Smile? Are you referring to the facepalm emojis? Oh, I think he is absolutely poison to the team and has been the number one reason on why they haven't won again.
Oh, that's what they are! With slight magnification, I can almost see that. …too much detail in such a small image, IMO. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks JJ needs to go. And I'm not even a Cowboys fan.
 
And that, folks, is Jimmy G in a nutshell.

A fumble, followed by a Pick Six Safety in the next series, and an interception as the coup de grâce to seal the game for the other team.

On a night when your defense holds Russell Wilson (even one who's still-settling-in) to 11 9 points, your offense scores 10, and a tired defense allows RW to do what he can still do, albeit not as frequently as in the past, in the 4th quarter.

Sure, Jimmy can win some games for you, but the ill-timed mistakes, and lack of ability under pressure, only the people who rely solely on box scores will question why SF would ever want to try to upgrade from five seasons of that. SOS, DD.

It's also no wonder that a trade market for a middling, not elite, QB with a $24M cap figure, even one without a bum shoulder needing surgery, was not that great.

Somewhere in the clouds, Dennis Green might have some familiar choice words about the game.

Or, as Dirty Harry will tell you, "a man's got to know his limitations."
 
Thought the Dolphins did well to stop the Bills from a game winning drive at the end of the fourth quarter.

but hey what about them Colts upsetting the odds and beating the Chiefs? Or the Jaguars winning against the Chargers to go 2-1? Or the Ravens D to upset the Patriots? Quite a few upset wins there.

I'm more against Kyle now than Jimmy. I don't think Kyle is the right coach for this team, and I'm sick and tired of the injuries. If Kyle was billed as the offensive guru, that offense last night was atrocious. Also, Jimmy needs to have the awareness to not step out of bounds in the endzone. I would have been fine if Lance made that mistake. Jimmy was supposed to be the savior.

This is why I wanted to see Lance over Jimmy. We know what Jimmy is. The 49ers got to the Superbowl by relying on Deebo and Mostart. Jimmy can't throw the passes he needs to to be an elite QB. He's average at best.

1. Coming off shouder surgery

2. Didn't go to OTAs nor practice with the team, didn't even get a playbook until a month ago

Injuries? Bills fans are not weeping for you. 6 defensive starters out, two offensive (not to mention all the heat related plays missed) and the Bills still came within 1 second of having a chance to win that game.

Lance is still worth a look as the future, but Jimmy had hardly any practice time with the team until the last month.
 
Yes. With all the free agents they picked up, the Raiders should bot be this awful.
I really thought with McDaniels, they'd be a lot better. I gave him the benefit of doubt that he learned some hard lessons as the HC of the broncos. Things could get ugly in Las Vegas sooner then later

49ers have been walking wounded since Kyle took over, so I'm talking about a number of seasons now, not just this year.
 
LOL I just saw the NFL Network power rankings put the Eagles at #1. Are you kidding me? Two of the three teams they beat were scrubs. The Bills are 2-1 against three quality teams (and the loss came by two points, with half their defense injured) and KC beat two quality opponents out of three. And even then, the Colts could still be a quality team, we'll see. But let's wait until the Eagles play someone decent, before anointing them.

I hate the sports media and their overreactions.

I figured not much would change from when he was at the Broncos. He absolutely tanked/wrecked the Broncos when he was here, so I'm not surprised that the same is happening with him at the Raiders.
 
So will McDaniels be a one and done coach?
Ah, the once and future one-and-done head coach. Pat Bowlen fired him in Denver because his integrity didn't measure up to expectations. Team performance, while not great, was secondary. But, he did make Tim Tebow the starter at QB.
 
measure up to expectations.
First time HC come under intense scrutiny and their first foray into head coaching is marked by mistakes and missteps.

With that said, how he came off in Denver was horrible, then he did the unthinkable, backing out of the Indy job, he burned a lot of bridges doing that. Unless he rights the ship ASAP, I don't think he deserves a long tenure.

Kyle has his faults, and shares in the results. There are valid questions, if not doubts, but relative to the Dennis Ericksons, Chip Kellys, and Mike Nolans of the past, they could be in much worse shape. The loss of assistants to other teams (see-Miami as the latest) might be exposing his weaknesses to a greater degree.

Unfortunately, with Lance hurt, the big test of what the team could achieve with a QB totally of his own choice, and grooming, will have to wait another year. He's signed through 2025, so he'll have more years to deliver.

1) Jimmy had shoulder surgery, not brain surgery. Forcing a ball into double coverage from your own goal line was an invitation for the other team to get an easy score, something a Pop Warner coach would frown upon, and the type of mental mistake that has killed the team all too often in the past. Been quite evident to anyone but a superficial observer.

2) He came in stone cold the week before, under a game plan not devised for him, and they won. In his sixth season with the team, with a full week of practice with the first team, he started the Denver game and managed to play worse. Went from "riding a bike" (his own words) to going over the handlebars. Such excuses don't fly.

I'm not trying to hate on the guy, but he makes it all too easy, and more natives are getting restless.

This is the thing, a 3-0 record can e hugely inflated depending on who you play. Some teams are just filler in the league, and other teams improve in the offseason to gain a few notches in quality.
 
Tua got hurt again. He had a concussion last game (bullcrap that he didn't), they let him play anyways, they let him play against Cinci, and he got concussed again. The concussion protocols aren't 100 percent guaranteed and players lie. When he wobbled last week, that should have been enough for Tua that night. The NFL needs to fix this before someone gets killed.

But there were some signs that the Dolphins may not be entirely there yet. There were some plays where Tua and Tyreek Hill didn’t seem to be entirely on the same wavelength, and the Dolphins lost. Admittedly the Bengals had a better game, it was a good defensive performance to keep a lid on Hill and Waddle.

He did not look good at all after that hit/thrown down to the ground tackle. The way his hands and arms were, yeah it looked like he was hurt pretty bad.
