Truer words haven’t been spoken. I’m so sick of this defense being completely overwhelmed in big games. I’ve become increasingly convinced you can’t win it all with this light in the a$$ reactive defense.

This. 1000 times. Samuel doesn’t look to have the juice left to be lining him up in the backfield and running gadget plays.

I thought Shakir, Kincaid, and Coleman looked good. What we were lacking more in this game was a hammer at RB. It’s clear that they don’t want Josh taking as many hits on designed runs early in the season, but we don’t currently have a RB who can move the pile against a physical defense like the Ravens. The 2nd and 3rd down runs were wasted plays last night and ended numerous drives.

Agreed. Talk about squandering all your goodwill in 1 idiotic moronic play call.

probably but Coleman was bullying the DB’s at that point in the game without some risky trick play that almost cost us the season.

Brady has been pretty good, but that play call almost erased everything good he’s done. If Allen gets hurt on that play, you just bought yourself a pink slip. I still can’t believe how dumb that play was. Travis Henry halfback pass bad.

stop with the dumba$$ gadget plays with Samuel in backfield. Josh is gonna get killed.

What a horrible product. 4 days clearly isn’t enough time for the majority of these teams to get physically and mentally prepared to play.

Cincy should never have let Mixon and Reader walk. Bengals want to be bullies and those 2 were huge reasons why they were tough.

When you have a QB that can’t move, these short yardage play calls aren’t easy. We are spoiled with Josh. Not sure what the play caller can do there. Extremely annoying that KC always makes the winning plays.

Why wait and throw away a game? Bass should be having weekly competitions in practice with free agent kickers. May the best man win.

Kicking is 90% mental. There’s no magic formula finding one. You gotta get lucky finding one who’s in the right mental state. Sticking with Bass at this point without kicking the tires on replacements is negligence. Bass will 100% cost us games this year.

Agreed. Cousins looked like he should be in a wheelchair for large chunk of the game, then slings it around like 1984 Dan Marino on the winning drive.

That’s not the point. Hurts threw a tailing fastball that was leading his receiver out of bounds short of the 1st down which is same result as a drop. The camera angle from the sideline showed it perfectly. Barkley is trying to turn it upfield while the ball is leading him to the sideline. That is not as easy a catch while you have to turn it upfield and stay in bounds as talking heads are making it out to be.

Barkley taking a lot of heat for the drop but that wasn’t a great pass. The nose of ball was tailing towards the sideline and Barkley had to to catch it and turn upfield. Ball was leading him to the sideline. Yes, he needs to catch that, but not sure he gets first down or stays in bounds if he does.

Kudos to Cousins. Got the ball down the field when he needed to on the last drive. Barkley blew the game with that drop on 3rd down.

These teams have no pass rushers

wow. game finally got exciting.

This is like watching a high school game. Maybe 4-5 passes that have travelled more than 10 yards past line of scrimmage.

Atlanta actually has a pretty solid team outside of their QB

He completely limits that offense. He can’t move and doesn’t have the arm strength to challenge the defense. Penix will be starting soon.

Neither of then can move but at least Rogers gets can still zip it around the field. Nit sure Cousins can throw the ball more than 30 yards.

don’t even need to play safeties against Cousins anymore. Cant get the ball downfield.

Whitehead on tampa then the jets now back at tampa. Love how he plays. Physical but not stupid. kind of a poor man’s rodney harrison. A winning player.

I’m not sure we could beat Carolina if Trubisky had to start. Green Bay beats a not awful Colts team with a mobile backup QB thrown to the curb by the Titans. A backup QB who can use his legs actually gives you a chance to win a few games when your starter is out.
