Great win on Sunday vs the Flats but we really have some things to clean up. Please chime in with your 2 cents .
#1. I LOVE David Harris but he is killing us in coverage. He can't stay with backs and it could have cost us the New England game. Rex is licking his chops to get a one on one with Harris or Davis . We need to find another way to cover these backs. Henderson and Lattimore should get a shot to stay on the field. I know Harris never comes off the field but they need to find a way to improve the coverage on the RB's.
#2. Breno Giacomini needs to step up his game. Both he and Brick struggled with the speed Dallas had at DE. Brick seemed to bounce back vs NE but Breno gave up the pressure that lead to a TD on the strip sack. We run so much 4-5 WR sets that if he can't improve it's going to change the way we call plays.
#3. In my opinion we need to bring some new plays to the table on offense. I think a little misdirection would help the running game in a big way. A little slot reverse with Kerley or a counter with Powell would keep the back side defenders honest . Christ the Flats ran every trick play in the book last week so Gailey shouldn't feel like it's below him to call it.
#4. We don't have to cover Gronk this week but I will never understand how we let him run down the field one on one as many times as we did. Williams was covering him at one point and as good as a cover man that he is Gronk got open for two 4th down conversions. This week we need to take Watkins out of the game. Double him with Cro and Gilchrist. Let Revis ,Skrine and Williams lockup the rest of their WR's
Let me know what else you got boys. No let down. Crushing skulls from the opening whistle.

Honestly I don't care if we win 77-76 and a half and give up 3 million yards.
Just win on Turkey's home field and go the playoffs by any means necessary.

Win by 1 or by 50 it doesn't matter. But teams are taking advantage of these things. If we want to get by Buffalo and be more than one and done in the playoffs they need to be fixed.

I didn't exactly see Denver or Cinci taking care of things yesterday... New England CERTAINLY didn't take care of anything! Panthers took care of nothing. Steelers... Well lets just say THANK YOU RAVENS!!! We got this shit. Will not be denied. No way no how.

I believe the term Bowles prefers is 'clean up a few things'...
- Like on screens, Ivory and Powell need to be atleast at the line of scrimmage when receiving the ball we stalled two drives atleast with those awful and predictable plays.
- i know its crazy but throw it cumberland once or enunwa from a te stance just to keep people honest. Christ, maybe throw to kerley on third down!
- put watkins on revis island! Where the only planes are fing jets!
- instead of screens run the Demaryius thomas/calvin johnson play to the flat like we did with enunwa in ot. Take advantage of his speed there once or twice and marshall can have a field day, especially with their secondary banged up.
- agree with op, i want harris and davis never in coverage, it's terrifying.
- work on timing between fitz and enunwa/decker on long balls - you know rex will bring the house and we will have shots.
- dont do anything dumb on special teams...this one worries me.

- dont do anything dumb on special teams...this one worries me. I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth... of the 3 teams to be deficient in ST is better that O or D. But still. Put Ivory or Powell back with Kerley and let him lateral after the catch. Do something. How about some fake punts... the 25 yarders aren't helping anything. I'll take the way our O and D are playing. Every team has screw ups and bad throws under the microscope. But lot's of games being won and lost by special teams. Pay Westoff half a mil to consult this week.

I've been eating a lot of rich food the past few weeks. Would it be too much to ask for an early lead and 60 minutes of good football? I'll take it any way we can get it, but if we could avoid the cardiac finish, I'd be appreciative.
