Nate how due you think he performs against the Colts?

If he performs below 50 percent I think we have trouble winning?

I think we have trouble winning if we complete more passes to the Colts defenders than our WRs.

"We just gotta continue to take it day-to-day," said Watson, who added that an MRI revealed a "microtear" in his rotator cuff muscle. "I'm not gonna put the team in jeopardy if I can't do certain things that is gonna allow us to be handicapped in certain situations. That's the reason why I haven't been able to step on the field."

He can’t throw deep/with velocity.  Whether we like it or not, sitting is the right move.  Hopefully he plays this week but if not our backup needs to go beat their backup. No excuses.

Unless I’m mistaken, DTR is back to QB2 this week. What a disaster.

Honestly I don’t know what to say.  Like, DTR looked bad, but had very little prep time.  PJ had prep time and got us a win, but he also looked terrible.

I’d personally play and have packages for both of them.  Let DTR use his legs, give him some designed easy reads, etc.  PJ gets a lot of snaps too.  Throw everything at the wall and see what sticks

I’ll be the troll:

This is on AB for not having a viable contingency plan and trading Dobbs, and even then not trading for a viable backup quarterback headed into the bye considering this diagnosis was available to him in September. Ravens game is whatever, but what about the next 2 weeks? Completely unacceptable.

Is nick foles retired? I'd bring himjor Wentz in

DTR is the plan, and not a terrible one.  He shat the bed against a good team with a very good defense with a couple hours notice he was starting.

Writing him off after one start is no less reactionary than the people who were crowning him because he looked good in preseason.

To be clear here, if he goes out and pees straight up in the air again against a pretty subpar Colts team, it’s absolutely on AB for not getting a vet backup going into the bye. If by some miracle a weeks worth of reps takes him from horrendous to “just don’t turn it over kid”, then that’s great.

I think that’s fair, yeah.  He’s on the 53, he’s gotta be ready to play with some reasonable accommodations for his inexperience and such.

Green is us
Red is Buffalo vs New England
Blue is Washington vs New York

Spoiler alert- They’re going to turn the ball over. Probably at least twice.

 

Just throw it to Cooper if he’s open.
