My take

[Puck]

Damn you all all are way to harsh....

Had a new QB that moved the ball fairly well and minus the 2 terrible TO's the Colts win going away.

There was nothing wrong with the play calling. He had basically a rookie QB and dumbed down the plays And played his rollout to adjust for the bad Oline play. Wasn't Frank's fault in any way IMO

The offense moved the ball and besides the fumbles was working

I am not keen to the trickery plays but they didnt kill us

I didnt expect to win Figured Sam would take a few games before D's figured him out though

I am still not sold on Sam. But I liked what I saw for the most part

Belichick will give him all he can handle. Be interesting to see how he does.

Maniac comes through with a big INT, he's going nuts, has the crowd in a frenzy- then sits on the final drive of the game while they go 86 yards with 26 and 33 yard plays.

Every FUCKING time someone made a big offensive play- they came out of the lineup- EVERY FUCKING TIME!

Never in my fucking life have I witnessed a coach that is this fucking bad at sustaining momentum- literally he is the biggest buzz kill any team could ever ask for.

Pissed about the loss but delighted to be walking out and almost to a person people shouting shit about how Frank Reich has to go. Even if the dude survives tomorrow, he is a goner and that is a fantastic thing for this team. This team can win, they have talent, they have a miserable clown at the helm though.

Irsay says Frank and Ballard are both safe....thought of you when I read that!

He will have to back out of that statement- either that or Frank will have to have an Urban "I want to see my kids more" moment. Dude's gotta go!

My take is this OL is still shit!!! I put a lot of blame on Strausser is just shitty.
Plus team didn't do a good job of replacing Chris Reed, Mark Glowinski and Jack Doyle, which really hurt the running game.

You got overpaid Nelson laughing I'm paid Bro, I'm good....

We had some decent runs up the middle despite dline being the Commanders strength. JT is at 70%

We should have won this game by two scores. But fumbles and mis communication plague this team.

To me it’s a chemistry problem. Too many QBs over the years. Bad oline inserted.

Still I saw some nice things from Ehlinger. Enough to keep playing him. See what happens when the game slows down for him. He makes pretty good decisions and he is showing good accuracy. He will throw deep and take chances, he will put it up high for tall receivers to get it, did at Texas too a lot. That last pass was clutch, MPJ needs to catch that. Something was up with him today.

Our defense is playoff worthy. Too bad we’re still looking for a QB.

If you think a savior QB is coming through the draft I will say don’t get your hopes up. Not sure about the QB class except that they are better than last year.

If we don’t go QB, I’m praying we get a good LT.

I thought Leonard’s play was curious.

They had him on the LOS in some odd fronts and I think he looked awful. Way to light in the ass to be trying to fuck with tackles.

It was nice to see the INT but if this is how they intend to apply his skill set…

He'll get there, but he's not there yet. He looks a lot slower.

And I know what you're talking about. I remember a play where I think he was blitzing or at least feigning the blitz, and he folded backwards as soon as he touched the guard.

JT is definitely not himself. Still pretty good at 70%. Got stuffed on some inside runs, but some worked, too. The outside/misdirection stuff helps. Not only did Hines (led by Taylor) and Campbell have big runs... I think it was JT's 27-yard inside run where the defender let him run right past him because he was frozen not knowing where the ball was.

I'm actually encouraged by Ehlinger. Biggest reason was his maneuvering the pocket with eyes downfield and not panic running constantly. And his arm strength looked fine, deep balls were accurate.

Also, the explosive plays. We had passes of 47yds, 38yds, 22yds, plus a PI. And we had runs of 28yds and 27yds. All of that is great going forward.

But as for this game... it's redundant, but shit, we lost because we fumbled twice in the red-zone. Bare minimum that's 6 points off the board. It's about as bad as fumbling in your own red-zone and gifting the other team points.
