    This article hints that we should look for a bounce back from Barron? I saw things last week that make me doubt if a bounce back is possible. I saw him repeatedly giving up and walking after a play went the other direction. This tells me the guys heart and motor are questionable and that isn't something you bounce back from.

    Didn't L.J. Forte get cut? He knows the defense. :shrug:

    If he does not perform well, bench him. Put someone else in. Hopefully Gilbert III but likely Tyler Matakevich.

    Yup, they did. I was kind of hoping we'd bring him back in... Oh well. Would like to see Gilbert get a few snaps. Barron playing every down has been a disaster.

    Well Barron did bounce back. Good game. So did our new te. So did our kid qb. So did samuels. So did conner. O-line. Defense. OC. Oh ye of little faith. super bowl probably not but this team will keep getting better. Lots of young or new parts. 3 points allowed. 8 sacks. Give it time folks.:cool:

    I'm going to say nothing will surprise me this season Mac. Just the weird games we have seen so far. Heck if not for some special teams play and knocking their QB out of the game, the Patriots had their hands full with the Bills, the Bills! I saw BA lay a hurting on the Rams defense, the consensus SB pick Chiefs get battled to a stand still in Detroit and just some wacky stuff happening in this league this year so a playoff run to the Championship who knows

    Buffalo defense is for real. Stafford looked good and so did his receivers. They got hosed on a couple of calls or they beat kc. We start playing like last night and we could do damage. Even #2 said with a couple of full weeks of practice we are capable. vannett made a lot of difference. He blocked in the middle, outside and downfield. As they say when the back of the defenders helmet is facing you let the receiver adjust and he and mason did just that on the long first down. Barron and Bush were quite active last night.

    Don't forget the Bengals have been in every game this year. Red threw for over 400 yards the first week. Let this team start to mesh together and they are capable. Hopefully it starts a run.:cool:

    They have been in every game this year prior to last night. Red threw for 422 yards week one. They are not as bad as we made them look.:cool:

    I was happy to see Barron step up last night but he still scares me. I saw several plays last night where he just walked if the play went the other way! Even the big fat guys chase plays just in case! He needs to hustle until the whistle!

    Barron couldn't handle being replaced by dirty red.

    Ok we will. You can't just pick and choose the matchup you think we fail at to make yourself feel better in saying we are bad. Why be a fan? The first three weeks we had the hard games. We saw how Baltimore looked when the competition got better and they have their starting qb. It's if you want them to fail, so you can have a told you so moment. What a fan. It should be fan for sometimes. :cool:

    I've been a fan since I was 14 years old Now I am 74 so I have been a fan a lot longer than you buddy, I don't want them to fail but I am honest enough to realize how bad this team is right now. You be all over yourself with how everything is going to be great. That is you opinion. It's wrong, but it is your opinion. So have a nice day in your little dream world. By the way, I don't need a told you so moment with someone like you.

    I can't comment on the SF game as I didn't see it, but I watched Barron a lot last night after reading all the negative comments. I thought he played well last night made some solid tackles showed some hustle and was around the ball on most plays.

    Great idea. After the health problems I have had over the past year some days are more than just bad, they are very bad and yesterday was one of the very bad. No apologies needed. We are on the same side rooting for the same thing (#7).
