Thank you defense.... seriously.

I thank the defense, because without that play yesterday's game would have been even harder to take. I hate they played such a great game and then we lost it (in that way). I know it was Buffalo, but that D was lights out. I haven't seen a D like that in a while from this squad. We were missing Davis but we still came out hitting. Beason, Peppers, Harris, on point. Hollis Thomas is nasty. I think if we get a decent HC in here our defense can be fine.

I can't believe our defense kept them to like 150 yards or something total and we had 450 and lost.

Hates off to Meeks.

Yeah, the defense looked really good out there. Hollis Thomas has been a huge help, and having Harris back has been huge, too.

I just wish we had a semi-competent offense that didn't constantly put the defense in bad shape. I want to know how many of the other teams' points have been scored off of turnovers. I would think it has to be something like 70%.

The defense played great, however I was getting pissed with all those defensive timeouts we were burning. For awhile there, substitutions looked sloppy, and fat linemen were running 4.4 40's to get off the field before the ball was snapped. Some of the coaching on defense was ugly, but the players flat out got after it. That hit by Harris was timed perfectly. And the safety was an all-out bum rush to the end zone.

They definitely weren't the problem today.

But I still wished they would play tougher when jake turns it over. I know it's not a fair criticism but look at the turnovers versus other drives. First turnover, Bills get it on the 7, first rush = stuffed, second rush = waltz in?

Second turnover from the 27 this time. 5 plays, touchdown.

Third turnover, this time in their territory. First play? 50 yard bomb by ryan fuging fitzgerald.

The defense needs to realize that with jake at the helm they are going to have to come off the bench after a short rest and in a difficult situation and play hard-nosed. On the drives where we punt or where they recieved the kickoff we look like Baltimore. After turnovers we look like Tampa.

    • The reset worked with proton.me.. wouldn’t work with my Gmail, Yahoo or Verizon email accounts 
    • Wish they started at 5:30 or 6 at the latest so I can watch it. I have to be in bed by start time.
    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.
