Still stupid play calling!

[w87r]

Getting a little creative with the wildcat.

Can't throw downfield anymore, can he?

He can but it isn’t efficient 

[EastStreet]

was someone saying he can't push it downfield?

 

 

[Fluke_33]

Game on!

[Wyldhorsefan]

Td is nice. But its not going to matter if the D dosen't shows up.

[John Waylon]

Even though that worked, that play needs to be thrown in the garbage and never considered again. 

[SteelCityColt]

I have no idea what that drive was, but I'll take it. 

[HungarianColtsFan]

Stitches!

[Mr.Debonair]

Very nice ball from Rivers. Good offensive drive

Is Rivers still the problem today?

no but it just furthers the point that there was zero reason to bring rivers in.   Bringing in rivers is a win now move , this team is not in a win now mode .  they are still rebuilding .

No one cares 

Funny I have people agreeing with my posts and I am not the one who made the first post.  You don’t care fine but you don’t speak for everyone.

[Fisticuffs111]

Ow, Nelson took a hit right in the back. Really hope his back hasn’t been bothering him as speculated.

Someone was saying they had mixed feelings on bringing Johnson in.

The ball was underthrown but whatever.

He could of made that catch, he was more worried about staying on his feet.

 

That wasn't on TY

Johnson did have to slow down to catch it, but that was a good throw

[JlynRN]

ok Happy for the TD.  WTG Burton !!!  We really need to step it up here and not let the bengals have their way with us.

[Jackie Daytona]

After that.... I'm pretty convinced our true issues reside in play calling ...on both sides of the ball

[coltfaninnewyork]

Can’t get the bengals the bengals off the field but we are a elite defense 

[Fisticuffs111]

I said it his first game back but Johnson is always seemingly making at least one huge play a game for us. This year and last.

Rivers does well must still blame Rivers...

 

I am not Rivers biggest fan and made that clear last week but blaming him for anything today other than one bad throw to TY is ridiculous at this point.

Who out there is honestly better that’s available? And don’t say the trash can from New England. That guy’s a tool.

We should have picked Vrabel over Reich!

Rivers didn’t get them down 21-0

[bestQBever]

a drive like that can motivate a deflated defense. If even this momentum can't carry the defense then we have no hope. I'm gonna still put some trust in this D.

[RollerColt]

Offense finally did something, but the defense has to actually get a stop for once if we even want a chance. 

[Mr.Debonair]

I def did, cuz until that point he hasn't consistently shown he can. Lets hope he continues

[w87r]

Not if he was going to get his feet down for that to be a catch.

If he would of laid out his foot wouldn't of came up. He tried to stay on his fét so his foot pulled up to make next step.

Can't even be happy when they get a TD?

Total team let down

Yeah , it was getting a little ridiculous over the past week hearing how Brissett can give equal play.

 

I still maintain that if the O-line (specifically run blocking) and defense played like expected, Rivers is able to function and succeed as designed

[HOZER]

A sign of life!!! Now, someone find our D so we can get back in this game!!!!

[Smoke317]

We need playmakers bad. Time to face it TY ain’t what he used to be.  Gotta get others more involved.  TY is a complimentary receiver now.  Not go to.

yes, it was me. still have the same feelings. 

Rivers hit the same sail route to Mo, who we're not playing, and hit the same Pascal. 

 

Just very very happy he is continuing to play well, and didn't drop it like TY.

[Fisticuffs111]

I’d say we even need some timely turnovers at this point. Bengals get the ball after the half.

I’ll give you that one. He’s a damn good coach and a fine human being.

yeah he was fringe #1 in his prime, now he's pretty much just an experienced vet.

Unless TY has go go gadget arms or legs no.  As the announcers pointed out that was bad throw by rivers as a result of not having timing with TY.  It happens.
