You see this with terrible teams/QBs all the time. Completely scripted 1st drive that takes the thinking away from the QB, and then after adjustments come in reality sets back in.
If they let Brick 🧱 cook, this doesn’t happen
My dawg can game
I turned the game off after that first drive. Kind of knew that was going to be the peak.
I was one of those idiots who actually watched the whole thing, and one thing I saw that nobody else has brought up is how fields had no sense of urgency at the end of the game. He had 5+ minutes left and needed two touchdowns, we all know how unlikely it is, but ffs can you rush to the line? Can you throw to the outside ? Do you need to huddle up and burn 30 seconds between every play? That last drive told me a lot about the heart on this team, or lack there of.
*a real football team from 1925 that doesn’t throw the football
It really felt like that.
Lmfao! Hilarious.
But not wrong lol. Fields looked horrible.
Nah, more like the Patriots took away JF running and forced him to throw. He can’t. Like many QBs on the Jets before him, he can’t read defenses. Most plays, there is a very short window when guys are open, like split seconds where you have to throw the ball, and he either doesn’t see it in time, or by the time he does it’s too late.
Often you have to anticipate that the guy is going to be there. That means not being afraid to pull the trigger. We haven’t had a QB that could do that consistently for years and years. Mike White had like one game where he showed he could do that. That didn’t last, but also I am convinced we did everything we could not to pursue him because we had wasted a pick on Z. Wilson.
Hall was wide open like 10 times last night , why does fields refuse to throw to him ??
On that drive we completed 2 passes and had 10 runs. If that is an NFL offense, then this is 1947
I actually thought we had 3 good drives last night. I am not sure what people expected. We went into the 4th Quarter down 7.
The Patriots defense allows a first drive TD every single game and I am not even kidding at all
They need to run the ball every fucking play. Be it Hall or Fields or whoever. Mix in some play action to keep the defense moderately honest but that’s it. The only way they’re gonna do anything is on the ground. You can’t have Fields taking the snap and just dropping back.
We run a dual running back, no quarterback formation. Justin Fields Best throw was the one the long pass that Mitchell dropped. That’s a relatively average NFL pass. Now look at how many passes he threw behind his receivers. Or into his O-Line’s helmets. The pads to Mitchell in the end zone in the 4th is a perfect example. A good QB puts that pass on Mitchell’s outside shoulder. Fields practically tries to the defender’s butt.
This is just my thoughts, but the only reason Fields is still starting is because Tyrod is still too injured to play.
Scripted drive to start the game and Fields made the wrong read on the TD, but was still able to pick it up through pure athleticism. After that drive, they were the team we knew they were.
