Jack did not pop on film year 1 at all. He was mediocre. Joe is tracking. With his ethic, he could be a pro bowl type player some day. Just needs to keep grinding and working hard.

I thought he was ghosty at times, but this was more due to a few factors. Overall he played sound. Tackled sound and took solid angles. They did not seem to blitz much and not a ton of splash plays. He did not pop to me in run D but nothing negative either. They played a lot of base and tried to keep everything in front of them. I don't feel they ran any spies, so Milton burned us. Joe was not at fault here, as safety play and CBs played " sleepy" .

Who is saying it will be easy?

Wentz looked awful

Buffalo Joe pretty much a ghost

Sucks for Dorsey. I think he was dealt a bad hand. Chubb out. Trade top wideout. Watson mess, then stuck w DTR and Zapper off the street. Winston alone is a coach- killer. Dorsey may need some remedial work, but he's not miracle worker.

Purdy is not the guy. That's my take from this game. May be an overreaction but too many lazy lapses of judgement. Bad picks.

I wished Coleman caught that wonderful down field sideline throw. One of the best throws of Allen's career.

Yep thanks Colts...we wanted to beat your soft butts in the playoffs but you blew it!

Get em next time

Thought even his catch could have been a big gain if he would have cut tough upfield. Did some silly loop backward.

Oy vey refs

Bean has an excellent eye for running back he's got a great eye for talent . Edited: voice to text stinks

Still a long road for Bungles. Colts SMH.....so easy a path.

The need for Broncos over Cinci was highly overblown.

Pettine is not the best example. He was not a crazy good candidate. Was seen as an odd hire at the time. I agree, they will find someone. That someone will likely be perceived as a dark horse or guy who is desperate or on some second chance. Maybe a guy like Doug Marrone.

I disagree. But let me say, I think CFB will shift to allow some point failed NFL players to come back to the CFB ranks. I'm in a competent NFL caliber GM/ coach/ OC , my best route- I stay the fudge away from Woody Johnson and the NY Jets.

This is like watching my wife puke last night

Yep but I don't see Nix as more a proto NAI player. Went to Oregon to genuinely pursue glory knowing his NFL rating was not as high as he hoped. More like Russ Wilson.

I think there will be a new high bust rate among NAI era dudes. They are not going to have the same drive.

Stinks. But really still reminded this Steelers team is a trash team who we would roll up in the playoffs.

Yep, hopefully get some reps for them. Either way we should be in decent shape. I really doubt Steelers will take care of Chiefs. My bet is we win and have nothing to play for in NE.

I've always felt it's this giant lie that you can throw it deep with a strong arm quarterback in the cold like man look at the old cold weather games. They throw screen passes 90% of the time.

My impression real time of the D was we played solid, just missed a couple rushes and Maye was just on point, and some key throwaways where a rookie usually makes dumber decisions.

Man, I don't get hyping the notion it was an in game rivalry. There was just poor play from us and at times excellent from NE. In the end, these are the same mistakes we've seen before. Could not stop the run....at least for a stretch. We got run over on those first two drives. Same problems. Plus, Maye was insane. He was throwing darts all over and making great heady plays when pressured to ditch the ball and avoid sacks. Our brand of D struggles against solid QBs. I know some folks will boast we adjusted, but see Ravens , Texans, and Rams game to say the damage can be done against better teams. We had poor play calling in this one. Again, this is always what happens when we struggle. Ditched short passes in Lieu of deeper lower percentage plays. It's Brady 's bane. Then in cold WRs had drops or Josh was off. We seemed affected by cold.
