Great points. Dorsey also seemed to refuse to go to 12 or the Bobby Hart package yesterday, even after the Ravens had gashed them all day long. Like the Bills, the Bengals stay in base nickel even against heavy looks. Dorsey could have explored that all day, especially running at Hendrickson. The one time I remember them doing that, freaking Dawson Knox blew him up. Stubbornness is this staff's Achilles heal. From refusing to play younger, newer players over failing vets, to refusing to alter the game plan to take advantage of the other team's weaknesses.

When this thread came up last year I asked, what if McDermott is to Allen what Reeves was to Elway? Dan Reeves was very successful, had 8 winning seasons out of 11 as HC in Denver. Could never win the big game. Reeves fired his OC Mike Shannahan the year before he himself was sacked. The Broncos brought back Shannahan as HC the following season and would go on win two Super Bowls with Elway.

4th and 6 from the 16 and all of the recievers run to the endzone. It wasn't 4th and goal... What kind of play call was that?

Pederson called the plays. Frank was more like the QB coach.

The ball was a second late.

Missing Daquan is huge on this slippery field.

Half time snack to go with the orange slices.

The one positive is that the Bengals are a first half team. And the Bills are a second half team.

There was a point on his back where both of his hands were off the ball around Milano's arm. Couldn't have had posession.

And if you're going to bring everyone you can't cover 10 yards off. That's just giving up the first down. Thst's scared defense.

No more soft zone that let's them run wide open.

The D needs to stop playing zone unless they match coverage. If they all keep their eyes on the QB and let Burrow manipulate them they're going to keep triple covering a 5 yard out while letting their receivers streak uncovered down field.

Chase tapped him on the shoulder on the way passed him. The only way Chase wasn't scoring a TD at that point was if Edmunds followed.

Edmunds. He decided not to follow Chase down the seam ans instead chose to double team a 5 yard flat route. Leaving Chase alone with no one with 20 yards of him.

Kelce blocks and then runs delayed routes all the time. He can setup the guy he's blocking, push off and run to voids. Hard to do that with wr's.

Stars drive ratings in the playoffs more than markets.

Never underestimate the greed of the NFL! Lol....

Ratings, and ratings pay the bills.

Lawrence has to stop playing scared. They can still lean on ETN in the run game. But they have to drive for a TD soon.

KC called a what looked like a 30 sec TO. He went to the bench to get taped. And then just said f it and ran off the bench to go back in the game.

Ankle injury. He refused to come out at first, was limping while trying to hand the ball off. Then got sent to the locker room for testing. Questionable to return.

Their online is that good that an average QB can step in and succeed behind it.

The Jags are going to have to beat the refs today too.

He stopped his arm's forward motion but never started to tuck or even pull the ball back towards him. By the letter of the rule that's an incomplete pass.

If he can't move in the pocket, Jax is going to get home. And that's only going to hurt him more.
