I think the credit should go to his position coach Donnie Henderson!!

+1. We definitely missed his ability to stop the run.

I was definitely upset that he did not ice the kicker in OT. 46 yards is not a gimme and you want that kicker to kick that distance back-to-back. Completely agree...In fact the injury to Sanchez came as a blessing in disguise as otherwise this would have been a non-stop drama for the NY Jets.

When Stevie comes back they should put him in the slot and put Woods and Goodwin on the Edge...And with TJ having a better game, our WR suddenly appears not too bad. If that damn Defense (I know they were on the field for 43 minutes) can hold teams under 14-18 points, this team has a good shot at winning most of these games. I think it is a bit of both... Whitner and Poz were average players that did not warrant the money they got in the FA market.

Why do you assume Eli Manning is done...The Giants have no running game and no receivers.

I still don't understand why he did not ice the kicker on the game winner. A 46 yarder is not a gimme and we could have forced the kicker to try it twice by calling the timeout at the time of the kick. bah....It is more about lack of execution by these players. I guess a one-handed Glimore is better than any of the scrubs we have!!

To be fair to the offense, they were pinned deep in their own territory/ The chance of them moving the sticks was pretty low.

But our defense has also been on the field for 43 minutes of the regulation time. The Bengals OL and DL played just better than ours. That was the difference in the game.

The defense gave up too many big plays...You let the opponent drive 99 yards to a TD in your own backyard....and the Offense had no consistency....Stuck in 3rd and long for too long....

Why didn't they ice the kicker.....Make him kick the same distance twice....

This D is going to set some Dubious records today!!

Their OL is man handling our Defense.

Because the rules are clear about. Agreed that FJ did it in the heat of the moment...But as a senior player he has to know the rules.. He put his team at a disadvantage.

Good Luck to Thadeus today. Hopefully, the Defense and ST will help him out and get the team their 3rd win.

You can think that way...that is fine....He caused the team a penalty and put it in a whole at a 1st and 20......

Good teams don't do that.

Your fantasy team must really suck!! Agreed. He was leading the NFL in rushing prior to the injury.

Pettine definitely belongs to the 2nd category. I think Wade Phillips is more of the first type. He really needs a good/great NT to make his scheme work. His scheme worked when he had Ted Washington and Pat Williams, but does not have the same success in Houston (or Dallas prior to that). Marv was a head coach and really doesn't have a specific philosophy other than being a good motivator.

+1. Coach Marrone has always said that the best player gets to play. If Thad goes 4-2 in the next six weeks, he has earned it.

They would have to hold this Bengals defense to under 12-14 points for this anemic offense to score and win. I just don't see this offense capable of scoring 20+ points without EJ under Center.

How is that possible. He is signed to a 3 year contract with the Bills. The Bills could have kept him on the 53-man roster and not played him at all considering how well Carpenter has been kicking.

What is wrong with this Defensive Line....Dareus, Kyle, Branch have been a force at the point of attack along with Mario... OL- Yes....DL --- No. OL and TE are the biggest needs for this team followed by another MLB.

I guess the pre-season play gave them the confidence. Again, evaluating Tuel based on his 4th QTR outing against a charged up Cleveland is simply incorrect.

That is simply silly. Once Marrone drafted a QB in the 1st round, why would he draft another one in the next three rounds, when he had SO MANY holes to fill. If Nassib was available in Rd7, I could have seen Marrone take a flier on him. However, it still would have caused a QB controversy. The Bills did the right thing in not picking Naasib once they picked Manuel instead of him.

It simply means that the Patriots took less risk than they normally do and yes that could be a reason why they lost.
