Time of possession is now pretty much 32 to 15. Crazy

This is just the perfect recipe for a home defeat. 1. Can't keep the offense on the field, losing time of possession big time. We knew we needed to get more going in the air, but it has come at the complete expense of our run game, by which we control the clock normally 2. Turnovers all over the place 3. Get utterly manhandled in the run game

If we can have a little more than 9mins 50 possession in the second half we might have a chance. Mad game so far. Our weaknesses ads there for all to see

Need points on both sides of HT here. Got very lucky on 3rd down there. White was nowwhere near stopping that pass. Bad throw saved us

Surely he should be given extra time to get to meetings given his 4.6 speed?

This is the bit of the season where the team is very up and down, confusing the hell out of us by being great sometimes and dreadful the others. We're almost at the crisis point where it feels like the season is over and we're not even going to make the playoffs. But don't worry, the bit where our backs are against the wall and we churn out the necessary wins to hit the playoffs on a high is not far around the corner. But then another key injury or two will occur along the way...let's say....Bosa and Shakir....and we will ultimately lose to the Chiefs or Ravens in the playoffs. Those who like McBeane will point to another playoffs made and the "bad luck" with injuries. Those who want McBeane gone will point to another season of Josh's prime wasted by forcing him to work miracles with a sub-par team around him. Then we'll watch all the best free agents land elsewhere while we give hefty extensions to our own mediocre guys. Aaaand then we'll draft players who fit the current scheme/culture but which don't address the actual needs we have to push us over the top. And we'll see the same thing happen again next season, only Josh will be another year older. I think it's time to press the button and make the change at the top - or else we're forever going to be left wondering "what if", and Josh will either be a HoF guy with no rings, or he'll win one somewhere else.

This is the day we lose the division.

Tend to agree. Desire to trade him right now would likely indicate he's not a good fit culture-wise - which we'd probably need to see as a huge red flag. Personally think Olave/Shaheed the most likely - but I'm guessing

Some interesting numbers above. Under Brady we've never ranked higher than 16th for passing attempts or 8th for passing yards. With Josh Allen. As people have pointed out - it's a passing league. Of course we want to establish the run - and we want to use Josh's legs too etc - but we've got a generational QB and he's playing very much with the brakes on when it comes to throwing the ball.

Our best chance to win it was while he was still on his rookie deal and we could afford some good weapons around him. Is the issue now that we can't have our cake and eat it? Having this elite qb means we have to pay him elite money and we simply can't afford to surround him with elite offensive weapons unless we draft them well. And we seem to either keep picking the wrong guy (Coleman) or drafting defensive players. I'm not convinced this front office and coach is at an elite enough level to build a roster around a qb on top money. 13 seconds was the one....

Prater's gonna Prate

Got that annual sinking feeling

Just a reminder. The ravens are really good. doesn’t mean that we aren’t. don’t despair (yet)

It’s not the chiefs you need to fear. It’s the chiefs plus the refs

Some good defence here. Getting to Mahomes almost every play. Keep it up!
