Elam needs to play more. I understand McD’s stance on working into the role, and giving the vet as many chances as he can. However, Elam is an outstanding athlete. I was shocked to see him running with Hill. He was on him all game, and was a huge part of his limited production. He didn’t take over the game, he wasn’t running wild. He made plays because he’s an outstanding player. But Elam held his own and then some.
Sorry Dane Jackson, but Elam’s for reeeeaaalllll

I’m so confused what has happened to these two teams.
The League MVP, against the Defending Champs! If I’m a producer for ESPN, I’ve got Goodell on speed dial with these Primetime games.
I’ll give you Stafford being out. But that defense?! And where’s the innovative offense from McVay? Where’s the commitment to play action and chipping away to open up the middle of the field? Where’s the dedication to pace!
Is it losing Adam’s; or the way they lost him? And the Green Bay defense? Again… what’s happening? Where’s the heart of this team? Who’s the step up and make something happen guy? It just seems like there’s an real problem with Rodgers and the team that no one has stepped up yet.
Someone said Donald may retire. I know a lot of people; pundits and fans alike, who will applaud him for going out on top. But to me, that’s the “star player” not the ideal FRANCHISE player. As a fan of the sport and the legends that I have been lucky to watch, I want a lifetime commitment to the team and the sport. Maybe I’m spoiled because all my favorite players live and die in my hometown. But guys like Donald, who are too big to go through a rebuild, their legacy gets tarnished in my book.

Oh boy.
Mark “Dr Hot Dog” Sanchez is a poor man’s Tony Romo. You would think that the Network run by the NFL would have done a better job of securing better names for their premiere games.

49ers and Chargers showed how to stop the Dolphins offense. But nope. Frasier sticks with nickel. Either he's stupid or stubborn.
Who do you put on the field then? Best 11 has always been the philosophy. You take Taron Johnson out and go with AJ Klein, and watch him get devoured by slot receivers and tight ends. Tyrell Dodson? Please. Whoever the scrub they drafted this year who should be cut? No thank you.
I’ve voiced my issues with Taron Johnson before, but he is FAR AND AWAY a better defender that AJ Klein, and is a perfect fit for this scheme.

The problem continues to be that MacKenzie is unreliable, and is a liability on the field. Slow motion replays only highlight his deficiencies at making pressure plays.

Sometimes this place is hilarious.
When they screw up clock management and Time Outs, this place gets the pitch forks and torches. When they do it right, it’s tar and feathers.
Singletary did the right thing. Maybe not for the dead beat gamblers, or the armchair Head Coaching staff, but it’s the smart play to win the game.

He was a last hope mercenary as it was, and never really a "Falcon" at heart. Not a great look, but also not too shocked considering the state of that team in general.
It's an obvious tanking move, and telling Mariota that he is playing too good and the team is winning too much. Heck, he has them 1 game out of 1st place in the Division, and theyre going to pull the plug NOW? I can see how that would offend him with all the work and effort he put in. Why bother sticking around if management wants to actively lose the last 4 games?
Again, not a great look, but I give players on tanking teams a lot of leeway. It has to be tough.
They’re PROFESSIONALS. Money is on the line everyday for them. Pride comes second. He’s got more than enough money, but when you take what he has done with this garbage team and tell him you’re going with the rookie, you can’t expect him to take that on the chin and pickup the clipboard.
Steve Wilks has it right when he criticized the Ownership of the Panthers. And someone should criticize Arthur Blank. The fact that they are in any position at all to challenge for that dumpster fire of a division, is a Miracle on Ice.
I don’t approve of the walking out without notice, but, as a human I can’t blame Marriotta.

For those interested, the book
“The Perfect Pass” by S.C. Gwynne is an amazing look at The Air Raid Offense. There is some talk about the coaching tree that Mike Leach comes from, and what an innovative mind he had, not only for football, but for life.
The football world has lost an innovator and a great mind.
REST IN PASSING, Coach Leach!

Man, the Patriots are bad.
Really bad.

We lit the Josh Allen prayer candle BEFORE the game started. And I wore my dark grey sweatpants.
You’re welcome.

Because he was cleared to return medically and their only chance to win.
This. They’re PROFESSIONALS. Money is on the line, feelings and niceties go out the door.

He called himself out in the 4th quarter, not sure
I saw that too. Then on the QB Power Sweep, he gave no effort. Then he was out two plays later I think. Very strange. It would make sense if he wasn’t healthy.
-
Did I miss in the pregame or Twitter about Diggs? Does he have the flu? There was ZERO energy out of him this game.

Get it done, OBD!!

First year at ECC North. Wild times…

I thought last year the word was that he wasn’t interested in being a Head Coach, again?
Maybe Im making that up.

Just now, Process said:
Justin Murray LT and Tommy Sweeney at TE. This is a thing in a real NFL offense.
At some point, injuries are no longer an excuse. The defense is playing outstanding tonight. Tre White, Poyer, Edmunds are all making big plays. Guys are starters for a reason… O line depth is going to be a rough obstacle to overcome this late in the season.

Gabe Davis again! What a regression this year. It’s crazy, he had so much potential, and he just can’t seem to get it all together.

Sure would be nice to see the defense healthy together later in the season.
I’m really interested to see what a CB duo of White and Elam looks like. What a difference Tre White makes. He’s a special player.

For anyone who doesn't think that was a special throw and catch, watch McDermott in the Locker Room, giving Allen and Diggs, game balls pretty much for that one play.
There isn't anyone playing in the NFL today, who would have made that throw. Without the velocity that Allen can put on the football, that simply doesn't get there in time. 45 to 50 yards, and it still hit Diggs hard.
I'm with Beast on this one, I think only Elway and Favre had enough juice to make it, out of the QBs I've been able to watch, and tbh, I think the only one of them who would have gone for it, was Favre.
Spot on. I think you’re right about Favre. A lot of guys have tried those throws, and they get picked, but Favre and Allen are cut from the same cloth. They’ll bet on themselves every time.Hearing Romo gush over Josh like that was sweet. As a “locker room guy”, you know he’s feeling a twinge of his QB pride knowing he could never have made that throw.
-
I’ll say it. That’s a stupid rule. A guy barely touches him, and he’s down by contact 3 yards downfield.
Dumb.

I think his elbow is bothering him more than he is letting on...basically like he is trying to conserve it to only use his arm when he needs to and is trying to finesse the other throws.
This.
Every throw is off, except for when he gives it his all, and then it’s magic again. One thing Romo DID do well today, was explain that and what it feels like for Josh.
Yes, I’m on a first name basis with Josh.
I love him.
That being said, the offensive line is HORRIBLE. Quessenberry got abused today. It was hard to watch. And Van Roten as well. Those two need to do all the dishes at home tonight.
Dorsey isn’t letting anyone get in a rhythm with the play design. I feel like that’s McD forcing his hand in the run game, and it’s not working.
And here we are back to Josh’s elbow.

I’ll be honest, this is getting harder and harder to watch every week.

I’ve been where you’re at. I was a spectacle myself. Still am. However, it’s worth it all.
I remember painting my sons nursery room the day they hired St Doug. I remember thinking that it felt different. Like something was going to come of it. And it did.
Through it all though, watching my son live through the glory years of Josh Allen, is so rewarding.
Todays loss is baffling, and it should make very fan angry. But don’t quit. Regardless of what these butt heads in this thread say, we need you. We need your family. We need the passion and the pain. Otherwise, it’s just us out here alone. And that’s like being a Texans fan. Yuck.

I know, it’s crazy to think that HOF players would stay committed to the city and organization that stood by them and made them legends and millionaires.
How dare I think such a thing is even possible, let alone expect it!
