Would Williams be the worst hire at HC? He did alright in Cleveland

Anderson doing the Ravens flap at 21 points down. Idiot

At this point no. I don't think they would take a QB first round even if he is the best player available when they are on the clock: 1. They are invested in allen and he has shown development in areas 2. There are some concerning moments shown by allen but even so I think the constant questions and publicity from drafting a number 1 QB again now would be too much of a distraction and hindrance.

Exactly

Yes. Just the mention of 'overthrows' was I think the first time I heard him acknowledge what they are, in lamens terms as it were. I read this as Allen needs to be better there, which is fair. Yes he mentioned about not getting into a good rythmn early (which he often says as its been an issue in earlier games), I read this partly as Daboll can help Allen to get into a rythmn with more higher percentage completions etc, which is also true.

Is allen accurate enough to do this precision? I still can't work that out! ?

What I did notice was in the post game presser, mcdermott mentioned Allen's 'overthrows' which I thought was interesting. He's just stating what we all saw but in the past he would just say there are plays he wants back.

Brilliant throw amazing touch on that one.

Yeah I know what you mean after thinking about this. My hunch would be this is partly why mcdermott had to be restrained in the tunnel. Probably pissed him off.

Just some quick observations from looking at more highlights. There are plays where Allen had no chance, the pressure is coming and the receivers aren't looking at allen so he spins and ends up sacked. There are some plays where Allen doesn't take a gain that is there. Doesnt pull the trigger. Players are open here. There is a play I saw where allen is looking to pull the trigger and kroft is not even looking at allen. Maybe it's a longer developing route but kroft is looking at a Ravens defender in the distance. Allen is sacked. Surely kroft needs to be more aware here. Allen made a few clever ad lib plays and the receivers dropped the ball. Ford and knox getting beat in pass pro.

Just watching the highlights. Knox isn't only dropping balls, he's whiffing on pass Pro aswell.

Totally. If your a high drafted QB you have to be able to hit them. There just isn't an excuse long term.

Great Post. And puts me a bit at ease with that context. Allen has the lowest yards there. But has the one TD, no INT. I think the point about the missed deep throws which would have yanked up the yards, we are yet to know if he can correct those deep balls consistently. We just don't know.

I say draft a wr and a RB who is like a rb/receiver. Cut kroft, get a free agency tight end.

Voted yes as I would want to. I dont think they would have.

What is with the nfl and leading games. Its almost a curse to be 20 points up on a team, guarantees you lose ?

Was there a breakdown on the o line or did they just have more runners?

As hard as it is to say because we didn't get the TD but I think think this was a fine decision by allen with it being the last play. And the throw was good. It's alot of the earlier plays that I would have liked him to step up in the pocket and take some safer throws

Ravens took away throws over the middle? Allen was hitting alot of these in previous games, dont recall alot today.

Exactly. You cant rely on players like that. He will be involved but you need other consistent players on offence.

Duke Williams. The best player ever that the coaching staff who see him everyday decide to not activate.

Different regimes do different things. Under McD Roberts always returns, under rex and Gailey etc there were different returners. I tend to wonder what it would be like if beasley and mckenzie returned some kicks. I think roberts has been consistent though.

Alot of people think Allen has developed. Singletary had been consistently good. Both players have had the mentors and so it can't have hurt.

Players are worried about yards after the catch. Just catch the damn ball, it's a gain

I didn't like mccoy and was glad they got rid of him.
