Giants fans say he's very unreliable

Anyone who doesn't have orthodox or "old school" view on offensive play calling. I don't want to see runs on 1st and 2nd down in all situations or any of that run to open up the pass garbage. We need innovative. So Daboll but without the weird random onset run obsessions or strange need to get cute at times.

Sullivan: Bills' McDermott choked away Super Bowl-caliber season
thewookie1 replied to QCity's topic in The Stadium Wall
Did McD and the coaches choke, yes. But that was all Reid was known for until his time with Mahomes. A coach can learn and adjust; McD has grown over time himself. I do hope McD takes the blame, after all he shouldn’t be fired for this and it would give further credence to his 1 out of 11 mantra. In this case the plus coaches area screwed up while trying to prevent Mahomes from going down the field. For all we know the defense just wasn’t sure how to cover Hill + Kelce in this unusual situation. It’s not exactly a common situation to have the opposing team have 3 TOs and two of the best targets in the game. I have tried to figure out what the best plan for the defense would of been and end up slightly concerned regardless. If you run a traditional defense you run the risk of them going over the top with either of their major targets. If you rush less than 4, Mahomes likely has more time to wait and thus throw a longer pass. It honestly felt as if the Bills were hoping KC would kill their own clock by waiting for a long pass or by throwing multiple short ones. My suggestion would of been to rush 3 with Rousseau, Oliver, and either Hughes or Phillips. Have 8 guys in coverage with 6 DBs and 2 LBs. Have Edmunds and Milano line up at the line against Kelce and Hill and bump them off the snap. Don’t hold since that isn’t allowed anymore but just give them a thump. After that have the other 6 DBs play a protective umbrella with the LBs “covering” the two big targets. The bump should kill 1 second more. By keeping an LB following the two main targets you are looking for more sure tacklers but also to merely force Mahomes to put a little more air under the pass. Essentially do everything you can to keep them throwing shortish but while trying to make them waste time by preventing “Go” routes. Hell, use Hill’s running ability against them by trying to give an illusion of space so he runs around a little. -
If he can fix it, his ability to bounce out of bad games within the game itself. For instance games like the Jaguars game where he never seemed quite right. (Granted the OL had a lot to do with it) If he can improve his consistency and make his worst games still be at a higher level he has everything required to be the best QB in the NFL bar none. He has all of Mahomes' skill but also has the ability to run like a RB which Mahomes can't exactly do. If Allen were to play next season like he did in the playoffs, he'd shatter records. Besides that, he can always work on accuracy, recognizing defenses, etc. No QB is perfect and Allen is no exception, however he arguably has the greatest pool in which to fill. (Effectively if Fromm were a kiddie pool and Trubisky a regular 4ft pool, Allen would essentially be one of those giant waterpark pools twice the size of Olympic swimming pools)

Allen is rather close to what Fitz would of been if he had a "unicorn" body. Both are gunslingers who will do anything and everything they can to win a game.

To be honest I think it was a combination of the Patriots never adjusting and relying so much on their lineman who just didn't get to Allen all day and likely Allen giving a heartfelt speech to his line when he gave them their gifts. You know like some akin to, "We've all have had troubles this year, our team is banged up and sick but I know we can do it. I know all of you here can do it; so let's have a good Christmas and go out there Sunday and break the Pats!"

A Few Thoughts about the Patriots* Game, in no particular order
thewookie1 replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall
The game just sucked all around; our team is incapable of stopping run-heavy offenses and can neither run effectively or efficiently. I'll give Diggs a mulligan for his drop; when you watch the replay, the ball seems to hit a gust just as he's at the 5 or so and it falls unusually. Seeing as a player can't literally watch the ball into his hands while also running full speed and trying to stay inbounds I can certainly guess what happened. When the ball is coming his way, a receiver makes multiple glances at the ball and his surroundings. Diggs likely glanced up, determined its trajectory and at some point between two glances the ball lost all of its forward velocity thus instead of reaching his hands it dropped aggressively and hit his arm. Just look at his face, he's completely baffled as to how the ball ended up where it did. Stone handed Knox returned and either his season start was a mirage or his recently injured hand didn't take to the weather real well. (After all, Allen had to put serious juice on the ball and it was cold) Our RBs should be ashamed of their performances; on one of the RZ drives Singletary had the outside open with only 1 guy to beat and instead he ran it into a pile of guys for 1 yard. Peyton Manning even commented on it. Someone please tell Allen to stop bothering with offside free-plays; the refs have no interest in helping us. Otherwise he had a solid game. You could tell on a few throws, like the one on the final red zone drive, that the ball wasn't behaving very well with throws going on an angle or laterally. A back shoulder throw that you have to throw on a rope, at a diagonal, into a gust of wind is going to curve to the right. (Just like Bass's missed FG) But unlike a FG kicker, Allen has little hope in trying to bend a ball on a curve while trying to lead a receiver. -
12/6/21 Gameday Thread Bills vs. Pats* 2nd Half Thread
thewookie1 replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall
Allen played well at least. The stone hands came out in force and add in the wind and you've got ample excuses for a few of the missed throws. Unsure what else to say; probably done watching for a while if not the season. -
11/7/21 Bills @ Jaguars Postgame Thread
thewookie1 replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Pretty much my best guess; he's never "not" tried to get players at the deadline but OL are not exactly an easy purchase at the deadline. He could of got another DB but I can understand hesitance based on the health we had going into the game. -
11/7/21 Bills @ Jaguars Postgame Thread

I doubt anyone would feel great after running a gauntlet for 30+ minutes of running for your life and trying to drag a corpse of an offensive line up the field. -
Give Allen some credit for his play today
thewookie1 replied to HappyDays's topic in The Stadium Wall
Allen's 3 Turnovers: 1. Bad Throw, to be honest I have no clue what happened there. 2. Bad Decision while under duress 3. Meaningless, he fumbled a ball on a 4th and 2 trying to get a 1st down. They gained at most 1 yard more than had we turned it over on downs. -
Is Sweeney supposed to be in that exact location? If Allen tries to rope the ball to Sanders there; Sweeney may go up for it thinking he's targeted. That may have been just as much an issue as the two Jacksonville guys in the area.

It's amazing how many times my opinion slowly shifted to being against Gruden as the 2nd set of emails came to light. Sending Emails to a friend of Topless cheerleaders -- tasteless but not exactly evil. Potentially sending them from a company email -- completely idiotic but still not doomsday level Complaining about the protest -- unless there was overly racist phrases used then it would not be wrong to voice a disagreement (If Goodell actually pressured a team to take Michael Sam, then that's worthy of complaint) That being said using slurs is unacceptable. Being against women refs in itself isn't evil; but based on the information we have it certainly seems as if more derogatory language was used thus not good Calling the league's commissioner slurs while working in a career that revolves around said league is both wrong but worse, it's idiotic At the end of the day he screwed himself and I have little sympathy for him

9/26/21 Bills vs. WTF Postgame Thread
thewookie1 replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
To be honest, I wonder if the wind helped snap Allen out of it today. He couldn't put the touch on it like he did last week and was effectively forced to use his powerful arm and confidence in order to succeed to which he did in spades. -
I might trade up and try and get that Syracuse DB

RD 1, Pick 30: Greg Rousseau, Edge (Miami) Public Poll Added
thewookie1 replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I would certainly trade up with our 2nd to try and get Asante Samuel Jr. if he makes it to tomorrow. Then we'd have a risky pick and a safe pick. -

Risky pick but he certainly seems like a passionate player and that is right up our coaching staff's alley. -
Isaiah McKenzie is VERY busy! He'll call you back!
thewookie1 replied to Draconator's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm guessing only parts of it were scripted in terms of likely telling the players they might be in a gag video soon. Aside from that I'd say it was probably pretty much real. -
30. Caleb Farley CB Virginia Tech 61. Jabril Cox LB LSU 93. Quincy Roche EDGE Miami (FL) 161. Aaron Banks OG Notre Dame 174. William Bradley-King EDGE Baylor 213.
