Coach Tuesday

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.

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.

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.

Attention-shopping on the internet is a daily activity for millions.

THIS IS NOT X (TWITTER)

No dude Jesus.

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.

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.

They should bill him for that tablet on the way out.

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.

Maybe this will scare Josh straight.

Mine will read “User Error”

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

As a leader, and as a parent, you should expect your best and worst qualities to be mirrored back to you. McD’s teams have heart and they put in effort. But they are insecure and tight and, often, choke in key moments. Both are personality traits of their HC.

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

Write him a telegram.

It will take blowout losses by the class A teams (Philly, Dallas, KC) and then probably another fluke loss to the Jets or Patriots to wake Pegula from his ambivalence. But that’s how I see it playing out eventually. He will have no choice once this season ends.

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.

McDermott now has a track record of tightening up and then choking at the end of close games. It’s time to move on, but Terry will need more convincing. Luckily, the schedule is about to do that work for us.

Nope. Those “drops” were on Josh. He has always been a “see it throw it” guy but it’s at another level this year. He is so uninterested pre-snap that he is forced to process everything on the fly. By the time he finally sees it, he often has to throw it with so much zip that it makes it nearly impossible for his receivers, crazy bounces happen, etc. Josh is a huge problem this year and it’s his lack of preparation and work before the ball is snapped. Of course, it would’ve helped to sign a savvy veteran receiver who happens to have the strongest hands in the entire NFL, but Beane didn’t want to shell out another $2m/year or whatever for DHop. I’d fire all of them.

True but it also somehow felt like they went away from the run too often. Seemed like they could’ve run the ball 48 times and won easily or at least waited until it forced Denver to totally load the box. But whatever. This is a poorly-coached team in complete free fall and the only thing preventing change at this point is Pegula’s own laziness.

It will likely take care of itself. They are going to get pasted by the Eagles, Cowboys, Chiefs and Dolphins in Miami, and possibly the Chargers as well. Pegula won’t want to go through another coaching and GM search but the chorus will be too loud by the end of this stretch.

Running the ball was working so of course…,

We’ll see if Josh decides to take life a little more seriously when he gets his buddy Dorsey fired.

They are rushing upfield past Wilson and letting him scramble around.
