Such a moron defensive call

I said it it more words and less well, but I said it first by seconds!!

He's just flipping super man sometimes, after a bad fumble, but still.

What is with this team and screens!!!? No flag, but how could they not free kinkaid?

22 is looking quick out there. Hopefully Brady is developing his feel for the game and is learning how to know who has the juice. He's awful at that at pass catching weapons so far.

Another clutch bass play!

Bass blows What a bad contract that was

Our offense is so bush league and stupid. It's like we either get an advantage from running or it's all over, but we don't really scheme up anything creative running

i think higgins is sick, but his contract is gonna be epic, and i don't know that he's better or much better for us right now than adams or metcalf. my fantasy crafted idea is we trade our 2nds away for metcalf and adams this season as the raiders eat adams cap and win a chip, but that's madden stuff!

people hate jones, and maybe often with good reason, but his teams always trot out elite level talent. to whatever extent he is responsible for hiring or training the scouts (or building and keeping the operation that does so) he's a top flight GM. they got a pro bowl qb in the 4th or 5th round, top level talent at corner and edge, and always have sick backs, wrs, and oline talent. he's kinda sucked from a selecting coaches pov i suppose with the clown they have now, but it's clear he wants experience at HC. johnson, switzer, parcels, that dude they had before, and now this goof all had some shining cv's. being the cowboys makes them a magnet for talent tho, so it could be argued some of their shine is just that, and people want to play for them. as much as i get down on mccorch, our team seems like the opposite of theirs, we have depth and breadth and outside of allen zero top flight guys, they are a one note band on both side of the ball (crush aggressive passers on d, big play capability on o). i dislike dallas but i think i hate them less than most fans right now. i do think if they get billy b they might be a problem.

based on our picks and cap limitations, i'm holding out for dk and adams both getting traded for. that's just cheat code talent.

Is Johnson in? Shakir, cook, tj and tb would be a biiiiig help

If the raiders eat some cap, is go a 2nd or a 2nd and a 4/5 for Adams. I don't think they get more than that. I'd also like dk Metcalf or amari cooper id Adams can't happen. Imo Adams is a superior wr to diggs, and particularly for what the bills need. Adams is dominant on the outside, and lets you move Coleman around, if they wake up it can put Samuels in good positions, and if you throw in Shakir and kinkaid then all of a sudden you have a real passing threat all over the place. Adams in place of hollins and mvs on those two plays to the left side that went no where vs Houston gets you points and you walk away 4-1 and humming.

Even if cook could have come open, it's pretty clear Allen wasn't trusting anything and that includes his OL which is why he was rushing things. Cosel made a good point of running things Allen is comfortable with. We gotta have some stuff that works, in the past it has mostly been creative stuff on first down but evidently we don't do that anymore.

I'm being optimistic and that was gonna bey pick. I'll go 31-20 for the bills instead. Dang it, sooner scooped me. 34 -20 bills over jets

the von miller contract will go down very binary. if he is healthy and in the playoffs gets us some clutch plays that advance us to a chip, then it's 100% worth it. if he does not, then it was not worth it. from that perspective, you can throw in the diggs contract extension as worse. he was a guy on the team, so that's not an FA signing, but he fell off of a cliff late in the season and was a zero post season for the two years he played for us post contract. we paid what, 80mm (including the dead money this year) for a solid nfl starter over the course of the regular season (lights out to start, meh to the power of meh late) and a zero in the playoffs for two seasons.

with our offensive disarray and shakir, cook, and samuels being down, this has the chance to be shockingly ugly. they will be forced to play 2 tes, more direct runs, allen runs, so maybe that helps us get the w

new england during their dynasty and kc today have zero qualms about trotting out 2 or 3 tes, 2 rbs, only 1 or 2 wrs, different formations and drive blocking for the rb to take the edge with a head of steam, chip away at the edges to backs and tes for short gains, and changing it up out of the same look via play action and other trickery. i baffles me that our staff just can't get that going, maybe we just suck at blocking and are too light in the ass? i dunno, but all of that and the total zero screen game is just basic football blunders and should be correctable.

good luck homie.

bro, i don't even get how they are surprised -- Ty has caught clutch balls and TDs for a while now. he has a fast acceleration if not the best top speed and that's a change up for us. kinda shocking the corches don't have him in there more, making teams pay for what they are doing (which sadly is working). sometimes this team (same offensive system/lineage) falls into the dabol trap of seeking novelty vs finding the bread and butter and milking it for all it is worth.

seems consistent w what alpha said the other day and marino said on his podcast. aside from the poor recognition/play by the ol in passing downs, being behind the sticks, and bad outside talent, allen took the cheese and was off of his reads to quick/went for the deeper shot too much vs what was more certain. i think the bottom line is if you give allen an in he takes a mile, but if you confuse or rattle him early he falters to type where he goes deep and greedy and does not take what is there. allen wants to hit like 10-25 yards down field during confusion, he's the best i've ever seen at that. the d's know this and are trying to make him mistime underneath stuff (rushing as well as not hitting the freebies underneath) or dare him to make accurate passes down field. the big issue yesterday for allen was he failed to make some available plays within the scheme of the O, which i think is because his OC set him up for a world of hurt vs baltimore and he just doesn't trust it.

that's a very astute observation. marino had his latest podcast -- he speculated that allen might have decided to push for more vertical stuff on the final game losing drive on O. he pointed out mcd mouthing that we just need a first down on the sideline as well. in pressure/panic situations josh seems to have solved his sugar high stuff for the most part, but it does seem like he has a tendency to hold longer and hope for something to open up too much. if say 5 of his 21 incompletes were thrown to a shorter easier route it likely gets us the w, most critically on the last drive.

i dunno man, maybe he should be top 3 so that we can sign street free agents and put all our first 4 round picks into DL! lol, allen does make mistakes on deep throws but we notice it because he makes so few on other throws, but the above is crazy. just not a lot of talent at wr. allen's main issue to me is his pre snap reads and that he errs on the side of holding it a bit long to go for the bigger play. he solved at least the latter somewhat in the first three games and it was glorious. let's hope he does that vs the jets.

all of this is very true, but the absolute basis of football is the big uglys causing havoc. no separation, so speed or talent, bad scheme and worse playcalling, along with allen laying an egg two weeks in a row is putrid, but our biggest issue is up front. the sad thing is, our OL can actually block, and even pass protect. but we are so awful as a team (allen has to recognize and figure stuff out pre snap) at dealing with blitzes, fake pressure, and stunts. bmore and houston are good pass rushing teams, but you just can't fall off as hard as we have vs pressure. guys not getting open and not being able to run screens is a big downer, but basic pre snap reads and being set up for what the d front is doing is missing. running when they know it and passing when they know it just compounds the issue. for deep passes, most teams that do well only really attempt them when there are blown coverages, off of play action, and when the d is not expecting it. allen is cheeks at deep throws, but we do not set him up to succeed.

ok, i did a tiny it of looking on this. he has a horrible attitude, seems dumb as a post, and has zero fundamental football skills. he's like taylor mays, the usc safety who got drafted in the 2nd round by SF, except with a bad attitude, and had like two magic seasons to start his career. literally top chart talent tho
