On the road you absolutely have to have a running game. This team has not had a real once since prime Zeke.

Pollard out there looking exactly like Felix Jones when he took over the starting spot.
We ran fine today. They called a holding on Tyler and that went out the window. The problem was the defense and it’s discipline

Good news is that they are acknowledging the problem. The penalties been a problem all season and directly contributed to the blowout against the Bills.
Yes, we’ll see if they can correct these issues .

I agree I think MM is the type of guy that when it’s going well he’ll keep the moral high, he’s a likable enough guy. but yeah when it’s not going well I don’t see him motivating the team/someone they will run through a brick wall for. I think my biggest problem with Mike is he really lacks common sense. I swear sometimes I feel like him and bones are tweedle Dee and dumb on that sideline. Like that missed block point opp ya gotta stress common sense in those moments and sadly we’ve had a lot drives extended for the other team doing stupid stuff like that. We beat ourselves a lot. We need to hit teams in the mouth like teams hit us. Furthermore we need to hit back when teams hit us instead of rolling over.

Hankins being out is the killer. Until he comes back teams are gonna win on us the way buff did today. You’d think Jerry and Stephen would maybe kick the tires on suh or bring in someone to help for time being especially with mazi looking like a bust but they won’t. So If that’s the case if eagles win we should come to terms that you’re gonna be the 5th seed and rest and get healthy for playoffs and use week 18 as a dress rehearsal.
mugsy---i like your reasoning....and agree...but i heard 1-tech ( unless you are generational ) takes longer to

"light the bulb".....Mazi did have a sack....but what today could have been as a silver lining is teams think they

have blueprint on us now....and we fix middle of defense and shut down teams we got em....i know this has been

achilles for years since 2018 and Rams....but Hankins will be back for playoffs....and rested...he needs no practice

he is a total vet....and i think Mazi will get better....i dont yet call him a bust...but we have swung and missed

sometimes horribly D-Line picks...we could have had T.J. Watt....but we did get parsons and i think also

we must take into account the artice Boyzmanticita posted...1/2 our team had flu and diarrea and then

the refs...and super motivated Bills team playing at home....i believe we will fix our D-middle so we dont

get run over ..... we have been a team with MM that has bounced back from horrible games...and i am proud

of Tony Pollard and even Rico Dowdle and can we please use our fullback more????....but you are on money

when it comes to getting run over...then our penalties must decrease....someone has to take bull by the horns

that

Didn’t see it, but it would explain a lot

I actually thought the refs were fine. Like they messed up, but I could kind of see why at least.

Things really just snowballed on us, and the energy just wasn’t there
we had many sick with flu....it might explain some....i am saying "some" of the penalties????

I just gave Pollard credit for playing well. One of the few players with some fierce in his gut
Steve---he was 11-53..almost 5 yds per carry...we had 89 rushing yards total and 134 thru the air..we got

to shore up middle of D....we can scheme for that...it may put more pressure on our corners but we must

I think PLAT into retirement.
Steve------not a good time to talk about em...i get it....but i dont encourage any type of gambling....that is one addiction i did not have but i saw it ruin lives....i will think on retiring the ol PLAT....served us well many times...but i did not know 1/2 the team had flu and diarrea either or i would not have put one

What a reactive doofus. he buys into the narrative too? It’s not about “the road”, it’s about the QB and the personnel. Was it really the change in venue that caught this team off guard? No, it was the QB who went deer in headlights and kept taking sacks.

right now if we had to play a road playoff game against the Rams or Lions, we likely lose. Both those teams run the ball heavy. Big physical teams. We shrink against Big TEAMS. DQ needs blame here.

It was all of it. Mike is right but your right too. Dak never looked right. Frankly, the team looked scared.
