Tip o' the cap to Reggie Bonnafon.

That dude came in and balled out --- very productive. 

Looks like he could be a legit candidate to shoulder some of the work load CMC is carrying.  I hope Norv finds more touches for Bonnafon in London, let's see if he can continue to produce.

Not to be that guy, but when he came in the Jags defense was sucking more wind than a Hoover vacuum.

Doesn't belittle what he did, but keep it in perspective.

A fresh set of legs to take advantage of gassed defense and spell a starter. 

Just what a backup should be.

Hopefully it won't take another 5 games before we see it happen again.

this dude definitely needs to be giving CMC some rest.  Also provides a chance to use CMC as a decoy and have them both out there. 

I mean just imagine the potential if we get him consistently on the field in a small role.  I mean, that is the trick play RB not CMC.

Exactly!

If defenses see that more than just CMC is capable in running game, then defenses have to be cautious when 2 backs are in bc CMC is a great WO as well. Pick your poison and pray you picked the right defensive call.

Evolving offense. Not giving away all the looks. Keeping it fresh. 

Norv can be alot like Belichick if keeps evolving game by game which makes it harder for opponents to game plan against our O. If so, this will help KA alot and CMC at the same time, Norv can be frustrating like the 4th&goal call. 

Long as we win, Idc.

When Reggie busted off that 59 yarder the most excited person in the stadium was CMC.....very good to see.

I bet Reggie shows up at the next practice with a little extra pep in his step....hope it snowballs positively from here.

a couple things, 

1) apparently CMC was pretty winded as well. no reason that we should keep throwing out a winded RB 

2) Bonnafon has hopefully made a case for himself as someone who might not be at the level of CMC, but he does enough to take advantage of a winded D that the real CMC has made winded. Bonnafon is no CMC, but the CMC we saw near the end of the game isn't the real CMC either. Dude was understandably worn out.

3) We still have Scarlett to see and I would love to see what he can do against a wore out defense. Bonnafon is kind of more of the same (not a bad thing), but then Scarlett could come in and cause even more frustrations for the defense because he's a different kind of runner.

I think you mean the 4th and half a yard inside the five . . . but really that call wasn't the worst.  It was third and half a yard where we blew it.

    • I don't need that many words to say Bryce Young has not yet surpassed the caliber of QB play that current Joe Flacco represents.   I have watched every game Bryce has played.  He doesn't give you average QB play.   He can't make a ton of throws.  Bryce is consistent overall in what he is.  You can take outlier games on both ends of the spectrum out of play and judge him or any QB.....for Bryce it is unquestioned bottom of the league play.  All you have to do is watch the two play.  Flacco is good enough that if you can keep up right and give him time.....he presents a level of play Bryce can't do as a passer  
    • Not sure.  Which ones have more GWDs in the same time frame?
    • You kinda gloss over this, but this is really at the crux of this whole argument....which Flacco are we talking here?  You bring up that he played with 3 different teams but ignore the fact that his performance varied quite a bit from team to team. 2024 Colts: 65.3% completion, 12 TDs, 7 INTs, 220.1 YPG, 7.1 Y/A, 90.5 rating 2025 Browns: 58.1% completion, 2 TDs, 6 INTs, 203.8 YPG, 5.1 Y/A, 60.3 rating 2025 Bengals: 63.4% completion, 12 TDs, 3 INTs, 290.6 YPG, 6.8 Y/A, 96.2 rating 2025 Flacco (Browns + Bengals): 61.1% completion, 14 TDs, 9 INTs, 252.0 YPG, 6.1 Y/A, 80.8 rating vs. 2025 Bryce: 62.7% completion, 14 TDs, 7 INTs, 196.2 YPG, 6.2 Y/A, 86.0 rating I bolded the comparison that I think objectively makes the most sense...just simply comparing the two QBs for the entire season.  Otherwise you'd be cherry-picking Flacco's time with the Bengals and ignoring his earlier stint with the Browns, which sounds an awful lot like people cherry-picking Bryce's stats in the second half of last season. So again, which Flacco?  Basically the only thing consistent with Flacco across each of these teams was his W/L records: 2-4, 1-3, and 1-4 respectively.  I'd say if we're comparing each version of him to Bryce this year: Colts Flacco > 2025 Bryce, Browns Flacco <<< 2025 Bryce, Bengals Flacco >> 2025 Bryce, and 2025 Flacco < 2025 Bryce - Flacco this year only beats out Bryce on YPG but in part because he throws significantly more passes (almost 60 YPG more than Bryce, despite a lower Y/A which is pretty telling) .  Flacco is maybe the most apt case study about how important a QB's circumstances are to his success.  He was easily a bottom 3 QB in Cleveland and arguably top 10-15 in Cincinnati...and we're talking about the same player from the same season.  All that happened was taking him from one team and plopping him onto another team; nothing inherently changed about him as a QB.  Funny enough I think that's all that one dude on here was trying to say when he made that long poorly-received post after having an epiphany working for PFF behind the scenes or w/e.  That it's largely short-sighted to just try to evaluate QBs in a vacuum when there are so many variables at play that ultimately decide whether a QB is successful or not.   I think Bryce has been mediocre at best this season and I'm ready to move on regardless of how he ends this season - I'm highly skeptical a strong end to the season will carry over into next year considering how last year ended and this year began.  I would certainly agree that he's a bottom-third QB this year.  I just don't understand you scoffing indignantly at anyone holding the opinion that Bryce has had a better season than Flacco...I can only assume it's recency bias.  Or maybe you know the stats don't support you, which is why you're conjuring up the god-forsaken arbitrary "eyeball test" which is the kinda thing people in here were saying about Fields for years, pinky promising that he really truly was a franchise QB despite his awful stats.  Perhaps it's called the eyeball test because I roll my eyes anytime I hear someone bring it up seriously as an argument.
