Buffalo Barbarian

I could be ranked second in defense in the ACC

Hes the guy, he believes in growth mindset and he will learn to stay aggressive all game instead of relying on the defense with the lead , which rarely works unless there is little time left.

absolutely, drops and inability to protect Allen was a major cause for today's loss. Not happening and hes not the problem, he made a lot of great plays and a few questionable ones, those will get cleaned up. WRs that can catch will make Allen much better.

I hope there is a ton of pain. They need to let this drive them to improve and regret the great opportunity they had this year. Nothing is guaranteed and they need to take advantage when time is present. I expect to be back next year but you never now.

Drops have been the plague of our WRs corp, our guys get open but if you dont catch it, its all for naught. We really need to bring guys in WHO CAN CATCH.

Definitely, just needs more help so he doesn't try to do it all himself.

Those play calls definitely cost us along with huge sacks taking us out of FG range and refs thinking blocking is a personal foul. That run with before the first half was just dumb, we didn't have time to run every play should have been a pass there.

i really like McDermott's process and team building but this conservative crap has to stop or we will never be the elite team he/ we expect.

Thats because he was trying go for the jugular instead of burning clock.

No we need a LB that can tackle QBs and RBs, we already have two good cover LBs.

sad to see him go but excited about getting fresh talent to replace the aging stars.

This should be the end of the evil empire, but what makes me sad about it is we didn't beat them this year to be the ones to end it.

They do when they are as raw as Allen, he was the least ready of the QBs when he came out, he definitely had some had scratchers today, but he has learned from his mistakes and i believe he will from this as well. Drew Brees wasnt good his first two years but his third year finally figured it out. Allen has a ways to go but he will get there.

Like I always say, it's not how many great plays you make; it's how few bad ones you make. I know fans, and even some losing coaches, are enamored with long pass completions or the great run plays, but that doesn't offset the interception or the fumble. Jimmy Johnson

im with ya , feeling slightly better but this loss really hurt when we should have blown them out of the water. We have to step on the gas when we have the lead. As long as they learn how to put teams away instead of letting them hang around a make a comeback.

I m still depressed about the game i didn't even watch the patriots, will in a minute. I expected this from this team but im still mad and sad about. There were so many good plays but a few that cost us (plus some ref help). Jimmy Johnson was right its not the good plays that count but the bad plays that cost you. the patriots lost feels like a waste in that it get us a better opportunity and we blew it. McDermott talks about growth mindset and i hope this loss really gets him to reevaluate his conservative approach when we have a lead, we need to step on the gas both offensively and defensively, running the ball a the end of the 1st half with no time outs was beyond stupid and we settled for a FG when we should have tried for a TD, which would have won us the game.

completely BS rule that needs to be reversed, there is NOTHING wrong with that play. Whats he supposed to do just let go on by and make the play?

no the ref did not accept that and let the play continue.

seriously ?? T They gave away our TD for common sense and took us out of FG range when we could have kicked the winning FG plus other ticky Tak calls.

Refs were giving it to the Texans every chance they could.

it was just "common sense"

What is that.

Josh made a lot of great plays and a few dumb ones. He learns from his mistakes so we are headed in the right direction, need to get RT, WRs, backup RB and TE, a Friggin LB that can tackle and another elite CB.

Yep gave up too many plays from these positions.

Friggin BS , NO WAY should have lost this game, needed TDS not FGs
