Game Day Thread Official Post Game Thread- Bengals beat the Pats

[Ross12]

Ted Johnson killing BB on postgame ... once again. He's saying BB needs to change his attitude and is not a good motivator. Says the players are "worn down" by him. Then Matt Cassel challenges him.

Ted needs to rein in the agenda.

I would actually say this game kind of proves the opposite is true. After their massive gaffe last week and then getting down 22-0 to #1 seed contender early here, they kept their heads down and kept grinding away on both sides of the ball and were a poor individual play by Rhamondre away from completing a huge comeback. That tells me he managed to keep them motivated despite all of these negative events.

It would be fun to ruin the Fins’ season like they’ve done to us before.

I was working and couldn't watch the game. Who fumbled it away?

Same guy who started the lateral-fest at the end of the last game.

So if the Pats make a good play the opponent did something bad. The pats make a bad play that let's be real should have been called dead the opponent made a good play?

I smell hater

I'm not even sure what you said makes sense but how am I a hater by pointing out obvious mistakes by either team? For instance, was there a Cincinnati miscommunication on the pick-6 or not?

This game made me feel more positive about Mac Jones and about Bourne as well. Hopefully the offseason will allow Mac time to reset his internal clock and not be quite as panicked so quickly in the pocket - and hopefully the front office can put some better linemen (with better coaching) in front of him to keep his clock that way.

There's no question that Mac has been sped up. He's leaving the pocked a full beat early at too many times. On the other hand, watching that line is like watching the Bucs' line (and several others this season), in that there is just nothing that a QB can do because the defenses are getting pressure way too quickly to give the QB any chance to even make post-snap reads.

This team should never have ditched the FB. This team should never have wasted the money on a RT who has underachieved and has played as if he wanted to be anywhere but in New England. This team should never have moved away from an offense that was so Mac-friendly. This team should never have put Patricia as the O.C. or Judge as the QB coach. This team should never have traded Mason away. And this team should never have lessened Bourne's role. Those things combined to pretty much guarantee that this season was going to produce a crappy offense.

With luck, and with much more intelligent front office decision-making, next year will be a better one.

But it was more the refs not doing their job then rham screwing up

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

He could score his rookie year. It is 80 percent coaching 20 percent mac

More like 50/50... He's missed a lot of throws

Stevenson

The other half of the Las Vegas Lateral.

You can't RISK THAT, we've been there before.

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

Today the offense score 12 points even though the final score was 18 if Mac defenders missed that

 

[Tunescribe]

Biggest problem today.
The game is 60 minutes long, not 30.

Then the Patriots would've lost 22-0. Right.

Because you called every play the pats made luck and ignoring that rham should have been down. And ignoring Judon made the play on Chase. Again if the pats make a good play it was the opponents mistake the pats make a bad play the opponents were good then

 

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

Looks like for at least this year we are the 2022 version of the Jets....pulling losses out of wins....

 

[Triumph]

Yes, but those bad throws were because of Patricia, the OL and lousy receivers.

The 2nd half was all Mac 100%.

So which QB is worth looking at??

I will

So which QB is worth looking at??

i need to finish the evaluations,
Obviously a strong arm is great but that’s not everything that makes a signal caller.

My friend Kevin and I we break down factors such as what does the QB do with his eyes when he’s in the pocket how’s their internal clock when the defense is closing in.
What are they seeing pre snap? How do they adjust when the defense shifts last second.
Can they manipulate the backers and safeties,
Are they too aggressive?
Are they playing smart with a lead?
Are they making the receivers better?
Is the completion percentage telling the whole story?
When they turn the ball over is the blame purely on their shoulders?
How do their team mates view them?
How do they carry themselves off the field.
Have they done played injured?
Can they change the way the ball is delivered, put it on a rope when needed or lob it gently when that’s the best change for success.
How do they react when they get drilled?
Have they overcome off field and or on field adversity.

I look at every position under a microscope but the Quarterback position being the most important is the one we put the most time into.

Based on what I’ve seen unless Mac drastically improves next season which isn’t saying much he’s not the guy.

Do I think an offensive minded head coach or a real QB Whisperer can fix all his issues?
I believe they can fix some of them but not enough for him to be a true franchise QB. He is a stop gap til you find your guy.

A loss 22-0 counts as much as one lost 22-18.

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

Lets do the dance next week and hope for a different result.

 

[GaryfromTO]

The point I am making, is the offence only showed up in the 2nd half. When you don't cross mid-field until the last play of the 3rd quarter, you can't expect to win too many games.

 

[Bruins29]

Do you have MAC10 on ignore? That might be why you didn't see what I responded to. He quoted you saying that Brady couldn't even save this team and he resonded with his obligatory troll job in every single thread about him losing to Purdy on the 49ers. I told him to shut up.

Just an FYI. I just saw a shut up in a post with nobody quoted and I don’t have mac10 on ignore

 

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

It would be fun to ruin the Fins’ season like they’ve done to us before.

The Packers have a serious chance to help with that first...I think GB wins
