I thought I was seeing things! That o line moved early so many times with no flags! Thank you for posting this.

I always appreciate your posts Virgil...because they're generally objective. This loss hurts the fans more than the team...because we counted it as a sure win. The team does hurt in standings and position...but I think we fans are feeling it more. There is nothing we can do about it. The team can get back to work and fix what's broken. The question is, do we have the parts? Any team deserves the support of their fan base...if they are making an effort. Feel the way you feel, Virgil, until you don't feel that way any more. The saltiness is clearly felt by many as generally there are more posts after a poor performance than a good one.

I'll agree to disagree. Crosby has been pretty solid at kicker until Bojo's arrival. I think he's making a negative difference, although he is one heck of a punter.

I don't think it was arrogance by McD regarding Ford. Ford had worked hard on things in practice and they needed a guard, so Ford was next up. I think after they review the film, we may not see Ford again.

Doesn't having the laces to one side or another affect the direction of the kick? As to the bad snap, you may be correct.

You're right...albeit Williams started last year at RT and was moved inside due to Brown's emergence. I think Bates is better out there than Ford at the very least, but I don't know if they've ever tried him at guard.

They just focused on Bojo's holds on the Red Zone. The first, laces were to the right. In the second, the laces faced the kicker. Not good.

He said their kicker had not attempted anything as long this year and he thought it was a good bet he'd miss from that range.

I think he just needs to get stronger...physically and mentally.

Totally agree. Dawkins, IMO, has not fully recovered from his bout with covid. Clearly Ford cannot play any position on the o line. If our backups are better players (e.g. Bates) we need to put them out there. The weakest link in the chain is the most important. It can break the chain.

I agree with your take. I don't know what happened to the creative play calling we used to have. We're trying to force feed the run and the o line isn't good enough. As far as the Patriots...they may well win the division. They're solid o line play is making a difference in their offensive execution. I just want to see some changes this week by the offensive coaching staff...o line and play calling. Quite frankly, the best teams in the league are in the NFC...paricularly the Rams. I'll be watching them closely tonight.

That game is now on Fox Sports 1.

And Wake Forest got upset by NC. Turned the game off thinking WF had the game in hand. And once again Joey Porter Jr commits back to back DPI for PSU. Fortunately...Brown picked off the Maryland QB to save the day.

I stand corrected. I forgot that WR was temporary. Also wasn't Sweeney on IR with the myocarditis last year?

You're right. I forgot about them. We did keep more TEs that year. This year we had Hollister but let him go in favor of more WRs.

They must have seen what they had in Knox and Sweeney and decided they were as good or better.

Yeah, but he looks like he's wearing a fake nose and glasses.

If they're in the division they're a rival. You play them twice per year every year. Division games are always unpredictable due to the familiarity of the teams.

Especially with their remaining schedule.

Plus Josh is humble and doesn't do a lot to show off. He's a team first guy.

Thus far it doesn't appear Josh knows what to say. He has no history with either Manning and his team first attitude prevented him from gloating over Peyton's son wearing Josh's name on his jersey.

Jones is not a smart QB.

Josh Allen will be on in 3rd qtr.

Will watch Q1 with John Stewart and Q3 with Josh Allen. Q2 has Michael Strahan and 4 has Michael Irving...that is presuming each guest gets a quarter.
