I understand why McDermott likes to do this. Hopeful of making an early statement and double dipping at the end of the half and start of 3rd. BUT, this year's D is so bad, so putrid, it's simply a poor decision now. They tend to allow a long td drive. Gives the other team and their crowd hope, puts immediate pressure on the O and just gives a bad vibe to start the games. At this point if we win the toss I think we should take the ball!

MVP level? How he plays, I'd say 3-4 MAX barring a major injury. So far this year he already appears to have a lost a step, but that could be temporary.

Frankly I would have punted. But McDermott doesn't trust the D. Telling.

NO WAY BABICH survives this right? RIGHT????

McDermott having to tell Cole where to line up. Seriously?????

2 penalties led to 14 points. D is totally disorganized. If they lose tonight and they don't move on Babich during bye this season is done

This has been said before but yes they really need to Cook more involved in the passing game. He drops some, he also is your most dangerous player with the ball in his hands other than Josh. Swings, wheel routes, screens...

That's probably game. Lions killed themselves in first half. They got too cute the last two plays on their first drive of the game, ahd the drop by Aman on 4th down. Flipped the field and the mo.

Fields is literally painful to watch.

WTF WAS THAT??? Why did he let the clock run out???? What am I missing???

I always wonder about this, it was McDermott that brought in Beane not the other way around. So would Beane even ever attempt to fire McDermott? Does he even HAVE that power? It's a weird situation.

I've been saying it since week 1. I HAVE SEEN ENOUGH. If we lose Monday night and McDermott doesn't make changes during the bye, at the very least getting involved or firing Babich, then it's going to be yet another lost year of Josh's prime.

Just like first half last week. Brutal

Showcasing for trade?

Huh? He was a turnstile in PP, especially in the first half.

Man Ed looks like he's not close. Gotta be a bad high ankle sprain alright. I know one thing, if they think they can play run D against the Pat's like they have the last few weeks? Well, Josh will need to put up 35.

Defense is WORSE than last year. MUCH worse. HOW???? Don't say injuries either. They SUCKED week one.

Now let's see if the D can hold up a quarter and a half. I don't trust them ONE BIT so far this year and certainly today

Gotta have Hawes go to right side and help Van Denmark out this half. He's a rag doll thus far.

Get Trey out of there. FFS this is simply embarrassing

Fundamentals soooo bad on D. Babich has to either go or Mcd take over calls. IVE SEEN ENOUGH

Oh I don't disagree, I'm just wondering what the injury actually is, is it a high ankle sprain? Has that been confirmed? If so that can linger on and off the whole season. Hopefully not.

Starting to worry about Ed. What the heck actually happened to him? After the best game of his life! Is it the dreaded high ankle sprain. Really expected him back by now.

Third down defense has entered the chat....

We have Josh Allen. We don't attempt to throw downfield. REALLY????
