Well to be fair no one said that. In fact the very first sentence of the very first post states that Brady is not the only problem. But he is *a* problem.

McD was holding a play call sheet in the 2nd half. I mentioned it in the GDT.

Yes you are. If you’re going to do it, just own it.

Cant believe i’m saying this offense genuinely misses Mack Hollins.

It drives me absolutely insane!!! There are about 5 humans on earth that can do what Cook can do with a football in his hands and he is on the sideline on 3rd and 4th down! How can a coaching staff watch the play below and not think “this guy needs to be on the field at all times”?

ESPN Ticker: Bills sign Cole Beasley

Bootleg requires play-action and Brady hates those… for some reason.

Josh Palmer is the only one i’ll defend. He is a good complimentary WR. He just isn’t a #1.

DK Metcalf was available for a 2nd round pick this offseason. To put that into perspective, our slow as molasses, late to meetings, drops a lot WR named Keon Coleman was a 2nd round pick. Beane decided to invest in the d-line instead. Pickens was also available - on a rookie contract(!) - for only a 3rd round pick. We took Landon Jackson who looks like he doesn’t even belong in the NFL. Idk i’ve always been a fan of using draft picks on proven commodities over lottery tickets.

I’ll save you the sports psychologist fee. Here is what is wrong with Allen: Have you ever seen a sorrier group of receivers? A slow as molasses 2nd round pick who is late for meetings and drops balls. A perennial practice squad player who is playing a ton of snaps because we have no one else. Elijah freaking Moore!? Want a fun drinking game for a crowd of recovering alcoholics? Throw on the All-22 and drink every time one of our receivers gains separation. They’ll all go home sober. As much as I disliked Diggs antics, he actually gained separation. If he didn’t have such a malignant attitude he could have retired here.

He is certainly not the entire problem. But he is part of it. Its not Beane calling handoffs to Dawson Knox.

Oh I see it now. That’s why it boggles my mind when posters dare to criticize Allen. It is truly incredible how those posters can pick out a play or two from a game and criticize the minutiae of what he did not do perfectly right in extremely difficult situations, when there are entire seasons where he was the only reason they were ever in it. And by the way, that is just a general thought overall. Not speaking specifically about this game.

You have been beating this tired Josh drum for 2 weeks now. Josh did not extend the play because he felt like going out for an afternoon jog. He left the pocket because for the 50th time tonight there was a free Atlanta blitzer coming at him in super sonic speed. As you can see in the image below, Ty Johnson was not even looking when Alllen was flushed from the pocket due to the free blitzer (not to mention the defensive back next to Ty). Allen extended the play out of necessity, and he had no time to stop, reset his hips and conduct a normal over the shoulder throw. His *only* option was the shuffle pass. And if Cook was on the field, I have no doubt that’s a first down, because 1) Ty went too far imo and 2) Ty didn’t come back for the ball at all. Cook catches that. Your Allen hate has reached such ridiculous levels. And btw, I don’t think Josh played well tonight. He had an off game for sure. But *THAT* play you chose to pick on just shows you are trying to find reasons to pick on him. There were several other places you could have picked on, rightfully so.

It is mind boggling how often Cook would not be in the game on 3rd and 4th down.

Totally get it. Brady is NOT the sole reason. But he is *a* reason.

I know he isn’t our sole problem, but Brady makes so many rookie mistakes on a weekly basis and these mistakes compile to make everything more difficult. A few examples: - Cook out of the game in big moments. All of the time!!! This hurt us in the AFC Champ game and today. He is our 2nd best player on offense and he is on the sideline in crucial moments, like third and fourth downs. Today we had Ray freaking Davis on the field on 4th down instead of Cook. - Running repeated “cute” plays that have historically not worked (eg; the Knox/Moore handoff’s behind the LOS), at crucial moments. And when they repeatedly do not work, he fails to learn from it. In the AFC Champ game it was repeatedly running QB sneak when it wasn’t working. - Never having an answer for 4th and short. The historical numbers look good (if you check them), but don’t let that fool you - those numbers are comprised of a bunch of QB sneaks before the league figured them out, and Josh running around and making magic happen. - He still hasn’t come up with a solution to the exotic blitzes that defenses run against us and absolutely jailbreak our o-line. Im done with him. We aren’t winning a Super Bowl with him. PS, I do feel bad for him in that he was given nothing to work with as far as WR’s, but part of this is his fault as I believe he was a driving force in the “everybody eats” mantra. How about “everybody (including a great WR like Metcalf) eats”? That sounds better to me.

Josh is running and coleman is literally doing nothing

Starting with the Offside on the first play of the game that would have given us the ball.

Wonder if McDermott regrets punting several times from midfield (or close to it).

That INT was our last chance. Shaq dropped it.

That game.

We need a defensive turnover or this game is toast.

Yes!!! I wanted to break my TV when I watched Ty Johnson run into the back of his screen blockers.

Almost guarantee that was an option route and Moore went deep (with Allen under siege) and Allen correctly threw the come back.

100% guarantee the WR was supposed to be at that spot and he misread the coverage.
