Real McClappy Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 2 minutes ago, RyanC883 said: more like the Bills offense continually had short drives. And I don't have an “agenda”. I want the team to win. By any objective measure the offense was a disaster, just like against Balt. I seen plenty of your Allen hate crap in the GDT threads man along with several others. You only peg 100% everything on Allen. How about TOP as our D gave up like 450yds to the Pats and could not get off the field all night? Or admitting our Oline played like last year (horsesh&^ tonight) and Daboll made some really moronic play calls? There is plenty of blame to go around. Yes, Allen has to hit on a few of those throws 100%. The pass to Knox at the end of the game should have been made. How about that 12th and 13th man (refs) for the Pats? There is blame to go all around. Again, though this team is taking high level competition to the brink. We had the lead going into the 4th and 8 yards away from a tie late. Take your bye Buffalo and rest up for the playoffs. I hope all coaching game planning start now for the Texans, don't even waste your time prepping for the Jets IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He missed one throw in the endzone and it would have been a tough one. Other than that we were moving the ball when we passed. Daboll doesn't know when to abandon his game plan. I'm not saying I want him fired or anything, I like his scheme, but he needs to open up the offense in the playoffs. You can NEVER call 3 straight run plays with a 4 point lead against a playoff team. Playing to lose. Great post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Allan in MD Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Looking for any positives, the punting has really been better the last few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right. Nothing. Daboll do not help matters, but it was on him. Let the PR people tee off on me. Let me save you some time: "oh, but Allen is still young". oh, but he is still finding his rhythm, "Billy Buffalo doesn't like him." Okay guys, let me have it. Also, it is the line and receivers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it took guys like Steve Young years and he's in the Hall. And Johnny Unitas wound up with the Colts because he was cut. Lighten up! Not a Pro Bowler.

He played well to anyone who has a reasonable take on the game. this is laughable. you reply to my post, disagree with it, I write a reply then you engage in name-calling and say I’m trying to pick a fight. Posts like this are whats wrong when people try to discuss a game. And reasonable ppl can disagree on whether JA played well today or not. I don’t think he did. He was just okay.

TwistofFate Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 2 minutes ago, Formerly Allan in MD said: Uh, the defense was on the field all game because they couldn't stop much of anything. They didn't tackle and they didn't pressure at all. That's like a gift from above for the Patriots. You do realize the offense is supposed to score points, right? Overthrows, bad throws, and bad sacks have nothing to do with the defense. How many points is the defense supposed to hold playoff teams to week after week? We are 28th passing in the league, we have a bottom ranked Qb and people have the audacity to blame the defense that carried tjis team all season. Un-be-lievable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you believe Allen is progressing, you're very hopeful at this point. Allen has looked decent over the course of those games, being dominant against Dallas, very good against against Pittsburgh, and doing enough to keep it interesting against the other two. We are heading in just the right direction. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He drew up two easy TDs that Josh missed at the beginning and the end vs the best D in football. That said, Allen played well overall in crunch time. and ef you, Pats fans. He was absolutely a problem, too many 1st down runs up the middle and a terrible 1st down call first and goal, he’s too inconsistent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately for us, they sold out in stopping our run game and dared Allen to beat them through the air. Almost worked.

That is why I was harping all game long for Frazier to change things up. White can cover Edelman. No matter where he lined up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaches coach players play...guys in position to tackle on defense, too many missed tackles. On offense, we have a 2nd yr qb who overthrew guys but also made some great throws (Knox before half and brown). How can we say that we got outcoached when playing the 2nd best afc team, who arguably has the best nfl defense and GOAT at qb...please. we are on our way up, just not there yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We touched the ball what 3 times in the first half, why because the defense allowed a 12 play drive and numerous other long drives You can be mad at the O but the D had just as much to do with this loss Stop Making Sense 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeskillitMoorman Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I don’t really buy into the moral victories here, this is not a great Patriots team. McD falls to 0-6 vs the Pats and this was the 2nd game this year that Josh couldn’t make the big plays to beat the Pats. Right now it looks like we’re a small-time team with a small-time QB and coach that can beat bad teams but can’t get the big W’s vs the good ones. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finn Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I agree. Brady was on the bench his second year. Kelly was learning in the USFL There are exceptions, almost all surrounded by exceptional talent, but they're not going to include a raw prospect who had received zero quality coaching in college. Allen has done great in a short time with limited weapons to work with. If the Bills win no more games this season still has been a success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
