I'm embarrassed ...our offence much maligned for the whole season they weren't perfect but they elevated their play ..we were up 16-0 the performance of the defence was inexcusable the tackling and lack of execution the 3rd and 18 goes down historically as one of the worst defensive Downs in bills history . I'm just disgusted especially for a team built around a stout defence .

Hate the run call there we gotta go for the kill hopefully it doesn't cost us we should be up 17

The only conservative great coach I can think of would be from soccer Jose Mourinho ..I agree with your premise though ..Sean needs to add aggressiveness to his repertoire Everytime we get ahead we basically go into clock wasting mode up 17-13 the gameplan needed more aggressiveness not conservative clock management .

Finally aggressive call and great throw !

Every team that has beat the pats in the past few years has beat them by having an aggressive mindset we come in with this super conservative gameplan on offence and defence.

Horrendous ball placement there...inside lucky it wasn't undercut by the DB

Yup and the fact he's still growing in terms of processing what he is seeing he often times pulls the trigger a hair too late instead of making a anticipatory throw which he gets away with at times due to sheer velocity on his throws . It's all just a learning process I'm encouraged with what I've seen from Josh this season just needs more reps and experience .

It's inconsistent mechanics he just needs to continue to get reps...at Wyoming his base was completely wrong when throwing and his footwork was consistently incorrect ...he worked with Jordan Palmer and ofc the bills coaches to mitigate some of it but he's still thinking about it and making small errors like having his feet pointed the wrong direction towards his intended Target and having his feet spread too far apart or too little on his dropback and sometimes using all arm instead of his entire base like on some of the deep balls he's missed.

Horrendous sequence of play calls...as mediocre as Allen has looked tonight the playcalling has been just as abysmal

That plus he's way off...Josh natural motion is from that angle he doesn't throw over the top

This and your op is spot on..that's the one refinement missing from his game right now ..elway was very similar as a young qb he would throw every pass like a missile he learned with experience how to change speeds and vary velocity..Josh just needs reps to continue to refine his mechanics..and that comes with experience...he tends to get jacked up during home games as well I've noticed on the road his feet seem more calm. Not every qb comes out as polished as Andrew luck ..it took Brees nearly 4 years to put everything together in SD

This game was lost in the trenches first and foremost the pass protection was awful today but they weren't helped by the lack of execution against the blitz

Why do you think he's missing too far it's not a difficult concept ..it's simple physics a ball thrown with lower trajectory is going to reach it's target faster which impedes a receiver from running under the pass...it's the same concept with a punt a higher trajectory allows the coverage team time to reach versus a lower one which is much more returnable ...you're clearly not capable of the requisite maturity to have a discussion you think it makes you tough to call strangers names online o truly hope youre like 16 or something because if you're a grown man communicating like this good luck (y)

No one is " bitching" grow up ..it's fair to evaluate certain things ..you should perhaps evaluate your comprehension of throwing mechanics .

It's not about " lofting " certain passes require certain trajectory irrespective of the conditions if you throw a pass with too much velocity and not enough elevation that's the result . the throw he missed to Foster he's made before including in his rookie year

Josh not putting the required arc on his passes again so far .

No because reliability is crucial ...why pay him the money he will command when we've gotten more production outta smoke who's available..Watkins has all the talent in the world but can't stay on the field and continues to be inconsistent the guy has 150 yard two td monster potential as we saw here but he also has 2 catch 30 yard potential

The gameplan has to start with dictating the pace ..the Ravens like to score fast with deep seam passes to their tight end out of their 21 personnel sets or go deep to Hollywood . we need to stay on the field converting on 3rd down will be crucial. We need to stop the run first and foremost it doesn't appear that any team has really boxed Lamar in yet ..we have two excellent safeties that should be able to limit their verticality ..we need to make Lamar have to stand in the pocket and keep him away from those easy dump off completions and wide open seam shots ...the media is salivating over him but their passing game really isn't very complex it's just excellent disguise and scheming . On offence Josh needs to continue his excellent trajectory and take what's there and not force things and give them short fields

Lamar is spectacular as an overall talent there's no debating that..but the NFL is cyclical..it remains to be seen what he will look like a year from now. All it takes is one defensive coordinator to formulate the game plan to neutralize him and the floodgates open . The Ravens passing game is great but questions remain ...they don't really attack all areas of the field ..the majority of their production comes from Seam passes and slants and high low reads over the middle of the field .

Yep ..McDermott runs a cover 3 zone based 4-3 ...that's the scheme ..his scheme is moreso predicated upon getting pressure via the front 4 through stunts and games ..they do blitz though double a gap blitzes and safety blitzes at times ..

Like I said in another thread ...daboll is the wrong oc for this personnel..McDermott saw firsthand in Carolina how they were able to maximize cam Newton despite his limitations as a passer yet here he is as a hc trying to turn Josh Allen into tom Brady when he's more like cam Newton in playstyle

Precisely

Bottom line daboll needs to go ...he has never been in charge of an even middle of the pack offense...greenbay has Aaron fricking Rodgers behind center ..yet Carolinas weakness is against the run just like the browns ...they have run rhe ball 21 times so far and the games not finished Rodgers has attempted 20 passes if daboll had called a balanced gameplan today fine I could live with that ..but to rush only what less than 15 times ? All game..this is an issue I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt when hired..I rationalized that he had been given very poor starting QBs in Anderson or Brian hoyer ? I think etc and yet here we are again two years around ranked bottom of the league in offence .

The offence has been a concern all year we just won on oppurtunistic plays..and now that the defence has regressed somewhat to the mean we are losing games...every game this year has been super tight..the fact is we've played some very questionable defensive units and failed to exploit . When you look at how the Ravens score 49 on the Bengals and we had to scrape together two tds by the offence it's not suprising we have lost 2 of the last 3
