NOTE: This is not a JP trashing thread!
We were kinda awful for the first 7 weeks! The offense couldn’t do anything and the numbers were terrible (save for the loss to the Jets). Our 2 wins game against a terrible Miami team and to the Vikings who almost took the lead in the last minute.
The key in these games was that our offense just couldn’t get it done.
The team started to play better, but over the next 2 weeks the offense continued to struggle as we beat the Packers and lost to the Colts.
It was really only in week 10 that JP started to turn it on.
That’s when he torched the Texans for over 300 yards. Critics will point to 2 long plays, but I know football and I know that that’s how you sometimes get big numbers. Plus he had the comeback at the end of the game.
From here on out, the offense played better and we were in every game finishing the year 4-3 with a 1 point and 3 point loss in there.
Things I noticed, JP was playing much better but he turns it over for big plays. In the last 7 games he:
- Threw an Int for at TD against Baltimore in a 12 point loss. (one score game without the mistake.
- Threw an Int for a TD against Houston in what turned out to be a win but forced us to have to come back.
- Threw 2 picks against Tennessee in a huge 1 point loss
- Threw 2 picks against SD in a 3 point loss
It scares me that this JP turnaround was really only 7 games. But he converted me last year, so I’m ready to get started this year. I just hope he can learn to keep the turnovers down. The new O-line should be a great help.
His numbers for the last 7 weeks
130 – 205 63.4%for 1553 yards, 12 TD’s and 8 picks. Not too bad.
Prorated for 16 games the numbers would look like this
297 – 469 63.4% for 3550 yards, 27 TD’s and 18 picks.
Yeah, I’d take that! Just take the picks down by 5 or so.
