I'll back mine up. Brown makes a ton of tackles but he makes them after the runner has made 5 yards if not more. And he's a liability in pass coverage. So he doesn't help us.

What has Brown done to say he's better than the backups we have. You have your opinion, I have mine. Quit pretending yours is the be all and end all.

Well, no he's not actually.

And here we go. Any guy cut by another team must be an upgrade to a 6-3 team. Makes a ton of sense.

Allen is going to be the QB for years to come IMHO. His big thing now is reading defenses. That comes with time, and yes the time for him to develop that skill is growing shorter. Adding more pieces around him will also help. O line could still use a player or two. Obviously a really good WR. Ultimately for young QBs it’s about getting the game to slow down so you make good decisions. It’s slowing some for Josh but needs to slow down more.

Spain? Nseke? It is disturbing that the HC wanted X and got Y.

Of course.

We agree here. Let the kid play. And if you have a HC saying the plan is no time out and his OC saying they called one, then McD and Daboll better sit down and work that stuff out.

True. That’s why I said if you hit one it means a lot.

It’s nice that so many people are blowing off steam today. That’s all it is though, because everyone knows Allen is the QB the rest of this year and next year. His biggest problem area is recognizing defenses pre-snap and going to the right guy. Young QBs havevto figure that out. He needs to speed up that learning process. Long balls don’t concern me that much, although it is strange he isn’t hitting some. I saw a stat a couple years ago that throws over 30 yards in the air make up maybe 5% of total throws. You hit one it means a lot but you don’t base an offense on that.

I think you need to watch some other QB's play. This happens more than you think. Being precise (not really accurate) ain't as easy as it's cracked up to be. It's why guys like Brady are guys like Brady. Emotional reactions the day after a loss. Always fun to observe. Which is not to say Josh doesn't need to step some things up, pre-snap reads the most important from where I see things. But that takes time to master, and time is growing shorter.

I thought we'd either kill the Browns (because they were imploding) or they would kill us (because they were desperate).

They win the next three. Dallas is starting to come apart.

There is no QB in the world that has no accuracy issues, and the ones you intimate Allen has are overblown. Allen needs to continue to progress in reading defenses and knowing what his best choices are pre-snap.

Realize the guy you're responding to would have traded an entire draft for Jameis Winston. That should give you some insight into his ability to rate Qb play.

Several

Yes. Which is why I said it's an area he has to improve upon.

Question: who calls the blocking schemes? Someone should have seen the overload and blitz?

Coming into this season we all wanted Josh to improve his completion percentage, which he has. We wanted him to improve going through his progressions. I think if you watch objectively he has. But what he still needs to work on is his pre-snap reads. I think that throw was a pre-snap read, and his read was that he had Brown one on one. The read probably should have been Beasley, assuming he read the blitz coming from the left side. Reading NFL defenses isn't easy, but Josh has to improve there.

Imagine that. You think the Bills will lose. Shocking.

They have the room.

True. Can’t be too critical if the D after that goal line stand. But they make the stop we win.

For Star, it’s because his job is to tie up blockers. He made a good read on a screen and broke it up. Levi had a tough matchup and they may need to look at Kevin J soon. Smith they can cut. Your veterans can’t be the ones making bad penalties every week

I’ll go back tomorrow and look at each throw. It won’t be two but it won’t be nearly as many as you think. That’s what young QBs need to learn.

Give the keys to the kid and let him drive the car. Audibles, no huddle. Singletary in the field. He’s good in the fourth, play the entire game that way.
