Hurst, Bates, and Perine

[J24]

All had good games today.
We got silch from our backup RBs and we got silch from our TEs.
Hill did have an INT but Bates had 2 plus a forced fumble.

Point being maybe we shouldn't have taken these players for granted.

[THE PISTONS]

Umm...ok.

I would have loved to keep all 3. Didn't work out.

Hurst had 41 yards receiving and a 4 yard TD. Hardly Travis Kelce.

This.

We didn’t lose this game because of a TE, a RB2, and a Safety. The Browns have kicked our ass even with those guys.

It’s a Zac Taylor/Joe Burrow problem. The Browns completely own both of them.

The love Perine gets now that he's gone fascinates me. Some people blamed him for the SB.

The one announcer was talking about how he interviewed Zac and asked him about the Browns dominance...and noted that Zac had really no insight into why. That was telling.

If Zac has a bad day, Burrow can at least sometimes make up for it. If Burrow has a bad day, Zac is lost. I said the words "f*cking dumbass" at least 40 times today.

Well, many times last year the offense would have a slow start...the 2nd or 3rd quarter Burrow throw a 15 yard pass to Chase and he take it to the house. Or a 40 yard throw to Tee that he makes a crazy catch on.

I think a lot of it really does come down to them just being a bad matchup on paper. Elite pass rusher, elite run game/OL, and good CB’s to take away what we do best. Why they’re so much better at executing their game plan against us than they are against everyone else idk.

I think Stefanski outcomes Zac too...atleast defense of offense.

[Big_Ern]

To be fair, Irv had a lot of 3rd down receptions ... albeit well short of the first down marker

100% Accurate.

I expect us to get back to form, but the lack of what were oddly consistent miracles in the form of saying "Well, we will get 7 right before the half thanks to Chase" and not getting it this time reminded me a bit of how in 2009 we just magically pulled wins out at the last second and then in 2010 we just magically pulled every defeat out of the same hat.

I'll admit, I was waiting, no expecting, for that insane Burrow to Chase miracle we all know is coming to appear and turn the tide into one where we just steamrolled the rest of the game and came out stinkin' like a rose.

Our safeties played fine.

Mixon averaged over 4 yards, Evans averaged 6.

Burrow could have been throwing to Gronk, Moss and Rice today with Marshall Faulk at RB2, wouldnt have mattered.

I respect John Oates, but if Darryl Hall isn't brining a hit to the album they're probably missing the top 40.

How is it hard to understand? He was one of the better third down backs last season. Rushing, receiving, and blocking.

Great now I'll be singing Rich Girl for the next hour or so... my girlfriend thanks you 

PS... Hall and Oates rules. That is all.

Agreed.  And I'll admit I know that Oates led two solo compositions that hit #28 and #30 with "Back Together Again" and "How Does It Feel To Be Back."

Yup missing those three was the difference today. It was obvious to anyone. If they had two of the three they win a close one, and all three they would have flipped the score most likely.

Hill did just fine especially for the $$ we saved.. We thought we had Perine signed, he jumped and really you can;t judge todays game on RB backups.. they only carried 4 times, though Evans had 6 yard avg..  Mixon had a solid game that is what counts.. Burrow was so off, it would not have mattered if hurst played or not
