So I guess coach would have opted for James Hardy instead of DeSean Jackson. Actually Hardy’s combine was pretty good for a 6’5”, 220 lbs wideout. Evaluations are not easy.

getting both McConkey and DeJean would have been a dream come true. McConkey may well already be legit as a # 1 and a lot better than Worthy imo. He certainly seems like Chargers # 1 in any event. No way we could have moved up 20 spots for DeJean in the second though. As for Coleman its early days. I remain hopeful that he will develop into an impactful player.

Milton Williams? 25 years old. 3yrs 36 bucks. Good year for DL draft and the Bills will probably take a couple, but usually takes a year or two before these guys transition. Williams young, good to go and coming off a breakout year.

Like father like son.

I thought they awarded scores all the time.

This is a resilient Washington team. I wouldn't write them off just yet. Daniels is a points machine. Stay tuned.

The technology is there to permit prompt reviews. I don't subscribe to conspiracy theories about biased refereeing. IMO the main problem is the difficulty of always making correct calls given the speed of the game, less than ideal views of the relevant action etc...I guess the League feels that it would open a can of worms. Should a booth review also correct obvious missed calls as well as erroneous ones? Maybe they feel that it would take the game entirely out of the refs hands. However no doubt the status quo ensures that poor refereeing may well have potentially disastrous consequences for the integrity of the product.

Awhile back McD mentioned that the Allen/Cooper chemistry was not yet there and was very much a work in progress. Looks like that hasn't changed. As for Cooper not gaining separation what good is he if he can't separate. Isn't that part of a #1's job description.

Unless the "conservative" strategy and mindset we saw on O in the second half of the Ravens game continues to take the initiative away from Allen. Sure the Ravens made adjustments but by keeping everything in front of them we made their job that much easier and adjustments that much more effective. KC is surely beatable but, unlike the Ravens, they don't beat themselves. Brady needs to open or revisit the playbook and challenge the Chiefs in the intermediate and deep parts of the field. Josh Allen is your principal asset by far needless to say. You go with your best shot even if that also raises the risk profile. Do not take the ball out of his hands. He is and has always been an aggressive player, sometimes too aggressive, but the solution is not to neuter him or ask him to execute like a lesser QB who cannot be trusted to make enough plays. I say that fully recognizing the importance of limiting errors, especially turnovers, and especially in a playoff game.

Best 3rd down back in the league

I hear a fat lady singing

Josh has seen this movie before.

Why push him out of bounds?

He got hollined

TD here and it's over

But was he told to call it conservative?

Ravens have adjusted. Brady not so much (yet).

What about the hold?

Lamar is doing his part.

Ref stole 3 points at least.

That poster was a Ravens fan.

Yeah. Go with your best shot (Allen) to set the tone and take the initiative. At least you avoid the opposite.

This is for all the marble(s) imo. Winner best bet by far to become champs.

Rams o-line lost it.

Haha Nacua so good
