    What is funny to me is you don't even realize you just shut down any criticism you have ever had of any player, coach, GM etc in the history of being on TSW - because how could you ever know better or know more than who you are criticizing - those are your literal words here.  And considering you are pretty much negative year round, that would make almost every post you have ever made irrelevant based on your own words here.  

     

    So if someone criticizes Brady, Beane, McD, Allen, etc - how could they know better than them right...unless of course it fits your own opinion or bias, then it's spot on right?  lmao

     

    But hey, thanks for making it clear that you think the coaches, Beane, Allen, etc are flawless and that you will never criticize any of them ever again, because how could you ever know better than them right.  I mean that is the literal meaning of what you just wrote.

    Agree. This kind of response--"Your view isn't legitimate because you're not a GM or NFL scout"--is not worth the pixels that spell it out.

    Mcconkey was right there at our pick.

    It's sort of sickening, isn't it? Like KC jumping over us to take McDuffie, leaving Beane to take Elam, or eagerly taking Creed Humphrey when Beane went with Boogie Basham since he had a 32-year old center, or Detroit jumping on Sam LaPorta after Beane chose the fragile Kincaid, and so on.

     

    Yes, playing hindsight is unfair, but Beane is accountable for his increasing number of mistakes. I give him credit for Bosa and Hoecht, but it looks like his delusions about the wide receiver position have doomed the season before it hits the halfway point.

  3. Beane gambled the entire season on Coleman developing. He must have been horrified when his backup plan--a panicked trade at the deadline--fell through, realizing as well as anyone he blew it, again. That is not the performance of a top GM. 

     

    Coleman, Samuel, Moore, Palmer, Shavers, a lineup will go down as one of the worst wide-receiver corps in team history. Beane's gift to the organization.

    McDermott has also proven at this point that he actually doesn't understand how to utilize Allen to his fullest potential. We have completely bought in to our 3 TE running attack and have the highest percentage of rushing plays in the NFL. This is not an offense schemed for an MVP QB. McDermott truly does not value the way we would come out in the Daboll era with 20+ passes and get the offense rolling and a big lead. He wants to eek out wins. That's the mentality when Alex Smith is your QB. It's just a complete mis-match in personnel and coaching philosophy.

    And we know its McDermott at this point because EVERY OC reverts to this with him if you give them enough time. He and Daboll aren't on good terms (assuredly a power struggle of some sort), he made Dorsey a scape goat, and now Brady -- who was once running an effective 4WR split shotgun offense in CAR -- is basically trying to just call Kromer's rushing attack every chance he can.

    People claiming for a shiny new WR or blaming only Beane don't realize this is EXACTLY what the conservative McDermott wants. He's said as much. He doesn't want us running a no huddle two minute offense because he doesn't want to gas out his defense. He doesn't want to let Josh go off his leash because he's worried about injuries. He doesn't want to have a high octane offense with deep routes because we might throw a pick. McDermott doesn't want to take risks and he has shown this in the way he's built the team.

    The crowning irony is not that for all his extraordinary skills, Allen isn't particularly good at what McDermott wants, a pocket quarterback who is reliable, accurate, and doesn't take off running (because injuries). So, unbelievably, McDermott is probably frustrated he's been dealt a unicorn who can lift the world on his shoulders. He doesn't want that, and he's been trying for years to change him into an ordinary quarterback so he can win with field goals and a stout defense. As others have said, it's an appalling, disgusting waste of talent, the equivalent of confining Secretariat to a kiddy ride at the State Fair. 

     

    Ultimately, what might suck the most is that McDermott and Beane are going nowhere, since Allen is good enough to carry this team to the playoffs every year even deprived of professional receivers. This farce is going to play out until Allen is 33 or 34, when he finally will be traded to a team he promptly takes to a Super Bowl or two. 

     

    Frankly, I don't think there's any hope, since it would take an epiphany from Pegula, Beane, and/or McDermott, none of whom have shown evinced any evidence--beyond talk--that they understand what they have in Allen. The only outside chance is that McDermott fires Brady and hires someone he thinks will be a yes-man but who is actually a rebel who gets instant results and so can't be fired.

     

    McDermott will have to be dragged, kicking and screaming, to the Super Bowl. There, as in the 13-second game, Allen WILL deliver, and McDermott WILL play not to lose--and lose. 


    Tell me I'm wrong. I very much want to be.

    I had trouble watching 2nd half. So didn't see all. 

     

    Brady was just tone deaf all day. Empty on 2nd and 4 in 1st quarter? 

     

    Poor tackling was silly. Again, we often had plays sniffed out only to not wrap bounce off dudes or take crazy bad angles. 

     

    Linebackers are a huge problem. Milano and Bernard look done. Tre was pathetic. 

     

    Turnovers were crazy. Bad turnovers. Allen's fumble was just dumb. Go down. 

     

    Allen's INT in endzone was a killer dumb throw. 

     

    WRs were bad. Keone struggling. 

     

    Just horrible effort here today. 

     

     

    I don't agree Coleman is struggling. He's not even trying. Another Kelvin Benjamin.

    It wasn’t pi. He was playing for the back shoulder throw flag but the ball traveled BEYOND him. It’s gotta be behind him. It wasn’t.

    But once again he didn't bother finding or fighting for the ball. His modus operandi is to get tangled up with the corner, have the ball hit his shoulder, and look around for a flag. I don't recall a worst receiver in a Bills uniform since Kelvin Benjamin.
