So are our coaches just dumb or is Samuel hurt and/or incapable of running downfield routes right now? I honestly don’t know, because I don’t have faith that Brady knows what he’s doing and I also have seen nothing from Samuel to make me think he can do anything. Hollins & MVS as WR5/WR6 are fine, but to have them higher up that pecking order, along with seemingly blowing 8M per year on a gadget guy that we can’t do anything with is not acceptable roster management .. even in a cap strapped year.

Chiefs are just as meh as everyone else in the conference. It’s time for them to take a loss. Absolutely ridiculous that team is undefeated.

They weren’t getting a first down running. Maybe Allen could get it on a designed run, but the traditional run game had been shut down because they weren’t worried about our downfield threats at all. That doesn’t mean Allen should be chucking it down field when we just need a first down to get to OT. Let’s say he even connects with Hollins.. what’s happening? We run up to our own 30 or 40 and spike the ball with 10-15 seconds left, at best. Then what?

Allen looks like he’s actively losing trust in everything around him in real time. That alone should force Beane’s hand in trading for help asap. We can start by not putting him in 2nd and long constantly. But Allen is letting a bad WR room bring him down, rather than him lifting them up. And some may want to point to KC/Mahomes, but they have a guy he trusts implicitly in Kelce, a coach he trusts implicitly in Reid and a Defense that wins ugly games against good QB’s.

Both were bad throws. The Kincaid one obviously had no chance given the under throw. However, the Hollins one should have been caught by any competent downfield receiver. QB’s shouldn’t need to make perfect throws down the field to have passes be caught. Coleman dropped a perfect deep throw last week. Hollins couldn’t track a deep throw that gave him a chance yesterday.

Can’t have too many men on the field to lose a game late if you don’t have enough men on the field. 4D Chess

Can we at least try passing on early downs? I honestly can’t handle the predictable early runs. And it’s going to get Allen hurt, given he faces constant 2nd and longs with no quick separators.

THIS McDermott catches heat for the end of game nonsense.. and that comes with the territory. However, Allen not hitting guys on the rare times they beat their man for big plays and Brady having slave like devotion to first down runs and zero creativity in the passing game are the culprits behind this loss. It’s a lot to put on Allen, given the trash he has to work with, but he’s recognized as being on the Mahomes tier of talent .. you can’t constantly miss guys deep. It’s all the time with this flaw.

Worst part is Brady just had to figure it out or we’ll struggle. McDermott can’t fire another OC in-season. Thats not a card you can play year after year.

First time watched Darnold this year, so maybe it was just a bad game, but he was horrible. Jets Offense lost that game.

Hard to be a pocket passer when nobody gets open and the OC has a religious devotion to first down runs.

If we can get healthier on defense (we will) and figure things out on offense (unsure) then yea.. we’re fine. Problem is, the Jets are 100% going to go single high closed and dare us to beat Sauce and Reed with Coleman, Hollins and MVS. Do we think we have a counter punch? Because I haven’t seen it. Getting Shakir back would help.. doesn’t solve this problem though. Brady can stop with the first down predictable runs. That might help a bit. Our biggest issue right now seems to be the offensive fix is not currently in this locker room.

Allen is going to get beat up when Brady constantly puts him in 2nd and long due to his predictable run obsession. His biggest hit today came because we put him in an “and long” situation. Came last week on a dumb Brady trick play. Came Week 1 because he felt like he needed to do everything. Brady and Beane, aside from investing in OL, are actively putting him in harms way right now without any first down pass plays and/or quick separators forcing him to hold the ball longer.

I honestly think Beane is a good drafter. We have had two critical issues in the postseason, outside coaching.. Big time injuries on the defense and a fundamental lack of investment at WR. The defense will, potentially, get everyone back at some point this season. The offense can salvaged by adding a legitimate WR to this room via trade. It would be great to have that 2 from the Diggs trade, but you can’t just throw away a season for a draft pick.

Josh isn’t overrated, but his deep ball is atrocious and it’s a problem he needs to correct or it will always hold us back. Hit Kincaid early for a TD and this might be an entirely different game .. both from the score standpoint and the threat downfield.

Brady won’t throw on first down with Allen and we think he’s gonna let Trubisky throw there? That said.. I completely agree with you.

Last year “pass catchers” This year “everyone eats” New year, different slogan to cover up not having enough at the WR position.

We can clown McDermott for his end game decision making, but honestly anything around 65, I think Fairbairn is making there. Hes that good and game winning adrenaline seems to be a thing for some kickers. This game was lost when our Offense wasted a down (that likely would be wasted anyway) with a Cook giveaway run before Allen came in. Followed by two plays of no separation and no plan. Back shoulder to Cook? I mean, what are we doing.. Go up 4 and it’s game over. Without Nico Collins, our defense had Stroud in a chokehold. Game was lost after that possession, once the Texans flipped the field with an elite kicker. We needed a 3 and out from the defense and are asking so much from an injured unit in a game where they dominated in the second half and gave our Offense every chance to win, even win comfortably.

McDermott has the hottest seat nationally for a coach who’s safe internally. Analysts and pundits calling for his head all over social media right now. On the outside looking in, it’s believed he is the biggest reason we are stuck playing second fiddle to the Chiefs and are constantly being dealt mind-numbing end game losses.

We’re pretty much reeling as well. Going to be two desperate teams.

First place on the line for the division next week. Jets aren’t all that good, but can you tell us how we’re going to score more than 20 points, if needed, against that Defense?

Maybe McDermott is safe internally, but it’s going to heat up nationally big time if they don’t course correct soon.

In the second half, without Nico Collins, our Defense had the Texans in a chokehold. Gave our Offense the ball at the 12, down 3, mid-4th quarter. And our Offense responded with 20 points all game. Second week in a row where I can’t even stand to look at Brady’s face.

Valid points, but it’s hard to see the bright side over the course of a long season when they are so limited at WR and the OC seems very much over his head. That can obviously change by simply not calling first down runs every time and trading for a WR, but neither are givens.

If they can’t figure out how to use Kincaid, move him for a piece that they will use. I know they won’t, but he’s literally just Dawson Knox out there. We already have a Dawson Knox.
