As a joke that was funny...hence my laugh emoticon response ha. But hells no to this guy. And I have him in all 3 fantasy leagues, so getting him on the Bills helps my crappy fantasy teams as I also have Allen on them. But this dude's attitude is much worse than even Claypools was when he was a Steeler. Strip down AB's talent, drive, and work ethic and you have Pickens.

He has a major attitude problem and runs very lazy routes when he isn't getting the ball, like literally half speed at best. He is even lazy in practice and runs less than half speed. TJ Watt has even called him out for it. He is the polar opposite of what they are looking for.

Wasnt the cook one in the field of play and not for a TD? Either way, Cook was 100000000% out of bounds, that would have been a terrible challenge. But the Kincaid one should have been challenged. It may not have gotten overturned, but it at least had a shot to and considering the impact it could have had, I would have challenged it and lived with it if it didn't get overturned.

I love Josh, but he’s got to get smarter in these moments. I defended him in the Chiefs game where he had Shakir for a TD even though he had Diggs short because Allen can make that throw and Shakir can make that catch and it was for a TD and also 2nd down. But in this circumstance it just can’t happen.

Yeah, I mean so much of what is put out is bogus or for clicks, but at least you like to see a decent amount of followers, so still worth posting so thanks. I mean after Sunday (and the Ravens game), any news connecting us to Adams, another WR, or even Budda Baker will all make sense to where I am sure lots of posts are gonna keep popping up linking us to them. At this point, I am fine going to get Adams, I wanted him the last 2 years. My main concern for him this year was 2 fold...one, does he move the needle enough to make giving up a good draft pick for a half year rental...as in, does he make us a legit SB contender or not. And that is still a bit hard to tell, but no doubt he should improve our offense. And the next was will he be OK if he isn't force fed the ball. But after the hot 3 week start, I think that is less a concern now after we haven't been able to spread the ball around as effectively against stiffer competition, so he should still get enough targets to keep him happy. But...still not convinced we will make the best offer to the Raiders. Other teams would not require the Raiders to eat as much salary either.

Already addressed that.

No disrespect...but...Hard disagree on this...the only thing he needed to make happen was guaranteed yards on this play, there was no other acceptable option or objective after we threw unsuccessfully on first down. First off, you are risking a game ending INT there, which Josh has thrown plenty of INT's as we know. Josh is risking a safety holding the ball that long in the endzone which would have lost us the game. Even an incomplete pass means 3rd and 10 where Josh for the 3rd time puts the game in jeopardy having to drop again into the endzone where a safety loses us the game. Then, you are forced to punt without the proper room to punt on 4th down backed up into the endzone again creating an opportunity for a game ending mistake on a bad snap or blocked punt. Even if you get the Punt off, you are giving them excellent field position to get into FG range for a kicker with a big leg. We had 0 time outs, if Hollins makes that play it doesn't do anything for us. We are still a long way away from FG range with no timeouts, no big time receivers to take deep sideline shots with and having maybe 10 seconds left on the clock. There was absolutely nothing to gain on that throw to Hollins and everything to lose. It was maybe the worst decision I have ever seen Josh make personally, and again I love Josh. Getting the pass off on the break to Coleman would have given us at least 5 yards and Coleman a chance to make a move or break a tackle to get the first which he has done on several come back routes already this season. Same with Kincaid. Even just the 5 yards and staying in bounds creates the chance the Texans just let the clock run rather than stopping it. But lets assume they do stop it, not its 3rd and short and Josh isn't putting the game at risk dropping into the endzone with a safety possible to try and pick it up and its MUCH easier for Josh to pick up either throwing or running the ball with him or Cook. And if we don't get it, our punter has more room and the Texans start further away with less time on the clock making the FG attempt harder to obtain, or at least from even further away if they still pick some yards up. There is no ifs ands or buts about it...this was maybe the worst decision of the game and put is in a really bad spot that directly led to the events that lost us the game. And its why McD was so pissed off on the sideline too. Brady gave Josh multiple right choices and Allen instead took the worst choice he could make.

Fair point...but make no mistake about it, as much as it pains me to say as I love Allen, he was terrible Sunday. His passes were off, his decisions were poor, and he looked off from the get go to the finish. That doesn't absolve anyone else from their mistakes, including the coaches either. That is just a flat out honest assessment of how Josh himself played. Am I concerned about him moving forward...no...do I think he is still the 2nd best QB in the NFL...absolutely and I still think he can get into the best in the league convo if he can reach and win some Super Bowls. But Sunday was bad.

You know its possible for there to be other plays, other criticisms on other subjects/players without turning every thread into litigating the Mack Hollins play again right?

What does that have to do with how he played this week?

😬 Yikes

Disagree, he has Coleman off the snap. With Allen’s arm if he hits Coleman off the break it’s not only an easy catch he could also make him miss or break the tackle and outright get the first down. And this should have been the hot read with them sending Hollins to clear out that side. And with Coleman’s hands and catch radius, Allen can put the ball where ever he wants out of harms way to the DB even if he is a little late on the read.

Maybe you should rewatch the game. He was terrible yesterday. Does it mean no one else made mistakes? Nope. But no question this was the worse game Josh has played since his rookie year in my mind. And I love Josh as much as anyone if not more, so I take no pleasure of saying any of this.

Are you blind? Coleman and Kincaid are wide open for at least 5 yards. It was not a throw away, it was a terrible decision. Did you even watch the play?

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.
