if only it were so simple unless you think we're 30th in attempts for no reason

we get chastised as spoiled for wanting to get rid of McDermott and his zero SBs but dont blink an eye at the Steelers thinking of canning Tomlin

the bigger difference is Tomlin has a SB ring

have you been watching the pass pro this yr? Would you characterize it as upper tier? or better yet, just answer this: imagine a QB completing 68% of his passes for 12 TDs/4 INTs, 6th in ypa, league average in sacks...w the receivers we currently have. How much better do you need that QB to play? MVP level? Probably is what you're saying, right...so anything other than MVP level play from Allen means he's to blame? I mean ffs you just did it yourself when Mahomes has a couple down yrs- 'oh he had a bad oline' YES he had a bad oline and some questionable pass catchers (not as bad as us, but still)...I'm not going to blame him for 'reading defenses' or 'adjusting protections' poorly because there are contributing factors. He didn't just forget how to play, and neither did Allen. there are REASONS why these things happen

im genuinely curious in this take after witnessing the lowest negative play rate in history last season Did Allen not 'adjust protections' last season? If he did, why couldn't Mahomes? Maybe Allen forgot how to do it this year and Mahomes suddenly remembered? and yes, Allen 100% makes the pass pro look better than it actually is

Take a breath lol I'm agreeing w the premise, I don't think there's anything wrong w the offense that isn't by design

I mean who's talking down to who(m)...the guy explaining his model or the guy correcting his grammar

Correct Put it this way- if you have fewer attempts AND lower ypa you are truly ***** passing wise

I don't care how much English you think you know, correcting grammar on a message board is the height of dbaggery

if you think that second clause in the post you quoted is an example of using language properly I have some bad news for you

Trying to correct grammar w the big edit flag at the bottom is such a tough look lol

I figured they pretty much had to sacrifice him after their playoff performances on offense Not saying he doesn't wear some of that but I think Lamar's postseason issues have to be weighed tooo

So when Mahomes gets sacked it's because his oline is bad and when Allen does it's because he didn't adjust protection?

Ravens pass offense was extremely efficient, they 'fired' him for productivity imo Buffalo he was saddled w tyrod iirc

Mahomes sack rate was more than double Allen's last yr

I'm not so sure Pass pro has not been great this yr I don't think asking him to sit in a muddy pocket and try to throw a bunch of marginal wideouts open is a good idea

70% success rate picking winners is amazing tbh the data i have says NFL favorites win outright 66.7% rate and the models i follow don't approach 68%

he has a ton of talent and potential, truly just needs polishing...and i'm not sure this is the kind of organization that can deliver a finished offensive product tbh

killing the passing game as a byproduct of creating a running offense is what happens when you give the task to a bunch of mediocre offensive minds

are we throwing the ball at the lowest rate in the league simply because the 'scheme sucks' or maybe that was the plan all along? did we just magically appear w a bunch of really average pass catchers or is that maybe a byproduct of the design?

i mean...this was the plan as far as the offense goes. it doesn't look the way it does by accident but i also don't understand people who think there's some untapped potential there. it's honestly one of the worst pass catching groups i can recall

assuming their guys are healthy

who has a worse pass catching group than us? just the browns, right?

Greg Roman has now designed two consecutive very good pass offenses in Baltimore and LAC

w no need, frankly, for allen the idea should still be allen for purdy and three firsts i think it's possible they're actually worse tbh it's been repeated and it's inaccurate
