Yeah, this is where McD is starting to lose me. I’ve always liked him, as he’s one of the better coaches, but he doesn’t make adjustments well. Cincy has moved the ball at will for over five quarters of football against us, and he’s had plenty of time to scheme against it.

All these draft choices on D, yet no one can generate pressure without a called blitz.

McD has been too aggressive at times, but didn’t love the soft third down defensive there.

I don’t expect anything from the defense tonight. This is the type of game where Allen earns his pay. He’ll need a huge game imo.

Was hoping to see the offense take the field first. I wanted to set the tone.

I don’t care about Burrow or our defense much. The Bengals have good wideouts against our questionable corners. I just want to see Josh take control of the victory. That’s the only way we get far anyway.

Another DeVito appearance would go down as an epic front office failure imo. Are they really down to a QB they don’t allow to pass down field?

I’ve been thinking the same all day, but a random feeling came over me that old prime time Josh Allen is coming out tonight. I suddenly have a good feeling about this one, but your take is quite reasonable as well.

Great point, then it’s just the question if that QB produces quickly enough to save Daboll’s job. My greatest worry with the Giants would be the team around the QB. They need a lot of new players to support a QB, there isn’t much too work with for a young QB.

A loss to the Raiders would be brutal for the Giants. I don’t see how Daboll’s coaching career in NY can climb out of this hole, unless a QB magically falls into his lap next season.

That’s what made me nervous in that area. Times when Giants games went head to head with Bills games. They used to almost always pick the Giants game, but that seems to have gotten better. I think the Syracuse area picked up more Bills fans with their recent success. The 00’s were full of bandwagon Giants fans in CNY.

Kind of forgot Reich wasn’t with the Colts when his name was mentioned 😂

Fair, I had Irsay mixed up with Tepper, and Reich as coach of the Panthers. The Colts picked Richardson. I can’t keep the random assortment of 2023 QB’s straight.

He does, I was commenting on someone mentioning the Colts owner forcing the Bryce Young pick. Hindsight is obviously 20/20, but Irsay is a meddling owner.

Jones, Snyder, and Davis get so much publicity, I think people forget how destructive Irsay is to the Colts organization

I learned that bad Giants games beating out better matchups were the norm while growing up in that area.

I think we’re better than Miami, but they aren’t garbage, they just aren’t at KC’s level. Sadly, I don’t think anyone is.

I want the Big Ten to be legitimate, and spent years trying to claim the SEC to be overrated, but I don’t trust any of these Big Ten teams. Whenever I watch other college football teams, I can’t help but to believe these Big Ten powerhouses are vastly overrated. The offensive side of the ball in the Big Ten is akin to watching paint dry. I’m thinking in your chaos scenario, we might see a one loss Big Ten team excluded from the playoffs, and it’s the correct call for a more entertaining playoff.

I don’t understand why Chiefs fans would hate Allen. I was never a Brady fan for many reasons, but I always enjoyed watching great QB play. It seems like it should be a fun competitive thing more than dislike. They’ve won titles, not sure why Allen would bother them, but that’s fandom for you.

Definitely a Wizard of Oz type moment.

Crosby impresses every time I watch these Raiders, not much else does on that team.

Terrible uniform, and the Lion on the helmet has his mouth open, but has no teeth.

Wimpy looking Lion on the those helmets.

I feel the same about rust belt teams with the exception of Pittsburgh. They’ve had too much success, and attracted a nationwide fanbase that can obnoxious. My grandparents were Steelers fans, so I have slight soft spot for them, but I can’t really “like” them.

The concussion protocol is disgusting. It seems like it was only created to give the allusion that someone cares. I had more respect for the old days when they blatantly didn’t care, at least it wasn’t a lie. I’ve seen way too many players looking a bit out of it after going to the tent, and then we had the whole Tua situation last season.
