They've steadily gone downhill and since you said they weren't responsible for any losses, I definitely disagree about the Jets game

They were getting pushed around by the Jets, who we allowed to run it down our throats at the worst possible time.

They played absolutely terrible against the Jets.

We gave up 350 to Cousins. We need him back.

Of course I don't like it. If you can't get pressure on the opposing QB when you need it, it's pointless.

Zach Wilson shouldn't have beat the Bills either, but he did.

The league is going to have to make the call soon if it's supposed to start on Thursday night. With those snow totals, airport will probably close and the team will most likely have to bus to Detroit or wherever if they chose to move the game.

If it's seriously that much, the game could legit be cancelled. That's not safe for people to be travelling and many roads will be impassible.

So if field conditions are bad, that's going to favor the run game even more.

I completely get that our offense revolves around JA. But even bad coaches know you need to be burning clock when you have the lead, not giving the ball right back.

As they shouldn't. And unless you have inside info who was available that we didn't go after and not have to overpay for, this is pure speculation.

Yeah, signing vets to ride the bench doesn't make much sense to me, especially given McD's general dislike of relying on rookies, which makes it even stranger. Who was available out there that we could've had at a price that would've made sense for us? We signed Marlowe, a guy that already knows our D, and they still played who they played yesterday.

Is this sarcasm? Hard to tell.

Is this not exactly the play you're talking about? We ran it for a 36 yd TD last week. https://youtu.be/-hISgjLjJdc

I thought they played a pretty good first half yesterday as well, but I had that feeling, based on the last couple games, we were going to go flat in the second half, and that's exactly what happened. So disheartening to think that a 17-point lead at home in the 3rd quarter isn't safe.

So being 3rd place and 0-2 in the division means we're the best team? OK, we'll see how this plays out.

Current playoff seeding if the season ended today. I remember people repeatedly telling me we had nothing to worry about in the AFCE. Tenn is the last team I want to face in the playoffs right now given our run D. They aren't the same team we played in week 2 and we aren't the same either.

Yeah, it was highly unlikely for us to blow a 27-10 lead yesterday too, but we did and given that we haven't scored a second half TD in three games, it's not outside the realm of possibility 20 points is enough to beat us, especially if we keep turning the ball over.

No, it's actually just a matter of deciding to not read your smug replies, but go off I guess.

Unless KC starts losing games, we've already wasted the tiebreaker, just like we did last season. We need to just focus on winning games to make the playoffs at this point. If home field somehow happens, it happens.

The Jets literally beat us running down it down our throats the second half while our offense did nothing. Bye

The few times Frazier does blitz, it's often off the corners where the blitz takes too long to actually do anything. That is just poor scheming. Even if you drive 99 yards, if you throw an INT in the endzone, what difference does it make? These poor redzone decisions have become commonplace the last few games and will continue to plague this offense if Josh doesn't just take what the D is giving instead of trying to force bad balls.

Or put more pressure on Cousins and force him into bad throws where the receiver doesn't have a chance at it. We've made Cousins yesterday and Wilson last week look much better than they actually are IMO and you give almost any NFL QB time to throw with little pressure, they are going to find a receiver.

Cleveland is not a good team, however, they do have the 5th best rushing attack in the league at just under 160 yards/game. We'll see if Frazier stubbornly sticks with the Nickel even if they do effectively run the ball on us. Pretty sure every team that blitzes know the drawbacks of it and are willing to accept those risks to try to disrupt the offense. The drawbacks of rushing only 4 are what we saw yesterday. Expecting to get consistent pressure with only rushing 4 is just not realistic against a good line.

I expect him to send more heat. If you aren't getting pressure with 4 and the other team keeps moving the ball and converting 3rd downs, what logic says to just keep doing what you're doing? If you get burned with the blitz, so be it, but at least you did something to try and stop them instead of what you were doing that wasn't working. What's going on with Josh is completely bizarre though. It all started after the bye. Clearly looking like the young, undisciplined Josh.
