    Jake missed too many plays for sure. That first half was awful...

    Can't blame the D, they did alright. Although after the Walker TD, when we really needed a stop, they couldn't get it - even on 3rd and a mile. Still though, won't put this on them...

    Locker is just a damn tease, night and day difference between week 1 and week 2; first half and second half... He's just so inconsistent. And guess the age ol saying still applies, you can't teach accuracy... He actually had time in the pocket a lot and couldn't make use of it. Someone also needs to remind him that he can still run here and there...

    Nate also looks like he's starting to show signs of age.

    Even with all that, Pollard gets that INT and its a different ball game. I'm not saying its his fault but we needed that play today. But i really didn't like his stupid sideline penalty that gave them a first on fourth down.

    4 years in and still has accuracy issues.... over throws and throwing behind the receiver. Those are rookie mistakes and it should not be constant with a 4th year guy!

    I really wanted him to be the guy but after his second season I started thinking that it wouldn't be possible. Now, I get that we have all kinds of new stuff this year- coaches, owners, etc- but unless he just stops making any mistakes after game 3 it couldn't hurt to go QB by Committee.

    well we play cincy next week so he better play better than today or we don't stand a chance since cincy looks real good.

    I'm not defending Jake, he straight up sucked today. At the same time, your receivers have to make those catches. Bail your struggling QB out and give him some confidence and momentum.

    This game was super disappointing. But it's over, we took the L. On to next week.

    Little silver lining, it was a non division/confrence game. We also have 14 other games.


    Also, Casey is a damn dog.

    I dont disagree with your point, its just how the game went.


    1st Half

    Pass, Run, Pass, Pass, Run, Pass, Run, Run, Pass, Pass, Run, Run, Run, Scramble, Pass

    Then we get the ball back at 1:02 left, and obviously they are all passes.


    Passes: 7
    Run: 7
    Scramble: 1


    Thats pretty even.


    The problem was, we were still not moving the chains because Locker was sucking up the field again. The game plan wasn't working and we HAD to put on some training wheels for Locker and let the WR's make some plays. They had to try to get him going. Plus, we were playing from 16-0 deficit going into the 2nd half.

    Thats why Im not mad at the coaches.

    I can't believe this is the same defense who shut down Charles last Sunday.

    Jakey boy isn't at fault

    He's completely 100% at fault

    I was calling for mettenberger when locker was 3/14 for 24 yards.... At the end on the half.....

    They were bailing him out last week.


    They will continue to bail him out all season. Hopefully, no major injuries and next year, we see if we can find someone who can not make the WR's say special prayers as they are coming back down to the ground with the ball.
