This is one of those games we could win if we control the time of possession, which sucks because Lewis will miss this one. If we let Chuba eat and let the offensive line control the tempo of the game, we could sneak out of this one with a W. Having Lewis out changes that immensely.

I have no faith in our defense (mainly the pass rush) against their offense. Joe Burrow is going to have all day to throw and he will light us up. Horn vs Chase and Mike Jack vs Higgins is going to be a doozy of a matchup.

Zavala does not inspire confidence from me at all. Maybe he actually did get better but it was garbage time when he was in for Lewis. So we'll see. The OL was actually picking up stunts, and he was usually standing and watching it happen for all of last year. Like, d'oh was that my guy? Sorry. 

Is that going to be fixed?

FWIW, Zavala played 22 snaps on Sunday and didn't give up a single pressure.

Honestly, I didn't even realize he had replaced Lewis until near the end of the game.

Hopefully, we don't hear his name on Sunday- that would probably be a good thing.

And maybe this scheme is just a better fit (plus he's not a rookie) compared to whatever it was that we were supposedly running last year.

Yeah, I think their DL hurting is more harmful to them than ours to us. Our run game is going to pummel them.

I think running the ball and keeping Burrow off the field is key.

If we do that I think we have a good chance to win

Otherwise, Burrow will expose our lack of pass rush with his weapons

      Do You Agree With These Excuses?

      Extrapolate that with every QB for that matter. I guarantee you there's quite a bit of missed opportunities and yards left on the field for everyone. Many NFL QBs deal with WRs not putting in A+ effort, subpar o-line play and other deficiencies. The great ones are able to rise above these issues and create opportunities for plays. Guys like Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes can both play in and out of structure, as well as find ways to get yards when things break down and mask mistakes by throwing guys open, creating opportunities from nothing, etc. Bryce Young has only shown he's able to make things happen when the rest of the team picks up his slack. Very rarely does he create those opportunities himself. When this is a consistent pattern year after year with Bryce where he shows up lackluster, it's a concern. This is year three and he should be elevating the team as a first overall pick this franchise traded up for.  He was far from elevating anyone against JAX. In fact, he needed others to elevate and create for him. Excuses may be fine for a rookie, but this is year three for the first overall pick. Not looking good so far.

      I think the worst issue is coaching. Countless bad snaps, XL not getting his feet in or trying on runs plays, our centre being down field when he didn't need to be. All seem to be from poor coaching for me. I believe Canales is to soft to rip the players a new one when the fug up. Plus I honestly believe that Canales is slow getting his plays in giving Bryce less time to diagnose and adjust to the defence. Don't worry I could of head butted Bryce for that fumble and the 4th down throw aways but the other plays are explainable to me
