Brady has to do a better job scheming guys open. Josh has to recognize guys downfield that have one on one situations and trust them to make plays. Even so we have a top offense.

We played like crap last week and still should have pulled it out. I’m not worried.

The D actually held them to 33.3% on third down.

Yes. Because of one game. Horrors. Coleman needs to grow up somewhat; this kind of discipline should help. Either that or have Dawkins and Brown pin him against a wall and threaten to beat his ass.

One always thinks the grass is greener on the other side, but most of the time it’s brown.

They will likely be calling Jackson up. And I would start Ingram over Tre right now.

The whole defense needs to learn that for sure.

But he’s a safety. I gather they wanted another LB around with what’s going on with Williams and Milano.

We have right now as starters Thompson and Bernard. Williams and Milano can be back soon. Them Buffalo Joe and Ciarlo. Then Jenkins on the practice squad. Is bringing a guy back familiar with the system really worth getting one’s panties in a knot?

I don’t get some people here. If it were your business and you needed a replacement, and could hire a former employee that knows how your business runs vs. someone with no clue, what would you do? It is a practice squad thing. You would have to have Milano, Williams, Buffalo Loe all out before you’d get to that point.

Step up and play a solid game. No more dumb penalties and such.

I have said many times today there was a ton of blame to be assigned for yesterday’s outcome.

Sixty sixth year for me. This is helpful; indicating your lack of objectivity with respect to Josh helps me understand your posts more. He had a B game, but as my dad would say if I got a B on my report card: you are capable of A’s so I expect A’s. Of course we had too many guys that had C and D games as well.

There you go

May have played his last down as a Bill

Absolutely

I think there is a difference in saying Josh didn’t play great vs. hanging the loss in him. There was plenty of blame to be spread around to be sure.

Those unis looked God awful to me. Kind of reminded me of the 1960 ones when they had blue and silver in them since Ralph was from Detroit.

Is there any way to tell when a play is run whether it is that called by Brady vs. an audible? I was perplexed by some of the calls last night. Collinsworth made a good point about us not running traps pulling the tackles until second half. I also was surprised we didn’t continue emphasizing the middle of the field with our TEs and Shakir. And all season I don’t get not getting Cook and Johnson more involved in the passing game. Just not sure if Brady is not calling them, or if Josh sees something and audibles out.

Start Ingram for Tre Play Cook and Johnson together in the backfield and use them in the passing game Bench the first guy who makes a stupid penalty like not covering the tackle

Yeah, statistically the D did OK. But some things were maddening. Why it took so long to put a spy on Maye for example. And their tackling like Bishop’s one whiff. Only other thing I’d say for the D is it’s time to sit Tre down, we love the guy but coming back from an ACL and an Achilles is probably too much to ask. I think they’ll bounce back with a solid outing in Atlanta. Hopefully put both sides together as you indicate.

Last night was a substandard performance by everyone (except Kincaid in my mind). Coaches, players, probably even the water boys. But they’ll bounce back.

Never easy to lose a pet. Condolences.

Just stop. For God sakes. We all love Josh. To me is the best QB in the league. But it is not blasphemy to say he did not have his best game last night. And I will say again that outside of Kincaid I don’t know that anyone did. But it is not blasphemy to say that Josh had some plays he’d like back, particularly the pick. It doesn’t mean we thought he sucked. It doesn’t mean anyone here is blaming him for the loss. Just that, like many of his teammates, he could have done a little better. Perhaps you and others shouldn’t be so sensitive about this.

I have to say I was throwing my phone around all night after calls, but on replays most of the time they were justified. The PI on Tre was obvious. It just seems with Hochuli’s crew that they want to be visible, they think they are what fans come to see. Refs should be invisible.
