I completely disagree with having Davis play over those 2 guys. Gabe should play because of injuries only, not because of performance. People forget all of the drops, miscommunication, and interceptions that happened on balls targeted to Davis

No, I haven’t forgot that at all. Coleman is an albatross. I’ll take Davis any day of the week over Coleman.

[NeverOutNick]

Up:

 

Josh and Cook and Kincaid - These 3 need to stay healthy. Great game from them all. 
 

Hairston and Bishop - These were the difference in the secondary. Bishop everywhere on the field and Hairston kept up with worthy easily. Honestly he may be faster than worthy with pads on. Not handsy guy knows how to play corner 

 

Hoecht!! - His injury is HUGE. You could see it at the moment that he came off of the field. Our pass rush wasn’t nearly as consistent. Somehow, that guy made every other pass rusher on our team better and I don’t think we can make up with that in a realistic trade deadline deal

 

3 down:

 

Defensive coaching on long downs: we still give up way too many third and fourth and lungs over and over and over again. I don’t blame the players because it happens multiple times every game and you can go back and look for the people that want them to pretend it was only the fourth down.

 

Offensive coaching when up: Brady needs to stop getting cute when we’re up and keep feeding cook. 
 

Cam Lewis: T Johnson has lost a step but Lewis consistently gets burned. He’s just not good. At least TJ still comes up big once in a while. I think for now we just need to get Shaq Thompson (when healthy) on the field more to play 4-3 at a greater rate. Or maybe there’s a way to get Hancock, Ingram or white in that nickel role. I’m not sure what it is, but it’s definitely not Lewis. The guy can stay on special teams but please no more on defense.

Up:

Josh: he got his mojo back!

 

Defensive Line Rotation: Here is where everybody ate (Bosa, Epenesa, Hoecht, Groot, Walker). Such a shame about Hoecht's Achilles.

 

Spencer Brown: Remember before the bye, he was either out or compromised in each of the 2 losses. The bye week came at a good time for him, and I think the presence of a healthy Spencer Brown makes a HUGE difference.

 

Down:

Bernard: His instincts seemed woefully off yesterday, and it seemed like every time something bad happened, he was seen on the screen!

 

Taron Johnson: He has struggled quite a bit at times this season, and I think his absence yesterday revealed that the team just might be better off with Lewis out there.

 

Trade prospects: It's about 24 hours now until the trading deadline. The "everyone eats" mantra was in full force yesterday with 10 different players recording a reception. Palmer should be returning soon, and Gabe Davis may be making an appearance soon too. Personally, I still love the idea of trying to make a trade for a bona fide deep threat, but is Beane going to feel the same way? Likewise, will the spectacular play of youngsters in the secondary yesterday (Hairston and Bishop, in particular) preclude them from adding reinforcements there as well?

Still think there will be some wr trade action…can’t say I’m 100% sure the bills will grab one though.  Saw some quote that the raiders are open to trading meyers but might not move on from him despite him being on an expiring contract because they ‘want to finish the season strong’ which is nonsense haha teams are definitely holding out to the final buzzer to start bidding wars it seems

Up

1) Cole Bishop he has arrived.

2) Joe Brady- finally schemed up WR to get open. Josh missed a few wide open downfield throws. But I get it he is not used to seeing that. Not to mention finally getting Ty Johnson involved.

3) josh Allen- managed the game and completed passes time and time again in big spots.

 

Down

1)Deone Walker- He is way too damn big to get pushed straight back by a single lineman. Watch the hunt TD run.

2) Keon Coleman- Trash

3) defensive timeouts

3) defensive timeouts

Keon caught his 2 targets and one of which lead to a first down. The other made it 3rd and 3 oh also caused a pass interference that lead to a first down. I guess you're lamenting he didn't get stats like Worthy or JuJu or Thornton had for KC?

[quincy]

Up

 

Torrence - Liked his extra needed help on one of Josh's TD runs - kept Jones at bay all game 

Moore - Caught his one target and survived the KC DB sandwich for a big play in the 4th quarter

Coleman - caught his two targets and drew the PI on the other ball thrown his way - not in any way amazing but he contributed to the win, a stepping stone? 

 

Down

 

Bernard - A down year so far after his extension, Shaq looked better calling the D last week, more confusion yesterday and he had a bad individual play on 4th down

Davis - no rushes or targets and only touched the ball on KO returns

Joe Brady - his playcalling before Prater's missed field goal - the last two short gain rushes were very similar in nature

Great so did Hollywood Brown KC’s WR 3. We want a consistent presence on offense. He’s has High School speed and maturity.

One question.. why not just punt instead of going for a long FG? Wouldn’t a punt all but end the game especially if he pushes it out inside the 20? That way you can keep the clock running until after it 

Yeah excellent question its one of those you make it and ice the game its the right call you dont you shoulda punted

I don't get the hate for Coleman.  He wasn't great in this game, but he also wasn't "trash".  Eric Moulds was below average the first 2 years of his career.  Give Coleman a chance.

I was not saying it was the wrong call just thinking why not punt and eliminate the chance of a block FG being returned for a TD.  I am no expert why I asked the question..
