Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 1 minute ago, Turk71 said: Ask McD why Allen threw 46 times in a game they led for 3 1/2 qtrs. Ask him why Singletary got only 13 carries all game when he was dominating the first half. Why did his d play soft on third and 18 with the game on the the line ? McD throwing Allen under the bus after the game is disgraceful in my opinion. All good questions and should be asked, but I honestly don't think McD intended to throw Allen under the bus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just blows my mind. The missed sack was devastating. That was the ball game. Honestly for a guy that preaches fundamentals our tackling this season was trash 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He brought up the lateral play, which was unnecessary and didn't point out any of the positives. Allen had almost 350 total yards, took some tough hits and bounces back up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, with regards to the blown lateral, obviously a terrible play and judgement, but if Knox catches it and rumbles for 20 yards it’s remembered very differently. The difference between magic and mayhem is one blade of grass in the nfl. Agreed. Watching the presser it wasn't as bad as its made out to be in terms of what Mcd said. The last comment about magic and mayhem couldn't apply to anyone more than Allen! . I would call it magic, mayhem and a bit of desperation.

Yupp. If Knox catches that he’s got 20+ yards of open space in front of him. Would have been insane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tennessee just beat the Patriots in a game where their QB had 72 yds passing, 11 yds rushing, threw an INT, and fumbled 2x. They also generated just 14 points on offense. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly it's shaken my faith in McD. You get to know the quality of a man when he faces tough times. How he responds is critical. The whole point of the "process" as I understood it was that after a loss like this, the team & coaches would circle the wagons. And if ever there was a team loss this was it. Maybe I'm reading to much into what McD said. But it just doesn't seem right. You let the dust settle and watch the film before making any kind of comment like this. I think upon reflection most Bill's fans are going to see that there was a lot of positives out there today. This has the feel of 1989 and that's a good thing. And since the early years of Jim Kelly's career, when was the last time we felt as good about our QB going from year 2 to 3? I would answer this is the FIRST time since the early Kelly years. Think about all the QB's we've had since Kelly retired. There isn't one who I felt good about going from their 2nd to their 3rd season here. NOT ONE until Allen. That's a huge step forward and McD needs to be careful about fouling this moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he's going on impressions and emotions right now and he'll settle in after he watches the film, but that lateral was a standout as a horrible play, so I'm sure it was on his mind.

BillsFan692 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 The lateral resulted in the ball going out of bounds and stopping the clock which the bills needed as we were out of time outs and had no way to stop clock. Personally I think that was allens true intent to get it to knox to go out of bounds. Foolish maybe, but he got it out of bounds and so it was beneficial... Why all the super analysis? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Linen Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 How could a QB be defined as trying to do too much when his coaches put Pat Dimarco in as the X receiver for multiple plays in overtime. Then when they take him out and put Singletary in as the X - Josh hits him for 14 and a 1st down. Stand up there and blame yourself coach. Shameful!! 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
