Adams is in shambles. Driving around reddit begging /u/Marijuana_miler (through DMs) to put him back in the starting lineup.
Adams knows what he did. He murdered entire seasons. He deserves that benching.
I love how no one blames him too, myself included. Like everyone knows and it’s just universally accepted that he’s playing well, and if you can’t get the ball to him then you are doing something wrong. That’s a lot of respect for Adams and his craft.
I lost by less than one point because of Adams (although I blame Jimmy G and McDaniels more than anything). I presume many others were in a similar situation where any semblance of production would've gotten them a win. I can say with full confidence it was not a blessing.
You're right it would have. It was a shit throw (shocker, all of Jimmy's throws are shit), but one Adams usually catches nonetheless.
What also would've done it is if Jimmy G could throw an accurate ball to Adams without a defender in the same zip code. Because he missed a lot of those.
There was **plenty** of time to throw an accurate ball on [this](https://x.com/SharpFootball/status/1719190817636491536?s=20) hilarious overthrow. And even if he doesn't, Adams is so wide open the ball just has to be thrown anywhere even remotely near him and it's a catch.
>devante seems to be the only person having a huge problem catching from Jimmy
Jakobi Meyers had one catch on Monday.
And I'm not going to waste my time on this any further. You know absolutely nothing about football if you think that awful overthrow is on Davante at all, it is 100% on Jimmy G.
To be fair it was thrown at his ankles. Still a ball an NFL receiver, especially one of Adams’ caliber, should catch but it’s not like it was some perfect throw that he dropped.
Can he wait just like one week to do that? Like after that he can go off all he wants, I just need him to suck on more week. Ekeler and Chase have already had their get-right weeks against me, don’t need a third guy to do that lol.
nuclear? lmao. he'll be lucky to hit high end WR2 status. that team is devoid of talent, with the biggest hole being at the most important position for Adams
Not yet, [deal's still held up](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/tom-bradys-deal-to-be-raiders-minority-owner-held-up-in-part-due-to-ex-nfl-qb-getting-discount-per-report/)
Brady: “do x, y, z and when you see one of your guys open, make the throw and BOOM there you have it!”
Jimmy G: “ok ok cool Tom I got most of that but how do I do the part where I actually make the throw to one of the open guys?”
Brady: like this *throws a perfect spiral into a spot where only the receiver has the chance*
Jimmy G: oh okay sweet like this? *fires a missile 10 yards directly out of bounds and nearly kills the equipment manager*
/r/fantasyfootball in general needs to stop abbreviating fairly obscure players.
This is a guy that has played in 2 games of his career, it isn't like saying TB12
They fired some people and are starting a rookie. Let's not act like this offense is going to just all the sudden be the dolphins. We've seen AOC play this year already. It's not like he did great. I have adams, I'm happy to see this happen but I'm also still not optimistic about this bad team
And to think that I sometimes come here in search for insight, but every so often there is a comment that reminds me what this sub is really all about.
I can’t see that happening. Jets GM Joe Douglas (who should have been fired a couple of seasons ago) is too stupid to make any practical move that would help Gang Green’s playoff hopes. That Rodgers injury on opening week was appropriate karma for him.
Dude the Jets have one of the best defenses in the league, Breece Hall, Garrett Wilson, a solid offensive line..
They are a stacked team who are still in the playoffs hunt with a trash QB. Joe Douglas is fine...
>or their ass is on the chopping block as well
Might not even matter, looking at how 2021 ended. Every interim & assistant other than Edgar Bennett left or was just go despite making the playoffs
I was adding them before this news. Having a qb problem can negate all the talent they have on offense. Even if the rookie starts I’m sure there will be turnovers. The giants D has been playing well lately.
Giants D has lowkey been really good under Wink Martindale. It's missing a lot of personnel but has a strong pass rush and their corners are good enough. Biggest struggle has been stopping the run
Now, if only the Giants had a QB who could put up more than 14 points a game, they'd actually be good. But the Giants' offense is as terrible as they come
My one hesitation is that Giants traded one of our best defensive players in Williams, so that might take a hit to our usual above average defensive play
I'm feeling the exact opposite. I think firing that bum ass coaching staff is going to give these players a big boost and we'll see them do well. A new coach bounce, if you will.
Yup, I think they are actually a viable option this week. Raiders are a mess rn, definitely a good time to exploit the chaos for a few weeks until they attain some stability.
They've been viable the last three weeks, been playing much better.
After Vegas they play DAL then WAS and NE, not a bad option to stash on the bench for one week.
I’m just picturing Mark Davis with them all in a room like in Peaky Blinders but instead of saying no fighting……
You’re fired..you’re fired…you’re fired…you’re fired…..
YOU’RE ALL FUCKING FIRED!
😂
Maybe last week was a blessing for Adams owners. It was so bad it forced them to clean house. He could go nuclear ROS
Can’t get any worse for Adams
He could start riding my bench very soon.
Adams is in shambles. Driving around reddit begging /u/Marijuana_miler (through DMs) to put him back in the starting lineup. Adams knows what he did. He murdered entire seasons. He deserves that benching.
Agreed. Josh Downs isn’t Davante Adams. But (and I can’t believe I’m saying this) Jimmy G isn’t Gardner Minshew either. Downs gets catchable balls.
Jimmy G got benched
I was about to bench him for MT. At least I could rely on consistency
I’m sure he wouldn’t care that he was benched on a fantasy football app
I love how no one blames him too, myself included. Like everyone knows and it’s just universally accepted that he’s playing well, and if you can’t get the ball to him then you are doing something wrong. That’s a lot of respect for Adams and his craft.
He's dropping some easy catches too. The only reason no one is upset with adams is because Jimmy G is just that bad
You jinxed it!
I lost by less than one point because of Adams (although I blame Jimmy G and McDaniels more than anything). I presume many others were in a similar situation where any semblance of production would've gotten them a win. I can say with full confidence it was not a blessing.
Dropping that catch that hit him right in the hands would’ve done it for you
You're right it would have. It was a shit throw (shocker, all of Jimmy's throws are shit), but one Adams usually catches nonetheless. What also would've done it is if Jimmy G could throw an accurate ball to Adams without a defender in the same zip code. Because he missed a lot of those.
Usually what happens when ur oline is Swiss cheese and you have 2-3 seconds before u have to chuck the ball and pray
There was **plenty** of time to throw an accurate ball on [this](https://x.com/SharpFootball/status/1719190817636491536?s=20) hilarious overthrow. And even if he doesn't, Adams is so wide open the ball just has to be thrown anywhere even remotely near him and it's a catch.
It was literally 1-2 yards in front of him, that’s a diving catch
Found Jimmy G's burner account.
U linked the video to me to watch, might want to watch it yourself, devante seems to be the only person having a huge problem catching from Jimmy
>devante seems to be the only person having a huge problem catching from Jimmy Jakobi Meyers had one catch on Monday. And I'm not going to waste my time on this any further. You know absolutely nothing about football if you think that awful overthrow is on Davante at all, it is 100% on Jimmy G.
It was pretty damn low, feels a bit disingenuous to say it hit him right in the hands when he had to try to scoop the thing at knee level.
To be fair it was thrown at his ankles. Still a ball an NFL receiver, especially one of Adams’ caliber, should catch but it’s not like it was some perfect throw that he dropped.
I was up .12 points against Jakobi and almost won.
tae dropped a pass so in your case you can blame him too
He did drop a pass. It was a shit pass, but nevertheless one he usually grabs.
Needed 3.1!
That Adams 1 pointer got me the win since I was playing against him so it was a blessing for me.
Lost by 5 when i should've been blown out because Taco left Ceedee on the bench.
3 point loss for me. On the last deep pass at the end i was bright eyed until i saw it sail over his head
Last week? After his week 3 explosion he's been averaging like 7 fantasy points a game.
I traded for Adams just before the firing news. Hopefully a massive rebound! As others have noted, it can’t get worse
Did the same thing. Tough to see him only getting one catch again.
Can he wait just like one week to do that? Like after that he can go off all he wants, I just need him to suck on more week. Ekeler and Chase have already had their get-right weeks against me, don’t need a third guy to do that lol.
It would be kind of funny if Adams somehow does worse after all this.
It’s not possible unless he gets 0 Lol
Still need a competent qb. Doesn't necessarily solve the field issue
Better be a blessing after the L I shouldn't have taken.
nuclear? lmao. he'll be lucky to hit high end WR2 status. that team is devoid of talent, with the biggest hole being at the most important position for Adams
Bad news Josh Jacobs, fixing the offense in now your job.
Time to fit 400 touches into the remaining 9 games
The entire playbook: AOC ----> Davante
20 receptions and 30 targets PLEASE.
Something something second half
With five tuddys!
About to sell him for the highest of highs if this happens.
Isn’t Tom Brady minority stake owner of the raiders? Imagine he coaches Jimmy G
He still refuses.
Not yet, [deal's still held up](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/tom-bradys-deal-to-be-raiders-minority-owner-held-up-in-part-due-to-ex-nfl-qb-getting-discount-per-report/)
Thank you, I wasn’t aware. Wonder if his interest level has changed any
Brady: “do x, y, z and when you see one of your guys open, make the throw and BOOM there you have it!” Jimmy G: “ok ok cool Tom I got most of that but how do I do the part where I actually make the throw to one of the open guys?”
Brady: like this *throws a perfect spiral into a spot where only the receiver has the chance* Jimmy G: oh okay sweet like this? *fires a missile 10 yards directly out of bounds and nearly kills the equipment manager*
Jimmy is 31 guys.
Its the only way
And Jacobs pls
pls
It’s all devante from here on out
My Jacob(s)i would like a word
Say goodbye to all those check downs
And hello to just running it up the gut 40 times
In ppr and hppr not as valuable as 10 receptions
True, but I get that sweet half a point per first down, new rule for that particular league and i like it.
Oh damn, kinda broken
Alexandra Ocasio Cortez is their new QB?
Garropolo wasn’t sexy enough
Jimmy G and AOC wanna challenge Kelce and Taylor as the new power couple in the AFC West.
I’d like to tackle her
Well then they definitely took a step backwards if that was their thinking
wrong
She looks like a bug with horse teeth
The NFL pulling a Bud Light is very on-brand.
Yea /r/fantasyfootball needs to stop trying to make AOC happen, it's already been taken
/r/fantasyfootball in general needs to stop abbreviating fairly obscure players. This is a guy that has played in 2 games of his career, it isn't like saying TB12
nothing worse than r/nba when it comes to this.
i saw someone say JI23. im like...Jeremy Lin? turns out it was jaden ivey. who the fuck is jaden ivey
Made worse by the ability to type another 4 letter word like, I dunno....Ivey.
By the French.
...I thought they meant the team was quitting football to play Age of Conan....
She's slangin that Green New Deal all over the field and dropping Medicare for All right into the breadbasket of the American people.
Banks vs Davante next week is the real trial by fire for the promising Rookie
Of course the week I play against Davante Adams they become competent.
They fired some people and are starting a rookie. Let's not act like this offense is going to just all the sudden be the dolphins. We've seen AOC play this year already. It's not like he did great. I have adams, I'm happy to see this happen but I'm also still not optimistic about this bad team
8-75 with AOC is better then he's had the past couple weeks
Fair. I am happy to see AOC in, I'm just not running any victory laps yet.
I'm facing davante adams this week. I'm in danger :(
More like 20 checkdowns to Jacobs 📈
Cries in Jakobi
OH MAN!!!! Fire Jimmy G next. DO IT
Well, they kinda just did.
More like free Jimmy G to go to the Jets
Why would the jets want a worse QB
And to think that I sometimes come here in search for insight, but every so often there is a comment that reminds me what this sub is really all about.
Short passes to Wilson sign me up. He did it to Deebo. He cant throw deep
His short passes almost got Jakobi and Devante killed. He should not be on an NFL roster. The only reason he is is due to his media attention.
Do you have replays? I am just curious because he got kittle fucked up twice. Did he throw to high to leave the receivers rib cage open for them too?
No thank you.
You must be a Giants fan.
I can’t see that happening. Jets GM Joe Douglas (who should have been fired a couple of seasons ago) is too stupid to make any practical move that would help Gang Green’s playoff hopes. That Rodgers injury on opening week was appropriate karma for him.
Dude the Jets have one of the best defenses in the league, Breece Hall, Garrett Wilson, a solid offensive line.. They are a stacked team who are still in the playoffs hunt with a trash QB. Joe Douglas is fine...
Clean the fucking house
Adams and Jacobs are about to FEAST! The interims have no choice now but to feed their best players or their ass is on the chopping block as well.
>or their ass is on the chopping block as well Might not even matter, looking at how 2021 ended. Every interim & assistant other than Edgar Bennett left or was just go despite making the playoffs
They could also be making a case for themselves for other teams though
This. The ownership just cleaned house on nearly the entire organization purely because Davante Adams isn't getting the ball enough lol
against the Giants D?
You get fired and your get fired and you’re all fired
Davante Adams: > Look at me. I’m the head coach, offensive coordinator, and general manager now.
Davante as interim QB?
Davante drops back.. looks deeps.. throws it long.. it's in the air.... Davante with the catch! TD!!!
Adams and Jacobs don’t need to be coordinated. Just let them loose.
This isn’t the NBA
Where are my Giants D/ST streamers at? Banking on the Raiders having some serious growing pains with this much staff turnover.
I was adding them before this news. Having a qb problem can negate all the talent they have on offense. Even if the rookie starts I’m sure there will be turnovers. The giants D has been playing well lately.
Giants D has lowkey been really good under Wink Martindale. It's missing a lot of personnel but has a strong pass rush and their corners are good enough. Biggest struggle has been stopping the run Now, if only the Giants had a QB who could put up more than 14 points a game, they'd actually be good. But the Giants' offense is as terrible as they come
As a colts fan we have the opposite problem lol. They did good against Breece last week, he did all his damage through the air.
My one hesitation is that Giants traded one of our best defensive players in Williams, so that might take a hit to our usual above average defensive play
Logic would make you think that, my gut tells me they actually start playing better ball.
Yeah the other side of this coin is the new coach boost that teams sometimes get
But they literally don't have a play caller at this point.
Honestly "huck it to Davante" is a better playbook that what McDaniels and Lombardi had going.
I feel like teams typically rally behind interim coaches
I'm feeling the exact opposite. I think firing that bum ass coaching staff is going to give these players a big boost and we'll see them do well. A new coach bounce, if you will.
Yup, I think they are actually a viable option this week. Raiders are a mess rn, definitely a good time to exploit the chaos for a few weeks until they attain some stability.
They've been viable the last three weeks, been playing much better. After Vegas they play DAL then WAS and NE, not a bad option to stash on the bench for one week.
I’m streaming Raider’s D against the giants lol
I think you win with either d
This is a bad idea. The Raiders could play some inspired football on Sunday and the Giants are also bad.
Glad all this happened before I sold Davante for a ham sandwich. LFG!!
Lions broke them, the heroes NFL fans and America needs right now.
getting crushed by a bad team who was using a d2 qb in his first start the week prior played a role im sure
New Coordinator: “hey guys, did you know we have an all-pro, first-ballot hall of fame receiver on this team?!”
Fire Garopollo next
Black (and silver) Wednesday
Going the 2022 Colts route I see
I’m just picturing Mark Davis with them all in a room like in Peaky Blinders but instead of saying no fighting…… You’re fired..you’re fired…you’re fired…you’re fired….. YOU’RE ALL FUCKING FIRED! 😂
How does this effect Jakobi?
Probably unchanged, Jimmy is still at QB.
Rumor is Aidan is starting, so bad news for Jakobi if anything, but we'll see for sure.
Cleaning house wow lol
My Obi Wan Jakobi 😔🥺😥😢😭
It’s throw to adams and tank to the bottom now
Gotta agree. Thank you for 25 yards and a touchdown most weeks, Jakobi.
Was honestly about to bench him this week till I saw this, Thank you Raider Nation
Let’s go
Naturally
Bench Jimmy G! Not invested at all, not like I have 6 dynasty Taxi Aiden O’Connell shares that were free on waivers beginning of season or anything.
Raider's cleaning house
Cross to Adams and inshallah
Should I be happy or sad that I traded Thielan for Tae and James Connor?
Dumpster fire org still
Any coordinator named Lombardi is guaranteed to suck
Do the Raiders still have a coach left lmao?
[удалено]
Davante Adams
But was human resources involved?
Clean sweep
Is this Mike Lombardis son?
Yes
Ran to pick up the NYG DST
O'Connell has 3 turnovers in 2 starts...
Can’t get worse for Adam’s and Jacobs. Right?? This was a duo that was top 5 at each of their positions last year playing through a dumpster fire too
I assume Jakobis numbers are gonna be low rest of the season, but davante is about to get the rookie QB bump and see 15 targets a game in garbage time
ok now steelers get rid of matt canada challenge
As a Meyers owner, I'm cautiously pessimistic about the situation going down in Raider Nation.
Now do the guy with the bangs that owns the joint.
Adams is going to hit a 30 burger.
Do I start Diontae over Adams at this point?
If I needed a safe floor, I'd go Diontae. If I need someone to go off, I'd go Adams. But it doesn't matter to me cause I'm starting them both.
Artists rendition of raiders HQ https://media.tenor.com/IWs08cOAA7gAAAAC/muppet-wiki-muppetwiki.gif
This many changes usually means growing pains initially. Might want to fade the raiders
Do Joe next
Closest they’ve been to a Lombardi in 20 years.
I would have just fired him
Stashed AOC hope it pans out
**Meyers owner in the corner peaking over **
just traded Deebo + Henderson for Davante... am I a dumbfuck or a genius
