Ugh should have been a pick six.

Both teams have missed an open TD and a FG. Pretty even so far.

Breida can be a featured part of the offense next week. Titans practice squad RB is having a great game.

Keys against the Patriots: 1) Tackling, tackling, tackling. 2) Tackling, tackling, tackling. 3) Don't be afraid to kick field goals, and don't miss them. 4) No stupid penalties or turnovers. 5) Tackling, tackling, tackling.

The Patriots will get another win handed to them. But overall they really don't look that good. We SHOULD handle our business against them.

I mean I don't think it's a coincidence that the first RB screen we've called all year that had a valuable outcome was with Breida catching the pass. It wasn't just the blocking. He set up the blocks perfectly and accelerated through the window when it was there.

I'm rooting for the Titans, no doubt in my mind at all. But let's be realistic, they are rolling out a backup offense and their defense isn't good enough to compensate. I fully expect the Patriots to be leading the division when they roll into Buffalo next week.

Rather than trying to replace White for however long he'll be inactive or below his current level of play, the Bills should instead be looking to improve the offense to compensate for the defense's loss. White's role isn't going to be replaced that easily. But last year we had a below average defense carried to the AFCCG by an elite offense. That can happen again if resources are used properly. Next year I envision an elite offense with much improved pass protection, and White returning to his normal level of play in the back half of the season just in time to make a deep playoff run.

Other teams without an elite #1 CB are still in line to win a Super Bowl.

Also we don't exactly have a murderers row of WRs to face for the rest of the season. Obviously Tampa Bay sticks out but that's it. In the playoffs who knows. If we have to go against Tennessee and/or KC without Tre on the field it goes without saying that it's going to be a tough battle. Still I don't see us suddenly being the worst defense in the league or anything like that.

This doesn't mean the season is over, just that the margin for error is lower now. We still have an elite safety duo, a very good nickel, and a very capable CB in Levi Wallace. McDermott is a secondary guru. If anyone can figure this out he can.

He isn't arguably the best 3-tech of all time. That's fair.

Whelp that is the worst possible thing that could have happened outside of Allen getting injured. The offense needs to step up the rest of the year. We aren't going to have the best pass defense in the league anymore, no more room for error. Hopefully Tre is back and fully healthy by the start of next season.

That's interesting because you said the +7 line was a steal. What made you hedge?

Yep, McDermott sent him a well deserved message. But then he put him back on the field and he promptly scored a TD that Singletary and Moss couldn't dream of scoring. He needs to have a featured role in the offense from now on.

I still say no. Davis is perfect getting 3-4 deep targets or red zone targets per game. He is also a very good run blocker. As an every down route runner he is not consistent enough. I would love for him to be our #3 outside receiver for the next 4 years. That role fits his skill set.

This may force their hand in the draft. A CB on day 1 or 2 is all but guaranteed if he has indeed torn his ACL.

Every time Breida has been on the field for the past 3 weeks, the offense has moved the ball. I would say that is transforming the offense. Last week in particular our offense was stuck in a rut. We tried Breida for a drive in the 3rd quarter and suddenly we moved down the field. Then Moss came in and that drive stalled out. Even yesterday the drive to start the 3rd quarter we slammed Singletary into the middle of the o-line on two consecutive plays and only gained 3 yards total. Luckily Allen bailed them out on 3rd down but the difference when Breida on the field is clear. The difference isn't just his production, it's that defenses actually have to account for him. The offense has had no explosive skill players. Breida finally gives us that element. As others have mentioned he also gives us yards after catch ability on screens and check downs.

Nonsense. Yesterday Daboll proved that he finally figured out how to beat cover 2 with a poor o-line. Quick throws, run the ball and well-timed play action, screens to the speedy RB. The Saints defense is very good and we were able to move the ball consistently all night long. Pass protection is still a concern but Brown will be back soon.

What about Quinton Dunbar? He had a couple decent years with Washington and I'm pretty sure we had him in for a workout earlier this year.

Not on defense they didn't. The offense's performance tonight was legitimate. This is what we look like when we actually attempt to run the ball and put Breida on the field.

Allen Diggs Knox Breida Daboll Oliver Milano Probably the whole defense deserves one, no one else in particular really stood out.

@That's No Moon how much money did you lose on that sure bet?
