RoyBatty is alive

Asking rabid fans to "cool it" is a nice sentiment but that is about l it is. This is the NFL anyone can win any week, we should all be disappointed if they dont win. Having said that, I think this is the first real test for our alleged #1 defense, I think the defense comes down to earth and this could get ugly.

Good for Deshaun, this deserves publicity and not the non-stop idiocy on both sides we have had to endure. Recall Jerry Hughes cut a check for $25k, class act. Guess he wont be donating to Hunter's Hope anytime soon.

Yes it is as bad as it looks. The Pats are definitely beatable. The Texans literally had that game in their hands and the cornerback dropped the ball. A two TD underdog with a rookie QB goes up to Foxboro and should have won the game, this is not the pats of the past. Brady is going to pass for 400 yards each game on us, he is going to pick our zone to shreds between the 20s, how many TDs he gets is another issue with the field compressed in the red zone.

He got caught off guard and his coach speak monitor wasn't turned on, not too hard to imagine.

What is wrong with the stadium, why dont the fans like it.

Big mistake on the players part, big. Didn't learnt the first time, did they. A lot of resentment already by fans, a strike going to make this situation substantially worse. Thus far according to the Nielsen TV ratings, week 1 was down 12%, week two down 15%. Those are massive losses. Even talk about a strike is going to alienate even more fans.

Well the QB can see what the defense is doing and change what his hot read is or change his progression of he is throwing to at least. I really cant believe the Bills do not have the automatic audible on every play to at least go for run to pass or vice versa, our offense can't be that simplistic.

Some of the coaching we have had lately, simple fundamental, basic common sense, Rex couldn't get his defense out in time, recall the unguarded Houston Texan that caught a TD. It was almost comical to watch Brady torture our defense, that is when he felt like it at HIS choosing, running the hurry up. Fortunately for us he rarely did because he didnt have to with the Bills.

It is not allowed in Buffalo, there was a few years ago were we did NONE of it at all, i mean none for two years in a row. Wish i remember who the OC was/what years that was. Freakin irritating as hell.

Depressing, one more tool in the toolbox that we dont use. My kids 7th grade QB can audible for Gods sake. Or is it that Dennison has such an all time proven master system and great play caller he calls it right, even as the Defense makes pre snap adjustments.

For me, I love Matthew's enthusiasm and positive outlook, we need more of that in this franchise.

I would agree if they didn't just move 2 teams to LA, where are they going to go? St Louis? London? Las Vegas?

This is just absurd

A lot of people are convinced it would have been a W with Peterman out there, a rookie never once played a real NFL game. I dont think he is near ready.

Are you referring to lil ole me? You think I am "to" afraid I will be proven wrong so I am hiding and have a created "fake account"? If you want to think up things like that knock yourself out.

LOL, that will create some histrionics here for the rest of the week

Good just get us the Pats offense and we wont worry about flipping the field anymore.

Rarely do I change my mind from anything I have red here but you have got me thinking, it is entirely possible it was Zay Jones fault and that pass was exactly where and when it was supposed to be. I never noticed the stumble but i see it now

Relax everyone, trust the process.

Why would someone be upset McD was clapping? Did they want him crying or something.

This is similar to Jauron's defense, I hate the term but we are a bend but dont break defense. Just like Jauron, don't give up the big plays, hope the offense makes a mistake. We will give up a lot of yards but not a lot of TDs, that is what you say yesterday. With our zone coverage a good QB can methodically go down the field if they have a quick release and are accurate but when we get near the red zone and the field is compressed, that is when our zone is really effective. One of the frustrating aspects though sometimes you have to attack on defnse, yesterday with time critical we let Carolina go down the field into field goal range, they used up valuable time and got another 3 points which meant we needed a TD. We made a critical mistake imo by not being more aggressive on their last drive, abandon the zone coverage.

A properly thrown ball he waltzes in the end zone, 95% of QBs with little pressure (as TT had) throw that for a TD.

The call that really sealed our fate was the Offensive Pass Interference, IMO under those game circumstances that cal is almost never made. I hate blaming refs for bad calls BUT it is part of the game, nature of the beast. And yes I wall agree with other it shouldn't have come down to that but that is the nature of parity and the NFL, if that call is not made I think we would have probably won, we were on a real role, it took too much time to get all that yardage back.

Yeah whatever, this looks like a lost season for the Bengals, how doe Marvin Lewis keep his job?

Good read, thanks.
