MadBuffaloDisease Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Wasn't it 24-17 at the half? I haven't watched the tape yet but thought I saw that score.Then again I'm a functional idiot so it probably wasn't. It was 24-17 before the 2nd fumble. http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/playbyplay/N...0060818_CIN@BUF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sen. John Blutarsky Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 we can't be throwing a mental-error pick every game run back for a TD. 750222[/snapback] Funny thing about that pick...plays like that now when they don't count might reduce their frequency in the real season. Evans and JP absolutley abused Ratliff on the TD throw. If JP and WRs can hook up a few more times on hitch-and-go routes DBs will stop jumping the hitch. They jump it now with abandon because we haven't consistently shown the ability to beat them for it. The caveat is blocking, we need to be able to block well enough to ALLOW Evans time to get deep otherwise all the DBs start jumping routes again.

I dont think this pick is that big of a deal because DB's who sit there trying to jump routes are going to get burned deep by JP....and they know it...
