He drops the ball a lot.
https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Coopers-Drop-Rate-Ranks-Among-NFLs-Worst-479158283.html
Over the past three seasons, Cooper has had a drop rate of 13.62 percent, which ranks fourth-worst in the NFL (among qualifying receivers) behind Torrey Smith (16.82), J.J. Nelson (15.91) and Raiders teammate Seth Roberts (14.39).
Wrote Scott Barrett of PFF: “Cooper led the league in drops (18) and drop rate (20.0 percent) in his rookie season (2015), but then seemed to get past the issue in 2016, dropping only four passes. In 2017, Cooper again led the league in drop rate (17.2 percent). Not only are these numbers bad, but they’re historically bad. Since 2007, there have only been three players to see at least 100 targets and post a drop rate of 17 percent or worse: Braylon Edwards (2007 and 2008), Greg Little (2011) and Cooper (2015 and 2017).”Personally I wouldn't go higher than a 4th and maybe Lawson. At the very least he gets separation and is dangerous with the ball in his hands.

A few good breakdowns here:
That quick bail from the pocket had me very concerned the first time I saw it. But now you can see the defense confused him by showing the same look on the previous play. He wasn't seeing ghosts in the pocket, he just made the wrong read. Pettine called a great game. That's the kind of thing Allen should learn with experience.

Do they actually do that?
Had no idea, but whatever it takes to win I guess.
I hate the patties but they do whatever it takes, no matter the cost.
Yep and it's totally legal:
https://ftw.usatoday.com/2017/11/nfl-sean-mcvay-rams-saints-jared-goff-audibles
McVay gets the Rams lined up quickly, leaving him enough time to assess the defense and call an audible (if necessary) before the play clock hits the 15-second mark. That’s when the headset communication between the coach and quarterback cuts off.
We saw a couple of examples of McVay working his pre-snap magic from the sideline against the Saints. Notice how McVay is still making calls with Goff at the line of scrimmage…
Goff relays McVay’s call to his teammates, and Todd Gurley finds himself wide open over the middle thanks to a great check by the coach.
McVay does it again on the next drive. This time for a touchdown…
You can see McVay making his initial call, eyeing the defense for a bit then calling in the audible. Goff makes the change at the line before throwing a touchdown pass.
God forbid NFL coaches actually try to make a quarterback’s job easier. Instead of complaining about the college set-up, the Rams’ 31-year-old head coach found a way to bring it to the NFL and make life for his quarterback so much easier. That’s what good coaches do.
And McVay’s team is scoring more than 30 points a game with this strategy. It will only be a matter of time before other coaches follow suit.And by the way I hate that McVay does this. I think it should be against the rules. But since it isn't I am baffled that he's the only coach doing this. People call him an offensive genius for this but it seems to me he's just practicing basic common sense which for some reason eludes 99% of NFL coaches.

I watched the short vid.
all I took from it was some rando came off the left edge totally free for a sack and no one was close to being open.
idk what the hell warner or orlovosky or whatever the hell his name are talking about.
But to expect Allen to diagnose all of this in his 3rd ever start against an exotic defensive scheme, and make the correct audibles to adjust is a bit foolish.
I don't know why we aren't doing what McVay did with Goff. Daboll should literally be feeding Josh Allen the defensive coverage before the radio feed goes off. Until it's against the rules we're missing out on a free advantage.

You probably know better than Kurt Warner. And Tony Romo for that matter.

True the Bears did bring in Allen Robinson. How much they use him is debatable. (I know being hai frustrated fantasy owner)
but Los Angeles...totally. Woods, Cooks. They loaded up
Here's the free agent list for next year:
https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/all/wide-receiver/
My targets would be:
Golden Tate
Randall Cobb
John Brown
Kevin White (kick the tires for cheap)
Mike Wallace
Quincy Enuwa
Of course knowing this regime we'll go for Devin Funchess but we have to do something.
-
I think the bigger thing those franchises did is they spent a ton of money on offense in the QB's sophomore seasons. Presumably that is our plan for next year too. But it all depends on Allen developing.

Nice series Denver. Gutless coaching at its finest.
That series was pathetic to watch. The whole offense should be embarrassed.

Oh look a young QB airs a terrible throw off his back foot that should have been picked

See I'm enjoying this game a lot more than the Rams/Vikings game. Good offense is more interesting with a good defense on the other side.

Sammy Watkins with an injury.... Shocking.
He has 58 YPG and a single TD. They way overpaid him. But it doesn't matter because Hill and Hunt are so good.

The Chiefs have crazy speed all over the offense. I am begging the Bills to get some explosive players next year.
-
They neutered Allen this week. After his hurdle I think they sat him down and said he can't use his legs that much. They need to let him play his style. I don't know why they took that away from him this week. The only QB draw came on a 2nd and long. Bad game for Daboll.
-
Chiefs offense is a lot of smoke and mirrors. But for now it is working.

But when Allen turtles and holds the ball and gets sacked, that’s on Allen.
It depends on the play. I don't know if he was missing open receivers or not. If there are no open receivers and he tries but fails to leave the pocket that isn't his fault. On some plays the sack is the right decision. If he's missing hot routes that's on him.

Darnold hasn't been anywhere near as bad as Allen was yesterday
I couldn't disagree more. He was terrible against the Browns. And I would take Enuwa and Anderson over anyone we have here. But that doesn't mean Darnold is a bust. Goff looked really terrible his rookie year. Look at him now. This year is a wash for the rookies. I just want to see Allen develop and hopefully play his best ball at the end of the season.
39 minutes ago, VW82 said:Edit: also, re your other comment...I didn't count any drops yesterday. Just a bunch of badly missed throws.
Really? Holmes and Jones both dropped well thrown balls in tight coverage. Holmes dropped a sure 1st down completion which Allen threw to the sideline on a rope. If you don't consider that a drop you aren't being fair.

If we had a competent, calming influence at backup QB (we don't) I think we would have seen him for the 2nd half.
Do you feel the same way about Darnold? Should McCown have taken over at halftime yesterday? Once the rookie is named the starter they remain the starter. If every rookie that had a bad half was pulled none of them would ever develop. This is typical overreaction to a single game.

What Bills fan is happy right now? The drunken ones?
Are Jets fans happy with Darnold so far? I think you would know better than anyone here.
2 hours ago, Wayne Arnold said:“His receivers can’t get separation! He has no one to throw to!”
Yep and when Allen hits similar tight window throws to Andre Holmes or Zay Jones or Kelvin Benjamin they can't hang on. His best throws this season have almost all been incompletions.

I would bring in Rishard Matthews even if it means Robiskie has to be fired. It wouldn't be a big loss anyways. But yeah they have to do something one way or another. There are some good 1st round WR prospects next year too.

We have a bunch of receivers and TEs that can't separate and can't win contested catches. We have an offensive line that can't run block. We have a rookie QB who was considered to be extremely raw. Daboll can only do so much with that.
-
WR. Pass protection could be better but it is really not that far below the league average. WR on the other hand is easily the worst group in the NFL. Slow, can't separate, can't catch, doesn't help Allen on blitzes. That is the biggest sore spot with this regime so far. I'm starting to think next year's 1st rounder should be a WR no matter what even if we're picking 1st overall.
-
Oh well. Season is still a wash. Just hoping Allen shows some progress after today. He seems to get confused by DB blitzes.
Ease up on Allen

This one play sums up where Josh Allen is right now:
He sees that Holmes is the right read. He has the arm strength to get it there - only a couple QBs in the league can make that throw without it being a pick six. But before he throws it he hesitates for maybe half a second. He isn't trusting what he sees yet. Remember that he comes from the Mountain West conference and he's only been playing football for a few years. The Bills are betting on the game slowing down for him after a year of experience. No guarantee that happens of course but that's the plan.
