McDermott has a lot of responsibility for the offense. He's the HC and it's his philosophy out there

There is plenty of blame to go around. The OL isn't playing well and Brown is injured. Josh is holding the ball to long and he has no one to throw to. Shakir is banged up and hasn't been playing well. Davis is in his second game up from the PS. Palmer is another wasted investment WR. Samuel is hurt again. Moore is invisible. Kincaid is hurt and Knox is not reliable. Brady's scheme is lacking creativity and oh by the way Houston has the best defense in the NFL.

The defense is half practice squad or rookies. And field position goes both ways. The Texans had short fields all night because the mostly healthy offense couldn't move the ball at all. You arbitrarily call one TD "backbreaking" but leave out all the stops they got despite getting no help from the offense. They certainly aren't absolved from all blame, but they certainly haven't been the biggest issue this year.

This is not true

I can see Brian Daboll coaching here next year.

You do know he actually wanted Sam fat old right?

It’s really not that far off, I’d give a new coaching regime a shot first though

And back to reality

suddenly it doesn’t sound so crazy…

Moore was a complete non factor

Just to zag a bit - we definitely DO have points in every season that feel like this. And we literally always finish strong. We're an amazing December team. And we wouldn't feel nearly as low if the Pats weren't having their resurgence - which I agree w/ Newton is kind of fool's gold right now, but they will win the division barring something unusual. I'll still get stoked if we make the playoffs, though - and keep on hoping.

The missed extra point doomed us from the start. I felt then that it was gonna hurt us.

Ok got ya.. not on our D or our HC. My point is this is common and it’s about strategy and the types of coverages we set. You apparently were pleased with the pressure on D Mills all night including that drive?

To be honest, I hate how these games make me feel and how we amplified something something (relatively) insignificant that’s supposed to entertainment into something that negatively affects our mood.

This team looks exhausted from Super Bowl or bust expectations. It’s one thing to rally when you’re new to a situation and you have belief, but these guys know how long a road this is and how difficult it gets, and to be perfectly honest I don’t think they have the will to rally like they once did. The message is old. The roster is weak. The resolve is fading. The fans are feeling the same thing.

They're basically attempting a rebuild while trying to contend at the same time. If you look at the defense, they've completely overhauled it. And once they move on from Milano, White, and Johnson it's basically a brand new defense from 3 years ago. But they lack a blue chip pass rusher, and I dunno how you manufacture that. You either pay 30M+ a year in FA or you find one in the draft, and those guys generally don't slip past the top 15. Meanwhile we now have 3 highly talented players at both corners spots and a safety spot, a good but not great llinebacker, a borderline elite 3T, a highly talented 1T who's just a rookie, and a pretty good run DE in Groot. They add a safety, a quality run defender backer, and hope Taron gets healthy/rejuvenated (he's only 29) and you got a good defense. Offensively, they've completed their rebuild of their OLine. Their ages are 31, 28, 28, 25, 27 from Left to Right. Their TEs going forward are 26 and 24. Their stud RB is 26. Truth is they're trying to attempt something that's insanely hard. I mean the Texans have an elite defense. Meanwhile the Texans defense has a top 3 pick, a top 3 pick, an elite DE free agent, two high quality FA DTs, a top 3 pick at CB, a 2nd round pick at CB, and a 3rd round pick at Safety.

How was the last play offensive pi defender tackles Gabe Davis. Garbage call! Also fire everyone not named Allen and cook. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I mean, let's be real. That very likely would have just led to punts just the same with 10 yards of difference in field position. I guess it adds up over the game, but as long as Allen isn't turning the ball over on his scrambles, I'd say let him scramble. Players need to work back to the ball and get open. If we are asking Allen to throw the ball away on 3rd down we've kind of already lost.

That clip was after the failed 4th/1 where they ran Cook over G for the 4th play in a row (3 to the L, one to the R).

He definitely reminded me of Stallworth tonight. …. Totally invisible. Just another good guy who works hard and becomes a training camp hero, but just isn’t good enough when the real bullets fly

24-20. Pittsburgh. 🤨

Who says that? Warren Moon deserved to win a Super bowl and he didn't .. same with Jim Kelly But Nick foles a career backup has a Super bowl win as a starter That is the NFL.. Jim Kelly didn't deserve better... Josh is getting paid $350 million and he is the most beloved person in Buffalo No he has everything he's ever dreamed of There are plenty of first-round quarterbacks who don't last 5 years... Josh Allen has everything a human being could ever want.. money a beautiful woman an entire city that adores him

Yes

But they would don't you know all we had to do is make it a 2016 first Rounder (yes I'm being sarcastic as like you don't believe he'd end up here).

Just getting in the playoffs should not be a marker of success for this team. McD has never won a road playoff game and this team is now 2-3 on the road and we haven’t played a playoff team on the road yet. In fact the only team we’ve beaten that is currently in a playoff spot is the Bucs and this is week 12. If you think this team has any similarities to those Giants teams you have not been paying attention. They had great defenses.
