I didn't think we would win exactly, but wanted to see this team do some good things. I didn't expect to be winning with 3 seconds to go. It sucks we lost, but I still think this team will be in the hunt during the playoffs.

12 targets, 4 catches to WR not chase. Mike G had a good game, but it’s Burton or bust from a depth perspective.

Other than that, I loved watching this game and expected us to lose, but we had their ass. We all know we scare those Chiefs and
it was evident. Now Burrow is looking much better and not quite himself, for the most part our OL played pretty damn good against a
great front, our RB's have explosiveness and balance, our TE's look good, and honestly Ja'Marr had a point about the drop tackle since
the sumbitches created that rule they ought to call it.

I didn't like how Ja'Marr complained obviously, but I loved how Joe Burrow grabbed him and showed his leadership and I honestly just
loved this game. McPherson cannot go missing extra points either. I think we go on a big time run after this loss.

Oh yeah, another thing, great one handed interception by CTB. Frickin' awesome man.

I can't wait for Mims to get back honestly. Trent Brown is a lazy fat slob that gets pushed around by guys 100lbs less than him. No hussle either..

The sideline reporter was right behind him on the sidelines and she overheard him saying it was a hip drop tackle.

Maybe he showed better pass defense than Battle did in camp. If Battle was the coaches choice, he would have been out there on those occasions. One can argue why an extra CB wasn't called for in the 4th down scenario 

[puddycat]

Marvin Harrison Jr. week1: 1 catch 4 yds. Week2: 4 catches 130 yards 2 TDs.

It's amazing what can happen when a team recognizes who its best players are and uses them in the game.

I do think the change of pace back has a good chance at having better yards per carry. But we all saw his explosiveness against the Colts last year. I think once you see that you need to try and scheme ways to get him a chance to show it. I don't really feel like we've done that yet. Like if he catches some of those TE routes he might break one.

Speed kills, putting Ja'marr, Tee, Burton, and Chase Brown out on the field - defense is gonna have problems. We have too many slow players! Why win the hard way? 

They can double chase all game, are they going to also bracket Burton and leave higgins 1 on 1? 


Even if you do that, Chase Brown has an open field.

Babe Ruth did not strike out most of his at bats.He had  11,123 at bats.He struck out 1300 times.So he struck out only 11% of the time.

According to Lapham, I was close to correct ....he was punched in the throat on two separate occasions. He told the officials to watch for it, and when it happened that last time and nothing was done, he lost his cool. This was on the Mike McConnell Show on WLW this morning.

The Chiefs are starting to play cheap shot defense like the Steelers.

I don't see any punch in the neck on that tackle.

For this to work, Chase brown and Burton need opportunities. But I agree, FWIW.

Something is going on with Battle.
He has 1 defensive snap this season, but 30 ST snaps.

Watch as they roll towards the camera from the end zone shot. What I saw live was a couple of shoves to the shoulder, then a push to the helmet area after the play was blown dead. I said it in my earlier post. Dave, I'm sure, got the information from the locker room after the game. I didn't see the other instances, but I did see extra curriculars after the catch before the personal foul penalty. That is why I thought he was upset the instant it happened, and why I didn't understand the hip drop angle.

Possibly, but I think they were just trying to get in his head....which, now that I think about it is a Stooler tactic, LoL....which finally worked apparently.

.....but everyone else is saying hip drop....which I didn't see, so who knows? I think the ref said that's what he was arguing, so I would take his word over Lap's.

Their DBs have been aggressive and handsy for a few seasons now.

I do think the sideline reporter probably can mistake ja'mar saying "punch in the neck" with "hip drop" since ja'marr has an accent lol. I don't think Ja'marr would be this upset at Zac about a hip drop tackle, even though he hasn't been "paid" yet even with that 50 million insurance, punch in the neck is AJ Green retaliation stuff. I'm more likely to believe he was punched in the neck.

I would not have minded if Ja'marr punched Andy Reid in the neck post game and asked how it felt. Suspended for the year.

This happens with all the greats, you try to make Shaq get mad. It's part of the sport unfortunately.

I watched the endzone view this AM and I just see the shove on the shoulder pad, but I can't see the left hand, maybe he pushed at Chase's neck again to get up, because that is when Chase got mad.

Why wouldn't Chase say this out loud to a reporter though? Dude is punching me in the neck. If he hides it, it only means we also do sneaky stuff, which we need to do anyway lol. Belichick said if you aren't trying to cheat, you aren't trying to win.

Kobe said "it's not a foul if the ref don't see it."

The 1st month of the season for about the last 5 years, we are a bad team.

Then, we get things together and start winning.

From what I see, we have about an average NFL roster. We're not elite. We're not bad. Should win anywhere from 7 to 10 games.
