Sometimes it isnt there and you have to put your head down to get the tough yards

He plays soft and bounces nearly everyone

Kenyon Sadiq is a monster in the making.

We have watched Garret make ridiculous catches for years and wonder if anyone else can do it for us. Sadiq proved has can do it right now.

Gotta wonder how we can move the ball with this many injured pieces as we now likely lose Breece and Parham for a while and who knows what happens with Garret. After Geno got sacked at the end I wondered if he was hurt as well.



This was actually fun to watch. Which is something we havent been able to say about us for a long time. I am very surprised with how well they played today. Glenn will never be able to manage the clock and the game properly, but he actually did better today than expected. That said as a DC his gameplan to stop Gibbs was atrocious
Need a new one for a new board...

I'm just happy this team is kind of fun to watch again. All 3 games have been competitive. They dominated Week 1. They were the better team but found a way to lose in Week 2. They lost to a better team on the road in Week 3, but were driving late with a chance to tie.

The Jets are moving in the right direction. They truly seem to be on that Lions path under Campbell. 2022 Lions seem like a totally fair comp.

I am torn on Glenn because I don't like a lot of his in-game decisions, and those are the easiest decisions to second guess as a fan (though he was fine today). But this is a big improvement over what we had been. And this defense is not that talented, yet it has been solid all season.

I can't be that mad at the defense for allowing 31 points to the team that scores 31 points every game, especially in their building.

Not too many teams stop Gibbs

This team has been competitive, and we were in it till the end against a legitimate contender with a ton of offensive weapons. Considering just how bad this team was last year, it's a lot to ask for them to even be playing as well as they have, particularly with a band-aid secondary.

Geno absolutely ripped Sadiq for lining up on the wrong side of the formation earlier in the game.

It was really great to see him show confidence in Sadiq as the game went on.  He is an absolute matchup nightmare out there.  Get him the football.

I really don't care too much about the record this year.  It's good to see them competitive in each game.  Injuries are piling up though. 

Sadiq is basically another WR out there, but at 240 lbs.  That's hard to deal with.

When we have GW, AD, Sadiq, Cooper, and whoever at RB out there, it's going to be a scary offense for defenses.

And then we have the multi-TE sets.

Yes, and Wilson too!

Maybe AD being hurt this week was a blessing in disguise. I read all the time during camp about the rapport Smith and Mitchell had, and I was nervous it would carry into the season, and it has. Obviously, not bad to have rapport, but it's been at the expense of everyone else's targets.

There are so many weapons for Geno out there.

Just wait till Brady Cook gets to sizzle with all these weapons!

I agree but it's hard to sell if we're 2-6 but "at least we were competitive"

If we keep losing close games that's a pretty big symptom of poor coaching.
