    How was Josh able to finish the game with a concussion?

    Oh hmm I guess my bad then. I was told by medical people I know that many who get knocked out do not exhibit any signs of a concussion, and thus are not diagnosed with one.

    I’ve been knocked out numerous times in my youth as a boxer and was never concussed but that’s because I was usually taking shots to the chin. You hit the back/side of your head like that on the ground and you’re definitely getting concussed. Back of the head punches are illegal in boxing probably for that reason.

    Allen looks.. off this year.

    Physically he looks a little off. He isn’t getting away from the rush like he once did and he’s a bit slow to react. Could just be that he’s carrying extra weight or isn’t in peak shape. He’s definitely not as quick. He looks more like Big Ben this year. Could be injuries catching up. Reminds me of a boxer that’s come in a little overweight.

    Who is more at fault? Beane or McDermott?

    McDermott. I like the guy but ugh.

     

    Kincaid might have bobbled the ball – – – when he was out of bounds? No challenge?

     

    The other catch the 5 yard line was challenged worthy as well… Foot knee/foot knee/foot knee

     

    And the clock management at the end… What the heck?

     

     

     

    I’ve always liked Sean. But this followed by the legendary non-squib kick in Kansas City makes me question his coaching status.

    You could see the pellets come up after his knee hit. Looked inbounds to me.

    Are we figured out already? The issues as I see them

    We ARE figured out already.

     

    The thing with those Chan Gailey offenses was that they had two limitations:

     

    #1 A physically limited QB. I love Fitz as much as the next guy, but he didn't have the arm to hit the deep outs. That's a third of the field teams didn't care if he threw to because they were picks galore. This allowed them to squat on the short stuff

     

    #2 An overall untalented NFL roster. We were trotting out WR's like Donald Jones and David Nelson. Stevie was our only outside threat and our only other true weapons were on running backs. This meant that all teams had to do was make us one-dimensional, and the flaws would compound on themselves as David Nelson was never going to beat teams.

     

    Now today, we don't have a problem with #1. Josh not only can make all the throws, he can make throws most guys can't. But if you read point #2, it's like a mad-libs where you can exchange our current names and the past names.

     

    Lots of folks, myself included have said the true test of an OC is having a counter-punch when teams figure you out. Dorsey didn't, which is why his offense fell off a cliff after the first couple weeks. Daboll kinda did, but even he would get figured out a bit.

     

    At this juncture, it looks like Brady has been figured out. It is on him to adjust. But the problem is that both Daboll and Dorsey had the elite Josh-Diggs combo to fall back on when things weren't working. Brady has no such easy button. Chan didn't either and had the worse QB.

     

    I have some hope that Brady will be able to figure something out, but he clearly didn't from last week to this week outside of the "pass to Mack Hollins more" plan which predictably was a disaster.

     

    There's honestly just not much you can expect an OC to do with this roster.

     

    We also lost a RB (Jackson) who was on pace to break the rushing record in a single season.

    Do we trust McBeane in next years draft.

    Yea people look at how many hits/busts he has without context.  You’ve gotta look at the other perennially good teams that are drafting in the late first year in and year out 

     

    the chiefs whiff all the time and they are a well run franchise.  Late first there really are no sure things 

    Beane’s post-draft FA signings have to be the worst in the league. 

    Worst (regular season) coached game in the entire McD era

    How can we not have an answer for this? It’s going to keep happening, If Brady doesn’t have an answer, Allen will get hurt next week.

    Yeah, I think teams are just blitzing us constantly now. Josh can’t roll out to his right and step into a throw. He’s running for his life backwards diagonally to the right and throwing off his back foot, or just getting smashed.

    It's still coaching

    Having a defense that totally collapses against good teams every year is pretty absurd after using most of the team’s draft picks on that side of the ball. The game has pretty much passed McD by similar to Rex Ryan. We’re a few weeks away from begging players to come out of retirement to play on sundays. How could you not have safeties and lb’s on your roster after multiple defensive heavy drafts?
