Just a reminder that this is a 5-5 team we're playing. Miami, Atlanta, now this team? Of course it's coaching!

The defense is so, so bad that it couldn't be worse if Beane had devoted the first six picks of every draft in the Allen era to offense and fielded a defense comprised only of low draft picks and free agents. That's how bad this defense is. Of course, the way Beane drafts, the offense might not be any better than it is now.

I'm wondering how this exact same set of players would play after a year with the Houston coaches--and how the Houston players would fare under the famous "McDermott scheme." I think I know the answer.

Shakir, tackled for a loss. Shakir, tackled for no gain. Shakir, goes backwards 15 yards on a kick return. Shakir fumbles. Did I mention that Shakir is considered the best receiver on the team? Says it all, doesn't it?

And they can't get separation once they get down there.

I'd like to see Bernard in Brazil, retired.

There goes Brady's head-coaching gig. Bad news for him and bad new for us.

So I think we finally found the limits of Allen's abilities: If you give him no one to throw to, no running game to lean on, no time to throw, and start his drives inside the ten yard line, an offensive coordinator with the mind of a hamster, THEN he can do nothing. What a lousy player!

Brown blocking air there.

Put together his catches on offense and special teams, and Shakir is averaging -6 yards.

If so, he would do better letting his wife call them instead.

If he retired it would be addition by subtraction. He's a nice player, but he's built like a seventh grader.

For once, that "zero" meme is accurate. I also have zero confidence that McDermott could lead this team to the Super Bowl even with two Josh Allens.

I hope McDermott is taking notes. He would be an assistant coach on this defense.

It would be if Josh Allen played on it.
