SOOOOO, is there any chance that given how allen played early, they figured he mighta been able to come back in the game but thought maybe sit him even tho he'd play in say a playoff game or something?

you calling me paranoid dude? who you been talking too? back off me man!

while i'm not exactly jeff sessions when it comes to the evil's of the herb, i've seen (both personally and via some published research) that chronic cannabis users experience anxiety as a function of being chronic cannabis users, so they need a dose to control it. i'm a hardcore caffeine and nicotine addict, if i don't get my dose i'm a mess, it stands to reason that abuse (and every day prolly qualifies) of a mind altering substance leads to a similar and potentially much worse result.

If he is cleared and plays, I think he will come out like a house on fire. passing on 1st down to set up big runs and then play action. a road win via total team destruction is exactly what we need after the NE loss prior to a bye week.

I fully expect out D to dominate them. We need our O to play with confidence, Motor being back will be a huge lift. Constantly having tight ends and fresh backs in the game and mixing up run/pass should sustain a few drives and let us get to 24 points (i also expect a couple short fields from actually winning the turnover battle for once!). We seem to be good w the scripted drives, so getting off to a 10 or so point lead taking their biggest weapon (running) off the table early should make for a W.

assuming he is examined and they feel that he's gonna get healthy, i'd jump all over a 4th for Green. Our biggest needs right now for this season: punter OT (RT really) WR we have some extra tackles on the team, and maybe they get better/our scheme accommodates them punter i just have no idea, does anyone ever trade for one? WR would be the biggest value add if we get someone with skills. AJ green is sick, but if there is someone better i'd take him instead. at worst we get another KB situation and blow a 3rd and some money. worth the chance of getting a giant fast sure handed guy who turns JA back foot floater picks into deep catches.

im starting to think that the reason why Ty is getting rotated in and out is because he's got some kind of foot/health issue that is limiting him (could be he just gets tired fast or some such). they were willing to take burn from Star for harry, and they put that dude (can't remember his name, but i'm a fan) we stole from miami last year who just wrecks shop, so i think they are pretty motivated to put in whoever they think is best at that time.

I lost faith in the moment. I kinda did a bit vs jets too. i will say tho, if josh were on the pitch in the 4th (the entire 4th) and not knocked out, we walk away a winner. alpha once again puts the focus on the WR situation. I think we are gonna have to run 21 personal a lot once Kroft comes back. tiny wrs who get open all over, two giant athletic TEs, and a do everything back. basically what the pats do.

loooool. shut up man! at least give us some hopeful takes while we marinate in this heart breaker loss. I will say, I think zay's problem is that he can only catch a ball when things are going just right for him, that's why he never seems to adjust for the play or come back to fight off josh's all to frequent picks. cole and brown can make great snags, and knox looks like he can flip and fight for a ball, but zay only catches balls that are not contested and come to him at just the right time.

allen can throw an accurate pass, he just has THE WORST HABITS sometimes. roll right, attempt a hero pass off balance. he's done that no joke like 8 times this season, all with bad results (sacked out of FG range, picks, intentional grounding). he was garbage vs green bay last year, i wonder if when things are going good, he faces his childhood heroes and just lets it get to him. as garbage as he was, i think we win if he didn't get knocked out.

I agree with going out and upgrading. I think our biggest issue is our punt game tho. Just sucks.

I'm a huge ja17 supporter, but he sucked out loud today. The back up te was garbage too, and the tackles stank as well. I still think if Josh didn't get knocked out he woulda come back to win, prolly on the drive when we got stuffed on 4th down, and maybe added a other score on the final drive.

Pats being smarter found a weakness in our punt formation, and we didn't recognize it. That cost us the game. Dimarko, Lee Smith, the punter, and zay Jones are all wood and need to be upgraded stat. I also think we need help at OT

Allen was hot garbage, but zay never fights for anything. He's not good, and our tackle play in pass pro has been awful. Smith is trash, we should trade DC for their lt, cut Smith and Jones, bring up williams

same thing here. i finished watching the come back last week and just knew we'd lose this one, hoping to keep it reasonable. now i'm full of hope and ready to get crushed.

i used to hate the cowboys, but i don't really anymore. i hate the pats and their cheating, but i can't help respect the fact that they are simply a smarter organization than the rest. I also used to hate the steelers much more than i do now, and many of their fans suck. i've lost a lot of hate for the fins. I've hated the jets a bit over the past 10 years, but not as much now. all of the hate i've lost for these teams has been put towards pats fans, who are just awful.

Bro, that's a stone cold fact. Field position battle meant the plays we did put together didn't have enough impact, and of course we had some famous drops and just a total dearth of offensive talent last season. All that said, allen outplayed tom (but not well) and it's giving me hope for sunday. I'm on record saying i fully expect a loss, but i can't help but be a fan made up of hope and joy. No matter how much i step back from being a sucker hoping we beat NE, THEY KEEP PULLING ME BACK IN.

OP, that is a very salient point. I remember that game, but i just looked at the box score and it's kinda silly how badly they out ran and punted us. just disgusting.

i understand the desire to be forgiving/see the best in people, but it always shocks me how people seem almost surprised when a repeat offender offends again. richie, as much as i like him, is a drug addict and not exactly a good guy. the surprising thing should be when they keep clean, not when the fall back, to be honest.

I have to start off saying i don't expect a win and think that our young and new O is too sloppy to really score on the pats. the one good thing is this year we seem to be able to put together long scoring drives a few different ways, so if we can get a couple of scores the confidence will inspire. if we are to win this game, some of our batted balls will turn into picks, we won't allow big plays, and we get some pressure on brady. the biggest thing that i think goes overlooked is field position battle. much like his sith master, parcels, billicheat has always had solid special teams and shoplifts cheap yards on punt returns, and generally puts the other team back as much as can be done. we will have to at least sustain a few plays prior to punting and pin them back, as well as avoid horrible holding and lame returns on their punts.

he sucks and he's a *****.

if the story about the gm and owner are true, that's insane. owner wanted jackson? honestly, that would solve a lot of the team's issues if they got him.

in general i agree with alphadog, but while that was an epic road win, the mistakes by the O, and allen in particular, were pretty god awful until about half way into the third quarter. i think we have it in us, but the bills just have to improve and be more consistent to show they are a better than 500 team. i know we will be a better team at the end of the year than we are now, but the oline, the wrs, and especially josh need to clean it all up. i'm still excited for the team and expect another road win on sunday.

shut your measured mouth! i want electric 30 yard bombs and long runs ripped every drive! pish posh to your "game plan". how dare you

he looked like he's learning a few things. I don't want them to try to turn him into alex smith with short low value passes based on quick decisions tho, they need to mix it up and have him take bigger shots more often (which we did late, and it resulted in a win). that will also open up the d to the run, and allow us to show one formation for multiple plays, and multiple formations for the same play as well. i liked the sense of rhythm and such, just think we needed a few good runs in there to keep the d honest. at the end of the day, we aren't gonna beat the pats without some big huge plays, as well as adding up the gut punches of the running game to get them late, so we should start the way we want to finish. i think our O in the late 3rd and 4th quarter showed a lot of that.
