If they aren't 4 - 2 going into Carolina I'd fire Chip on the spot. Pathetic opponents coming up the next 3 weeks.
this is what happens when you look at stat sheets and not watch the game. In no way shape or form is Mallet as bad as Gabbert. Gabbert often looked lost out there. Mallet does not.
the difference being Gabbert never tried to push the ball down the field. Mallet is throwing deep routes, they're not throwing 3 and 5 yard outs.
Hopkins "dropped" two 15-20 yard passes, not technically drops but he had them in his hands and the defender made a good play. Washington flat out missed another deep ball.
His YPA are low because of incompletions, not because they're throwing short routes.
He needs to get better, and I think he will. He also doesn't need to be "elite" for this team to win either. Run the ball, play good defense and let him make some plays. He gets the ball out quick, he's not standing back there waiting to get drilled. For better or worse the ball is coming out on time and going down the field.

They could be 16-0 and you would fire Chip on the spot.

On a scale of 1 to 5 Gabberts (with 1 being low and 5 being high) how much more of a gunslinger would you say he is compared to Hoyer?
In case you haven't noticed, Chip's offense has now been regressing pretty steadily and it is currently the second-worst offense in the NFL based on yards per play. Yeah, they could turn it around but I'm not holding out much hope that Bradford will be the guy who does that.
On the flip side, at least the defense is much improved. So we have that going for us.

I could have sworn I read posts from Eagles fans in the preseason saying that who was at QB was ultimately meaningless in Chip tha God's system.

Never forget.
They held the P*ts to their season low point output. The front seven has looked great so far, still concerned about the back four.

Never forget.
He was technically 2-0 at the time...
Not during the Mike Nolan/Singletary era. It only started coming together when our defense actually could pressure the QB and stop the pass (and get some value out of our passing game).
You want details...He got your details.

You mean when you got a coach worth a damn? It's still the same players that were drafted to stop the run and run the ball as you complained about.
:jnc
there's no comparison to Hoyer. Against the Chefs, Hoyer looked lost too. He stood there and held the ball for forever, taking four sacks. Mallet's been sacked 3 times since coming in the 4th quarter of that game. With arguably a worse offensive line, or at minimum an Oline with a lot more injuries. Hoyer's sacs included a sack fumble inside the 5. He also had an actual ugly pick against the Chefs. He had like one good looking drive all game. They ran for 4.7 a carry against them too, so its not like they had a non existent running game either.
Another fun stat, the Texans defense have allowed 32 points when the other teams offense isn't given a short field off turnovers. They've allowed 28 off of turnovers.
Obviously you'd like to see the defense hold them once in a while on a short field.
It was funny watching that game with my dolphins buddies. That one corner was giving 10 yard cushions to WR's every play. It was hilarious.

Sam Bradford this year when facing the Jets: 1-0

Same but i've also thought the recent insistence that you need all pros back there was overblown. Granted shy of Brady the Steelers haven't faced a QB worth a damn but even in that game I thought they held up well (aside from the communication issues of course).

McCain? Yeah....and we didn't bench him until the 3rd. That's my elite coaching staff tho.
Iggles should bring Trent Dilfer out of retirement.

Yes I did
Titans +7
Had a decent weekend in parlays. Could of been better but Ravens choked on one card and Chargers on another.. overall it was a decent weekend
wow, so much for the o-line excuse

He had a good camp but I have no idea why he's been so terrible, And Wake is M.I.A. at the moment. He had a hamstring injury so I don't know if that's slowing him down or if age slowed him down too much already.
Sex starved kickers on notice.

That experiment was already tested, and resulted in a whopping 11 yards and an eternal fear of the Lee Monster
Ehh, I'm not exactly high on Mallet, but I do give him credit for throwing the ball out so fast after the snap. Most of the time he has poise in the pocket, so he's without question obviously greater than Blaine Gabbert. My feelings are hurt because of some of the O-Line and Nate Washington. God, he makes me sick.
They need to punish the Special Teams and force them to sprint up and down the field until they pass out. It's beyond shameful that they continue to be shit in both coverage and returns.
Whoever wrote that statement is wrong and needs to watch more. Gabbert a worse Shit.
I was bummed that I couldn't watch the Sea/Chi game, but then I was just bummed.
This is the closest I could get to him trying to make pre-snap reads. 10MB Gif

All the blitzing the Jets do and they only pressured Bradford on 7 drop backs all game. That seems a bit dubious. Either way hopefully he knocks the rust off and guys also do a better job catching perfectly thrown balls.
Huh? Did you not see the two potential TDs that were dropped? That's like 150 yards right there. Then the Aggy drop drop as well. You have to not be paying attention to the games if you don't notice obvious miscommunication errors going on. He only three 28 passes. When receivers drop 3-5 of them, it will make your completion percentage go down no doubt. As I've already said, he has had his issues as well, and if those issues are still persistent around week 8 then I'll be concerned. Right now I'm not.
Edit: my 6s can finally handle the GIFs on this site. Woo!
None of that impacts YPA. He's Jason Campbell without the tiny bit of elusiveness.

It's gonna be real shitty when the Ravens lose to Charlie Batch on Thursday.

I think you're confusing Charlie with Mike Vick. Charlie was on the local TV broadcasts during Preseason.

Kap would excel in chips system
Every running back would have broken hands by week 2 of preseason.
Well, yeah. If he looked good, they wouldn't have a chance to get him. You don't find quality QBs available for trade or in free agency. You have to take a chance on a guy as a reclamation project.
Kinda what they did with Bradford only Kaep's skill set actually fits the system that Chip should be running.

Charlie Batch has been the backup in Pittsburgh since 1988. He'll still be the backup when I die.

I'm not making excuses for Bridgewater. He's had two bad games and one solid game where he basically just managed the offense against the poop lions.
I do think he's better than this, we saw it at the end oflast year. There is no reason for it though.

Maybe we can give Will Davis a shot soon. Oh wait...
You can make excuses for Bridgewater though. I don't feel he fits with that group due to inexperience.
