It's not wise to assume.


My apologies; thought you folks might appreciate an update from the stadium.


Actually, the boundary guys weren't really who Dalton targeted.  Gilmore did give up the one long pass to Jones; though I'm not really sure the coverage could've been any better.  I generally hate the adage that a perfectly thrown ball cannot be defended, but that's the 2nd time this season I've seen it play out (the other was Amendola's insane catch against Robey in Week 2...almost identical plays really).

For the most part though, Dalton picked on the safeties and LBs, just as I said he would.

Thanks, Buffalo.

I'm hopeful that our hobbled mess can get a win over Jacksonville in London, and then have 2 weeks to get guys like Harvin, Karlos, Tyrod, and (hopefully) Sammy back into the fold before we take on Miami at home.

I wasn't really counting on having a win against Cinci to get to the postseason, but Jax and Miami are must-wins to close out the first half at 5-3, because 5 of their next 6 are on the road.  Now, there's plenty of winnable games in there (KC, NJJ, Houston, Philly, Washington), but that much travel takes its toll on any team, so health will be of utmost importance.

Charles Clay is a nice weapon, but when he is the only guy out there, I don't see much working for you guys.

You underrate the Cinci corners mightily, and you will be surprised how long your QB has to hold onto the ball until a WR comes open.

As for our offense against your defense, we don't need to score 30+ points. 20 points will win this game with how much trouble your offense will have moving the ball. It's not even about Cinci's defense being good, its about your offense being decimated with injuries. If you guys were healthy, this would be a great game.

Hopefully Tyrod gets healthy, cuz he adds a whole dimension to your offense that Manuel simply can't. Manuel could do well with more weapons on the field though, he didn't play a terrible game. If he threw a better pass on his interception, it could have been a long TD.

Your team looks like they play undisciplined football.

It's like watching the Jets of old.

Dalton never really got touched even.

Note to our D line...  you can't give that much time to QBs above Manuel's skillset.

You just can't.

Look Bandit that run by Gio was the combo of good blocking and a quick RB.  Give em' some credit.

Even if Shady/OL did that to our team I'd concede our crappy LB play and admit it.

I wouldn't say that Buffalo had most of their weapons in the first half, given that they were missing Karlos, Harvin, and Taylor, but all the same, they weren't ahead even with what they had.

No matter; they lost to a better team. It happens.
