Coach Tuesday

There is so much to say here. I think Allen was concussed by the Watt sack that Ford gave up. That was the pivotal play of the game and they left their overmatched, heavy-footed GUARD, whom they traded up for instead of taking a playmaker and then stubbornly fixed at right tackle all season, guard 99 by himself. Huge error in scouting and personnel management compounded by stubbornness. That’s what you get. (These are the same morons who started Peterman and let a raw rookie QB start his first season with no QB coach and no line). After that play everything changed. Allen was shook and I believe injured - the ball wasn’t coming out right, he looked confused and rushed. Two things about that: first, the risk you take when your OC is up in the booth is that he looses the feel for how his guys are doing mentally. Someone should’ve seen that Allen wasn’t right and STOPPED RUNNING A FIVE WIDE SPREAD OFFENSE at that point. Second, this is why all things being equal you take the raw QB who at least has played big games in a big program. Watson has been there before many times; Allen wasn’t ready for the lights. Throwing a jump ball to the fullback in double coverage when you just need a first down; refusing to take the easy slants when you just need a first down; the kid was totally SHOOK in by far the biggest game of his life and his coaches did NOTHING to help him out. Allen played scared and lost after the Watt hit and his coaches let him down by coaching negligently and scared. Tonight was a giant organizational face plant and they should be ashamed of themselves (as should the posters who were high-fiving Beane with A+ grades in a separate thread all week). Lots of questions to answer in the offseason and it’s times like these I wish we had a more sophisticated ownership group. This kind of crap would not be tolerated in more storied and stable organizations. There needs to be accountability and some kind of reckoning after today. Also Roger Goodell is an a-hole. I hate him.

Goodell’s league is a joke but when your QB plays shook, it don’t matter.

Sure go give him the first down refs. What is happening.

All hell has broken loose.

Is Allen concussed?

That drive was a fireable offense. Trade McD to the Panthers for Tepper’s 1st.

All of the demons have come to roost in this game - all of them. The fumbling, the shell play calling, the guard stubbornly fixed as a right tackle, the refs calling it one way, Josh being a tad too late with his reads - it’s all on display. Lots to fix in the offseason.

This is just a brutal turn of events and it all started with a Cody Ford not being an NFL right tackle.

30 years of horrible right tackle play has led up to this moment and I’m furious.

I’m good to move on from Poyer this offseason.

Soft.

This is all on Ford.

I don’t want to get banned so I won’t post my thoughts about Cody Ford.

Too much of a tell. At least Smith could catch passes in theory...

Thinking of going to see a movie later, maybe Little Women.

If anyone wants a soggy bruschetta appetizer, the Sabres play at 1 pm...

I’m not saying the Bills should do it - but Jonathan Taylor is going to Canton one day. I’m convinced. He’s the most natural RB I’ve seen in many, many years - maybe ever.

I’ve got no issue with Daboll’s player development - he’s clearly a good coach who can develop and improve players on offense. Where I struggle with him is on game planning and play calling between the 40s. Something happens when the Bills get to midfield - he seems to completely lose his feel for the game and the play calling becomes ridiculous. Maybe he can fix it, I don’t know.

Wait it’s today??

Which young QBs has Chan developed? It's an odd choice if they're going to be drafting a QB early in 2020.

Why would that affect the rate?

I don't see how the Browns could sell Daboll to the fanbase - his profile just looks too much like Kitchens' - heck, they even look like identical twins...

I've said it before - McD's best quality may be his ability to adapt.

This is exactly where I’m at. The Bills need to start adding some Kamaras, Hardmans and Hunts to their offense. Maybe a Hunter Henry as well.
