Who is more at fault? Beane or McDermott?
HappyDays replied to TonyBeets's topic in The Stadium Wall
Beane is responsible for the offense sucking the past two games. McDermott is responsible for the clown show end up game sequence. -
Worst (regular season) coached game in the entire McD era

I'm really starting to love this WR room. We quietly got better
HappyDays replied to JerseyBills's topic in The Stadium Wall
Nah that's an easy catch for an NFL WR. He 100% lost track of the ball. I'd say the sun got in his eyes but they play in a dome so the reality is Hollins just sucks. Which was known coming into the season. In fact the pass thrown to him on the final series should have been a completion too. It reminded me of Trent Sherfield's deep targets in the divisional round. Just zero ability to even make a play on the ball. Hollins is not a WR. He's a blocker that occasionally makes a catch within 10 yards of the LoS. But that pass was 100% thrown with touch. It was basically a punt. Because Hollins was so wide open Allen just asked him to the easy thing and track the ball. Hollins couldn't do the easy thing because he is hopeless downfield. -

He played about as well as Stroud did which is to say a couple big mistakes and a bunch of really nice throws. Stroud had better pass catchers and better OC performance so his team won. Allen is the victim of his own success. He did not play at his ceiling today, obviously. To say he was "terrible" though is to diminish the definition of the word. Without Shakir this is easily the worst skill position group Allen has had since 2018 and the entire offense falls on his shoulders. His skill players as a group made ONE great play that went above and beyond (Coleman's TD). Everything else was pedestrian to awful. A "terrible" QB performance would have put maybe 3 points on the board. -

Hollins is ridiculously wide open on a busted coverage, walk in TD. Allen just throws it up almost like a punt because it's such an easy completion. Hollins completely fails to track the ball for, again, a walk in TD. Allen escapes the pocket and does a classic roll to the right and throw a bullet to an open pass catcher for a big 3rd down conversion. Unfortunately that pass catcher was Kincaid and he didn't lock in the catch. That is two big game changing plays. And that's just the plays that had a chance to be made. More often than not Allen was clutching the ball waiting for someone to come open and it wasn't happening. All of the wide view replays showed that WRs were not separating. There are times that Allen plays like the best QB in NFL history and in those moments the offense might be unstoppable no matter who else is out there. But that can't be the identity of the team. The offense needs to be able to function when Allen has a less than stellar half. When we get the ball handed to us inside the red zone down by 3, we need to be able to punch in a TD, or at least pick up a single yard. On 1st and 10 at midfield down by 3, we can't give all the momentum back to Houston. Allen having a bad (for him) half of football does not excuse the entire operation, and that operation starts with the nobodies that we're lining up outside. -

This is quite the overreaction. No doubt Allen was off his game in the 1st half but he also got zero help from his pass catchers. Zero. And you know QBs aren't going to be at their very best for all 68 quarters in a season. Other players are allowed to make a play. And how about the 2nd half? Allen performed at his usual level and our offense still couldn't take advantage of multiple gifts handed to us by the defense. The main reason we lost is what everybody reasonable knew coming into the season - we don't have a single starting caliber outside WR. Hollins lost the ball on two separate deep shots. Coleman can't separate. Shakir is a slot WR. MVS is a vertical decoy. And so defenses are doing the obvious thing, crowding the middle and daring us to beat them outside, and we just can't do it. -
Concerned that Joe Brady may have crashed back to reality.
HappyDays replied to Spiderweb's topic in The Stadium Wall
I understand that it is hard to scheme an offense when you have no starting caliber outside WRs but a better performance from Brady today and we would have stolen the win. Our 1st down play calling is way too predictable. The OL looks confused on pressure looks. On a key 3rd down we dialed up a play to MVS against Derek Stingley. On the final series we dialed up a stupid deep shot to Hollins. Too many plays that are dead on arrival and we wasted a great defensive performance as a result. But what are we going to do, fire another OC? McDermott is the one that needs to be held accountable ultimately. This is his hire so it's his offense. -

You have to win 3 consecutive games like this to win a Super Bowl. When is the last time we've won even 1 game like this under McDermott? So frustrating that he has not gotten better in these moments. -

We run it 3 times for 0 yards and we get the game to OT. Instead we dial up a deep shot to freaking Mack Hollins. Why does this team always make the wrong decisions in critical moments of tight games? McDermott owns these mistakes. -

If we had a legit outside WR that's a 30 yard catch. Not to mention the missed TD in Hollins' direction earlier. Beane let down this team. -

Unfortunately this game is an OC mismatch as much as anything else. Brady sucked. We got gift after gift and he couldn't capitalize. -

Kincaid isn't as good as people thought. Samuel isn't as good as people thought. The narrative that we could run an offense through them was just plain incorrect. We need a true outside WR. -

Please make a play at Adams! Do whatever it takes. The conference kind of sucks this year. Don't let the year slip away because you wanted to save your two 2nd rounders. -

HappyDays replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
I'm sorry but Brady isn't that great. He's fine which has been the ceiling of our offensive coaches under McDermott. Play calling is very predictable and suddenly pressure looks are confusing us. The weapons stink but Brady isn't helping. -

Honestly this drive is on our offense. Our defense is injured to hell but has held up and got us all the momentum. We need to be able to put points on the board. -

Our best WR plays in the slot. We need to throw passes to the boundary against defenses like this. -

Win or lose I hope Beane is watching these WRs. Don't fart away an entire season of your elite QB sitting on your hands. This offense is one legit outside WR away from competing for a championship. MVS on a hitch route in tight coverage isn't going to get it done.
