I saw we signed Josh Norman. perhaps it is time to pick up the landline and give Lee Smith a call too.

pretty sure TJ didn’t need surgery though on his pec.

surgery for a torn Pec seems like a season ender.

To be fair to Elam, the guy hasn’t had any in-game action, and was then left on an island 1-on-1 with Ridley (and without a lot of pressure from our D-line). Just a recipe for disaster.

ugh. You should see the stats of when Josh ran playaction under center yesterday. I can’t find them now, but saw them yesterday— it was something absurd, like 5 for 5, for 180 yards and a TD.

Perfect combo of scheme, playcalling, and personnel. it’s not like the bills and other teams haven’t tried similar stuff. Just usually can’t pull it off. For example, we tried to be an outside zone running teams for years, with zero success.

I have no doubt that they were jet lagged. But that really doesn’t fully explain the offense’s woes. Just really poor playcalling and easy drops derailed those first few drives. Maybe the penalties were caused by those guys dragging, but not even sure about that, since I think more of the penalties were on the D. I also thought the defense played with a ton of heart and energy, despite being ridiculously short-handed. So why did they have energy and the O didn’t?

By the way, they are really letting the chiefs mug Jefferson.

that play was seriously the game. 11-7 then. We complete that, and go up 14-11, and I am not sure we are looking back.

was thinking the same thing Re that Allen “interception.” That too was just total luck— bad luck. DB got his hand in there late basically after Diggs caught it.

just a joke. Should have been an interception.

don’t hold your breadth.

Hindsight is 20/20, but gotta admit that was a perfect onsides kick.

to your point, crazy to see these headlines that say Etienne had a monster game. I guess he did, but he was basically held to like 20 yards for 80% of this game. Maybe O needed better TOP to help them out.

crazy too they think that little sprint draw was going to work when it went for negative yards every time we tried it today. can’t understand how they aren’t scheming Kincaid to get open.

worried about the rush. They needed to open it up more earlier.

When we go to this short passing offense, it’s all about execution. Can’t have penalties or drops, or you get “off schedule.”

Defense played inspired with all the injuries. O scheme is what held them back. Needed to go down field all game. Nothing open short and in the run game.

Just dump downs.

Need a big stop here!

Dane is playing great. He is all around the ball too in run stops.

One good drive here, and we can shift this entire game. Gotta max protect, and take some shots.

This short handed defense is going to need to make a huge play.

Might be time to get under center and run play action more, since that seems to work every single time we do it.
