I feel great about the first half, aside from the Singletary fumble. Lets keep it rolling in the 2nd.

So it was the mustache all along!

Did he shave it?

I hope so.

I'd be shocked if we win today. I think we are too banged up.

Because Nolan probably actually watched the tape and didn't glance at a stat sheet. Bernard was abused.

Not sure what they were watching. Nolan is dead on.

I don't think it could be any worse.

Absolutely...it's nice to look for diggs, but man...he had Shakir for an easy 1st down at a critical point in the game.

He almost threw a pick throwing it right past him. If he hit Shakir, first down and more. Bad miss by Josh on that one.

Finally got a chance to review the game from yesterday with a clear head and the most blatant problem on defense was Bernard. He was attacked and abused by the Jets all day long in both the passing game and run game. He was frequently out of position, over running plays, losing containment and outright missing tackles. I understand he is a rookie, but my god. Milano is our best backer by far, pray he's back soon.

https://www.fantasypros.com/nfl/advanced-stats-rb.php He doesn't break tackles, he's stopped almost immediately 1v1, he's not slippery enough to win 1v1 coming through the line against safeties and backers and his vision is questionable. (he doesn't create or feel the flow of the line to use cut back lanes) He's a hard worker and well rounded as well as an outstanding teammate, but he isnt a feature back.

What the coaching staff needs to do is run the ball in those situations. The Jets did to us what we do to everyone. 4 man rush, 7 in pass protection, take away all big plays and blanket everyone. The real problem is we don't have a legit running back who can take the rock and an make them pay for having 7 deep. That would force them to move up and have respect for the run. Buffalo is one dimensional because of personnel not because of what the defense does. This is a copy cat league and this is the second week in a row we've been attacked like this. I expect to see the same thing from the Vikings next week until we have an answer.

There's not only the eye test but there is tons of advanced metrics out there that sum up what I've said. What kind of runner is Devon? In between the tackles? In open space? He does neither really well. He doesn't have enough agility and speed to make people miss and pay in space and he's a very small receiving target out of the back field. He can't overpower anyone when stood up. He has one of the lowest yards after contact of all starting running backs. Zero homerun speed. These are the exact reasons we keep drafting and trading running backs. I got no hate for Devon, I like him a lot, but it is what it is. He won't be here next year and you will start to see much more Cook usage moving forward.

It's the mustache

As much as I love Singletary he is just not big enough to power out the tough yards, nor slippery enough to make up for his lack of size. Moss was a dud, Hines is a veteran presence that's versatile and the jury is out on Cook. But there is nothing impressive about any of our current backs. My God do I wish we had Fred Jackson in his prime right now....this team would be over the top.

No

In the last two weeks, the common denominator of back to back sub par Allen performances, is the porn stache. It's bad juju and it must go.

I enjoy the majority of your posts here but come on man.

Watching this game has really shown me the evolution of our team. A few years ago we would have played it safe to get a field goal, just like the bears just did. Now we play to score tds and knife our opponents in the heart.

CMC and it's not even close for me. Adding another WR doesn't do anything but continue to make us 1 dimensional. CMC is a serious threat as a runner or receiver who would consistently create mismatches all over the field. We need a real threat in the RB spot, one teams have to respect and account for.

Yeah, he was terrible on Sunday.

"Im him.....he's him too"

This BS, nfl app literally cut off every user the entire 4th quarter. I'm pissed.
