Yeah I can see that. Brady's metronomic consistency was freakish. I'm sure I saw a Bruce Arians quote when Brady was at the bucs saying something like he's the only QB he's ever worked with that never got tired throwing 7 yard slants. I've never found it again though so might not be true, but it made me respect that consistency.
Not a big fan of the game winning drives stat. There are so many other influences on that kind of scenario.

Mahomes would be the one you'd have to save your life with a game winning drive.
Length of the field in 13 seconds - wow!American foorball is well organised . . . high school on friday night, college on saturday, pro on sunday . . . very tidy.
early, but i think the bills can clinch their division if they beat the jets this round. . . even tho i dont think the bills are as good as last year, the rest of the division is a bit of a shambles.
f'n chiefs are going to be better this year than last . . .
still cant believe the bills did the Worthy trade with them . . . GM brandon bean F wit
the other 31 teams should just tell the chiefs to F off if they want to do a deal
hate the f'ing chiefs, and mahomes and kelce (and his bother) and most of all . . . taylor f'ing swift!
aaaah, that feels betterhuge upset in college football . . . Vanderbilt beating Alabama . . . FUUUUCK OFF!
it's the defences that are whinging about the game not being the same, and they're right to a certain extent.
But the leading with the helmet shots had to go, and they just got rid of the hip drop.
Because of the helmets they still have bigger hits than rugby (league and union)
Shoulder charge still allowed. -

And out first HC casualty of the year. Saleh out. First time in about 50 years that the jets have an in season HC replacement, which given some of the previous jets seasons is kind of incredible. I suspect that this isn't over yet and there will be more staff changes to follow. Current DC has already been appointed as interim HC for the rest of the year.
-
Exactly why I think we'll see more staff changes. Hackett probably gets a demotion to Rodgers Golf Buddy and someone else takes over as oc but it's complicated because owner Woody Johnson is an idiot in thrall to Rodgers so a lot depends on whether the interim HC feels free to change what they want.
Assuming no staff changes, the biggest difference on offence would be a more aggressive mindset. Saleh was super conservative (infamously describing a game vs the raiders last year as a race to twenty), so if Ulbrich pushes to open up the playbook more and get more creative and aggressive things might improve. But not sure how much more Hackett has in his playbook.
-
I think it was Johnson. He's leading the charge, and the reporters closest to the jets are supporting that. He's a tinkerer with minimal m football sense but a real desire to be popular., and a belief that solutionss are only a change or two away. Apart from his previous reluctance to fire guys mid season it's classic woody Johnson behaviour.

Not the first time the Jets have signed a previous SB winning QB from Green Bay who was past his prime
-
Robert Saleh was fired for underperformance that the (checks notes) New York Jets???
There are some pretty funny reports around about this already.
Lets preface all of this with a really big "reportedly"
Saleh was about to fire Hackett when he himself was fired. Or, alternatively, was giving the game day play calling to someone else. Something that the new interim coach is also considering.
The owner spoke with Rodgers, but totes not about firing the head coach.So the defense has only conceded 85 points through 5 games, yet their offence can't get them over the line, and who pays the price? The head coach who put that defense together. Hilarious.
I did read they walked him, he didn't even get to talk to the players.

@mariner4life stay classy, NY Jets

Woody Johnson is possibly the worst owner in the league. Just has no idea and constantly flails around for a quick fix.
Sliding doors moment: someone else buys the jets in 99 and Belichick doesn't resign at his introductory HC press conference to jump to the pats.
Firing Saleh is fine. He's had 3 seasons to work it out and consistently failed. Massive success with the defence (first in EPA during his tenure I believe), but he's a HC not a DC. Even if he's delegating most of the offence to the OC he's responsible for setting the tone and philosophy and hiring a completent staff. He's done none of that. But none of that has changed through 5 games. It's the same team as last year, it's just an incompetent owner flailing about.
Ulbrich has a hell of a job on his hands, if he can't hold everything together I can see a mid season retirement coming for Rodgers.
Monday night/Tuesday afternoon going to be a fun game (although probably pretty rubbish quality football, bills have been struggling lately too).
-
Even in the biggest richest pro sports league in the world they still butcher video replay.
Even in a standalone nationally televised game on Amazon Prime after a coaches challenge with a million camera angles they get it wrong.
Thankfully for the 49ers it didn't cost them the game.
-
oof. The Cowboys at home in another national game and once again they get fucking pumped.

Bengals would be walking away with this if they could hold onto the ball in contact.

@antipodean said in NFL 2024:

or if they could prevent 4th down conversions. So frustrating to watch - conceded 5 in a row I think? Insane.
Only got there because the Giants kicker is absolute pants.
