Didn't move out of the pocket, no one anywhere near it, and that angle made it look like it didn't even reach the LOS.

They checked with refs in NY office booth and they disagreed with you I am sorry

Bengals will get to face a back up QB? Great that always goes well

We should have kept Gio. Good hands, speed and a good blocker.

The TE was on the end of the line he was eligible.

Who is their backup? Please don't be a rookie, I don't want them to throw for 600 yards.

If our defense cannot defend extremely basic underneath passes it is all the more ridiculous that our offense cannot ever seen to run simple drags and slants.

Considering we've been averaging like 4.5 1st half points, I'll take it. But we've got to get back to being aggressive.

The Jets get the ball after halftime. We can’t let them score.

so whos afraid of Mike White coming in 2nd half? be honest

Both defenses stepping things up.. Maybe 3rd half gets the O back on point..

I'm not sure about that. I think he wasn't running how the play was blocked in the preseason causing some holds. But he's good catching out of the backfield and might be a little smoother transitioning from catch to run than Mixon and perine.

If we go 0-4 against backups to start this season I’m going to lose all faith in this team. Yea I consider Trubinsky a back up.

Is he?  

I would love to see a fast burst back.  Mixon ain't it.

I don't think those plays were designed with Mixon dropping balls right in his hands.

Huff and puff and blow our house down again? I doubt it..

If they insist on these stretch run plays then they need a faster RB because it is taking Mixon too long to get to the edge.

Tua is back out for the 2nd half in Miami anyway, so he'll throw for 600 yards instead 

Not a world beating first half, but can't be unhappy with a two-possession lead. Burrow needs to complete more passes

Trubisky isn’t a backup.

Teddy Bridgewater

Their backup is Mike white.
