Stripes Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Hopefully they can build on the good things from this game and get to .500 by midseason. Won't be easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwalling Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Pretty sure giving up 210 yards to the other team's tight ends is not a recipe for winning football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJJackson Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 I am always unhappy with a loss, but 4 things made me happy in that "silver lining" sense 1) Much improved pass rush 2) Andy. He is absolutely not part of the problem. 3) Oogie Boogie benched. Thank you. Put Fisher out there next week and see how it goes 4) The big one - The era of TJ Johnson begins. No, I never like to see a player hurt. No, I am not a fan of TJ Johnson despite sharing initials with him. I AM glad - very glad - that someone not named Bodine was snapping to Andy. Start getting Westerman ready at C, please. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingwilly Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 This is not anywhere near the team they had last year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcom69 Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Dalton is great, give the freaking guy sometime, and players around him and it shows. Just look at last year, with Green, Jones, Sanu, and Eifert. Guys were open so fast he never held on to the ball, his release was so fast. I miss those guys! This year it's Green and a bunch of guys. I like Boyd but he is still learning things. Dalton seems to be holding on to the ball so much longer this year, and the o-line is just not giving him time. Not to mention a defense that is giving up 24 points a game or something, it's just not good enough. They had something great going with amazing players and coaches, and they lost a big part of that.

TJJackson Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 The thing I am most sad about is that just when Andy has become elite - yes, I think he is elite now - nearly everything else has fallen apart around him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kept his head but still stood his ground. He's volatile but kept it together. Let's see how this team handles a loss to Cleveland, to determine if Tez and Pac are changed men.

COB Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Let's not get carried away. Yes, our team is playing like shit. But we've lost to the Patriots, the Steelers, the Broncos, and the Cowboys. I'm not going to look it up but they're probably all leading their divisions. Bengals should surely be favored by 5 against the Browns. Having said that, I hope Marvin retires after this year. It will leave him solidly above .500 (yes, it matters, look at the career won/loss record of Bengals coaches) and it will give us a one year jump on the new regime.

AMPHAR Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Vance Joesph will get a look to be HC once Marvin hangs it up. Marvin will be involved in the next HC hire. Back to the game what irks me about Lewis is the last points FG drive. That's classic check the box for being aggressive and play for FG. True AJ got held but it's 3rd and 2. Given the Pats momentum there should have been 0 consideration for FG at that point. Run 2 plays if necessary to get 2 yards or play defense with favorable position if failed. Makes little sense to get 3, then let Pats start off with a kick off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted October 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Speaking of field position, WTF happened to Kevin Huber? He had what, 30 and 36 yard punts yesterday? His overall 38.2 yard average is his worst since 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our kicking coverage on teams has been below average all season. That's the part of the team that has had the most personnel change this year, too.
