That kid can ball.OTOH, Xavien Howard was damn good being (mostly) left on an island against Cooks last night. Two picks and a couple other PDs, plus a couple of misses by Brady ...
Brady is clearly distracted due to his ongoing feud with Josh McDaniels.
I try to keep things in perspective and stay away from superlatives.
That said, Dwayne Allen may have the worst hands of any human being on the planet earth. I am supremely confident that a kangaroo would be have better success handling the cotton soft lobs that he can’t catch. When he does actually manage to secure a football in his arm, it’s only after bobbling it and tripping over himself. Somehow he was on the field as a wide receiver throughout the game. Malcolm Mitchell must be really hurt.
I agreed with Gruden' suggestion (THE APOCALYPSE IS UPON US!) that the intent may have been to simulate a fumble and get a Miami player to touch the ball first without recovering it. If that's the case, it might've helped if the ball had been made to bounce a bit instead of just rolling along the ground.
I don't want to be too hard on him but I'm expecting more out of Cooks than 1 catch.
It was a systematic failure last night. Line, Tom and Cooks not winning his battles.It's hard to be a downfield receiver when your quarterback can't throw an accurate pass over 5 yards to save his life. Brady deserves the blame for last night, I just hope it was the once a season bad game and not something indicative of a chronic injury.
Why?Who said Bengals? I don't care how many championships we have won, we can vent. We lost today. We didn't win. I agree with you on the stupidity and thats why I have been agreeing with posts written by Bruins in this thread, but we can vent at least.
Agree. That kid can ball.
But I expect Cooks to raise his game in those situations.
the bomb to cooks that webster int was pretty accurate except xman was glued to cookie all nightIt's hard to be a downfield receiver when your quarterback can't throw an accurate pass over 5 yards to save his life.

Hard to grow confidence if you're ignored/marginalised.. these things go both way.
VV and MM are both seen in locker room more last weeks. Hopefully both are ready to go and BB waits with designation (which has to be done on first day practicing - an anti-rule to me btw) to see who's needed more..
Seeing how they gave up 183 yards on the ground vs BUF and Drake pounded the rock last night, I'm wondering if Valentine still makes more sense.After seeing Cooks get shutdown last night, I'm firmly in the MM camp.
Agree. Hes better at cap management and helping Ernie with analytics.Why is Richards still on this team...I know he has a high football I.Q but damn Belichick. He can’t play in the NFL
I agree with you that last night's game must have given PIT some ideas. They already feature a heavy run game and split Bell out wide at times. Lots of RB screens. He’s had 9 or more catches in 3/4 past games.

Well the wind chill was 54 degrees.
