Miami has so much team speed. They have arrived and they are legit. Gonna be tough bringing home a 4th straight AFC East title.

Daboll burning through a year's worth of goodwill in 2 games. Last year's lucky run was probably the worst thing that could happen to the Giants and Daboll.

Can you imagine how excruciating these losses would be for Chargers fans if they actually existed?

Staley sucks. Chargers are wasting a ton of talent with that guy coaching the team.

Bengals 0-2

This was a dominating win!!! Great way to open the home slate!!! Hope the fans at Highmark are having a blast.

Nice way to end the game. Kyle Allen time.

Seems like we're passing here just to feed Diggs

Whhhhyyyyyyy????

Our running backs look great today

Keep running the ball and get out with an easy victory. Celebrate.

Run the ball and take the three points

I agree. He is sooo damned good.

I don't ever want to hear about McDermott being too conservative ever again. I'd rather he be more conservative in certain instances.

Great plan from Dorsey. Great execution by the players. Now just stick with it!!!!!

Great first half response from Josh!!! One of his finest given the circumstances.

You're right, BW. That was pretty whack on my part. I'll own that. I don't know this young woman. She could be a wonderful, delightful person. Also, I'm probably just old and out of touch, since 90% of the Instagram pages I've seen make me cringe.

Check out Maddy's IG. She seems to be a pretty privileged and entitled young woman. I wouldn't be surprised if she gives off a certain vibe with the players off camera that they might not appreciate. And while the first part of her hot mic statement clearly seemed to be a joke in response to what came before it, she crossed the line by saying Diggs "treats everyone that way." Diggs has a right to be pissed, but for the sake of reducing drama and unneeded distractions, I wish he would have taken the adult route and addressed it with her face-to-face. It would have been easy enough to say, "Maddy, I heard what you said, and I didn't appreciate it. I try to treat people with respect, and I don't believe I've ever treated you this way." They could have had a conversation and both come out of it better for it. Then again, Glab is an idiot both for saying what she did and then for apologizing immediately on Twitter. Always do these things in person, not over some stupid social media platform that makes it look like you're just trying to save face with the public. Public retractions never work out for these folks in the end. It just forever memorializes their misdeeds. If work needs to be done, do it in private.

It would explain the insanity of hurdling for the sticks from 8 yards away

I love how these always sound like hostage statements. Lol

I'm deeply concerned like the rest of you. He hasn't been the same guy over the past 12 or so games. He lacks poise and just doesn't exhibit the same confidence, decisiveness or on field leadership. He's obviously struggling with the mental side of the game, but I believe his mechanics have backslid over the past year or so as well. Even when he was playing well early on last year, I saw things with the way he took his drops and set his base (or didn't) that concerned me. Not sure if the pressure of leading the franchise to the Super Bowl is too much for him or what, but I can easily see things unraveling for him this year if he doesn't get this turned around quick. I think Dorsey and McDermott need to really simplify things, dumb it down, and provide more conservative game plans for him over the next few weeks (similar to the Browns and 2nd Jets games last year). He needs to play a couple of clean games to help build his confidence.

He pretty much reached perfection in that playoff game against the Pats. He continually checked the ball down to his backs and tight ends, and that ended up loosening everything up on the back end for the big plays to Davis, Knox and Sanders later on. I thought the lightbulb had really gone on and I expected huge things from him going forward, which was validated in his performance the next week in KC. But he's gone away from that once Daboll left and it seems to be getting worse and worse the further we get away from that "peak" at the end of 2021.

I agree. It was a huge problem last year as well, but he mostly got away with it (except for the Jets and Minnesota games). He's always looking for the knockout blow too early when other elite QBs (Mahomes, Burrow, etc.) seem content to let the game unfold more naturally.

Harris should be the lead back. Murray the short yardage guy. And Cook the 3rd down guy. Seems pretty clear to me based on what I've seen from all three guys.

I thought the offensive line was fine given the opponent. Defenses are throwing something at Josh such that he can't get through his progressions and make the right read. This leads to him holding the ball and eventually bailing the pocket. Go back and watch the 2020 tape against Saleh's SF defense. Josh's mechanics and footwork were so much better then. He drops back, makes quick reads, and rifles the ball to his receivers. That guy is nowhere to be found now.
