Of course it's possible. It's most likely the biggest factor in the loss. They looked completely unprepared and exhausted. McD is a rookie head coach so he probably wasn't sure what he needed to do to make sure they were prepared for a short week game. I noticed this as well. They looked too focused on stripping the ball instead of tackling.

Actually, TT can’t get the ball out that fast. In fact i don’t think he is capable of getting the ball out with in 2 seconds, which most qb’s can do when its needed. Like on a slant play.

In the first half there were several plays he had more than enough time to get the ball off but didn’t. He SUCKS. Period. The o line isn’t helping but a lot of or issues are because everyone in the nfl know what TT is not, and thats a nfl level qb.

It’s very simple. He sucks because he is not a passing threat. Load the box and set the edge and this is the game you get from him. 6 sacks and he has no quck game.

Good god they are falling apart. When are they going to realize that TT is the problem with this offense?

Friday is going to be a real bi#ch for me. A late Thursday night and up at 5:30AM for work and I have to work late for a big cut-over for a project. Coffee, lots and lots of coffee tomorrow.

I agree, one game at a time. That said, realistically I would be happy with 3 -2 over the next five, but can also see a possible 4 and 1.

Have to say, I was not familiar with Kelvin, but looking at the numbers he looks to be a legit #1 if he can stay healthy. Did he miss all of 2015? Did not see any stats for that year.

Trade deadline is today (obviously). What do you think will happen with Boldin since no one seems interested? Think he might want to play for the Bills? Or will he stay retired. I am not saying I want him to play, just wondering what others think since we need a receiver.

Maybe senility has finally set in?

IDK what you are talking about! The Jags took Dareus's entire contract for that sixth rounder. That is a HUGE amount of money we are saving and we got the draft pick. a draft pick need i remind anyone he wasn't even worth. He barely showed up for games, was POS character guy, so yeah, I will gladly take the 6th for him.

For the most part none of these games are gimmes. The only one that comes close is the Colt game but I know there is no way McD will let this team look past anyone. The Jets game will be tough. It's an away game on a short week but I think we come out with a tight victory. The Jets have been playing everyone tough, especially lately. Imho the best case scenario assuming we get the W Thursday would be...... Saints - Win: They are playing well, but Buffalo's D is playing stout and its a home game against a Dome team. Chargers - Loss: We'll be due for a L and playing a west coast game where we typically do not fare well. KC - Loss: KC is a very good team, its an away game and I think they end up with the W in a close one. Patsies - Win: Not losing at home....period Colt - Win: McD has them ready for the "trap game" Dolphins - Win: Home game and they seem to be self distructing Patsies - Loss: Brady revenge game in Boston Dolphins - Win: Again, they seem to be self destructing 11 and 5, if we lose Thursday 10 - 6. But who knows....that's why they actually play the games.

This D is on FIRE!!!

Buffalo getting a lot of love right now on half time show today. Love it!

Gut wrenching! I have no words. My thought and prayers are with him and his family.

That's not just Facebook, it happens here all the time as well. Keyboard bravery.....one of the fastest growing social dilemmas there is. If you can't or won't say something to someones face, you shouldn't be typing it on the keyboard....at least imho. Missed that earlier in the thread. As an option i don't see an issue. I'm sore there are many who don't comment on posts just because they are to lazy to create an account. Giving FB as an option may increase membership. I know I came her for at least a few years to read articles and review forums before I registered as a member.

I would prefer not. Especially since anyone with an existing account would lose all their history wouldn't they. Using Facebook to log in would create a new account would it not? Or is there a way to link your Facebook to an existing account?

Milano certainly is earning some more playing time. Lorax is a bit on the small side for this but I could see him being a edge rusher on obvious passing downs rather than a LB that has to drop into coverage. He tends to draw dumb penalties at the wrong time of the game to hurt the team as well which to me is reason enough to reduce his playing time.

Tate is solid as a punt returner but rarely plays as a WR. Homes has been in at WR far more than Tate. Streater has good hands and could potentially fill in as the punt or kickoff return guy and still play a fairly significant role as a WR. Personally, if anyone is going I think it will be Holmes. What concerns me is Clay's status if they are looking at Croom. Yeah, maybe he is fine and want to upgrade from Lee, but something nagging at me says Clay's injury may take longer to heal than they thought.

Now i know you have been around long enough to know that what a QB's worth has nothing to do with how much he gets paid. Elite QB's are making 25 Million + a year and your so - so to pretty good QB's are making around 14 - 20 million a year. Are they worth that much, I don't think so, but they are just good enough to manage games and not screw up to big so that's what there getting paid.

Thank Ice! Hopefully you guys can pull things together well during your Bye week and gets some No Rodgers friendly game plans put together. Pulling for you guys!

I don't think he needs to lighten up per say. He just needs to learn to move on. That TD he "gave up" was an amazing throw and an even more amazing catch. His coverage was pretty tight. Any tighter they would have probably flagged him. I appreciate his high expectations of himself and he takes what he does seriously and with pride. They got the TD..... be po'ed for that moment but move on. He keeps it up, he'll end up getting inside his own head space and screwing himself up and playing poorly.

They have been getting pressure. It's just not translating into sacks. It's one of the reasons why we have the 2nd highest rating in defense for QBR, somewhere around 66 and its why the good teams haven't been eating us alive. Its also the reason why our secondary has looked for the most part pretty good. Things didn't look all that good yesterday, especially in the second half, but by that time EJ Gaines was out again. He is the thread that holds it all together in the secondary for us. without him we are in real trouble. What is really frustrating me is during the game yesterday, there was several occasions where our best defensive players were on the sideline.....Hughes, K Williams and Dareus were together on the sideline. You want to rotate guys that's fine, but McD is going ex-stream with it and its effecting the defensive rhythm.

I'm pretty sure I read that on a fortune cookie once. I was at the game. As soon as Tampa got the go ahead TD i turned to my Cuz and said "there is no way TT can be expected to get a TD to tie the game up". We both though he would go 3 and out. Glad we were wrong. There is no way you can plausibly release him at the end of the year. He eats up way to much salary cap space. If he is not traded, Which I doubt anyone wants him with his current contract; he is either on this team (for better or worse) or they restructure his contract to be more cap friendly and see how he does next year or then trade him to another team with a more friendly contract.

indeed! Levy started as GM in 06.
