Good post.
Once again this season they gave themselves the tiniest margin for error on offense. Almost no playmakers and Allen has to do everything. He lateraled successfully to Shakir on Sunday in a high-risk play; he almost fumbled the game away trying to do it again later (can you imagine the narratives about Allen if the Patriots recovered and scored?). Beane is a decent GM but his mismanagement of the offense borders on a war crime.
