We need to add a downfield WR. This defense and this coaching staff is not going to suddenly fix itself by the time the playoffs roll around. So we need to be able to score 40 points against any opponent to have a real chance. It's too late to add Metcalf but maybe New Orleans will be willing to part with Rashid Shaheed. There needs to be some kind of addition made on that side of the ball or else I just don't think we can get it done this year.

yea great idea .

 

maybe we should offer a one or two ones.

We clearly missed Spencer Brown today.  Van der Mark was responsible for too many negative plays.

Not going after Metcalf in the draft and now in this season is criminal negligence

Olave should be the target

 

The injury history worries me but sure if they want to make him available I wouldn't say no. Palmer was supposed to br our outside route runner/separator but he has been mostly invisible through 4 weeks. That role remains open.

Lots to clean up. Feels lucky to beat Baltimore, Miami & now N.O.

 

Honestly, you don't want to peak too soon and play your best ball this early in the season.

I mean what's there to say.  They were not really focused or disciplined for much of the day but when it came down to it, Josh Allen did Josh Allen things when they needed him to and the D came up to slam the door shut twice. And, ho-hum, the put up their normal 30+.

Rattler has been pretty good all year tbh…starting to think he might be decent

The injury history will be why the Saints may be squeamish on paying him #1 WR money.

 

And honestly, when you neglect a position so long, you don’t get the luxury of being picky.

So it felt unlucky for those team to all give up 30+ points to us?  Seems like an absurd statement.

[WideNine]

Ugly and not the best ref crew as they really were overly officious and ticky tacky calls disrupted much of what our offense likes to do. Much of those holding calls on our receivers blocking on the perimeter were just weak.

 

Give the Aints some credit as they had more sideline to sideline speed than I gave them credit for and our quasi-bubble screen game and reverses were blown up quickly. The Bills went after their rookie DB Riley and he made plays when they needed them on pretty good Allen throws.

We got away from our gap running game a bit I think to try to go up two scores and put a fork in them, but that took us away from Cook and the running game that was working and played into how they were dropping back into coverage and a surprisingly effective pass rush. I thought our pass pro was pretty weak this game and Van Demark had a rough game. There is a drop off from Spencer and for a kid that was coming on strong 2 years ago, you can see why he was getting beat out by Grable before Grable got injured and placed on IR.

Defense has been lack-luster, kept the Saints in the game with some poor tackling and effort early. Gave up multiple 3rd downs and still struggle with stops in the red zone. They tightened things up down the stretch but still a long ways to go before they strike fear into any opponent. 

Allen's angry run seemed to wake the entire team up from what looked like a game they were sleep-walking thru. He is the inspirational leader and soul of this team without question.

Isn’t this how KC used to win their games the seasons they went to (and sometimes won) the Super Bowl?

Dart with his first NFL win and start for the Giants. He could be good too

I think it felt like they could have scored almost at will today but instead came in with the intention of limiting what they were going to put on film.

The biggest problem they ahd today had noting to do with passcatchers; the OLine had its worst game of the year and made everything harder on everybody.
