pissed off some teammates, and his backup stepped up just fine and the team hasn't seemed to miss his production.

Pretty much. Conner seems to be the real deal and is putting up comparable numbers without being a headache. I mean, I understood where Bell was coming from, not getting the contract he wanted while being run into the ground by the Steelers, but the year Conner is having illustrates just why RBs don't have the sort of leverage they want to have, since they were able to switch to a younger, cheaper guy and get the same results.

That's why I'd never use a super high pick on a RB like the Giants did with Barkley unless he was that last missing piece and even then I don't know if I'd do it. Yes, Barkley's elite but what is it doing for wins with no QB? Plus they will put a ton of tread on his tires before they can reap the rewards.

So apparently Dez will be working out with/for the Saints tomorrow.
