Around the NFL week 9

They tried to save face for letting KC walk... It didn't pan out like usual in Washington...

Yet they still operate the same way...diminishing Haskins trade value by leaks and not making him 2nd qb

This team is still doing the same thing regardless

Yeah i don't get the RR and Haskins situation.. So you say "Dwayne is not done here at all" But you start a 36 YO one legged QB over him next week? LOLOL

Of course Antonio Gibson has been bad in pass pro, where JD McK has excelled. Gibson cost Allen a season most likely. Bad coaching

3 INTs will lose you most games, but it's not sugar coating things to say he played better than probably anyone was expecting and he did a good job of making it a close game again.

That said I'd rather see Haskins back in there or hell even Montez. Going forward with Alex doesn't make much sense. He's not the future.

Alex was slinging it and not always checking down, I think that's what got him in trouble with the INT's he started feeling it and was letting it fly. He probably knew he had to be aggressive if they were going to pull it out. I don't really fault him. The early turnovers are what did us in, again. Bad teams fall behind early and often and that's where we're at right now.


This. You could tell he was getting more comfortable, moving around in the pocket, on the first 2 min drill drive he was moving down the field comfortably with minimal pressure, then they blitzed and forced him to make a bad throw and Peppers made the play. The pick was terrible, throwing off his back foot, across his body, into the middle of the field. The Giants DC called it right though. And his 3rd pick was even worse.

But I thought the McLaurin td really put some confidence in Smith that he can make those throws, and it got him in trouble at the end of the game. I'm fine rolling with him for next week, don't think it's fair to judge him after 2 years out of the game. If Allen is injured for several weeks at minimum I'm cool rolling with Smith.

3 ints...don’t fucking sugar coat shit. Pathetic
Terrible trade and worst contract. I knew it when Bruce did it

Whatever man. You're real good at hindsight, I can see that.

This team was what, 6-3 when he got hurt. No one could have predicted that. It was unfortunate, and the team hasn't figured out the QB position since that injury. That's a fact.

Did they pay him too much, now that you look at what you got out of him? Yes. However, if it had all worked out differently - if he had been able to continue that season and beyond without the injury, who knows.

I'm not sugarcoating anything. The two late INTs were terrible, and I said that. It happens to the best of them... Happen to see the Sunday night game?

Damn Jets! Went to bed thinking the Jets were going to win and maybe we’d have a shot at Lawrence

Jets almost blowing their shot at Lawrence good thing they got their act in gear and lost.

Don't get the Alex bashing. We were 6-3, probably 6-4 after that game. We are just dismissing this as no big deal? Compared to our usual shitshow such as this year, that should be celebrated.

The dude suffered the most devastating football injury I've ever seen. That pretty much invalidates trying to make a hindsight decision on the deal.

We were competing and winning games, kind of the whole point. Not trying to win a beauty contest.

And his contract is not crazy by any stretch in the QB market. I'm excited for him for Sunday.

It doesn't appear that Haskins is the future either. We'll see how it goes down the stretch, but my guess is as long as they are in the division race, we won't see Haskins - unless there's another QB injury :puke:.

The only way to properly develop and evaluate this young roster is to put in the QB that gives you the best chance to do that, AND gives you the best chance to win. That is Alex Smith at this point.

Also, I know A Smith's contract isn't all that team friendly over the next two years, but I wouldn't write him off just yet.
