Gästebuch » The only time rookie quarterbacks

Josh Allen and Sam Darnold got on the field when the Bills faced the Jets a month ago was to shake hands following Buffalo's lopsided victory.On Sunday Authentic Marcus Mariota Jersey , much more is anticipated from both when the two AFC East teams meet in Orchard Park.Allen, drafted seventh overall, will make his third start for Buffalo since missing four games with a sprained right throwing elbow. And the Jets' Darnold, drafted third, is on track to return since missing three games with a strained right foot.The focus on the two quarterbacks represents one of the few reasons for intrigue in a meeting of teams 鈥?Buffalo is 4-8 and the Jets 3-9 鈥?with little on the line entering the final month.Just don't ask Jets coach Todd Bowles to commit to starting Darnold despite the rookie being a full participant in practice Wednesday and Thursday."Trying to get him better and getting him healthy, and then we'll go from there," Bowles said, when asked if he could satisfy people's curiosity over who'll start. "I'm not really looking to making people happy."The Jets haven't done much to make anyone happy for plenty of other reasons.In losing six straight, they've followed one low point with another, while raising questions over Bowles' job security.There was New York's 41-10 loss to the Bills, after which Bowles said: "We stunk it up as coaches, we stunk it up as players."Then came last weekend, when the Jets squandered a 16-0 lead in a 26-22 loss at Tennessee. Bowles referred to the collapse as "one of them games you'll remember for the rest of your life."Continuing Darnold's development then becomes the priority, much like the Bills' approach to Allen.Both have had their inconsistencies.In Week 2 Youth Wesley Woodyard Jersey , Darnold became the NFL's youngest quarterback to top 300 yards passing in a 20-12 loss to Miami. On the downside, he also leads the league with 14 interceptions, including four in his last start, a 13-6 loss to Miami.Allen was erratic, going 69 of 114 for 657 yards and two touchdowns, with five interceptions and a lost fumble in his first five starts. He has shown signs of progress by going 26 of 52 for 391 yards with three TDs and two interceptions in his past two.Allen is also proving to be an adept scrambler by combining for 234 yards rushing and a touchdown in the past two games."We're watching a young man grow and develop right in front of our eyes," Bills coach Sean McDermott said.The Jets can only hope for the same once Darnold returns."Before he got hurt, he was developing. He was seeing the defenses better. He was making his reads. He was making his audibles and checks at the line," Bowles said. "That part of it we were very pleased with. Some of those things he'll have to get back."Here are other things to know when the Jets and Bills square off:BAD MEMORIESThe Jets insist they've moved on from the Bills' loss, a game they trailed 31-3 at the half, and were outgained 451 to 199 yards offense. They haven't forgotten, however."Let's cut to the chase, man 鈥?it's personal," safety Jamal Adams said. "They came in and they whooped us http://www.titansauthorizedshops.com/authentic-brian-orakpo-jersey , man. They don't like us. We don't like them."SPUTTERING JETSThe Jets have scored one or fewer touchdown in a franchise-worst five consecutive games. They've also been limited to one field goal on 17 fourth-quarter possessions over their past four games. Eight ended with punts, five with interceptions, two on downs and one missed field goal.Bowles said the blame is on the entire offense, and not simply first-year offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates."It's not from a lack of trying or everybody trying," Bowles said. "It just hasn't happened and it's extremely frustrating that we can't get a touchdown instead of field goals."IMPROVING BILLSAfter going through three starters in their first nine games, the Bills averaged 248 yards offense and 10.6 points an outing.The past three games, including Matt Barkley's one start against the Jets, the Bills are averaging 398 yards offense and 27.3 points.Allen said the improvement goes beyond statistics. "It's the feel that we have. It's the chemistry in the locker room right now," he said.RARE TAKEAWAYSThe Jets tied an NFL record by going five straight without forcing a turnover. That drought ended when Trumaine Johnson returned a pass from Tennessee's Marcus Mariota 31 yards for a touchdown.By comparison, the Jets have the NFL's fourth-most giveaways (24), one fewer than Buffalo.THE FUTURE IS NOWAfter releasing receivers Kelvin Benjamin and Andre Holmes on Tuesday, the Bills could have as many as five starters on offense with less than two years of NFL experience. Their defense already features four players in their first or second seasons.AP Pro Football Writer Dennis Waszak Jr., in Florham Park, New Jersey DaQuan Jones Jersey , contributed to this report. The Titans came up with a huge win over the defending champion Eagles on Sunday. Here are the winners and losers (winners) from the game. WinnersCorey DavisCorey Davis had his breakout game at the best possible time. Rishard Matthews quit on the team this week and Davis responded with a 9 catch, 161-yard, 1-touchdown performance that announced his status as a star receiver in the NFL. He had already put together a big game when he hauled in the game winning pass on 3rd and goal at the 10-yard line, but the catch he made to take the win was legendary and it evoked this reaction from my friends at the game.This is Davis’ team now and for the foreseeable future. He took over this game and continues to develop as a true number one receiver. That’s something the Titans haven’t had in quite some time and it feels pretty surreal to even talk about it now.Harold LandryLandry had been very close to a sack for two straight games, but he finally broke through against the Eagles with a strip sack that resulted in a Titans turnover.Landry beat Lane Johnson here which is impressive in its own right. Johnson is coming off an All-Pro season and is one of the better tackles in the league. Landry beat him like a drum and turned it in to a huge play for the Titans. He’s well on his way to becoming one of the most important players on the team.Marcus MariotaMariota went 30 of 43 for 344 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception. He was outstanding against a good defense despite having less than a full complement of receivers. If Mariota was limited, he sure didn’t show it. He was accurate all over the field and should have had even better numbers if it weren’t for a couple horrific drops from his receivers.On the biggest drive of the season, Mariota came up with three 4th down conversions before giving Davis a chance to win the game on 3rd and goal. He was fantastic.Dion LewisLewis was playing against one of his former teams and he had a big day through the air, catching 9 passes for 66 yards, including one of the 4th down conversions on the final drive in overtime.Jurrell CaseyCasey somehow didn’t end up with a sack during the game, but he was a wrecking ball in the interior of the Titans defense all game. He’s playing at an All-Pro level right now.Mike VrabelWhat more is there to say about this guy? The Titans were down 17-3 in the 3rd quarter against the defending champs and they found a way to come back. Even bigger, Vrabel had the guts to go for it on 4th and 2 at the Eagles 32-yard line during the game winning drive, eschewing a 49-yard field goal attempt for a chance to tie the game. That was a huge call and more than just giving them the chance to win this game Authentic Jurrell Casey Jersey , it showed an aggressive mentality that can infect a football team. Jayon BrownBrown just keeps getting better and better. Wesley Woodyard went down with an injury early in the game which led to a heavy workload for Brown. He appeared to be making the defensive calls on the field and came up with 10 tackles, 1 sack, and 2 QB hits in an outstanding performance. LosersMalcolm Butler There shouldn’t be many losers in a game like this so I won’t linger here, but Butler was picked on today and gave up entirely too much.Derrick HenryIt was a bad day for Henry. He finished with just 24 yards rushing on 8 carries to go along with a really bad drop on a toss play that nearly resulted in a turnover. He will have better days, but this wasn’t one of them.Jonnu SmithOn a day when Mariota completed 30 passes, none of them were to a tight end. Worse, Smith dropped what should have been a 3rd down conversion on the first drive of the game after a beautiful escape in the pocket by Mariota. Get well soon, Delanie.Darius JenningsIf the Titans had not gone on to score on that final drive, we would have been talking about Jennings’ drop of a perfect deep Mariota pass as a major “what if” moment for the game and the season potentially. However, he’s off the hook thanks to his teammates. Eagles FansThey turned out in big numbers, but went home sad, just like 13 of the last 15 opponents to enter Nissan Stadium.The Titans are starting to have a real home field advantage. WE WIN!!!
