K-9

Is he regular, washed up veteran bad? Or worse than regular, washed up veteran bad?

Regular rookie bad. Never knew there was such a grade level of poor performance. Was he bad? Rookie bad? Regular rookie bad? Worse than regular rookie bad?

Maybe it’s because he’s like Zoolander; he just can’t turn the other way.

I disagree that Allen was “ rattled beyond recovery” as I got more of a sense that he was trying to make something happen rather than his nerves getting the best of him. Pettine kicked his ass, pure and simple, imo. Your point about making a change is understandable, but there is also a benefit to having your young QB play adversity and getting reps, regardless. I’d like to share your optimism about Peterman, but I just can’t. Imo, it would have been far worse and we would truly have seen a QB get rattled beyond recovery as we’ve seen from him already. I think the only time we will see Peterman is if Allen gets hurt.

The tape never lies.

All good points and I am certainly not putting it ALL on Daboll, but it starts with him and he failed to solve Pettine all afternoon; just had no answer schematically. Add in overmatched, inexperienced, and unskilled players, and I’m not surprised at the outcome.

I agree Frazier got outcoached, too. IMO, Daboll was even worse, though.

All I know is, when Allen looked like he hurt his right hand, I preferred he played left handed rather than have Peterman come in. Tough game for the kid, as it was for most everyone today. Daboll layed an egg big time. There will be games like this for young QBs, especially when they don’t have too many options out there. It’s over and it’s all about how he gets off the mat. On to the Titans.

Sack. Hey, it worked for us last week.

Or Ryan Lewis’s mother.

Character being forged.

Team building is never a linear process. No matter how much we want to try to convince ourselves that it is.

Funny how that works.

If three of the QBs make the HOF, then I'd say it's no better than equal to the best QB draft year ('83).

Yep. And it's not even a game and a half yet.

Barr chasing down another one.

You mean a brutal game and less than one quarter. He's got a ways to go to reach that two game mark.

Barr continues to impress

That sideways E is an H as in "Hartford."

Anthony Barr: the coach’s poster child for “see what you’re tackling.”

If they played in the Southern Hemisphere, their jerseys would flush in the opposite direction.

One of the best logos ever designed.

I look forward to the candlestick maker era.

I’m less worried about Allen’s recognition than I am about our receivers’ ability read their hots.

Tyrod Taylor: QB mentor extraordinaire. Do not undervalue the QB mentor. The mere threat of Taylor leaving might be enough to send Baker Mayfield into uncontrollable fits of despair. If anyone wants to make a deal for Taylor, they will have to pay the Mayfield comfort price.
