Hey what can I say I wanted to be optimistic. Judging by your avatar I hope you've come around as well.
It already has. By my watch, he's lost us 3 games that were winnable. Today and the two patsy games plus I don't know how many last season? Either way, 21 games into his career he shouldn't still be losing us games. Unfortunately? JD and RS overthought when drafting Zach Wilson. The obvious choice should make been drafting Justin Fields. Either that or getting a decent veteran via trade or FA. Zach Wilson should NEVER be a starting QB again.....
Zach's numbers weren't bad in general, but if you compare his numbers to what QBs usually put up on the Lions, they were bad.
Not gonna lie, I expected some to think Zach was awful and the reason we lost but not this many people. I honestly expected most people to have a take similar to @Jonathan_Vilma’s, which is where I fall. Think Zach was solid today, still made some mistakes and the pick was a typical bonehead Zach play but honestly thought he was wayyyyy down the list in terms of why we lost today.
Eh, that’s not really true as of recent. Daniel Jones and Kirk technically out-statted him but a lot of those yards were in garbage time when the game was out of reach. Fields, Rodgers and Trevor Lawrence played worse.
Detroit came into today giving up 140 rushing yards a game. We got 50 today on 22 attempts. Zach wasn’t perfect but he was far from the reason we only scored 17 points today.
Our days of winning with the ground game are over. Everyone saw what Belichick did to take it away, and they're going to follow suit as Detroit just did.
100%, Zach’s the QB of the team, he’s always gonna have some skin in the game no matter what. But 50 yards on 22 attempts?? That’s pathetic. Especially against a team that usually gives up 140.
Who said anything about winning with the ground game? This game is drastically different if the offense is able to even get close to the century mark on the ground. Instead we got 50 yards on 2.3 YPC. That’s pathetic.
We sucked on early downs in both the pass and run games putting the team in terrible third down situations. Receivers bailed Zach out a few times. Window dressing on an otherwise poor offensive performance . I don’t think the team played well enough to win, if we are really being honest. I realize the D gave up the game winning score. But still. Have to play better than we did today.
