Oh. So you think Taylor should shoulder all the blame? You used to be someone I considered relatively level-headed. Guess I was wrong.

Literally the worst WR corps in the NFL and now not even a bonafide starter at TE. Inevitably the All 22 will have a play here and there where Taylor could have thrown the ball and the anTy guys will suck off the marrow of those plays as proof Taylor sucks without acknowledging the vast majority of other plays where they were covered. These are the leeches latching onto one play on the final drive where Clay was open enough for Taylor to throw the ball but still had a defender on his back while ignoring the surprisingly large number of plays shown in the broadcast from the bird's eye view that show pretty clearly that our WRs just weren't getting separation. It's gonna be a loooong 2 weeks. I just hope McDermott addresses the severe deficiencies in our offensive weaponry.

YESSSS!!! Maybe he helps! 2 weeks of preparation off a loss going into 2 straight home games and a softer part of our schedule. Maybe our OL gets it together and we start producing a bit offensively.

Nothing about playcalling or our seemingly inept running scheme? We have one of the best RBs in the NFL and had what worked as a great run blocking scheme last year and now Dennison has implemented a scheme where our OL is constantly pushed 3-4 yards into the backfield leaving Shady no room. Didn't the announcer say something about Shady having the 2nd or 3rd most runs for negative yards in the NFL so far? That's just pathetic. And I think it's part scheme and part playcalling. I'm fine with 3-2. We all would have been happy with that at the start of the season. And we haven't played a bad team, yet. Hell, the Jets are 3-2. Regroup for the bye and come back to protect home field.

So suddenly the Broncos and Falcons aren't good teams? Dude, you're just dense. You're also pathetic with how you're relishing in a bad game by our passing offense. Outside of 2 games against the Patriots and a game in Arrowhead against KC, our schedule after the bye looks a bit more favorable than what we started the season with.

This obsession with yards is just pitiful. Yards is purely what determines pass offense rankings. The number two pass offense is the Arizona Cardinals. Losing record but they must be losing in spite of Carson Palmer's heroic efforts, right? Oh wait, that's not the case. The guy has as many interceptions as touchdowns and is under 60% and his completion percentage. The NY Giants haven't won a single game despite being the 6th "best" passing offense in the NFL. This passing offense ranking obsession is pathetic. This game was a stinker. But it was like the perfect offensive storm of utter crap: a porous OL, the worst WR corps in the NFL, Taylor's #1 go to weapon getting hurt, terribly predictable play calling, untimely penalties negating big plays, WRs dropping balls and not getting open, and yes, of course Taylor making some bad decisions not throwing the football and misfiring a couple throws. This was as ugly a game offensively. But remember how the sky was falling after Carolina for you extremely overreactive posters? Yeah, we have a bye week to get back on track. Trust the process.

Agreed. No one was calling for 3-2 at the bye. All the teams outside the Chiefs in the AFC look pretty week. I'm just going to be interested in what moves we make during the bye.

Gonna be a loooong 2 weeks with that loss. I just love that we're 3-2 and still in pretty good position right now.

And our best WR today dropped a nice pass over the middle on a critical 3rd down that would have put us in FG range. Instead, an all-too-familiar drop and no points.

It's not Shady. Playcalling and our OL are pretty big problems, though.

On the surface it just looked baaaad. But at the same time, our WR corps is the worst in the NFL and Taylor lost his only reliable weapon on offense other than McCoy. At least a couple of the sacks he took were just coverage sacks because our crappy WRs couldn't get open. Some bad playcalling and some bad passes by Taylor and this was a game the Bengals were literally trying to give to us and we just couldn't take it. Oh well, I doubt anyone would have said they'd be upset with 3-2 at the bye, but the team has some work to do in the next couple weeks.

Dude, I'm so amazed. It's as though you think McDermott is paying closer attention to the 3 & out % than the fact that we're 3-1. Or that the team's 3 & out % is somehow indicative of Taylor's failure when he's needed when, in fact, he has the 3rd highest passer rating in the NFL when trailing

Dude!!! Most of our 3 & outs have been when we're ahead!!! Are people not watching the games?

Are people watching games? If you were, with the exception of the Carolina games I think it's blatantly obvious our large 3 & out % is the result of conservative playcalling once this team gets the lead.

It's very simple: The grass is always greener on the other side

Oy Jones better start catching the damn ball. I wonder if Logan Thomas is going to see the field a lot more Sunday.

Today they're hanging all over Andy Benoit's jockstrap.

He's supposed to be an expert, so he gets a pass because he gets to watch football for a living but there are 32 teams and "that's a lot of film?" That seems a little preposterous to me. Parts of this article get dumber and dumber the more I go back and read it. But boy oh boy, the anTy Taylor guys are loving it!

One man's inconsistent is another man's consistent.

All right, I'll bite. Can you name the passes? Here's what I bet: you're going to identify long passes that were too long, which really aren't bad throws because they aren't interceptable passes. Just off the top of my head (and I rewatched the game, too), his worst pass was the overthrow to Jones on the left side line where the ball went out of bounds. And his worst non-throw that he should have thrown was a sack he took where he could have delivered the ball to Logan Thomas who came open about 20 yards up the middle of the field. That was one incompletion and one sack. I know that there were three drops (2 by Jones, 1 by Clay), there was the overthrow to the WR Clay on the second to last play of the first half that wasn't really a bad throw, it was just taking a shot. So we have 17 of his 20 passes accounted for here. Can you take us through those three other passes and explain to us how those three passes were so terrible? Or better yet, how the number 4 (the 3 you're about to explain along with the bad pass I mentioned already) is "so many" when the reality is that it's just 20% of all of his pass attempts?

Oh, so you're just a troll who's never ever watched Taylor play, apparently

Is that Tyrod Taylor making that throw? Can't be. Andy Benoit says he's not a progression passer and that he doesn't have vision and the guy in that clip clearly goes through his progressions while standing in the pocket and finds a guy for a TD. That can't be Tyrod!!! It can't be!!!!

Look at everyone doubling down. Strange that this is happening after two victories over two of the best teams in the NFL where Taylor played well and made some downright spectacular throws. Benoit's comments on the whole team, to me, look like he's just glazing over the games at best. He's doubling down. Isn't that obvious? If he weren't, he would have at least noted the progress Taylor has clearly made in aspects of his game that Benoit has criticized for the last 2 years. Through four games Taylor is noticeably better at going through his progressions and throwing over the middle. But no mention of that from Benoit. And the leeches are out in full force sucking on those words as though their lives depended on it. If Taylor averages just 200 yards the rest of the season, but every one of those games is similar to the last two and the Jets game to start the season and this team goes, say 11-5 and wins a playoff game, I think the leeches here are going to be disappointed in what McDermott does not do in the 1st round of the draft next year. Maybe Benoit should go back and rewatch the film focusing on our secondary and pass rush, which he didn't seem to evaluate very well. Maybe he was just blinded by the combination of his dislike for Taylor with his efficiency and our team success so he had to scramble for some qualifiers to maintain his credibility.

Benoit has always disliked Taylor. This just sounds like he's doubling down. He doesn't help his own credibility with the way he talks about the secondary or our pass rushers in that article, though. He glazed over Gaines and Poyer like they were just low level journeymen when Poyer has arguably been our most dominant defensive player throughout our first 4 games.

Are you being sarcastic? He passed for 300 yards against Miami last year. What does this post accomplish? Reason to gloat if Taylor can't win a playoff game? What if he does? You gonna change usernames?
