Oh yeah . So the 5 teams mentioned held back now!?!? Do you really believe that?? When has Belicheck/Brady ever held back? When has Rodgers ever held back? Houston held back in a 3 point game too???? That statement that they held back is laughable....Oh and Watson was playing with a collapsed lung according to you lol, explains why we held em to 13, same team that put up 42 in a blowout this week. C'mon man, that's such a ridiculous statement

Exactly. I'd like to see a rookie obtained in the late rds or a rookie UDFA added, but Shady is a captain and literally does everything at a high level - Run, catch and block. He's still a top playmaker and can be highly effective with a competent offense. I love that they plan on keeping him. I believe we'll be contenders next year.

Lol. Ok . So you're just vthe type that refuses to give them the credit they deserve. We gave up 22 @GB and 18 vs NE , if you're going to bring up their QB situations,u have to bring up our even worse QB situation. Anybody with an ounce of football i.q knows the D played phenomenal in those 5 games.

When the offense goes 3 n out. Can't score or maintain drives, it's brutal for a defense to actually be successful. You left out the fantastic performances @Min , @GB , @Hou , vs Ten and Vs NE , where the D gave up an average of 15.5 ppg! Again , all with a historically bad O . Not too shabby.

It's already worked on defense. . This D has 3 starters from when McD took over and is a top 5 unit littered with talent. They can heavily focus on offense this off season through draft and/or FA , as well as add some pieces to the D if deemed necessary!

Very Well said!! We could be 5-3 with Taylor but it'd mean nothing except a lower draft pick. He's not winning a championship and not the answer for the long term

But we all expected to be a 4-5 win team. At least on here , I remember the majority of posters expecting Bufffalo to take a step back , mainly because the QB position. So then it happens and everyone is freaking out, Even calling for the firing of McBeane! Did they mess up the QB position? Yes. But it's ok , McBeane has said from day 1, this is going to take time and they are all about LONG TERM success. And they laid a phenomenal foundation on D, with the most dead money in the league , it's all about next year and beyond. They have a TON of resources to fix the O, get a suitable backup for Allen , and fix the WR group. They get a pass from me. Again , we all knew the 19-20 season is when we'd be legit contenders. They deserve and definitely will get that opportunity. I personally think McD is the real deal and just needs the appropriate talent. He's 11-13 but when you look at the talent level , most coaches, especially first year, would have a worse record. I just don't understand how fans expected a certain outcome and when it happens , they're calling for McBeanes head on a stake! Mind boggling really , it stinks we are essentially done at the halfway point but if you can't see that they have a clear vision and have built a fantastic core on defense and have 90 mil and solid draft capital to get the O on track . They should be set for long term success starting next year..

Yeah, they really hit a home run with this kid. He's such a gamer . It's crazy that Tre,Hyde,Poyer and Johnson will be together for at least the next 3.5 years. Imagine them with a competent O , playing with a lead and not on the field for majority of the game! Going to be a special unit

Wow. Helluva play by 24. Kid is the real deal.

They remind me of Buffalo in that they are extremely inconsistent. I'd be surprised if Trubisky goes off , before and after the 6 TD game , he has looked brutal at times. Chicago fans were calling for his head before that 6 TD game . He hasn't shown much progress since his rookie year. Their D is good , but not very good . Winnable game for sure, but I have absolutely no faith in our offense at the moment. Forget 20+ points, I'm not sure they can put up 10+ points..

His route running is crisper . He clearly has more confidence with the ball in the air. I said 3-4 weeks ago that Zay looks highly improved, he just wasn't getting touches, well no WR was getting touches for that matter. I think he can be a legit #2 WR and a nice piece on offense moving forward !

He is much improved over last year. He can be a legit #2

This defense must be demoralized. This was another Fantastic performance absolutely destroyed by their offense,again. Shame.

Ya. That sounds like The correct answerr

Because he's wearing a Pats jersey. How does a trained official not call p.i there?!?!?! Unreal

Good play calls tho. Why weren't they doing this earlier?

UHH

SPEED UP THE O

It's insane. Stuck in a Time Warp to early 90s?

Zay is a good WR.

Truly is.

Offense is just atrocious. They've wasted amazing defensive performances

Guys the positive - it all changes next year. We'll be legit contenders. Long term , NE will be our whipping boys. We have a great,young core. NE has a great, old core. Terrible drafting . We get rid of the dead cap , we'll be vastly improved and legit contenders

It's insane the snap differential is unbelievable

Zay looks much improved over last year. Noticed this since weeks ago, his route running and catching ability have vastly improved;!!
