Well, true enough about Gay. I agree that McFadden may also be better moved to safety. So basically we have a number of CBs who would play better...
I like this analysis. I've thought before that we should move Gay to safety, given that pace is often his issue. He can blitz well enough, and is...
:roflmao: :applaud:
The issue is what the fines are for. This is where it's getting confused, I think. For example, is it to improve player safety? As Clark has said,...
I don't think that's quite right. It's not like the more violent sports get paid more money. Rugby Union was amateur until the 1990's. Soccer and...
I seem to remember this getting talked about a year or two ago. (I remember thinking at the time, if there are any statistics about how well Ben...
Gay had an awful game, but he has improved significantly this year. Not, improving from where he was at is not necessarily impressive - but...
It's too early to look for a replacement for Ben - if someone is of the calibre to do that, then their agents will likely be too greedy to let...
While that's true, it remains harsh that on that one play, Hines is knocked out of the game, the refs re-watch it seventeen times on instant...
True enough. Perhaps the fire was too stoked? Too much going for the big hits rather than playing sensibly in coverage. That said, we do need to...
Division record will come into it, though. There would be nothing worse than going, say 11-5 and still missing out. I expect the game to be...
I said this a while back. It's like the fines are the NFL's way of saying "yeah, we missed this, sorry." Glad that the fines were consistent...
I agree with this, though I think Tomlin has often been much more daring in situations before. Perhaps there's a bit of overthinking the game...
:this!: I'll be honest, I hadn't really heard of Pitta before this game...
:this: There was general weak play by the CBs against Balitmore. Gay has been playing the best football of his career this season, Keenan Lewis...
I agree completely with you that the pressure just isn't as good as before. QBs aren't terrified of our linebackers anymore. We could blame the...
I'm not sure if it was a run-pass thing. There just seemed to be no rhythm out there, until Ben got the no-huddle going. Yes, the run game would...
As I've said a few times before - the Lewis hit was there, on the replay that they were reviewing for Ward's catch. Now, I know they can't...
I think we underestimate the Bengals at our own risk. Their defense is very capable. They've been hitting harder and better play reading than in...
Ineffective blitzing (bar Harrison and Keisel). We were also telegraphing a lot of the blitzes - not enough smoke and mirrors.
