Hello Mr scapegoat… Thank you for falling on the knife.

I am gonna take Jamison Crowder. I know he can play the role Beasley had. At some point I still have faith he’s going to be a clutch part of the offense. Defense I’ll roll with Edmunds and hope he doesn’t fall for all the misdirections.

He was smart to pick Jacksonville. He got paid. And he’s without a doubt their #1 option. And he gets to help Lawrence develop and have that bond like Diggs and Allen have. He’s got plenty of years to chase rings more than likely.

Lamar should be talked about as an MVP so far. He catches hate for only being a runner, and now he’s not only running but making all the throws as well.. What more would anyone want to see to have him in the conversation? Its early things can always change but he absolutely should be in the conversation and I wouldn’t be upset if people had him as the favorite so far.

I think that’s a little unrealistic. But I’m just a guy sitting on the couch drinking Pepsi 😂

Zero chance the league would ever allow that information to hit the public. They have teams of people working on damage control of this right now. They will squash this story with a quickness. And if Tua somehow escapes this at full health it’ll blow over even quicker.

I don’t see really how Miami would be held responsible. If an independent neurologist cleared him last week that’s who is on the hook here imo. I mean Miami could have held him out of practice or not played him tonight. But if he passed the protocol there’s not really any liability on their part. Ethics maybe should be questioned but can’t really punish them for that.

Of course he could. But there’s unwritten punishments for that. You lose respect from some teammates and possibly end up in the coaches doghouse. People think you’re soft. This season was supposed to be his breakout or at the very least his make or break season. I’m sure the pressure was on to be out there and perform. Not making excuses cause health should be prioritized but there’s a lot of pressure

There are certainly ways to make a statement. I think it’s a classy idea. Times have changed and bills mafia is more than breaking a few tables.

I think this will mostly be swept under the rug. It’ll last a news cycle or so. The league will review procedures and nothing will probably come of it. Hopefully Tua will recover and be ok. I still believe the only one possibly in trouble or scapegoated is whoever the independent neurologist was at the Bills game who cleared him to return. Their coach, while we can question his decision probably can’t face any actual discipline.

That was impressive

I have it on my iPad streaming to my living room tv and I had one buffer during halftime but it’s been quite good. My neighbor had issues in the second quarter but I think was fine after.

Cincy has zero testicular fortitude

This has been Cincy this year. No rhythm to anything. Can’t protect to get anyone deep, can’t really run well.. They’ll catch fire once they move into a 4 minute offense though, or burrow will get crushed repeatedly and turn it over.

I was just saying I could only imagine if it was Allen and mcd did that. I’d be calling for his firing and I respect mcd more than any coach in the league and not just cause he’s Buffalos coach.

That was my feeling last week. Tua coming back in the game wasn’t about the loss for me. They probably would have been better with teddy out there.

I don’t like seeing anyone hurt.. That’s really sad to see.

Jeez these guys are playing terrible

Is it bad I’m only really excited to see prime vision? I would enjoy a Miami stomping as well. I expect Cincy to blow them out I just can’t see miamis defense holding up on short rest. That of course means Cincy still has to play defense and not meltdown on the offensive line.

I caught a little heat in one of the other threads, but my opinion was it was more favorable the way things happened. They were basically in field goal range to win the game, they were just a little sloppy with the clock. The punt surely gives them a short field if they execute it. But now you gotta throw the touchdown and Allen threw some questionable passes in the 4th quarter. It’s just as likely he would have to force throws into the end zone and the odds are probably higher for a turnover than scoring the actual touchdown.

I agree. And even with a fully healthy Hyde and Poyer back there we’ve seen plenty of long 3rd down conversions over the years. There’s going to be growing pains anytime anyone new is worked in. The pass rush mostly covered up any possible mistakes the first couple weeks. Overall though as far as defense, the Miami game should be considered a success given the situation.

I didn’t think it was a catch. And I do generally always side with the team on most stuff. But challenges have always been a bit of an issue imo

I took at as the OP wants someone to start next to Poyer But the coaches may see it as they have 5 already with Neal and Lewis. But they also view those spots as special teams guys like Johnson and Hamlin were before the injuries. Not just replacing safeties, with Kumerow down and Hyde being hurt, that makes 2 extra special teams roles needing filled, and make it 3 if Poyer doesn’t play. I didn’t fact check but I doubt Hamlin and Johnson started and played special teams but I could be wrong. And rather we like it or not, we know for fact Mcdermott prioritizes special teams play.

Because Beane doesn’t panic after one game like some fans do. And he certainly isn’t checking PFF His job is to draft and sign players. Mcdermott develops them. Johnson finally hits the field and you think they’re gonna throw in the towel after one game? No, they’re going to sit him down in the film room and show where he can get better, then they’re gonna hit the practice field and throw those same looks at him and coach him up to not make the same mistakes. Draft and develop folks.. Get used to it cause that’s the name of the game once your quarterback gets his payday.
