I think Simon is hitting it on the head. Also, the volume just wasn’t there. He did well with what he got, but the one drop was a huge one. If he makes that, the drive is alive, the FG is much more probable and a TD is still in play. Combine that with the way the 3rd quarter started and it is probably thought to have cost the team the game. I don’t agree, but I could see it being seen that way. The Bills got curb stomped and the coaches blatantly refused to change what wasn’t working until way too late and Brady should get a lashing for his play calls, it’s hard to see Coleman as impressive amongst all that.

Absolutely correct here. I’d also argue for more from Kincaid and Knox, but especially Kincaid. You spent a first round pick on him and traded up to do so, GET HIM THE BALL! Samuel is the only guy on the roster that really has shown to have any big play ability in the past, wtf are we going with him? Nothing. The Ravens outright dared them to throw deep and instead they continued to run/pass into the teeth of the D, I don’t get it. You have to be willing to do something down field, it certainly doesn’t help that there are zero WRs that scare anyone, which was my concern all along, but you still have to push it. As soon as they threw the ball to Coleman who had one on one, they got chunk yards, keep doing it! When the D had 10-11 in the box, you can’t keep trying to run the ball. 4 yards on first down means you have to execute the next 2 plays flawlessly just to keep the drive going and you have to do that 8 times in a row to score. It works when teams screw up, but please don’t tell me both sides of the ball are now going to sit around and wait for the other team to make mistakes to be effective. That is not going to work, especially in the playoffs. Both sides of the ball got out coached and out played, it was pathetic.

Well there goes that streak of games with no losses greater than 6pts

This has been the same play calling all year, the difference has been execution (or lack there of on the opposite side). There has t been a lot going on, just flat out, we’re better than you. Tonight that wasn’t the case. The Ravens DARED them to throw the ball deep, so they ran it into the teeth of the D anyway.

I hate the Chiefs so much

Yep, happy it’s not the Bills

They basically would have to add void years and then cut ties, kick it all down the road as far as possible and it’s still going to make them reset. The only viable option is to add void years and let him sit behind whoever they draft to take over.

Not gonna lie, I thought Harbaugh was better, the way he’s handcuffing Herbert (who also isn’t as good as everyone claims) is awful.

There is quite literally nothing CLE can do without blowing it up.

can’t be on a list, simple solution, don’t put them on it and let them be suspended when they wouldn’t be playing anyway.

Harbaugh is coaching to kick FGs, wtf?!

I would struggle to believe the Giants want to bring in a guy who hasn’t done anything his entire career, until he’s put on an offense that carried Josh Dobbs last season. I don’t mean to take anything away from what Darnold is doing, but whatever GM is dumb enough to sign him to a big deal will be out of a job quicker than Sam will. He’s fools gold. The Vikes would be wise to let him walk and collect their comp pick. Roll with your guy and take a shot at greatness vs pretty good.

It is what it is. As long as ours is 32nd in the round, IDGAF.

He looks so much better, good for him.

Jags suck.

You sign/trade for players that make your team better, but also keeps the competition from getting better, happens all the time. This would be a perfect case of it. Actually he’s super cheap to acquire and especially for a #1 WR. He’s got a base salary of under 9M which 1/4 of is already gone AND 3 void years on the contract already, so you can trade for him, restructure to a vet min deal, kick ~ 6M into signing bonus, meaning a cap hit of 3M and decreasing with every game.

100% agree. The reason this offense goes is the same reason Baltimore can do what they do. Teams cannot key in on any one thing because the QB can burn you multiple ways. Josh even more so than Jackson. You can’t say “ make Allen beat you with his arm”, he will. You can’t say, “make them run the ball” because they will with either Cook, who is WAY better than I have him a chance to be or Allen who is a nightmare to defend on the run. You can’t just put a spy on Allen and wait for the pocket to collapse because he doesn’t know what a pocket is and your spy will end up in the dirt if they come after him. This scheme works because Allen can kill a team in so many ways. It wouldn’t work (nearly as well) with a guy like Tyrod or Fitz because they won’t gash you with every facet of the game, there is a weakness to exploit. If we are being honest, the OL is good, not great. The WRs arguably are the weakest group of individual talents in the league, props to Shakir, I think he’s a “starting slot” WR for many teams, but he’s the only one that’s a “sure” starter for more than the bottom 5 teams. RBs are good, but getting the benefit of Allen making teams pause a second before reacting. I don’t see this team being much more than .500 without Allen.

Bills 35 Birds 16 Ravens settle for FGs early, get one Henry rushing TD late. JA picks apart their weak sauce D.

I’d take him, if for no other reason than to keep him away from KC.

I would expect a player who is known as a “receiving back” to make that play. It’s a fundamentals issue. Elbows need to stay together so you have maximum leverage at the hands, when they are out wide, you have to hope to stop the whole force by timing a perfect pinch of the ball. He CAN clean that up, but will he? Thats another question all together. Until he gets it sorted out, I’d just try to keep that off his route tree.

The list of teams that “just keep winning” are the list of teams that keep losing when it counts too. Interesting, the SB winning teams still all fall to OCs. The rest really aren’t even that good. The only teams you can argue for are Lions (who will lose their OC this year) and the Texans, who again, will have to start over on offense after this year. The rest of the teams suck because they can’t score when it counts.

No they won’t, look how many times people fell for the Parcells, Belicheck etc coaching tree. This league is desperate for talented coaches, Brady has been around long enough to have his own reputation AND the team got better as soon as he took over.

This is so spot on. He’s been very good in the ones he can look in, that wheel route is just not for him. I have been a critic of him/the pick of him, but he’s been really good this year, can’t deny it. He has a hole in his hands when he has to make the over the shoulder catch, easiest solution is to not put him in that situation.

Fair counter point, BUT would you rather put your eggs in Josh Allen’s basket or in any defense’s basket? All I have to do is look at the SB winning teams (for that matter participants), it’s offensively lead teams that are there and winning. I know people will try to claim Belicheck was a D guy, but the offense didn’t change regardless of who was calling the plays, we all know it was his system and Brady was the other component to that who was basically a coach on the field. Aside from all of that if you measure Josh Allen vs the continued failures of the Defensive “genius’” defense in clutch moments in the playoffs and I would rather have the offense stay consistent. McD has done an incredible job with what he has been working with, I am very impressed. Josh has been forced to work with multiple coordinators because he continues to make them look great, that’s a recipe for zero consistency.

0 ints for Allen Cook looking like a true stud RB Defense playing lights out without a starting LB or starting caliber S (for anybody but McD) in sight. 3-0 start with the toughest game being AZ.
