Opinions...Week 2 @ buffalo a, must win

When this was asked about Seattle I said it wasn't exactly a must-win, but it's a must-look-competent. I think we accomplished that, and by tightening a few things up and tweaking the offense, it could be a good team.

 

Buffalo I'd say is a must-win if they want to have a successful season.

Buffalo will not be an easy out.  With that said, if our defense plays the way it did against Seattle; I think we go into Buffalo and get a good road win.

 

This game will be won on turnovers.  If the pressure gets to Manuel, he will throw a few our way and I fully expect our offense to be able to capitalize on them.

seattle was a must win for setting a positive tone for the team. it didn't happen.

 

the next two games are must wins. they have to go into the bye week with a winning record.

 

every week after that is a must win.

 

losing is never ok (unless maybe because you've got a bye in the playoffs and you rest your starters).

 

this team has to get the mindset that cam had when he came in...losing is unacceptable. they have to get a "refuse to lose" killer mentality.

    • Calling carrier for getting punched in the nose just to keep us from a 5 on 3
    • I just mean it’s always offsetting in that situation.  I didn’t realize they called another penalty
    • And as I asked this again before, what goes into PFF's man open %, as I know you've brought that stat up before. Is that just the number of routes he gets open at any point during the route, or is it calculated on targets and if he was open when the ball got to him. Because like I pointed out so many times in the lead up to the draft, a big reason it was harder for him to get separation against man was because he not only had his man on him, but he was double or triple teamed on the majority of his routes this past year.  Just because of that alone, it was easier for him to get open against zone coverage where he could find holes and sit in them. Also, again, as been discussed so many times, his QB's play this year was awful, and lots of times his contested catches were due to him not delivering the ball on time when T-Mac got open.  Or just times he got open but wasn't targeted for whatever reason. So just using that stat as a way to say he struggles to get open against man is more likely than not, disingenuous. Hell, it's a PFF stat that you're using against him, yet at the same time, PFF absolutely loves him, he was their 4th overall player.   I posted this clip on here a week or so ago of the T-Mac vs Hunter game in 2023, where the anti T-Mac guys like to say Hunter shut him down.  But numerous times in this video you see T-Mac create tons of separation from Hunter but the ball wasn't thrown his way, plus a clear PI that wasn't called (and the one that was). https://x.com/4MR_Fetti/status/1918262063660454227 The "he can't separate" narrative is way overblown and become something more myth than reality.  No, he's not an elite separator like some of the quick twitch WRs, but he's so much better than the haters here like to say.
