I made an honest effort to remain neutral. At this point I'd be all for it!

I think a Josh Allen called offense would make McDermott's head explode before halftime.

Honestly, I have zero knowledge or experience with that media landscape. I'm too adhd to listen to a podcast I can't respond to. But it's good to hear that other folks who are more knowledgeable and devoting the time are seeing the same stuff we are on gameday.

It's not 1993 anymore and offenses are infinitely more complicated than they used to be. QB's have more on their plates than they've ever had in their lives. I think asking them to be ready to have the right play ready 5 seconds after they've just processed the last play is just too much to ask in this era. Giving them an extra option coming to the line is about the most you should ask of them at this point, imo.

It probably all started on social media and spiraled out of control because too many of these kids have lost the ability (or opportunity) to handle conflict and adversity. And I bet that was the end of it and it never happened again. 👍

I don't know if feeling threatened is his primary motivation. I get the sense he's more an OCD micromanager that has to have things "just so" and makes his hiring decisions based partly on that.

I've seen some stuff hit the fan before games when everybody is jacked up, but I've never even heard of anything like this before. I know where that kid is taking his next snaps:

I'm in teh same boat and don't really know who is responsible for doing what, when. I'm just judging by how slow everything is on offense (which it shouldn't be because it's not remotely complicated) and how confused everything frequently is on defense. It has gotten somewhat better since McD started being more hands-on with the defense. I just think both coordinators are in way over their heads and have been promoted at least one level beyond where they belong. 🤷‍♂️

What the hell was in that pregame meal? https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/uab-football-players-stabbing-team-facility/

To me, it's less about how they're actually playing, than it is about preparation. On offense, plays are constantly getting in late, even more so than it's been an issue in the past. e.g. Thr night they got the ball back down by 4 and ran their first play with nearly 3 minutes left and only managed to get one more snap off before the 2:00 warning. If they were across midfield, then that's by design, but they were around their own 20. It's now Thanksgiving and Carolina is the only team they've outschemed since September. Procedure penalties are a bigger problem than I ever remember them being. On defense, we are seeing more examples of presnap confusion than we have in the last couple years combined. Even STs are a mess outside of Davis' recent flurry, with more penalty problems and coverage/return issues. This is the first time in the Allen era where I've regularly thought to myself that this is genuinely a poorly coached team.

I have zero interest in interacting with anybody who intentionally makes foolish nonsensical statements about things they don't understand because they think they can play gotcha with people who at least have some understanding. Have a nice weekend.

The safety had it read the whole way, Palmer recognized that and adjusted the route upfield because it was going to be broken up if he stays flat. Unfortunately Allen had to get rid of the ball before he wanted to because Edwards screwed up at the snap and chased a zone dawg across the LOS for no reason. If he just drops into passpro like he's supposed to, he easily picks up the twist that created the pressure that forced Allen to throw the ball before the read/route was complete. If Edwards just does his job instead of chasing ghosts, that's a TD to Palmer (that gets called back on the OPI).

It's rare to see an entire paragraph where virtually everything in it is 100% wrong.
