Week #8 - Bring on the Stillers!!

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I blame everyone. Terrible team game today.

A lot of this is on KS. Pathetic play calling. Bland offense with not enough play action or roll outs.

KS has been figured out by all the good defensive coordinators. The Steelers mostly stifled our running game today. The Woods defense is an embarrassment except for one or 2 very good players making an occasional play.
 
I’ll say this:

Today is proof of why I hate stats like “When a QB’s team is trailing in the 4th, here’s how often he brings them back.”

Baker had a great series on not just 1, but 2 potential game winning drives, and the result will still just fuel the fire that he somehow can’t bring you back or deliver when needed.

I'll pile on: we're often a dumb and undisciplined team on both sides of the ball, and that includes the coaching. Lots of talent. Stupid, careless decisions all around.

^^^^^
This team behaves like the Freddie Kitchens era

You can never blame a loss on one player, but if you had to put this loss on one player it would be on Jarvis Landry not doing basic stuff that any average receiver should do. 1) hold on to the football, and 2) catch the ball when it hits both your hands.

I gotta say higgins, because we had a chance if not for that fucking false start.
 
The team has looked very poor the entire season so far. But we still have a chance if the Jets can pull it out, to be level with Cincy if we beat them next week.
 
Our QB play is too mediocre for our receivers to make literally 0 plays, ever. We really miss DPJ, who is somehow the most reliable target.

Does Mayfield need to hit every receiver directly in the chest for you to think he's done his job?

Nah. But he had some momentum killing plays in the first half, including some really poor throws when we needed just 1 yard in 3 tries.

Exactly. Context is lost in statistics, especially when it's a short sample size.

WRs were awful, Baker wasn't great but I thought he was decent. KS had a terrible game IMO and didn't capitalize on play-action the way he could have.

Three times. In the 4th quarter.

Yep. I’d love to know the numbers this year as to how much play action they’re running relative to other teams. It doesn’t feel like nearly as much as a year ago, and the run game has been just as effective.
