Because the HC has been criticized for coaching not to lose and avoiding risks in high pressure situations. DJ and/or Bills media would never do anything like this to blunt any team or HC criticism. There's an interesting thing with Mcdermott that somehow as a leader he listens. Not sure if players aired their thoughts but I think it's a good message, especially for allen. Best thing for Allen is that he can throw a few picks without being condemned. Not necessarily the best for the teams score but I think it's the best message for Allen's development to trust himself.

Ayjent Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 Maybe it is the realization that they've coached him into playing safer with his throws and now it is time to give him the green light to take more chances since him limiting interceptions hasn't really impacted the teams ability to win (3-3 over past six games). It probably means nothing tbh, but they've got to take the opportunity to let Allen grow and develop into the QB they think he is capable of being even if it means making more mistakes. To me the coaching hasn't been great on the Offensive side of the ball - Daboll isn't terrible, but he's also showing he has limited ability to really use his personnel to the best of their strengths - especially in the screen game - they have some athletic lineman that can move and block in space pretty well (even though they are so so at the point of attack) and a RB that is very dynamic once he gets into space. These are the type of throws that really help a QB and an offense start to get going. Also, too much telegraphing of what is coming at the D based on personnel and formation - they don't mix it up enough out of these formations. I questioned whether Daboll was the right guy and nothing has changed. The Offense isn't inept, but it doesn't take control of games either and despite what people say - it has enough talent to score more than it does, although a stud No. 1 WR would help. 1
Bronxbomber21 Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 All i want to see is the Allen from week 17 last season vs the Dolphins 2
Ayjent Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 This is the McDermott midseason swoon (we've seen it every year) - get ready for them to start picking it up again down the stretch. At least that is what I'm hoping and praying this is. 1

MAJBobby Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 1 hour ago, JoshAllenHasBigHands said: These responses are so stupid. He really is damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. He says "play fearless," some idiot says "coach fearless" like he isn't one of the most aggressive coaches on fourth down or this is somehow bad coaching. He says "don't play fearless," and he would get criticized being too conservative. can someone tell me why in week 11 this has to be a message? Shouldn’t this have been the message from week 1?

Because the message from week 1 has been play it close and limit mistakes on Offense - put the team in position to win. Now the message is changing with the Ls starting to accumulate and the team looking like it is stagnating and getting worse where it was strongest (Defense). So the Offense needs to take off the training wheels and become a strength if it can - it can go one of two ways IMO, but that is better than riding out what it has been doing.
CommonCents Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 Leave the fear out of it. Play Lee Smith and Frank Gore less and never let Andre Roberts run another route 3
Buffalo Junction Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 1 hour ago, dave mcbride said: You know, if Denzel Ward wasn't such a good corner, the take on the playcalling on that drive would be a lot different. The Bills tried to get the ball way down the field to their best offensive player who was in single coverage, which is not a bad idea! Ward simply made a terrific play. There's a reason he was a top-five pick. Good players on the other side sometimes make plays that blow up good plans. I think people neglect the amount of talent Cleveland has in the secondary. Particularly when that talent is combined with Garrett’s pass rushing.... Those guys can make plays and excel in man coverage.

I think after the Pats*** debacle they told him "these turnovers have to stop." Josh overcorrected. If the message from his coach is enough to let him play loose and "let 'er rip" I'm all for it. Let's see what we've got. I’m with ya- this boring lets hope we get in the playoffs kind of football isn’t what most of us are paying to see.

Chill Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 Maybe Sean could tell himself that. Plays wussy Jauron ball.

The game management was very bad and the decision at the end of the game to kick it was even worse.
