I counted 5 times today where I yelled hold onto the ball.

Coaching. You have to get Singletary more touches.

That’s nice. It’s not happening and you know it.

6-3. Lost a tough one today. The only game we truly stunk this year was Philly. i understand people get emotional after a loss. But the reality is this: Beane is going nowhere, McD is going nowhere. Allen is going nowhere. Daboll and McD need to have a heart to heart about using their young RB better. Some of your stuff is on point. Some not. But the plan is not failing because they lost a close game.

Yeah he missed a couple long balls and that needs improvement. But I think at most 5% of passes are in the air more than 30 yards. Still, hitting McKensie would have been big. I say let Allen be Allen. Let him play the first three quarters the way he plays 4th quarters. And get Singletary the ball!

Have to get your most dynamic guy more touched

My point is we always have people that show up and comment only after a loss, and disappear after a win.

I didn’t see a post from you all last week. Offense needed more yards. Defense let them score when they couldn’t. And the kicker missed 2FGs.

Two missed FGs. Ballgame

Yes.

Ok boys, let’s matriculate the ball down the field!

First time I got a 33. Then I had my assistant deflate my pencil so I could get a better grip while writing, and I got a 35.

Maybe because it’s not game in and game out. Tough game against the Eagles. Tough first half last week, then a complete shut down in the second. And the other 6 games they weren’t gashed at all. Maybe you should quit making unsubstantiated generalizations.

For those of us old enough to remember the AFL days, it has to be The Hit Heard Round The World.

Boards like this should be for debate. Positive and negative views, praise and criticism should be welcome. I would hope folks would offer them with some rational basis and not just knee jerk reactions (like in the game threads. Some folks are overly positive about things, some the other way.

Here's another interesting quote from the si article: The lack of NFL level offensive linemen and the return of the run game/running back—with all the fantasy football and rules being made to get points up and passing yardage up, there are not enough offensive tackles for 32 teams to have at least two NFL level starters to execute the passing game at an efficient enough level to win being a "passing, greatest show on turf" type of offense. Still have to run to win. The offensive minded coaches that know how to devise ways to run the ball with lesser talent in the offensive line or when their front line OL are out are the guys that give their guys the best chance to win.”

What do you think it will take to change that?

Nah, we need to step up against their run game. No doubt. But they need to step up against our run game with Singletary, and so on. Two side of the coin. I realize we have some weaknesses. But come on. We won last week and to read comments around here you'd swear we got killed. Can't we just enjoy a victory for a change?

Good pick up. Go kick their butts.

More doom and gloom. The OP indicates they have faced really poor teams, yet the emphasis by most here is how we'll have trouble with their run game. How about that they'll have trouble with us?

Let them ignore the Bills. Fine by me. Just gives the players more incentive. I imagine the team is pretty pissed about being the underdog to a 2-6 team this weekend.

And you don't understand there is a difference between playing in college vs. the pros? You honestly don't get that?

And?

I have no idea how successful this kid will be as an NFL QB. But it's clear he's enormously successful as a human being. And in the end that what really counts.

Great stuff here.
