You got a glimpse of why he was available.

If he does it again next week your statement has credence. He has played far to good this year for me to buy into that just yet. Today was a collective embarrassment.

For sure, he was forced to throw the ball a million times, and he did throw for a lot of yards with 2 WR's over a hundred today.

Next week will be the tell. If he comes back to earth and looks bad, yes the regression is beginning. If however we protect and we score a bunch of points again, I think everyone can breathe a bit and feel confident he will be fine in the long run.

Do you mean trade us Maxx Crosby for a guitar out of the Irsay collection?

Sounds like a fair exchange to me!

Exactly! If we meet them in the playoffs in Indy the results will be much different. The O-line had an off game. I trust that they will bounce back.

Any team that gives up 6 turnovers and 5 sacks and only loses by 10, has the ability to overcome this.

The key is to win next week and recharge for the bye.

Did they attempt any screen passes since the rush was in their face all day?

So far Jones cannot elevate the play of those around him. If they are playing great so does he, if not neither does he. Top QBs can elevate those around them. I am not saying he cannot, just that so far he hasn't played like those top QBs can. I hope we don't pay him like one unless he shows in a game he can.

Not that I saw. Also saw very few swing pases to the RB's.
