[Billznut]

Well guaranteed to have a few high snaps in shotgun from Van Routen incoming.

There are literally 8 other games playing in the same conditions today, if not worse.  Cincy playing in the same conditions and not having any disadvantages.  

Nah… Look at the weather in Foxboro.  
 

It’s ten degrees warmer and 14 mph wind compared to 24 mph winds in Chicago.

Just about every team does…..watch other games besides ours. We’re 1 scoring drive away from taking the lead. People act as if we’re hopeless here.

 

This time of year, teams poised to be a 1 seed typically roll over inferior teams.  See Bengals and KC.  The Bills play these types of game a lot.  Agree that we are one score away from the lead, but they really need to stop making games so hard for themselves.  Penalties, special teams gaffes, turnover, etc.  You expect an 11-3 team playing a 3-11 team to come out buttoned up and looking crisp.

Did Cook take the starting job from Singletary? Looks like he is getting more of the snaps.

 

He's definitely the hot hand today. Love his burst.

Perhaps if we field some short ones and get good field position that stops.

Apparently nobody watched the KC, Philly and Dallas games last week.

What happened?

I’ve been as entertained by watching my wife wrap presents as I have by this first half 

[JimBob2232]

were not as dominate as we were the first few weeks.  That's what people expect.  We're still just as good (if not better) than any other team in the league.  That's what's hard to mentally wrap your head around.  We're one of the best teams in the NFL - yet we look like a AAC team compared to those first few weeks of 2022.

Allen running isn't an offense. 

 

Sure it is. If teams want to drop everyone way back into coverage and leave the middle of the field wide open, Allen running for chunk yardage is the right read.

That pass to cook is there every play.

Exactly...check down on every play...we'll get 1st downs....stop the hero ball in this wind.

[Freddie's Dead]

Rick Bates to the locker room, questionable to return with a knee.

Lol... What a heat wave

[Nephilim17]

Cook has arrived. Perfect timing, a few games before the playoffs.

[Best Williams Available]

It shouldn’t be this hard to get Diggs involved.

[TheBrownBear]

Watching Bengals game and they never run the ball either.  Its just the way of the NFL if you have a franchise QB.

I understand why Diggs us upset but I'm getting sick and tired of seeing him complaining.

hey, it worked against Miami in the 2nd half!

 

After his little tirade came the TD drive, 2-pt conversion to tie it, and then the masterful game-winning drive

[HurlyBurly51]

nice cut 28

[Einstein]

Cook is significantly better than Singletary at cutbacks.

[Scott7975]

LFG COOK!!!

Looked like a hold just at the handoff against Bills. Glad it wasn’t called.
