Not thrilled with the play calling, over reliance on Mixon who’s replacement level or Burrow seemingly feeling phantoms early on but super happy with the win. The defense is solid and OL kept Burrow clean all game. If he can start to trust them, big plays will be back. Baltimore is next on SNF and that’ll be a huge game.

I think Mixon is really good, but there’s not much he can do when he’s getting hit three yards behind the line every time he gets the ball because of an obviously telegraphed run play.

He was really good. He’s looking like he might be washed. Or at the very least has lost a step. He’s always wanted to be Le’Veon Bell, and he was able to get away with that style for the most part throughout his career, but he has been absolutely brutal this season. He’s indecisive, slow, and can’t break a tackle to save his life. There’s plenty of examples on the tape of him having space but he’s dancing around in the backfield instead of hitting his holes. His vision has been just terrible.

We we’re able to run it on the Jets to seal the game last week with a drive that took like 8-9 minutes off the clock. Everyone in the stadium knew it was coming and they still couldn’t stop it. The difference was Samaje Perine wasn’t hesitating, he was just getting the ball and instantly hitting the holes.

This. The issue right now is Mixon, not the line, at least not the last few weeks. Mixon leads the league with 7 carries inside the 5, 14 carries within the 10 and his only TD was the one yesterday where the offensive line pushed him 3 yards into the end zone. He doesn't hit the holes hard and when he does, he runs into the back of his OL or is tackled by first guy who hits him. He looks like he's running in cement right now and it's hurting this offense badly.

I really hope they give Perine a shot at a few series or Chris Evans. Mixon is such a problem.

I'm disappoint by the talking heads who insisted that no one would put their medical license on the line to get Tua back on the field. Anyone with fucking eyes could tell he sustained a head injury. All his responses indicated that he did, and at no point on Sunday was he pointing to his back as being the source of pain. Just disgraceful.

Damn is that the dude that had the temerity to stare down all the interviewers and swear he would NEVER put a player in harms way!

No, that was the Fins coach, and he may have meant what he said. From his logic, Tua got the thumbs up from the medical staff and he was working closely with him and thought he was fine. He put his credibility on the line though, that's for sure.

Also, waking up at 8:20 with a game in London is a dangerous game, especially when starting Kamara and Thomas in multiple leagues.

Seriously, how is a generation of Madden players better at knowing when to call timeouts than these fucking millionaire coaches...

To be fair a good amount of NFL coaches are millennials (or almost millennials) that grew up playing Madden too.

And yet so many are still so bad at it. With all that support staff too. It doesn't make much sense.

I've seen dogs shits that were better at football than the Colts. 

Ryan Kelly treats his job (snapping the football) like a hobby leftover from a bad breakup that he autopilots his way through for lack of other initiative.
