When your QB is making a Bazillion $ , you can’t keep many FAs.

Who’s scouting reports was McDermott working with? Great idea, let’s bet on a QB who was scouted by the scouts and GM who were going to be fired after the draft. At least McDermott had a frame of reference in assessing defensive players.

Not worth the time to respond to this, BUT: This team was a VERY under-talented group when he arrived. They have improved the talent-level in the two years that he has been here and they could not fix everything in that time. i have no problem with them trying to stabilize the defense first - especially given that the GM Beane wasn’t even aboard for the draft in 2017. I understand that it is frustrating that Watson and Mahomes both look good, so far, but would you really want a lame-duck GM to draft your QB?

Both: poor pass on the run, but still should have been caught. He made a great play to get away, but needed to take the time that he bought to make a semi-accurate throw. Clay was WIDE open and, yes, Allen was running the other direction, but if he’d have set his feet, he could have made a very good throw. i *hope* that this is a hangover from playing on a very under-talented Wyoming team (and a bottom 5 NFL offense), but he NEEDS to clean up the ducks he is throwing. Some of that will come if they can put a good OL in front of him and some will come with good NFL receivers, but he can’t have 10% ducks and succeed in the league.

Agreed, I see it the same way.

Yes, true. I’m not an Allen hater, but too many balls came out as ducks. i choose to believe that this is because the OL isn’t giving him adequate blocking and that the Receivers are not helping and that he is throwing on poor down and distances, but there are an alarming number of wounded ducks coming out of his hand.

Was a great catch by Stills - took it away from defender

Great! Those are the quick passes that were missing

Ok, that was a play

There another quick pass, but negated by penalty

There

The out patterns were called liberally with Peterman who di not have the arm to throw them, Allen certainly has the arm, but they are never called

Need a few quick outs to gain confidence

Got it back!

Rookie mistake

Does this team even have any short quick pass plays in the playbook?

That was a great pass, followed by not a good one.

Too predictable.

He did not bother to get his feet right before he threw that awful pass. He certainly had the time to do so - at least on that play. That is part of the problem of a raw rookie QB playing behind a bad OL. He is developing/reinforcing bad mechanics even when not necessary

That was really bad

Nice!

Who is this Mckittrick?

That was a very wobbly duck

Might not look like much, but important to see Allen throw a short pass for a 1st.

Offense and ST playing to their low talent levels.
