Davidson Deac II

Yeah, I find the lack of use of Foreman baffling.

The more we use him, the more other teams will focus on him. Today, the Aints were focused on CMC and DJ. That is part of the reason Shenault burned them in the fourth qtr. It won't always be this easy for him. But maybe that will open things up more for the other receivers.

And to the running backs/offensive line (run blocking only) who had a good day against a good defense.

Fortunately, the other side had Jameis Winston.

So close and yet so far.

They have no timeouts, and if they get the ball back, it will be with around 35 seconds and no timeouts. Even a Matt Rhule coached team probably won't screw that up. Emphasis on probably.

Defense was bad on the first two plays, but that last one was just a heck of a catch.

It's going to come down to an onside kick.

If we get a first down here, it might be ball game.

We really just need a couple of first downs to dramatically improve our chances to win this one. But we are going to be predictable here. Didn't need the penalty.

Had a family lunch event today, so I was listening to the game on the radio. Delhomme didn't have an issue with scheme, but he said that the entire offense looks out of sync. Receivers and qb just aren't communicating well. And I agree with him. It could be a result of new qb and new coaching assistants, but if we don't fix it, its going to be a long season. Not every team we play is going to be as bad on offense as the Saints are.

Need to line Brown up at tight end. That was a heck of a catch.

Case in point, Joe Mixon of Cincy is only in for 73% of Bengal offensive snaps, but actually has almost 30 more actual snaps than CMC does. The numbers by the OP speak more to the inefficiency of our offense than the wear and tear on CMC.

The stats may be a little skewed because we are in the bottom five of the league in number of snaps. Not much point in rotating when you are constantly getting three and outs.

Baker is better than Darnold. At this point, Darnold with have three or four interceptions. And interceptions outweigh just about any other stat. Not saying we should keep him.

We have been 1-15 twice, so no. Might get there by the end of the season though, if things don't improve. I have to admit this reminds me a little of the 2001 season, where we had a series of close games and that we found a way to lose. And then the team kind of gave up and got blown out the last two games as the team gave up.

The Browns blew a 13-point lead to the Jets.

Jalen Hurts might get 300 yards of passing before the 4th quarter.

I agree for the most part. But sometimes, the change has to be done regardless.

I would say that its more like 75%

Not sure I would say it yet. Horne has still only played five games. And some said the same thing regarding Ridley and DJ Moore but eventually, taking DJ turned out to be the right choice.

It seems to me that with last years qb picks, Fields, Lance and the NYJ pick are all three whiffs, although that could change. Still not sure about Lawrence either.

The coaching staff has little trust in the passing game right now. Not sure if its him, the oline, the receivers, or all three. Or perhaps the staff is just incompetent.

At some point this year, Chicago's coaching staff is going to have to start letting fields throw the ball.

We blitz a lot. We just aren't very good at it.
