Mitchell is an oxygen thief.

He has talent. That play would have been in every highlight reel for the week of top ten plays.

Now, however, it will still be in the highligh reel but not in a good way.

One player. 14 points off the board. Loss.

Anyone in the real world would be demoted, at minimum.

JT was at the time, and still is, one of the best players in the league at his position. Mitchell is a nobody.

I’d say that’s a pretty significant difference.

Give the kid a break.

Whether you're the best player in the league or a nobody, a bonehead play is a bonehead play. Both cost us a win, IMO. JT wanted nothing more after that play than to play his ass off and erase that memory. I'd like to see Mitchell do the same. And, I believe he will.

Whoever updated that banner is a villain.

That is hilarious though, admittedly.

I would love to see CIG demand that he get cut, I don't think it will happen though. During the game, I at least would have benched him.

He's a grown man acting like a child. He should sit down and think about what he would rather do: showboat in the end zone, or keep making the $1.8M a year his employer is paying him.

I’m as unhappy with the muffed touchdown as anyone, but Mitchell’s penalty probably doesn’t cost us a TD. I’ve looked at the replay half a dozen times, and it looks to me as though Williams, the Ram’s defender, had pretty much diagnosed the run and would have in a position to impact the play if Mitchell hadn’t taken him out.

In a perfect world, Mitchell would have simply blocked his man. Same result, no flag. But, blocking doesn’t seem to be Mitchell’s forte. Of course, I have a hard time singling out AD for lacking those skills. There didn’t seem to be a single receiver on the field who could block a grandmother in a walker. At least three screens got blown up because three guys couldn’t manage to block a single defender and the play got blown up before it ever picked up steam.

After a game like this, it might be natural to look for scapegoats, and I’ll admit that AD’s head would look pretty good served up on a platter. But, you don’t build good teams by firing guys who make mistakes. They did that with Isaiah Rogers, who might not have shut down Nacua, but would surely have brought more to the field than the Colts Cornerback whose name I shall not speak.

One huge, and I mean huge, difference in JTs fumble and Mitchells is the way the team reacted to them. After JT fumbled the team totally fell apart. After JTs fumble we were in a position to win up until the end. It feels like this is a different animal of a team than we have had before

The fumble ok I was actually willing to give him a pass but to follow it up by pouting and whining on the field away from the huddle and then get a stupid holding penalty at a key moment tells me he has no control. Once he crashes out mentally there’s nobody on the sidelines or on this planet that can talk the dude back to reality that’s the worst kind of player to have
