If the first thing you post about being a problem is Josh Allen you are not really worth discussing football with. Especially when qb's are essentially all slotted at salaries. Each guy gets more than the last guy. Its how it is done. Im sorry but this place always blaming the qb is just kind of sorry.

How many teams score that much against the eagles and in philadelphia no less?

after last years events and his brother comments two weeks ago. I am kind of looking forward to a change at WR. Go draft a young guy and bring in a veteran. Those guys will not be in a situation to speak down to the qb because of their experience. Its different when the qb is the vet and the wr is the young guy. Older wr who make mistakes or start to slow down are always blaming everyone else. Young guys cant do that. We are two years away from it but it will be good for the qb.

Yep. Half the people here think the same way. Its pretty sad.

Could be the head coach. After all he is the guy responsible for Breaking Jerry Jones playoff drought in 2009. As the eagles DC his D got torched two weeks in a row to end the season costing them the division and then losing the wild card game. He just simply can not change what he can not overcome...at least not here. Hearing McDermott say Allen played well enough for the team to win the last weeks makes my head explode. I dont ever want to hear him speak or talk about this team again. I hope they just play it out and then decide to part ways in January. Lots of coaching changes coming around the league this offseason so it is better to get a head start. and my hot take is absolutely no one from the Andy Reid tree or the Bill Belichick Tree.

I loved the 8 games in a row with an int graphic today not mentioning that last weeks was a throw away hail mary that was picked. No one cares. Because of Diggs outburst during the bengals playoff game the national media decided Allen is a problem and that the bills window is closed. So each week they play to that narrative because most of the fans of the nfl are barely smart enough to spell their own name and they eat it up.

more to the point it seems every other team in this situation this much has someone on their defensive line that gets a sack/strip sack and fumble recovery that wins the game. Mcdermotts defense never does. QB's sit there and have all day to throw vs soft coverage...many times compounded by missed tackles. They just never get that late sack that wins the game. Its always the same thing.

thank you for admitting Davis screwed up the game winning play. also i am not taking the bait on your moving of the goal posts. I have to go pull an all nighter for work and have had enough of this tonight already.

That is not how the offense is run. There is an option there. The bills use routes with options. He is not going to hang in there and throw to the corner when the play is built to go inside when the pressure comes and the safety is beat. The corner route is to get away from the safety and beat a zone defense by creating an angle and space where the ball is thrown to the boundary so that only the wr has the play on the ball. In a typical zone defense the corner would be underneath and the safety breaking to the corner when its thrown. You know like how the broncos scored on the 4th and goal a few weeks ago This was not a zone defense. It was an all out calculated gamble they got beat on and Davis blew it. the options are about pressure and the location of the safety or vs a zone the location of sitting corner or dropping linebacker. its not just inside or outside. Its a number of things. Tonights play was made by Allen and he should have had a 5th td and a game winner.

the broncos just beat the bills late with the same situation. Bills brought pressure, the wr adjusted and ran the go route/9 route whatever and wilson threw it short only to have johnson run directly into him because he was beat immediately, had his back turned and commited the PI. the same thing would have happened here had davis gone inside...its either a simple catch for a game winner or a PI giving them first and goal. This is not some 50/50 thing. The eagles were beat on the play and Davis screwed it up.

OMG. Why do you think the options are built into the play? Its not about chemistry its about seeing the pressure and making the adjustment.

he was turned around and chasing. He was beat immediately. HIs best bet would have been a PI. The eagles gambled and won. They knew exactly what they were doing played the odds and won.

Its also false.

the corner had no leverage. He was beat with his back turned. His best bet would have been to run directly into davis had davis made the correct adjustment and get a PI. Davis blew it and then McDermotts defense blew it again.

The d back had his back turned. He was beat no matter where davis went, the play has a built in option if the safety vacates the area and there is pressure. it was obvious as it gets, the eagles brought pressure, Allen has no time to wait for a corner route, with pressure and the safety out of the middle and the corner with his back turned the ball goes inside. Every damn time. its no different than tight ends who run dig routes and the break goes to where they have leverage or an inside wr breaking off a route to a quick slant because of pressure leaving the middle of the field wide open. It was elementary stuff. That is why the damn option is built into those plays, for that exact situation. As soon as allen snapped the ball and he saw pressure, the safety moved and the corners back to him he did what he was supposed to do.

I cant get over that he didn't realize that there was all out pressure. It was as obvious as it gets. They didn't hide it, they showed it and brought it and it should have gotten them beat. Its simply incredible that he screwed up such a simple thing with all the time he has in the nfl. Inexcusable. it was a gimmie game winning TD and he didn't understand the situation.

blaming the qb...Amazing. You are one of the people who said you would trade places with Houston... Please do Turnovers matter so much that hurts had two today and won the game.

I hate Sean McDermott with every fiber of my being and I dont ever want to hear him speak or see him coach this team ever again. He has zero ability to get stops late in games. He loves to pass the buck. He should be fired when the plane lands. His defense has the same constant result for years.

The offensive line has been very good. If they continue to stay with running the ball Allen should be fine and have enough time to operate in the pocket. obviously blocking chris jones becomes the key element. yea it stinks that crosby is out but I still think this raiders team can hang in there for a little bit if they do not give the ball up early. I guess I am just being hopeful all these afc teams lose today.

Since its an nfc game and the eagles beat the dolphins I do not see it as a must win. I think the kc game is a must win though. The afc games on the schedule feel like must wins. KC is in danger of getting upset today if the raiders do not turn the ball over. I imagine the chiefs defense can beat the raiders alone but if las vegas is ever going to beat them today is the day.

If they are down two tight ends that is pretty big.

Who are you releasing to add an always hurt guy? The defense probably has enough hurt guys. Also if you do add him whose snaps is he taking and which package does he fit in?

Watching him rush to the tackles outside shoulder and the tackle then just walking him 3 yards behind the quarterback is depressing.

Saleh and Douglas should be fired 30 minutes after this game. I know it wont happen but they are a disaster. Spend all their resources on Defense and then they get these two games. Same thing in washington with rivera....Spend all your top picks on defense and then they cant play a lick of defense.

Dak has two hall of famers and another first rounder playing left guard. They struck gold with steele at RT...he is excellent in the running game and they spent a 4 on their center. This is why they dominate bad teams like the Giants, Rams, Panthers, Patriots, Jets and Commanders. They win up front on both sides of the ball. Dak has been playing games where it is like he is in a 7 on 7 drill. The games they played against people with equal talent in SF and Philly they lost, those were the games they leaned on Prescott.
