Bad luck there....

Wellp, that sucked.

He should've had an INT too - was lucky that Amukamura came down with a hand out of bounds. It was a terrible throw regardless of the results, which tempers my enthusiasm for tonight quite a bit, but it's still a pretty decent performance so far.

I’m not sure I agree with that 100% a more experience wide receiver would of knocked that ball down, Dobson also took terrible position in my opinion, granted I do agree 100% that it was a poor pass but I wouldn’t expect Malletts strength to be a corner fade throw, he isn’t a great touch thrower, he tosses 150mph every play, he does need to correct that if he wants to be successful when/if he ever gets a chance to start someplace (else).

And what are the odds it would bounce into the hands of a Rutgers guy?


Yeah, pretty high.

I'm just glad it bounced into one of our players hands and not one of the Giants players hands as it has had a knack for.

Not a great night for Dobson.

Dobson obviously has a ways to go, but he is a rookie so **** happens.

Hard to believe Carr is still in the league. Shame Houston's bad offensive line ruined any chance of him ever having success.

The more I watch Mallett the less impressed I am with him given the cerebral aspect of Quarterbacking. Damn exhibition games.

Now that looked like interference.

Well at least we get to see more of Buchanan after the int.

I don't think I've left Bequette or Buchanan off my 53 player roster once. Glad to see I'm not crazy.

Why don't we have a dislike button?

I doubt that Blount is on the bubble to be honest. If he were, we'd be seeing him in there running.

Agreed, not to look at things simplistically but I feel like if he was not a lock he’d be out there getting reps, I think the only bubble guy is Washington out of the RB group, unless someone is missing due to injury that I’m unaware of.

Whats the feeling on Dobson. He just doesn't seem to have that killer attitude. Am I just spoiled with KT and Boyce? He is a rookie

Looks like the Jets have a QB controversy. Matt Sims 21 of 27 for 180 yds. Can't write this stuff up.

actually, on pace for 500yd game lol

It's funny that you bring that up b/c I followed him pretty closely at Arkansas and liked the pick initially, but I've often wondered myself if he may look better on another team--in another system that was less cerebral. Possibly somewhere that was a bit less complicated.

There's also a lot of throws that wouldn't look good anywhere, but as a whole I'm not unhappy about him being our QB2 should Brady go down for a few games.

Nice to meet someone who feels this way too. He got beat to a pulp there. In this day of concussion awareness I would be curious to see how he checked out back then...
