how about the most important 1 they won

Well there is that I guess, lol

 

[redseat]

Play calling both sides of the ball

McDaniels getting "exposed?" Or just a bad day? by him and the players?

 

[redseat]

Sprained MCL for Will

It seems that while Stevenson got some reps, we weren’t willing to just give him the ball and say go. Did he touch it in any of those first and goal situations?

OMG what an up and down game!!!

More downs then ups unfortunately

 

[Yankee Traveler]

I don't think so. I think they had a game plan that failed. The Cincy run D played better than anticipated IMO. Drake was off for some reason? I think they went in with a vanilla plan as to not show all their cards for the rest of the year.

Stevenson was invisible and Diggs not much better. Thankfully we had Henry and Pops.

Hollins had a nice game minus the bone head rub in the EZ. You can simply put an elbow out just enough to slow the defender a hair which gives plenty of time for Henry to get more than enough separation.

Short yardage run game needs a lot of help. No Tonga didn't help. Not long before we see Tonga carry one into the EZ I think.

Play calling in the Red Zone was god awful! Now was that more because the Bengals D stepped up or the OL just couldn't keep a hand on the DL (without getting penalized?)

 

[Yankee Traveler]

Mini bye week and those extra days off maybe the reason

Exactly my thought.

 

[Yankee Traveler]

Many injuries today are just crazy I know some of y'all didn't want Campbell so you're probably secretly smiling. Having lowe in there is scary though

I was definitely on the Jeanty at 4 and some leftover in the second at LT. Aireontae Ersery has been playing well in Texas.

But I was wrong and have admitted it. Campbell, Henderson was the right choice.

 

[Yankee Traveler]

Remember when they used to just send a running back diving in the air worked almost every time it was just jump over the line

Brady was the best at the QB sneak.

What is the time line on this

 

[redseat]

What is the time line on this

I haven't heard anything in regards to a time line unfortunately

What is the time line on this

Until the MRI results are in, nobody knows. If it's a grade 3 sprain, he'll avoid IR.
Grade 2 still has a range of recovery time but a big man playing football? My guess 3 weeks or even IR
Grade 1 could be out for the season.

Reports seem to show he won't be grade 1 or 3.....

 

[Southieinnc]

So I'm struggling to find the positives from this game.
+ Carlton Davis
+ Marcus Jones
++ Hunter Henry

-Play calling both sides of the ball
-Drake Maye just wasn't himself not stepping into his throws, lots of missed passes
-Intensity was there any?

Same here. Glad to have been wrong.

Yep, and should've been a lot more. Guess, I've just gotten spoiled watching his progression then having so many bad throws. He wasn't stepping into his throws that caused a lot to be way off target.
