Yeah the Jets have a quarterback curse. Smith getting punched out in training camp, Brett Favre's arm, Vinny Testaverde's achilles, Chad Pennington's entire Jets career, Sanchez getting injured in a preseason snoopy bowl, hell Tom Brady's first snap came after Mo Lewis injured Drew Bledsloe so the curse helps other teams QBs
Also, Gase's play calling and offensive scheming was woeful (struggling to get receivers open and Montgomery only gets 4 snaps or so).
Meanwhile we trade for Demaryius Thomas and put Quincy Enunwa on IR with another neck injury.
Tune in next week to find out what else blows up at the New York Garbage Fire. We're in a headlong race to the bottom with the Gaints.

Kyle Shanahan put on an absolute offensive clinic today - 49ers destroy the Bengals 41-17. The bad news for the 49ers is tackle Joe Staley is out 6-8 weeks with a broken leg.
Sheesh, we can't catch a break!!! (no pun intended)

As a Broncos supporter I am shocked to see an offence led by Trevor Siemian suck really hard.

@mariner4life and now he's out injured.

Dolphins leaving nothing to chance in their quest to come bottom.

They are hoping to fully rebuild through next year's draft. They are going to have to because as you say top flight veteran free agents will not consider them. Just those looking to get overpaid and don't care about winning. Josh Rosen must be wondering WTF? If I was him I'd happily be the backup, no sense in getting smashed behind that chump line

I don't mind the Dolphin approach. They've been mediocre for 20 years since Marino retired - constantly competitive but never good. It has got them nowhere.
Is that bad management though? And what's to say they won't screw this up too?? Funny, because I would have thought Miami would be quite an appealing place to live. Yet only the Heat are any good, the Marlins are also rubbish

The problem is it takes years to build a franchise. One draft just isn't enough to rebuild a team. Just look how long the Browns have stunk for. Even now with multiple number one overalls, first round picks and stud free agents/trades they're only middle of the pack.

It takes more than 1 draft but not that much more - the key is you have to hit on your draft picks.
The Miami Dolphins have set themselves up with a total of 5 first round picks across the next 2 drafts. If they hit on those they will be well on their way.
The issue with the Browns was they were constantly failing on their draft picks year after year - they passed on Carson Wentz - they took the likes of Johnny Manziel and Brandon Weeden.
You can turn things around in 2-3 drafts. The 49ers were absolute garbage when Shanahan/Lynch took over 2.5 years ago - they've replaced every starter other than 1 on offense (Staley) and 1 on defense (Buckner). Everyone else has been replaced. Now the 49ers legitimately look like a playoff team.
The Dolphins are probably eyeing up 2-3 years time when Brady is gone and set themselves up for long term.
It will only work if they hit on their draft picks but I understand the logic.
Tanking has been successful in other sports - the Sixers tanked in the NBA and are now a playoff team - the Astros tanked in MLB and are now the best team in the sport.

Another slick performance from Prescott and the Cowboys comfortably beat the Redskins

Eli Manning's career looks like it is over. He has benched for rookie Daniel Jones.
probably 2 years too late
