In the first quarter?

Is the game just too complicated for some people to do anything but blame the QB? Any criticism of the defense with another game with 0 sacks??? Couldn't stop the Bengals at any time they needed too? No , just blame the QB, no thinking required.

We scored on the first drive, defense didn't stop bengals at all. Did you even watch?

It seems everyone is missing the fact that our defense blows and we lose the field position battle each game. A decent defense would help. Our offense isn't the problem.

sometimes players may force the issue because the teams needs them. This is not an easy game to play and sometimes you need to gut it out and keep your fingers crossed at the same time. It all comes down the fact that they really need to win this game. The most important game is always the one next on the schedule.

I hope McCoy could last at least of few ' innings ' Sunday.

just one of those things that people say without thinking about what their saying. Something you might see on Seinfeld.

but you're right. Why not say snap count, because that's what it is.

Does this mean he never should play this season? Why 3 weeks, why not 4 just to be sure , or 5 to be really really sure....

It probably will be, but we need him now. We got lucky last week without him. If they are unreliable, when would you ever know a good time for him to play? He says he's good enough to play, that's good enough for me.

because this is a critical game.

Not bad, but nothing terribly special either. Karlos Williams will do better, even after missing a couple games and be a lot cheaper.

it seems like so many fans are ultra conservative when it comes to injuries. Always reading,' rest him a few more weeks, even if cleared to play....' , I'm sorry, but if they are cleared to play , get them out there. It's not like you can make up too many losses. We already have 2 losses at home, can't afford to lose anymore. If Tyrod, McCoy are healthy enough to play, they need to be out there.

So coaches can't help during the season? Why would you expect the assistant to be as strong as the coach? Doesn't make much sense.

Our fans are way overrated, by themselves , of course.

again, if you think the stats favor your argument , come up with them, don't throw that on everyone else here. It's your thread. Example: Hey , I researched and found out that there have only been 3 kickoff offsides penalties called since 2011, I am a bit suspicious about the call on the Bills today, I wonder if the refs are looking for penalties because of our reputation, as these obviously are not called very often. See?

how about you tell us how often it's been called.

this is a silly discussion, but I'll hang around a bit. So you can throw out bogus stats with no backup , but we need to prove you wrong. I think that you are a whiny little baby because you are harping on a correctly called penalty and I'll believe you are a whiny little baby until someone proves me wrong.

Considering what off the field issues many draftees have, I think the fact that since High School, he hadn't done much contributed to his low draft status. But that stuff doesn't matter anymore. He's in the NFL regardless of draft position, he needs to get better quickly.

Not sure why anyone thinks this. We were the only team interested in him, and would only use a 7th round pick and he's done nothing to show he might be any good.

Because it's the side judges job to see if anyone is offsides on the kickoff. Why do you think they position a ref there?

I think 'easy' might be a bit generous a term, especially since it didn't happen too often today.

you do know that our players can move after the snap? Do you remember the play Graham made on a 3rd down stop, he lined up behind the first down marker but he ran up and stopped the receiver before he reached the line to gain.

This is the first I've ever heard Roman called inventive... has he designed plays never seen before? Just because you don't understand the play calling doesn't mean it's wrong. You realize that we had no credible option at RB, we had poor field position often... that makes it real difficult.

I know there is no correlation between the number of posts and football knowledge, but you have 29,661 posts and you still need to ask why CB's will sometimes play off the recievers?
