AJ > DK

That's not crazy at all. AJ can do more than DK.

lol Sidney Jones "He just stood there"

Hamler just got destroyed on his block attempt. 

So I think Watkins is a pretty bad KR. I wouldn’t be surprised to see teams start trying to force him into returns.

Agree. I think Covey should take that job too.

Yea, he isn't cut out for it at all.

How many of them won?

by this logic, Cincinnati should trade us Joe Burrow for Hurts straight up. If winning a game is the mark of sustainably successful QB play, then why not? That’s a pretty illogical over-simplification. 
 

Conversely, if Hurts had made good reads, spread the ball around, kept his eyes downfield and thrown a few TDs and used his arm to put the team on his back, and we had lost, would you be calling it a bad game? I wouldn’t. I’d say it was marked improvement and called it a great game. Regardless of the outcome. I can’t bring myself to believe that you honestly rate whether or not a QB played well based on the outcome of the final score. I’ve read your posts  for too long to believe that. 
 

If we went 0-17 this year because of the defense, but Hurts went for 4,000 yards passing, 33 TDs and 12 INTs, 63%, and like 300 yards rushing, and showed the ability to read defenses and make timing throws, I’d be championing the Hurts bandwagon for the future. What I’m looking for from a QB has nothing to do with wins and losses, because football is the ultimate team (and coaching) sport.

Yeah, he just has no business out there. Team putting him in a bad spot

He's so bad at it. That was obvious before yesterday though. He's pretty awkward with the ball after a catch too.

Ole Miss somehow didn't win with DK, Brown and Elijah Moore.

Who was the QB?

I can’t believe how many Denver fans there are at that game.  Shows what frauds that Seattle fan base is.  

True i think seahawks fans are frauds. also Denver fans travel well.

Also saw on a replay some stupid lady in a neon green seattle jersey with a huge smile when Wilson threw the TD to Jeudy.

Shea Patterson for some of it 

Denver’s red zone offense is a dumpster fire. the fumbles and penalties

You made an unwarranted leap and I trust you know it. Hurts was the main reason we scored 31 on offense. Detroit had a great game plan, frustrated because our QB could make plays even when their pass rush brought free runners. Geez! This is simple crap.  Get over whatever you want to grind on Hurts for and acknowledge that this ONE TIME he was the reason we won. 
whether it’s replicable is an issue for another time.

Exactly.

Im not sure you will see many other teams have as much success beating our OL. But you are going to see a lot of teams try to exploit Hurts in the same way. Hes not saving the offense by running. That is fools gold. The relentless blitz and his need to escape so many times (17 rushes is far too much) is a symptom of his syndrome. Not some redeeming quality.

The defense wasnt the only reason. Hurts was a reason too. 

If he could throw, he wouldnt have had to "bail out" the offense with his legs so much. The fact that detroit was able to turn up the heat so much on defense was entirely because of his deficiencies as a passer. His inability to read a defense pre, and post snap. His weak arm. His affinity to run like a chicken with its head cut off. And his unwillingness to even attempt to push the ball down the field beyond 12 yards.

Every yard we got felt like a struggle because of it. And it wasnt sustainable. Which is why Detroit eventually outscored our offense. We couldnt keep putting up points because we dont have a QB. And Detroit exploited that.

I’ll say it again Thirty-one should be enough. Our defense sucked. That was not on Hurts. Detroit eventually outscored our offense because we sucked on D. Period. Blaming Hurts for that is just silly.

Im not blaming the defense on Hurts. No one has disputed that the defense sucked. At the same time, Hurts was putrid.

The bolded part is fair, but what ultimately matters, to me. Yeah, Hurts being the same guy he’s been since he was benched for Tua won us a game against the worst team in the league. Whoopie. He ran his way to squeezing out a win against a bad team. I’ll give you that.

 

But I still wouldn’t consider it a "great game” in terms of an NFL QB. It was enough to win yesterday. An ugly win. But it’s not gonna cut it. And I don’t see how that isn’t obvious and not a concern.

As I said, whether it’s replicable is an issue for another time. Probably next Sunday.

Detroit's defense sucked too. Don't be surprised when Hurts looks putrid against an actual defense.

All that was needed was a 1 yard run for a score and Denver proceeds to do something not accomplished in 35 years.

Lose a fumble twice at the 1 yard line 🤣
