Apparently our secondary is going to need to cover for 15 seconds on pass plays

Lol at the refs calling that a catch... Must have thought it was college rules

Yep, this is the kind of hand where I realize we aren't even close to a playoff team... We might lose by 50

Had no business winning that game. TY Freddie

Of course we choke

Wow, just got to the bar and saw they are up 4-1. Crazy 1st period against a very good team

These next 2 games dictate whether we are buyers or sellers. Win the next 2, probably buyers. 1-1 is a maybe. 0-2 and we definitely aren't buying unless it's a player swap or player under contract for multiple years

By the looks of it, Dallas may have F'd up with that number 1 pick with how awful Flagg looked yesterday

Would be surprised if it ends here. I think they are going to uncover a huge gambling ring. It's funny - when Gilbert Arenas got arrested a few months ago, he said he was going to snitch out others. I'm curious if Billups and Scary Terry do the same

Impressed how balanced the scoring was. I know the nets are garbage, but still happy to see us win

I have no problem that we let him go. He definitely didn't want to be here. Also helps when you have Lawrence, Carter, and Thibodeaux on the dline also. Highly doubt Burns has faced many double teams this year.

Because his Dline owned Brady in 2 superbowls and David Tyree made a 1 in a million helmet catch... And like others said, his last name

While true, lets keep in mind that some awful turnovers from Bryce has pretty much either given opposition points or given them a short field to then score points. JAX, AZ, Miami, and Dallas (Tet's fault) game all had at least 1 turnover that pretty much let the opposing team score or start at our 25 or closer. Let's not even get into the punt coverage debacle of the Pats game... Are the D's stats inflated by weaker offenses so far - probably. But the points allowed is misleading - offense and ST have played a big role in a good chunk of the points allowed.

I thought Brown was dominant from day 1 - at least at stopping the run. He has improved a lot from his rookie year with his pass rushing. Love the weekly clips we get of DB ragdolling some poor olineman as he tackles the RB

Sounds like the type of stats that DC will see and say "F it, lets give Dalton 60 passes in the game" while leaving Rico on the bench and giving Chuba maybe 5 carries in the game...

I agree and that has been one of Bryce's best qualities - he has stayed healthy. Bad luck for him on the injury of maneuvering the sack and the Jets guy stepping on his ankle trying to change direction.

Sounds like our social media team needs to return the favor by showcasing whoever it was (Ransom?) on our team absolutely obliterating Fields helmet-to-helmet because of his late slide

Yeah, I am just looking at our pass blocking stats and the Texans stats being similar, but our oline is way better than theirs IMO. I feel like there are at least 5 times a game 3+ guys come free on a pass rush for opposing teams vs. the Texans. I can't recall too many times I have seen multiple lineman get beat/blow their blocking assignment on the same play this season for us.

The Texans have failed Stroud miserably. Going into the draft, the biggest con on Stroud is his ability to handle pressure via pass rush. The Texans have turnstiles at all 5 sports on their oline and at no point has Houston thought it is important to draft or get a good oline in free agency. Put Stroud on the Colts (or any team with a good oline) and he would be lighting it up out there

I need to look more into how pass block win rate is calculated. Like, if the other team gets a coverage sack because nobody is open and the guy I am blocking gets free to pressure/sack the QB after 5 seconds, is that considered a pass block "loss"? I honestly don't think our pass blocking has been that bad this year (outside of Nijman at LT week 1 and Zavala for 2 out of 3 games). For the most part, teams aren't getting by with a 4 man rush and are having to blitz. Looks like teamrankings says we are 10th in sacks allowed (1.7/game) - and that isn't because we have a QB getting the ball out at an elitely quick rate.

Hopefully we watch film of what Atl did to beat the Bills, because they completely shut down their offense outside of 2 drives

Dude... we looked like ass the 1st 3 quarters and came back against a prevent Cardinals defense that literally had their entire secondary get hurt in the game. That wasn't a we almost won kind of game - it was an Arizona almost pulled off the choke of the decade

Unfortunately it is a bad time for us to get the Bills - they have a very good record after a bye week and they are getting back like 3 or 4 guys on defense. I think it gets ugly - I'll go 31 - 20 them

Damn, seems like we just can't score that equalizer...
