He was just as bad before the tackle where he briefly left the game. It was an atrocious day for Josh, worst I’ve seen since he was a rookie.

I love Josh…but…Meet liability Josh. Easy guaranteed 5+ yards to Kincaid or Coleman on a down critical we get yards and stay in bounds and he launches a bomb to a blanketed Mack Hollins. Utterly terrible decision.

McD was visibly pissed off over this. I was all over McD end of this game and livid about these final 3 plays…but makes you wonder where this stupidity really falls.

This decision by Allen was far worse than any of those. As it had a major impact on us losing the game. To throw this pass to Hollins with two easy short options on a down that was absolutely critical we get yards and in bounds was utterly terrible.

Mack was involved in a few plays. Allen affected the whole game. You have it out for Mack, I said remove your bias. Both could be bad and on the same day. Allen is the reason we lost yesterday and it’s not close or debatable. We still had a chance to win thanks to 3 major plays by our Defense and an incredible play by Coleman to give Allen his only TD that was all Coleman. Allen missed guys all day, had multiple near turnovers, held the ball too long several times, made poor decisions the entire game. Not sure anyone loves Allen more than me, but truth is truth. And holding Allen accountable does not erase other people’s mistakes, including the coaches. It is being brutally honest about assessing Allen’s personal game yesterday.

Everyone also complaining Allen had to throw this deep shot to Hollins on the final inept drive that cost us the game. Well this stupid pass was 100% all Allen too. One Hollins isn’t open, two it’s 2nd and ten and we need yards and to stay in bounds and he has both Kincaid and Coleman for a guaranteed 5+ yards. This would have gave us 3rd and short at worst and made Texans use a timeout. Not only would this be easier to convert, we wouldn’t have to drop back into our own end zone risking a game ending safety to try and convert it. And if we don’t convert, we aren’t punting as jammed up in our end zone and can pin them back further. And it’s possible they could have made a guy miss or broke a tackle to just outright get the first. To throw this pass to Hollins is absolutely stupid. I love Allen, but geezus this was a catastrophic mistake and honestly substantially lowered our chances to win this game by keeping us in such a dangerous position and backed up on 3rd down.

Josh was the worst player on the field for this offense yesterday. Look at the final drive that cost us the game. 2nd and ten from our own end zone and he has Coleman and Kincaid each for a guaranteed 5+ yards giving us a more manageable 3rd down and not from inside our own end zone. Which also gives us more room to punt and pin them back further if we don’t convert. Josh throws up a prayer to none other than a blanketed Mack Hollins. WTF is he thinking. This is as stupid as the decision to even throw all 3 downs by our coaches. Earlier he had a wide open Hollins on a post for a TD and he locks on to Coleman who isn’t open and throws it out of the end zone instead. Allen was absolutely terrible yesterday and I love Allen, but we have to all remove our bias and homer caps and be honest about his play yesterday. I can’t think of a game he was worse since maybe his first game as a rookie.

This. Allen’s throw was poor, it’s non debatable in my book. Hollins makes a poor adjustment changing it from a difficult catch to an out of reach catch. Both failed on this play, but it starts with Allen making another really poor deep shot. Allen missed a wide open Diggs many times last year for would be long TDs by over throwing him or under throwing into a turnover. It’s been an issue. This year, he had MVS twice wide open down field and missed him so bad both times he couldn’t even make a play on the ball. This week was the worst I have seen Josh play by a mile.

What are you talking about? I’ve hammered McD for bad decisions loads of times. I said if we missed playoffs last year he has to be fired. I said to fire him today. Yeah you’re barking up the wrong tree. I’ve said many times he’s the worst challenge flag coach in the league (proved it again today) too. Just because I haven’t been holding rallies to fire him in past seasons doesn’t mean I’m his defense attorney or apologist. He’s a good football coach. But it’s run its course here. We need new blood to bring in new energy at this point. His in game decisions today were inexcusable for such a seasoned HC.

Lol…Shanahan has choked away 3 Super Bowls now with 4th quarter leads. He’s not the genius he’s made out to be.

He could be heard saying it was his chest, not head. Just cuz you hit your head doesn’t mean you get a concussion.

You need to watch the play again. It’s ok to not like Mack, it’s possible to not like him and Allen to also have thrown a bad ball. It’s honestly not even disputable IMO if you watch the game again. Allen made that play so much more harder than it needed to be. You’re letting your bias for Hollins skew you judgement on this play. Hollins did also adjust poorly, so he has some fault too, but the pass was not a good throw at all. Even if Mack doesn’t have that little hiccup he would have been forced to catch the ball over his shoulder and the wrong shoulder to boot. I can’t defend Allen on that play or his first half where he was the worst I have seen from him.

That Hollins play was as much on Allen if not more. You absolutely do not over throw it to his OUTSIDE shoulder forcing the WR to adjust on an over the shoulder throw. That ball needs to go inside and didn’t need to go that far. It was as easy a throw as it gets for any QB and Allen made it difficult and still was too far. Hollins could have adjusted better, but the point is the pass never should have been so bad that he had to even adjust. He was wide open by 10 yards. Both are at fault, but Allen is more at fault. Then on the same drive Hollins is again wide open for an easy TD on a post inside and he locks in on Coleman and just chucks it out of bounds in end zone to Coleman. It’s not like the pass catchers didn’t make mistakes too. But to pretend Allen wasnt the worst player on the field in the first half is just not accurate. And I LOVE Allen, but I’m not gonna be bias and give him a pass for his absolutely terrible play that half. Worst since his first game as a rookie.

Wrong. Even if they pick up just 2 yards on each of the first 2 runs, now it’s 3rd and 6 from the 10 instead of 3rd and ten where you are dropping into your end zone risking losing the game on a sack too or intentional grounding in the end zone that becomes a sack. Then they just need to convert a short 3rd down potentially with more breathing room. Or punting the ball further making getting into FG range harder. Passing on the first 2 downs was the dumbest decision I can recall seeing since Atlanta kept passing in the SB and giving NE the opportunity to come back and win. There is no defending this stupidity

First half was way more on Allen than anyone, it’s not really close either. 2nd up was the OL. Blaming the pass catchers for terrible throw after terrible throw combined with bad decisions is just not a fair recap of the first half. The receiver room still does need help, it doesn’t change that. But that was the worst I’ve seen Allen play since his first game as a rookie. We also missed Shakir more than anyone could imagine because Samuel is utterly useless.

McD finding a new Billsy way to lose is the final straw. It’s time. I’m on board, we need to make the change. I can’t defend him anymore.

I cannot believe the decisons to not just go to OT

This was the worst decisions I’ve ever seen from a coach. Why didn’t we just take it to OT?

WTF did we not run the clock out!?!?!?

Huh? How is that on Keon?

Not even a question to me

LFG BERNARD!!!! GET IT OFFENSE!!!!

Knox…Kincaid…Coleman…Cook…anyone…we throw to MVS covered by Stingley? WTF

MVS is trash
