  1. I was pleased with the simplicity of the play calls and the fact that it seemed like there were actual plays, not just rules keyed off of what the defense was doing.  The offense as a whole was doing too much thinking on the fly under Dorsey, and for whatever reason (probably a variety of reasons) it wasn't working.  Yesterday it seemed like actual plays were being called to target specific situations.

     

    They still have a lot of work to do with their redzone offense, where everything is compressed and execution needs to be tighter.  And none of the playcalls would've mattered if the offensive line wasn't winning at the LOS yesterday which for the most part they were - it was an impressive show of strength against a great front seven.

    food for thought that I hadn't considered before today

     

    in a battle of wills that would eventually decide who stays and who goes, could Allen potentially lose out to McDermott?


    Zero percent chance of that.  Opening a new stadium and you’re gonna sell fans McD instead of JA17?

    Yea I give him credit for working his way up, for making himself into the QB he was in 2020- half 2022. Lazy bums don't do that. He is certainly has some share of blame to take. Absolutely not denying that and he needs to again work his way back up. 

     

    As for Dorsey, haven't you ever known a girl/guy for a while, start dating him/her and then realize he/she is actually a controlling psycho (female canine)?

     

     


    It’s not binary either lazy or not.  It’s a question of complacency.  Allen took his foot off the gas this season - it happens.  Lots of folks have quite quit during the past couple of years.  It’s understandable but not excusable.

    I really wonder if Allen started getting disillusioned with Dorsey last year and gradually became de-motivated. I really don't think a person who showed himself to be so driven to succeed 2019- mid 2022 suddenly became lazy and complacent. I said in a different thread that my speculation is that much of Allen's decline could have come from a poor relationship with Dorsey the OC. 

    I am happy to see his protection has improved and with Kincaid and Shakir coming along, his receiving options have improved from last year. 

    This will not turn around over night. Mental issues take time to sort out. I will rabidly root for the rest of this season but I am mentally prepared to this being a lost season with missed playoffs. When in itself is a travesty for an Allen led team


    You are giving Allen wayyyy too much credit.

     

    When the Cardinals were putting a study clause into Murray’s contract nobody was defending him as being “disillusioned with his playcaller.”  And Allen picked Dorsey in the first place.  It was supposed to be Allen’s guy coordinating Allen’s offense.

     

    Allen 100% has become complacent.  It’s been obvious all season that he’s not putting in the work.

     

    Allen is making tens of millions of dollars.  He’s single.  He loves to party (have seen enough smoke here).  He doesn’t love film study and believes his athletic ability will let him figure things out after the snap.  


    I can understand it all and I love the guy but let’s not make excuses for him.  He just got his OC fired.  Time for him to take life a little more seriously if he truly wants to be great.  Allen’s entire approach this season has been “f— around and find out” and he just found out.  These are peoples’ livelihoods at stake.

    Do you watch the rest of the NFL?    How many QB's don't get pressured in the pocket?   None.  The excuse that Allen's mechanics are poor because he doesn't trust the protection is at best a ridiculous excuse.    His pass pro is at worst league average this season.

     

    Yeah, that's not it.  His mechanics are poor IMO because he's reading the field late, post-snap, then hurrying up his throws once he finally "sees it."  That's also causing drops, because he's firing it in there so hard to make up for the processing delay.

    We didn’t really blitz a ton in the game. It was a lot of 4 man rushes with poor lane integrity. However the way I see it you had two options. Pressure and hope to get home again or rush four and sit back and play coverage. They were out of field goal range so they had to run some type of drop back concept and they did, 3 verts. Taron got beat at the collision point playing catch man and Russ under threw the crap out of the ball because of the pressure. It happens, but that doesn’t make it a bad call.

    Couldn’t tell you, but I do know that usually when you don’t give a quarterback a lot of time to make a decision good things usually happen. This time it didn’t. That’s football.


    Don’t have a huge issue with the call but generally speaking the blitz yesterday wasn’t working.  They weren’t getting home and weren’t covering tight behind it.  In hindsight it likely wouldn’t have mattered bc they weren’t rushing to the proper depth in their non-blitz situations anyhow.

    Other than the result you still haven’t explained why it was a bad call. If you’re going to make such a bold statement then back it up! How was McDermott outsmarted?


    Blitz really hadn’t been working the whole game.  And even when they weren’t blitzing they were rushing too deep and Russ was resetting or scrambling.  The pressure concepts were not well schemed or executed last night.

    Maybe.  Allen will now have to apply himself to learning a slightly new offense, and will have to think about the consequences for his offseason nonsense and lack of mid-week investment.  The entire Allen/Dorsey era seemed to be “f— around and find out” and now they’ve just found out.

    I agree with basically everything. But I take a little issue with this.

     

    I switched to the Manning cast at half time and Eli said this (paraphrasing) after an ill advised deep throw "They are giving him everything underneath. Take the yards and march down the field. Does he know he is allowed to have a 10 play drive". We heard Brady say the same thing just a few weeks ago. 


    Fire Dorsey. Whatever. At this point we have to, we are lost. But teams are playing us in 2 high shells and our QB is just ignoring it. Hire somebody that he will listen to. Bring in Palmer as our QB coach. Bring his HS coach on board. Hire both Manning's and Brady to QB coach Josh by committee. I don't care. But at some point the guy has to listen. In the last 2 weeks 3 HoF QB's have publicly said this is a problem. 


    He is immature and it may take having his friend Dorsey fired to get him to take life more seriously.

    Dorsey didn't call a terrible offense last night. The players dropping easy catches and allowing 4 turnovers killed it though.

     

    McDermott on the other hand still refuses to hold himself accountable for the overall performance of the team, clock management and decision making. Or you know the things we otherwise refer to as "his ***** job".


    He seems to be one of the most unaccountable executives in the entire country.

    1) we went away from the run when McDermott took away a primary piece of Dorseys gameplan. Especially the scripted plays. The Broncos run defense was their weakness. McDermott hobbled the offense pulling out Cook. Maybe it made him hungry to come back in and we saw the result but we will never know.

     

    2) the offense was much better game planned and schemed than the defense. too many give up 3rd downs, too many rushers/blitzers leaving too few in coverage when we were not getting to Wilson, just a bunch of things on defense that were not working.

     

    Note: the defense executed better than the offense but that is not high bar. the defense could not tackle, rush the qb, and were poor in coverage.


    Agree w most of that.  Certainly the blitzes last night were insanely dumb - and even when they only rushed 3 or 4, they kept rushing too far downfield and letting Wilson easily step up and reset or scramble.

     

    The gym teacher coach has lost his team.
