Royale with Cheese

Yeah for sure. Having to rely on Ogun, Hairston and Hoecht is not something I wanted to be in position for. We need them badly. But Hairston is also a question mark because he's a rookie. We need safety's badly. I don't know what Rapp does to keep his job. There are big lanes to throw to all the time for some reason. I had the endzone view yesterday and saw it all. It's nuts. I can see read where the ball needs to go to as fast as Pennix sees it. Rapp just is never around the ball and dives at ball carriers, never wraps up.

Not playing up to their standard doesn't mean they sucked. They sucked these last two weeks. If were were top 3 in scoring and you suck, that's a pretty good suck.

Its because they have seen a pattern pretty much every year with us where we suck for 2-4 games. Like suck. Like losing to the Jags coached by Urban Meyer suck.

Anthony Richardson suffered an orbital fracture in warm ups.

The one thing giving me hope is we do this pretty much every season. We were 7-6 at one point in 2022....our "Super Bowl" year that we blew. Then we started out 3-2 last year with embarrassing losses to the Ravens and Texans. Then squeak by the Jets the following week. We look gross right now but we should be used to this. We always hit a slump.

Oh he was hated. Some posters were saying it's like we are playing with 10 players on defense. He didn't do enough, I will agree with that. But, he did add value to the passing game.

I was so pissed off when he dropped that. This is crunch time. You make a play when given the opportunity. In this case, he was handed the ball on a platter. You can't miss that opportunity.

Tremaine Edmunds has the most INT's than any LB the last 3 years with 7. I know he was hated here but I think he might be the one major ingredient we're missing in the pass defense. Allen once said that Edmunds makes it hard to see when throwing the ball because he was so massive in the middle.

I was at the game and watched Tre's reaction toward Williams. He got on him. Williams nodded his head like "yeah, it was me."

Shakir can separate too. He just doesn't have the volume. He's better after the catch, he's better in the open field, he can get downfield better than Beasley. If we gave him the targets that Beasley had, Shakir would have more production. Coleman needs to be on the sideline. I was at the game last night sitting in the endzone with a perfect Madden view, he's athletically clumsy. He hits the juke hard, but too hard where you know it's a juke. It's like Barry Zito's curveball. It broke a lot but too much where you knew it was a curveball. You aren't buying his first cut, it doesn't get the DB to bite or turn his hips or get him thinking or get him off balance.

There is no reason, IMO, that Shakir shouldn’t have the volume that Beasley had. There is nothing that Beasley could do that Shakir can’t. He can split the safety’s better than Beasley….like Shakir did against Detroit.

Endzone. Section 101

I met him at the airport. Very nice guy. But drinking does crazy things to people.

Got my tickets.

I think your expectations are insanely high if you "suppose" 17-0 is a long shot.

We need a Chargers sweep and at least one from the Broncos.

The Colts will be a tough game.

EDITED FOR CORRECT RECORD. Could we potentially knock them out of the playoffs? They are 2-3 right now. They play the Lions next. I don't see them winning that game. Then the next games are Raiders, Commanders and Bills. Very realistically they could come into Buffalo at 3-5. Putting them at 3-6 with the Broncos twice in which I don't see a sweep, Colts, Chargers and Cowboys left. We could put them in too big of a hole.

To those who keep saying 13 seconds was our year…why are you so confident we beat the Bengals the next week? We haven’t figured out Burrow yet. The Chiefs lost to the Bengals after 13 seconds…

We aren’t getting a corner with Hairston and Strong. Strong I think will be back later in the year.

This is a team that we all thought was our Super Bowl team when we were at 7-6 at one point. There is so much season left.
