Appreciation Thread for Eric Mangini's Call to Bench Quinn

DeadWombat

Hieden in for Royal on TE. Steve Heiden can catch. Royal, not so much. How many drops has he had? I'm glad to see us throw to Heiden when we need him.
Massaquoi in for Cribbs for 2nd WR. Edwards is getting doubled up and leaves MoMass to capitalize on completions.
Harrison in for Lewis for RB. I was so excited to finally see Harrison contribute, and he looks excellent. I will be pissed if we see Lewis starting when he comes back.
DA in for Quinn for QB. DA can move the offense a lot better than Quinn can.

Make no mistake, our special teams and offense have looked better as well (holy hell, Cribbs and Rogers), but on the offense, those player substitutions were the key IMO.

Agree with the above. Special teams is what made this game close in the end however.

We also have to thank Rodgers for stopping two kicks.

Amen. I had a feeling after hearing Rogers comments during the week he was going to bring it today.

I like Rogers and am glad he is 'back'!

The man is a beast.

This is a bit random but from the Bengal's board:

all day to throw
no rush at all

damn wish we had their offense!

these fu*kers are goodp

3rd and 5

easy 6 yard completion!

Brat best be taking notes here!

Carson better be studying Derrick A

I think the switch to MoMass at #2 WR over Cribbs is the move I appreciate far more at this point. Cribbs lining up at #2 was doing the passing games no favor.

A loss is a loss, DA just cant get it done, please trade Quinn soon.

I also think some of the defensive subs worked well. Adams had a pretty good game and showed his cover skills. Bmac was good as a nickel. And how about Furrey steppin up and playing some d, he actually looked good!

DA still played terrible.. ..Ooh big shock there.. Threw an int right into coverage on 3rd down in the red zone... THROW THE DARN BALL AWAY away and kick a field goal..get points on the board.... BUT NO.. DA has to force the ball into an area there there is nothing. into double coverage. This guy never learns. Same mistakes each game.

DA did make some nice throws..but when the pressure is on..this guy folds up like a cheap chair.. and throws the ball right into coverage . I am tired of seeing this every time the guy steps on the field.. Why should we settle for this..guys are saying OH, we scored a td.. big deal.. does not matter if he contantly makes the critical mistake when the game is on the line.

We should settle for this because Tom Brady and Peyton Manning are not in our roster.

ill give you the int was bad.. the playcalling in the redzone on that drive was a bit predictable but DA still forced it.

However AT LEAST THE GAME WAS ON THE LINE...... something Quinn never even got close too.

Still better than back to back Flash package calls in the redzone.

I dont know about Adams and Furrey on def....

We just need to get subs for Poteat and St.Clair now.

Good post ... Mangini deserves the credit for making the tough decisions.

He also demoted McDonald and it seemed to light a fire under his ass and send a message to the other DB's

I agree with this but I would have LOVED to have Jamal in there to beat them up a little bit. Plus, Harrison is so tiny, he gets arm tackled too easily. Jamal would have been a huge advantage for us.

Have you ever seen a football game in your life or do you rely on game highlights? Dude had a really good game, not excellent, but good. His numbers were what you would expect from a winning QB. Plus, he has dramatically improved his play-fake and minimizing his mistakes. Yeah he threw a pick but guess what? Every QB does. That pick by the way was more about the DB making a hell of a play than DA blowing it. I guess he and Heiden had different ideas, mid-throw he tried to bounce it off the ground and the CB made an excellent play (or did he?).

Plus, I'm pretty f'n happy we scored some points. I'm not sure how you can just dismiss that as being unimportant but whatever. And fans, including yourself, have talked about the O-line sucking and guess what? DA got sacked I believe one time, and that was his fault he ran into it. On top of that, he made a rookie WR look like Marvin Harrison. DA got him the ball one-on-one and it worked.

DA did make some nice throws..but when the pressure is on..this guy folds up like a cheap chair

Dude, he has more game winning drives than Carson Palmer. And do you recall him forcing anything after that CB made that play? And do you recall the 5 drops? DA did what a QB needs to do to win football games. The fact that we lost by a field goal after 85 minutes of football, simply is not because DA played a "terrible" game.

Ri-goddamn-diculous.

This is what you get once you get the owner's boy off the field and actually get control of your football team. Thank you Brady honks for buying up them tickets so fast!
