Most of this game had nothing to do with the WR's. The Bengals were sitting on everything down the field and the underneath stuff was there. When Josh was taking it we moved the ball easily. When Josh was holding the ball and trying to force it into that coverage we looked like crap. Josh in many cases refuses to take what's there. When he finally started taking what was there was when we finally were able to get a shot into the end zone. Allen is a prize fighter who hates to use a jab and it's biting us in the butt.

Or if they had just stopped them they could have had the ball back with a stop ...............

What do I know but I feel just the opposite. I think McD preaches conservative take what's there and that is what was working. Dorsey likes slinging it as does Josh and that was what the Bengals were playing as Josh held it llooking down field and throwing it into the stands and taking hits. I thing Josh trys to Mike Tyson his way through everything ........... he's all punch and no jab. It takes him whole games sometimes to figure out just take what they are giving you.

That defense could win us a game vs the Bengals. They weren't perfect but they made a few stops. There was hope. The offense needs to go back to the drawing board and learn to make it easier, take what's there, and then hit them when they try to take away the short stuff. Right now teams just sit on the 10 to 15 yard stuff and Josh sits back there and takes sacks or gets chased around.

Welcome to the club Miller ............. you are now Billsy.

Exaactly the opposite. Josh will not take the underneath stuff. For 3 quarters he moves off what they are giving him and kills drives throwing deep shots into coverage. Then after 3 quarters of stalled drives he takes what they are giving and we move the ball.

Sure wish we had that time out from the challenge ..............................

It only takes us 3 quarters to figure out how to play offense.

The Pats always found a way to get a tight end down the seem after a few short passes. Seems like now would be a good time to get Kincaid a 20 yarder down the middle.

Using a time out on this will probably bite us in the butt later.

They are not taking the short passes and the plays look like crap. They should just keep hitting Kincaid and Shakir and keep moving the ball.

Not sure play actions means a damn thing when you only run the ball twice a game.

It only took Allen 3 qtrs to start taking what the defense was giving him and then Kincaid fumbled. Just getting going again ......... plenty of time.

They looked right against the Bucs. Lots of quick passing taking the easy stuff. We come out this week and forgot everything we learned and right back to hold the ball and take 15 to 20 yard shots and horrible looking screen passes.

We can. Guys open all night. When Josh throws short we move the ball at will. When Josh holds the ball nothing but bad things happen. We had it working, Josh seemed to figure it out finally and then Kincaid fumbled.

We're getting Pharoh Brown'd again.

If nothing else our defense looks like it could play these guys. Offense is not ready. It wasn't ready against the Jaguars, Pats, Giants, or again tonight against the Bengals.

So Allen finally figures out just taking ................... never mind. Getting the ball out guys making catches and ............ fumble.

For the love of god ....................... just keep moving the ball and taking the short stuff. It's not working ........... just take what they are giving you.

If you hit Kincaid short enough (see Kelcey) they'll change up coverage but right now they are sitting on Davis and Diggs and everything past 8 to 10 yards. Just keep taking the short stuff.

Just keep taking the short stuff. 3rd and 1 should be easy.

It's been there all night. Last couple of drives Josh throws short we move the ball then he takes two shots and we come away with nothing or we do something that never works like a screen or a jet sweep There again ......... KIncaid and Shakiir have been open all night.

They're there. Josh just does not want to throw it there. He'll do it a couple times and then he starts patting the ball and looking downfield and bad things happen. 2 plays later we're punting.

He has about 2 seconds and he needs to either throw it or run. He's not looking short enough, they're covered past 10 yards, and Josh is patting the ball and taking sacks and throwing into coverage.

Double LB spy .................... why because Josh isn't throwing it and they can cover Josh instead of leaving them in zone because Josh isn't looking for the short passes. He'll hit a couple and then right back to throwing it down the field where everyone is covered.
