Maine-iac

Everybody lauding Singletary. He is a great runner and reciever but I definately saw him miss some blocks in pass protection and that is probably why Gore was in there. As far as the formula for winning, the victory was there for the taking, we just didn't finish.

A WR threw a TD to the QB ............... I think they played as out there as you can expect from the group we have.

First off it is true that Allen is young but he has almost 30 starts and two seasons of NFL experience. The mistakes he's making aren't even rookie mistakes. They are just bad football plays. He has undeniable talent and has had us in position to win every single game this year including this one. Daboll is much the same. I'm not sure how many awful plays he called because frankly the execution of some of the plays is so bad I can't blame Daboll for the outcome but being the coach I'll still give him some of the blame. Regardless just like Allen, and his flaws, Daboll called enough good plays to win this game. Points were left on the field and turnovers helped the other team and only a sliver of that is on Daboll.

If you watch some of Singletary's blocking you will see why Gore was in the game from time to time. I didn't watch every down but there were at least two twists the Texans ran and Singletary missed his guy. Although if he's running it more I suppose pass blocking is a non issue.

Maybe it's putting too much on the defense but that's seemingly the build right now. Defense keeps the score nice and low and Allen pulls it out. The defense didn't get the stops on plays where they seemingly had stops and Allen and the offense "made plays" to get into scoring position but then took sacks and penalties that took them out. They just didn't finish.

Allen showed he can learn after the first Pats game. He will get better from this, it's just a shame he had to have so much to learn from in this one game.

Forget the running this guy or that guy or pass this or screen that ........... if we could just stop with the huge negative plays in scoring position we'd probably score another 3 or 4 points per game and I'm not even sure I'm exaggerating.

No I agree the defense had a hand in this loss. I mean really Hauschka might be the only one who shouldn't be hanging his head after this one.

I don't have a problem with the scheme or even the play calling. The execution is horrid. If you want to blame Daboll for that I can see that a little but there are plays where you just know either Allen or the OL were beat before they even snapped the ball. If it's true that Daboll isn't coaching that then OK but for me it's not the play calling.

Some are blaming Daboll (and it might be him), some are blaming the OL ( and certainly at times it looks like them), and some are blaming Allen but one thing is for certain people are shooting into the backfield completely unblocked altogether too aften. When he sees a rush coming on a drop back he's ok. He has a bit of a fumble problem with guys washing around from behind him but when people come in unblocked he just loses his mind.

I thought it was going to look like the 40 yard run to start the game. Everything was there ................ then the blockers completely whiffed and Allen got pounded.

Is that Daboll? I mean some of those Allen was standing there looking at the guys across from him. Snaps the ball and the line let's someone through unblocked. I have to think it's either Josh or the OL that aren't getting the assignments right rather than the playcall. Given what we've seen even on running plays where 3 guys can't block one guy and get Josh down the field I'm not sure I'd start the blame with Daboll.

I'll be honest I was afraid of taking a lead early. Most games we hung around and grinded and then crept away in the second half. I'm not sure this team knew how to play with a decent lead so early in a game. Again with that said we had numerous chances throughout the 4th quarter and overtime to win this game.

Basically we picked a hell of a time to get "Billsy". I hadn't seen it all season. Even the first Pats game it was really just Allen losing his mind. Today the whole team took turns gift wrapping the game for the Texans. edit: I'll let Hauschka off the hook. He was trying to be a hero we just decided to go backwards close to 40 yards in two plays and take it out of his hands.

So many plays that someone unblocked hit Allen. I don't know if he isn't recognizing things or his line has no clue what they're doing. Probably both. Then in multiple games I've seen blockers (multiple) whiff on crucial running plays. Allen should have gone for 20 late in the game on the sweep right.

I'm sorry I still can't blame the D. They made a few bad plays but Allen made some plays that are utterly inexcusable. I love the kid but he loses his mind sometimes.

Like Jordan and the Cavs .................... we just got posterized.

All these mistakes and all they have to do is just make a stop and kick a field goal.

Epic failure after epic failure. Really so many inexcusable mistakes we can't blame anyone but ourselves if we lose.

WTF ......................3rd and 18?????

We've gift wrapped this game for the Texans 3 times. Only thing saving us is the defense. Save us one more time.

How do you miss an uncovered guy 1 yard off the line of scrimmage?

Our OL leaves a lot on the field.

Lead blocker missed everyone. Allen looked like he had 20 yards.

Allen IS the Cardiac Kid.
