My thoughts are that Beane has failed to get Allen the proper weapons and Allen is being forced into making bad decisions. Yes the offensive line was bad tonight but there is probably a time or 6 tonight that if anyone was open, Allen could have gotten it off without getting killed. It would also help if Allen from time to time just decides to throw the ball out of bounds. I get it most of the time it works but when the attack is coming that quick the clock has to tell you to play it smart until you can't anymore. Brady made some bone headed calls tonight for sure but I don't care who is calling this offense. We don't have adequate enough weapons and the offensive line was a joke tonight.
On defense, this coaching staff refuses to get bigger and faster in the past and its catching up to them. They seem like they are finally learning their lesson by adding guys who can run in the secondary (Hairston, Bishop, Hancock) but they are still way too small at the 2nd level. Johnson is toast, Bernard hasn't been good before the injury and Milano is a shell of himself. I'm sure they were hoping for Dorian Williams to be that guy for Milano's spot but its looking like he'll be a solid backup only. There were also times that the entire defensive line in the first half was getting blown off the ball 2-3 yards by arguably one of the worst offensive lines in football but the Texans line looked like what the Bills line should be tonight.
If this team is going to continue to run nickle, which they will as long as McDermott is here, Milanos and Johnson's spot needs to be upgraded as soon as possible.
