Pay Per View Super Bowl?

What is your evidence that we learned?

Nor does being under .500 in games decided by 7 points or multiple year defensive implosions. If you want to believe the past events happened in a vacuum and are not symptoms of a bigger problem, that's up to you. I would bet everything I have that isn't the case.

How many of these extensions of our home grown players have worked out beside Josh?

Allen didn't exactly make him eat it

We are 1-4 in the divisional round or later. We are below .500 in games decided by 7 points or less. So with less talent than all those previous teams, you expect us to figure it out and sneak by those Chiefs (who only stopped themselves one time last year, by fumbling). Then, after we do that, somehow parlay that win into a multi win run stretch to the promise land. All if we land a mid 30 year old WR who our OC has never shown an ability to game plan for. Sure, we are just Davante Adams away. How about we aim for that first W against a winning team or maybe something outside the worst passing game in the last 20 years.

Based on what? We had much better performing defenses under McD prior with horrific postseason results and Brady has never shown he can utilize a #1 WR at the NFL level. He had one last year. You saw what happened. This team is always competitive, but it is not one WR away from the best iteration it has had and it will not get over the hump until it is.

We aren't a Super Bowl team with him and at that point you have to then ask, is this the guys we want as our coveted #1 WR or do we wait until the offseason when a lot more possibilities are available?

Totally good with him playing hero ball

Huge call for the bookies

They both look incredible. Thanks!

Crazy what he can do year 1 and then he just falls apart. Likely can't hold players accountable.

I was very critical of the process with Brady especially. He has never had success at the NFL level so how we didn’t even interview is completely beyond me

McD values controllable coordinators. He does not value innovation. Innovation would threaten his control. I know people crap on the Dunne article but the dude IS a control freak. Which many coaches are, but a difference exists between being a detail oriented control freak and scared/defensive control freak. Sean is both.

He’s younger than Tremaine Edward’s in football years

Always enjoyable.

Throws Bass and Knox in

I thought he suffered some type of head trauma. Just looking at the way his body reacted. His hand sort of locked. It wasn’t a natural movement. Onviously we can debate all day if he was concussed or not. The whole, “but he passed protocol” is sort of a joke. How many times does a player who is clearly trying to get in the game not cleared to return? Everybody wanted to see him return. You did, I did, McD did, and the Bills did. Josh has some ownership of his body right? If he wanted to play he was going to convince you it wasn’t a head injury. What are you supposed to do at that point?

What would you expect to get for a LB who is injured and has barely played the last year?

That looks like how I would do it, but I don't keep these things in the house because I will eat anything without control that is in my house.

Is he?

Do you have the rates of coverage vs us and everybody else? It seems like a lot of video was out this week on teams not playing Cover 2 vs us because we can't threaten over the top.

Nearly every angle backs up his effectiveness in play action. I also don't recall a lot of our pressures coming from play action or even Josh under center. They have been occurring more frequently with him in shotgun. Perhaps some merit to his injury but look at the data from last year. Same thing. Way more halfback run plays, way lower PA% vs the 25%+ we have had the three years prior. If anything a solid PA game would slow down the rush. I think the issue is much more likely Brady than what a lot of the responses are indicating. What other variable would explain a massive shift in the data starting last year? The pressure, the injury, everything being posed here didn't overlap 2023. The only thing that did was a change in OC's.

Even when you watch his Wyoming tape Josh has been a stone cold killer in playaction (2 minutes and 17 seconds in). In his career Allen has a +25 QBR in play action vs regular passing situations 113.9 vs 87. You can see why Josh is so good with playaction with his timing. It's almost like playaction gives Allen a more traditional pocket cadence. Right when he hits the top of his drop he either rips the ball out or you see him moving forward in the pocket still in the rhythm of the play. It's always very decisive. So it's a pretty exciting concept that we have developed this run game under Brady which should allow for a lot more of what Allen does best. I wish this was the case......... If you look at the chart below in the PA% column it shows the % of totals passes that were playaction. In the Pass% column to shows the number of Allen passing attempts divided by total plays minus Allen rushing Attempts. I looked at it this way because we know most of Allen rushing attempts actually come from passing attempts. I only wanted to see how often a RB was getting the ball vs Allen throwing. In theory the less we throw and the more we run with HB's, the more impactful PA should be, the higher the PA% should be. We are running substantially more with traditional run plays in 2024 off a 2023 career low for Josh but throwing nearly half the amount of playaction passes as a % of total pass attempts, also a career low. It's like taking away John Daily's driver. Just next level dumb. What the hell is Brady doing right now?
