If we trade for a WR its going to be some has-been that will contribute little. Its Beane’s MO. Metcalf and Pickens being available this past offseason and Beane sitting on his hands is so frustrating. That talent is not available often. He could have had BOTH for only a 2nd and 3rd round pick. Allen would have feasted.

Not shocking at all imo. Brady ran the same 4th down mesh beater over and over and over last season. He also ran the same QB sneak numerous times when it wasn’t working. He just… is not good. He’s like the anti- Ben Johnson. Where Ben has endless variety to his plays, Brady has none.

Its kinda funny that fans are so used to Allen being an absolute freak of nature that they expect him to flip his hips in a fraction of second while 2 defenders are feet from him and throw an on target pass to a moving Ty Johnson who went too far downfield. If Allen turns to stops to flip his hips here, he is 100% getting hit and there is a good chance the ball comes out with a fumble. Some of you expect the most ridiculous stuff.

This never happened. Allen was flushed from the pocket by a free blitzer who NO ONE TOUCHED. As you can see in the image below, Ty Johnson was not even looking when Allen was originally running for his life (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. By the time Ty was in any position to catch a pass, Allen’s *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.

This is only possible if receivers get open. Ours don’t.

Well yeah, after he brought in a top 5 overall WR and a top 5 slot receiver, and a speedy veteran, along with drafted Gabe Davis … he didn’t really need to do anything else in Daboll’s last year at WR. The WR room looked good. Thats completely different than how it looks now. There is really no comparison.

Before Brady arrived, Beane went out and got Diggs, Beasley, Sanders, etc. They were active in recruiting WR’s. After Brady, Beane is comfortable running with Coleman and Palmer. There is no doubt in my mind that they are running with Brady’s “everybody eats” mentality.

This has been happening since last year. Fourth down in the AFC championship game, the biggest player of the entire year, Cook is watching from the sidelines. When McDermott was asked after the game why Cook was not in the game at certain points, McDermot responded “good point”, seemingly throwing Joe Brady under the bus.

He shares blame for the WR’s imo. He brought the “everybody eats” mentality that Beane ran with.

He is 100% throwing Brady under the bus there.

Yeah I can’t believe he punted there either.

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.
