26 points in the 4th quarter the last two games. Both games we had big leads. I'm not a fan of prevent even when played well. By played well I mean keep everything in front of you and give up small gains to keep the clock running. We play a prevent where we let them drive the field on 3 or 4 plays and give up 15 and 20 yard gains. I get that we have injuries but this is still the NFL and even back ups should be able to play a well coached prevent. I'm actually more worried it's the coaching than the injuries.

170 from our rb's no less ..............

I would agree but would add we should at least try to run. So many games we have one or two carries in an entire half (almost the whole first half in this game). Working well or not working well the rbs should get more carries.

Run game is what many have thought ............. just hand the ball off more. On defense our prevent is scary bad ............... like a hot knife through butter bad.

Every completion is over 10 yards and we know they are throwing every down. The jury is in and they have declared we have the worst prevent D in the NFL.

Six field goals is six drives that didn't end in an interception or a fumble and we got points. It's still a step forward from the last 3 weeks.

So when Cleveland gets the ball back how about we don't give up a bunch of chunk plays and try to look like just because we don't have our starters we still know how to play defense.

Up this many points passing should not be so GD easy for them. What the hell.

SOB ............. how are guys getting 27 yard catches at this point?

Limit the gains, make takles, keep the clock moving .....................

I'm with you. Run the ball and play defense. We've scored almost 30 points and Josh has less than 30 passes.

12 minutes to 6:45 ................. eat the clock, score points, get the W. Love it.

Is it too late for us to turn Bass into the MVP?

Killing the clock, scoring points, defense is getting ready to go whoop some azz.

Who else is a fan of no drama run the ball with a lead and play defense football? I love it when Josh throws all over the field but I also love taking a lead and just grinding the ball down their throats. Just eat that clock.

Defense just got a nice breather and hopefully now they are ready to chase Brissett.

I like Singletary and love to see us run with him but I'll admit it's possible we could really have something with Cook. Again run either of them. Just run more but Cook might be the extra gear back we have been looking for.

It''s not like everyone in the world wasn't saying we should run more weeks ago.

Just keep pounding the rock.

It would be interensting to see how many of our drives without a rush score TD's vs drives with running plays. We go to long without running the ball sometimes. The last couple of drives are great examples. Only thing stopping us when we mix it up are penalties.

nevermind

Run the ball and play defense. Let Josh earn his paycheck on 3rd down if we have to throw.

So the refs do know what a face mask penalty is!

It's almost like (minus the penalties) we could just run the ball and make a few critical throws and win this game. Crazy. Run the ball and play defense. Save throwing it every play for when you need to.

I hope they don't wait until the last 2 minutes of the second half to get the rb's more than 2 or 3 carries.
