Ugly win. Get Perine back here somehow. This offense misses him badly. Please let Orlando Brown be ok, a couple weeks to heal.

Helmet to helmet on Burrow on that TD, they didn’t call it.

It doesn’t look like Pratt is even trying to get off blocks.

There has to be something wrong with Germain Pratt.

Looking for our defense to have a big game today. LFG.

Speaking of Trenton Irwin, he looked good Sunday filling in for Tee Higgins. He fills the possession guy/safety valve number 2 role as well as Higgins, though he lacks Higgins deep threat and big play ability.

It is a different era. Way better d ends. It is just damn hard to find competent tackles anymore given what they are facing, and the emphasis on passing. We are just one of many teams who struggle to find better o line play, but we are demonstrably better. As far as any effort to rehabilitate Paul Alrxander’s reputation, keep trying. Dude sucked. Couldn’t evaluate talent at all. He’s so good that the cowboys hired him as their o-line coach and he lasted exactly one season. Hasn’t been an o-line coach since, and this is a league dying for competent o-line coaching.

I know there is no stat for this but there should be - Someone should measure the amount of time it takes a receiver from the time the ball is in his reach to the time he has it safely tucked away. Because if the measured that, Jamar Chase would lead the league by a mile. It is freakish how fast he snatches a ball out of the air and tucks it away. And he does it in heavy traffic. Guys never seem to have a breakup chance with him. It’s an important skill and Chase is amazing at it. I’m watching him run crossing routes, the ball gets near him, then the next thing I see is he’s got it tucked away, it happens that fast.

Just read a report, some reporter for the Athletic named Diana Russini. She said Joe is not close to 100% healthy, and is several weeks from getting there. Fucking sucks.

“It’s a shocking lack of attention to detail.” Coaching.

Damn, the Bears are kicking sand in the Commanders’ faces. Love it.

I’ve got eyes in my head. He’s not anywhere close to right. Normally he’s very good at moving around to evade the rush. Right now, not moving around.

Burrow just can’t throw downfield, it’s obvious. He should not be out there, and Taylor should have the backbone to do what’s best for the team and sit him.

I’m convinced Burrow can’t plant that right foot and drive the ball downfield. I’m also convince that the DCs in this league can watch tape and figure that out. Which I think is exactly why we saw the titans sending 7 guys without a second thought. I’ll wait for the reports on Burtow’s calf, if it’s the same I’ll take the cardinals and the points.

King Henry trampled us. One bright spot, our first round pick got on the stat sheet. Good to see him contributing.

That British guy who gets hired by a restaurant then comes in with his tv show and screams at everyone and throws a plate of beans on the floor - that’s who we need right now.

That last 4th down play on offense - Burrow had to bail, he was trying use Ted Karras as a human shield. Didn’t work, took a hard tackle, including getting whacked in the head. If they get the ball back, just give Burrow a rest, try Browning. Live to fight another day.

Come on, the cowboys put him on their practice squad, he’ll have plenty of free time.

That was an entertaining game to watch. Loved seeing that defense come into its own. I was really worried they just wouldn’t find it after losing Jessie Bates and Von Bell, but man they looked good last night. Offense - If Burrow never gets healthy, if he looks like that all year, we’re going to get swept by the Browns and the Steelers. He won’t be able to help out his line against Watt and Garrett who will feast on an immobile target. So basically, we need a witch doctor to come in, specifically a calf specialist witch doctor, and fix our football team.

AJ McCarron baby, the tattooed assassin. And he’s bringing wife, who on a scale of 1-10 is approximately infinity, with him!!

Holy fucking shit, YES!!

I’d guess he’s not playing. He’s injured, missed 3 weeks in preseason, tried to come back, still injured. Too much risk to play him and Browning is probably as good as Burrow in this condition.

I read Mixon was taking some snaps at QB, though that could be wildcat stuff. My guess is Burrow plays.
