Poor Riley Moss

Moss was absolutely torched today. Denver needs to draft a corner to go with Surtain.
Higgins “owns” most everyone he faces. But the TV folks were pretty positive about Moss’ play for the most part.
I seem to remember his first game as a Hawk and I think he got burned twice deep really bad in the game..he turned out pretty good.
Many forget he had a terrible start to his Iowa career. NFL is a total different animal but Moss has had a solid start to his NFL career so far.
First game back from injury but yeah, he got lit up.
Guys, Higgins and Chase are a tough matchup, especially with Burrow as the trigger man
Yeah ... I was gonna mention ... quite a tough assignment to have right off of injury ...
Burrow was on fire. Accuracy was off the chart. Several times Moss actually had good coverage but Higgins is an All Pro level receiver. It did not help that Denver had Riley play 7 yards off Higgins at the line of scrimmage.. Those quick outs are tough to cover if you are not pressing the receiver. Riley probably knows he needs to improve on this outing. Still an upper level corner, just got beat by the league’s best QB/receivers combo.
It was interesting to listen to one of the national radio shows that brought Moss up by name repeatedly. I don’t think I have heard that before when Chase, etc have lit CB’s up all year. Usually all about how amazing the receiver is and that they are unguardable and rarely if ever mentioning the CB by name. I found it odd.
Probably because he is a white guy from Iowa
Yeah, but I wouldnt describe him as poor. If he can play a few more years in the league and line up his salary payments in long term amounts then he should be set money wise. He is also living his dream, well a nightmare yesterday. I found it odd the was lined up on both sides of the formation as usually those corners play one side or the other
Burrow has been carving up secondary's all year and Higgins is a terrible matchup for Moss (he's a terrible matchup for most teams). Higgins is a #1 caliber WR in the league, he just happens to be on the same team as Chase.
It's a gd shame the Bengals defense was such trash this year, Burrow is lighting it up. I'm a big Giants and Browns fan today. I can't wait to set myself up to be gut punched by the ****ing Steelers again next week.

Chase and Higgins might be the receiving duo in the NFL. Add in one of the best slingers in the game and Riley’s first game back and… ouch. Rough game but Riley was real solid before his injury. He will be fine, I think. The Denver media and fans are pretty high on him.
The bengals better build a defense for burrow. That team being 8-8 with this receiving and quarterback is a travesty. They are going to piss away what I think is the best gun slinging qbs in the game. They also better start protecting him a little more or he won’t make it long. I live watching burrow, Higgins and chase play. Even as a bronco fan.
I don’t think the NFL gives you much time to develop. Either you’re at that level or you won’t be there for long.
Moss is a slot corner and shouldn’t be on an island like he is. If they are gonna do that to him, at least have safety coverage over the top to prevent those throws on the top and backside. Bad defensive schematics by Denver.
Denver not being ready to go for 2 on the road after the miracle throw was more fail than anything Moss did. Then they went into OT and did jack squat on offense.
I believe the average is 3 years. Also, it’s not like he was a 1st or 2nd round pick and Denver has a ton of money invested in him relatively speaking.
The Brownies are like watching the Gawjs tge past couple of years. Good solid defense but they can’t move the ball, can’t score points and have no phuquin’ QB. And they got a really solid coach…just shitty horrible ownership. Garrett has fired a shit across ownership’s now…put up or ship me out. Browns front office is pure crap… abd owbership… well it’s amazing how guys worth so much money can be so phuquin’ Stupid! But Haslam is something else!
