Game Day Thread Official Game Day Thread- Bengals @ Pats

[nextsuperstar]

This is just pathetic. Need to something to spark the offense.

Tyquan misjudged that.

Ball also might have died

?? It fell right into his hands. Starting to worry about TT.

 

[Thelonious]

Kind of like when the team is playing well, the trolls disappear.

You mean honest commenters stop offering criticism when none is warranted? Sounds reasonable to me.

Mac’s not the biggest problem. If they bench him, they might as well trade him in the offseason and start over.

Initially I worried that benching him would ruin his confidence, but his confidence has been diminishing with every failed series. I think we are at the point where leaving him in is just as likely to break him as taking him out.

I expected more from the defense. It seems like their deep zone is spotting the Bengals 6-8 yards underneath on every first down. I think Steve Belichick gets too much grief on this board, but I’m also tired of them dropping their best pass rushers into coverage and leaving an 8 yard cushion in the zone defense.

Was really hoping for more fight from both ends. Calling a timeout to kneel was chicken ****. When the offense looked to be putting their first drive together not going for it on 4th and two is cowardly play calling. I understand trying to play conservative and trusting your defense but when the other team is scoring on every drive why not try something to extend your drive. A fake punt could have been perfect in that situation.

This team needs huge changes in the offseason.

C'mon Thornton.
A little short, but he has to catch that.

A little short lol

That was about as catchable a deep ball as you’ll get in this league

You can knock Thornton for not making the catch without the underhanded shot at Mac

There’s plenty to tear apart about Macs game today, but that throw certainly was not one of them

Pick your battles

You mean It deflated

No, I mean trolls.

Even the throw to Bourne was a bad play by Mac, because he had all the time in the world. Are you telling me there was nowhere else to throw to?

Maybe it's on Patricia, do we not have Jonnu or Rham leaking out of the backfield?

No reason for a low % throw there

And it was under thrown. Mac’s lack of an arm is a huge detriment

 

[PatriotSpy]

Kelce might be having his best year

I agree. Having a great weapon can make a qb look good. I'm just saying if you give Mahomes, Burrow's weapons, the guy is throwing 50 touchdowns plus.

[Real fan 02]

Just think of all the trade possibilities

In all actuality, I hope Joe Brady hangs 50, the message needs to be LOUD and CLEAR.

 

[Twentytothree]

TACKLED INSIDE THE 20. LETS F***ING GOOOOO

How's your optimism for this game doing?

 

[archstanton543]

At least Mac isn't yapping and whining, right people who are upset that he's doing that?

 

[Rob0729]

For all the talk about the setbacks of Jones in year two, I wonder if people are sleeping on how the coaching staff are not properly developing their rookies in Thornton and Strange.

 

[Trolltolls]

That was an amazing throw I cant believe our 2nd rounder dropped that

 

[Guts]

I agree. Having a great weapon can make a qb look good. I'm just saying if you give Mahomes, Burrow's weapons, the guy is throwing 50 touchdowns plus.

If you give Burrow Mahomes Oline he throws 50 TD plus. They're both great

 

[A.C Vegas]

I do not know why the pass to Borne was not PI as for the Thornton pass lots of drops on both teams today cold days will do that

 

[Ian]

And it was under thrown. Mac’s lack of an arm is a huge detriment

That was a great throw. I'd kill him for the other misfires, but he dropped that one right in. Thornton looked like he panicked a little, and that's usually what happens.

 

[Real fan 02]

The " business decisions " are being made..

 

[Thelonious]

No, I mean trolls.

So you imagine.
