We we understand that a pocket of you guys are super angry over Allen’s 2-3 record through 5 games. JA's the only one on the roster that can do something . Only quarterback that can move the chains on this offense is an athletic QB that says **** it, nobody's open, if I throw it to their tiny catch radius they either drop it, pop it up for a pick, or catch! and fumble, or make their best catch of the season called back for a holding penalty.. I'm running it baby! Russel Wilson might be the only quarterback on the planet that could win with this team. Tyrod would at least be a poor man's Wilson (very poor man's).. Josh Allen might learn some good (or bad) habits playing this way, but I like a guy that can scrub a toilet with some dirty water and a tooth brush. Oh and some guy named Kaepernick.. literally the only way to get first downs on offense. I know we want that Dan Marino pocket golden boy, but man.. an uninjured JA playing week 1 all throughout the season running through MLBs smaller than him would squeeze out an okay record with this defense.

Soda Popinski Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I'd have done a couple different things, I'd have gone after John Sullivan in free agency instead of Bodine he'd be my starting center. I'd have jettisoned Vlad and probably gone with Teller, that or gone after Justin Pugh (who's been injured but was a solid free agent target guard). I'd have not signed Star so I had money to sign my two olinemen. But looking back, there was really not much we could have done with respect to the WRs, so really we would be in the exact same boat we are now. Except for Bridgewater, I'd have signed him instead of letting him go to the Jets. No McCarron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut ties now, don't waste time. They have assembled an almost impossibly bad offense. That will not be fixed in one or two offseasons. Offense wins football games. Period. All of their BS about "defense" and "running the ball" and "field position" should cause Uncle Terry to show them the door immediately. I didn't say they would figure it out. Right now we dont know. And if you think a coach should be fired after a year and a half after taking a team to the playoffs for the first time in almost 20 years you are the one who doesnt have a clue. And again can you answer why you think Uncle Terry is going to get it right this time? If they did fire McDermott youd be here on two years saying the samething. And Idk McDermott might not be the guy but a coach should get three years. And answer me this...where has the constant hiring and firing of coaches got this team?

I believe they actually thought Peterman would be better passing the football because he'd throw it quickly. I believe they're inept football people. Agreed. Since McDermott has been HC he's made numerous terrible decisions on the offensive side of the football. There's little evidence he knows how to evaluate QBs or WRs or even offensive linemen. McDermott is Jauron 2.0. A super conservative HC whose defenses play hard but is constantly plagued by inept offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is coaching. absolutely, that's one flaw I'm perfectly okay with, can be easily fixed. But he is pretty bad at it, even for a rook. Wentz was doing this from day one.. I mean, it's not like they didn't have to do the same thing in college, so that's worrisome. Idk if JA had that issue in college, but I seriously doubt it. I'd bet it's 100% nerves being in the NFL afraid to change anything your OC set up assuming he had a crystal ball calling protections.. I never see quarterbacks have this issue for very long, so he just needs a QB coach barking in his ear about it. If that's not happening, that's godawful coaching. If it is, JA needs to listen as it really shouldn't take long to at least make some coverage adjustments. Just bringing it up because there were sacks where a safety was clearly blitzing, the defense was loaded on one side, and JA seems to never make blocking assignments. I remember a safety blitz in particular where the announcers were saying he HAS to see that.. even if it's a disguised zone, assign Shady away from his wheel route on your left, put him on the safety side on the right, and assign a rub route or just a read block to run the wheel on the side of the safety if he's disguising the blitz or chill and block the safety if he is blitzing. Noticed the announcers were saying the blitzers had a huge advantage, because they were showing blitz, then blitzing, with JA not accounting for it. If you're showing blitz.. AND blitzing then you're getting to the quarterback so much faster. If JA isn't making that presnap read, there's no point in disguising a blitz lol. Just do it. How many times can I say blitz in a post... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made the playoffs last year with a below average offense and instead of building on that, made it worse. You can't expect this offense to be fixed in one off-season. You can't neglect one side of the ball. In 2 years most likely Williams, Alexander and Hughes will be gone. Will this FO sign Tre White to a big long term contract.... With what. They are cap straped. I f things dont improve over the next few years Ill be with you. But I dont expect a championship in year 2. I suppose last year was the result of all the great talent we had or was our 9-7 season after dumping over priced players and people who didnt want to be here a result of coaching. BTW amazing you expect the ream to compete with the big boys right away but you say yourself things dont happen in a single offseason. Think about your own words. Personally I still like Zay. I think Teller will be a beast. We just drafted Dawkins last year. I like Ray-Ray. If Allen continues to progress we have our franchise QB. Beane did something others refused to do. He traded up and took a swing for a QB. Whether it works out or not he took a shot. Edited October 30, 2018 by formerlyofCtown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are two VERY different scenarios. I don't know if he'll get it right this time. What I do know is that I very much believe he got it wrong the last time and like any good businessman, he needs to recognize this is a bad investment and cut his losses. If the new coach & GM they hire turn out to not be good at their jobs too, then yes -- I would definitely be back here saying the same thing until they stumble upon the right people. Stop hiring coaches & GMs that come in to an interview talking about "run & stop the run", "defense", "ball control", and "field position". Only hire coaches who talk about scoring lots of points and understanding the risk/reward of 4th down. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have seen we got by on a good secondary, and passed on Edmunds for Ridley.. love him, but can improve there next year no? Suddenly we have an offense where we have a slight idea what Josh can do. Got better in our rebuild, and spend all our dough on both sides of the ball cause all this CAP I'm hearing about having next year needs to be spread around.. since top quality FAs are rare and won't magically turn out to be a treasure of O Line and WRs.

I've noticed this trend in people who are Beane and McDermott fans. They get really angry when you criticize them. Yesterday some guy, I think he was serious, he accused me of being mentally ill. Maybe I am, I don't know. Maybe he's a really smart guy, but the retarded children and posts like that other dude was making just make you look bad. I'm guilty of saying dumb things too.

We lost two ProBowl caliber OL. First your build your defense. Then you build your offense and then you insert your young QB. Unless of coarse you get fooled by Peterman and jump the gun with a trade of the QB you figured would start. Then you insert your young QB and hope he gets injured before his confidence is completely destroyed. We are in good shape I believe. Give it another season and a half. This coming draft is supposed to be deep at WR hopefully we don't give up a bounty of picks to go up and get the best one only to have him go through 3 years of injuries.
