if not for the tip ball on the play prior a mesh concept would’ve worked stellar

Rebuilds take 5 minutes these days. It’s not some 5 year process

it’s really super simple. all 53 guys we have are talented. Even our practice squad guys are. There’s a reason we get excited for WR8 flashing potential basically every year. the problem is the fringe guys can flash it here and there while the elite can do it week in and week out consistently. do you not recall getting excited about 2 weeks of good play from some low end player for like 20 years? Allen can’t carry that all by himself but sometimes they will flash alongside him. You are confusing “skill” with “results in small samples”

I can’t repeat enough that we seem to be ignoring the hammering he took including an injury immediately proceeding this throw. I feel like we need to splice him trying to fix his throwing hand alongside him not having his normal zip on this throw

call me crazy but I do t think Josh and McDermott are a particularly good pair to begin with. and now it feels like a lot of the offense is a Josh fan club instead of guys that will press/challenge him It just has that “low positive” season lack of fire to win around the whole group

too many of them became Josh Allen fans with the mvp instead of Josh Allen teammates

that one looked so weird live im guessing he hit a strange angle/position that created an instant of being unable to engage well but it looks terrible. I had not noticed it as a trend

now ask if a team in our cycle should be paying 20m for that type of player

he also had just injured his throwing arm/hand

yup - we ran it back with an unsustainable model no the worst part is that last year was supposed to be the reset but turned into the new normal when we committed to everyone staying and not adding much

Palmer had space too. Josh was just criminally abused and physically couldn’t get it to him it seemed.

without going back to watch the mechanics my gut ageees

Marginally? Compared to the last two years he’s same YPC and halfway to his production. talent matters. You are comparing a guy who was top 10 to a guy that’s top 64

we lost to their defenses

does it strike you while typing that he can trust an elite guy but struggles at times with mediocre guys? Talent matters. We’ve given him little on the perimeter.

the offense didn’t have the talent on the field to do what fans are clamoring for There are only so many ways to hero ball Josh-James with the defense not having to cover anything over the top or slow developing

Allen was drastically beaten up and had Palmer but not the physical capability to get it there at that point.

I think McDermott is the philosophy while Brady is the executor the problem remains no WR1 though facing a real pass rush with even marginal secondary and we are sunk. there are only so many concepts to quickly scheme open mediocre WRs play in and play out. Often those routes take time. If the dbs can sit on those handful of quick plays, not worry about the deep threat and the pass rush bails them out of the playground ball plays…. We are cooked.

Still likely a playoff team still hate that we’ve assembled a room of WR3 and WR4 guys Some of them very good in those roles… but cannot be a starting group in the modern nfl

billsy move by the Texans there

inside end around to grape Davis

Feels like not as much pre-snap motion tonight. Maybe I’m wrong.

so many of us beat the drum of our team not being built to win a matchup like this and got served a healthy dose of everybody says

he should be on the field but with the defense keying between the tackles he should’ve been going perimeter - whether run, pass or decoy

If going up the middle go with Josh
