Right now -- Thompson, OZ, Scheider, Caserio/BB, Keim (we'll se how it goes)... Honorable mention to Brown for putting the Bengals in a good position for the last 6 or so years. Also, Colbert gets a lot of crap but he's done wonders with that offense. Jerry Reese is also up and down.

Y'all got any dem healthy starters?

Welp, this is a coaching problem. Get on it.

Bump -- Any thoughts on what happens with Pitta now that we're 1-4 (potentially 2-4 or 1-5 when he's eligible to come back)? Personally, I'd be surprised to see him return, but you never know. This decision seems more interesting with a losing record.

The people who can't stop talking down on Perriman have serious problems. Get a grip, it's a game and he will eventually play it.

Please stop. Ozzie doesn't control injuries or garbage game-planning. Williams is a bust? Good lord, we're all upset but that's flat out ridiculous.

You don't get to make excuses right now. Heads need to roll. Pees needs to go. The front office needs to re-evaluate the medical and training staff. This team has no identity, no heart, and is a shell of its potential. No more PR crap, make changes, draft well, and field a better team, a better coordinating staff, hire better medical and training staffs, and get it together. WE are the joke the AFC right now.

Yanda is one guy who absolutely needs to retire in purple.

Apparently Aaron Wilson reported it on 105.7 last night as being a possibility. Though, to be fair, I think it's a long shot. Also, Wilson has not said a word about it anywhere else.

Would it be better here? Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, probably.

While he played great, there's no guarantee that it would have translated here. There's also no guarantee that he keeps it up for good. I hope he does though, the Vikes look like they are coming up.

Correct, more of a "what's going on here," rather than a "we need to repair this." As GrimCoconut said above, this is actually a good thing in a roundabout way. He'll be back sooner than we expected.

Get Randy Moss on the phone. /s

Some of our fanbase really needs to get a grip. Perriman was not going to save our season, he would have helped but he was ultimately a rookie who needed some polish. That's still going to be the case. Calling him a bust is absolutely ridiculous. Let the kid play when he's ready, then bring your opinions back.

They gotta clean it up. Even cutting those in half, and averaging just 6 pentalites a game would have made a huge difference. Some of the calls were literal motivational killers. That facemask on Sunday was abysmal.

Please no to Mattison. Pees is his clone.

A rare voice of reason on this board, at this time. I too, am very optimistic about what could be coming. Call it a hunch, but some pretty basic adjustments will go a long way for this team. There is a very good shot at winning the next three, and if that manifests... Anything is possible moving forward.

Flacco needs to deliver late? Are you joking, Bedard? I'll be the first to admit that he hasn't looked great, and has made some questionable throws... But, he's also lead multiple comebacks in the same game this year. Do you expect him to win each game multiple times?? Defense needs to deliver late. Get it right.

He's obviously not 100%. But, neither is the game-planning.

I think it's a little bit of both. The playcalling is designed alright, but we seem pretty quick to abandon the run. We're also playing from behind constantly, so I can understand why Trestman gets trigger happy. This, however, is exactly what Bears fans were warning us of.

We can hate the Krafts and Pats all we want. Fact is, they have the right people in place to win games. Their contracts rarely sink them. Their coordinators are very good at calling games. They draft well, even with last pick every year. They may have spent the summer dealing with controversy, but when it comes to football, we're the ones with egg on the face.

Notice how I said "organization." This is more than just poor play. It starts with the front office.

I have one thought: This organization needs to get it's act together. The Patriots, Packers, even the Bengals have the right talent, in the right places, to win big games. We do not. We're suddenly fans of a franchise with no identity. None. Get it together.

Our fanbase can be quite fickle at times.

Perriman is back to practice. Doubt he plays Sunday, but we should see him week 4 or 5. Maybe he'll suit up to stretch the field Sunday, but that seems unlikely.
