All Brady has done is let Allen play like the Allen of the last 4 seasons.  And yes as he's shown over the last 2 games against 2 of the better defenses in the NFL he is indeed a special, generational talent.

 

It's clear from the comments starting in the off season and coming out during the last few weeks that McD and I suspect Bean, deliberately tried to remake Allen into a a very different QB.  Whether they had Allen's full investment here or he just gave it that old college try we may never know.  They did have their useful puppet in Dorsey who tried to turn McD/Beans vision for Allen into realty.

 

But the sad realty is that they failed spectacularly, Dorsey took the fall and the Bills will miss the playoffs for the first time in 5 seasons.  This failure, which should be laid at the feet of McD & Bean is a fireable offense IMO. Hopefully the elevation of Brady and more importantly the decision to let Allen go back and play like the Allen of old came directly from Pegula.  If it did then there is hope that we can be rid of Bean & McD at the end of this season.

 

I know that everything I've written here is pure speculation.  But I've followed this team for well over 50 years and the evidence supports my take on events.  Bean & McD messed with the magic sauce that made Allen a special talent at QB.  They did this while also continuing to over value the D and undervalue the O.  That's a recipe for failure and we're seeing it play out on the field.

 

 

 

Daboll was Josh's only chance at becoming the elite star he is.  All McDermott did was alienate Daboll and force Beane into failed defensive picks.  Brady does show promise but only with McD gone.

***** bull####.

 

What a classy bunch of #######s we just played, you almost forget how they took advantage of the refs not calling penalties to take shots at our players.

It wasn't just about the 15 calls that went in favor of the Eagles.  The put in some cheap shots too. Especially the one on Josh & Diggs that were utterly ignored.

what happened johnson?....he was killing it.   

then we went back to murry and cook.   

   


How can Murray be out there on first down at any part of the game.., let alone late ? should be short yardage only… Johnson played well… I have been impressed with him and he deserves another invitation to come back and compete for one of the Top 3 RBs  next year …

I agree.  One of the great lies told by the local Buffalo/Rochester media and some in the national football media is the one where Bean & McD did a great job in getting Allen up to speed.  But those of us who were watching this team in 2018 know for a fact that McD totally screwed it up.  From not naming Allen the starter and giving him the lions share of 1st team training camp & preseason snaps to the failure to bring a veteran QB in to act as Allen's mentor to Bean's decision to dismantle the offense in the expectation that Allen would sit his rookie year only to see that plan blown up in the first half of game one when the Bills under Peterman couldn't get a single 1st down!

 

Daboll and Allen himself are responsible for Allen surviving his rookie year and then making a great leap going forward.

I just find it simply amazing that since McKenzie tripped over himself and fumbled on a kickoff return against the colts 2 years ago this month, we have not lost by more than 6 points. But time and time again we play like absolutely idiotic garbage yet still come close to winning. Wow. 


The bengals in the playoffs ?

I'd say it was a combination effort Daboll was a bit much him screaming at Allen in the Patriots game and getting sent into the booth was probably a good balance of McDermott and Daboll.

For any worries about McDermott making it to next season

 

One thing I know for certain the NFL loves money, they can't be happy that a top QB that drives ratings and is healthy is likely to miss the playoffs and a Kenny Pickett or Joe flacco or Gardner minshew or Dorian Thompson Robinson or Jake Browning is gonna be in the playoffs 


So what are you saying? We gunna get some calls?

Of course he was, the idea he was asking for a penalty on his own team that essentially counts as a sack anyway is ***** stupid. That's like saying Josh has thrown more picks this year because he's avoiding incompletions.

Yea but I'm also talking about practice, game planning and the selection of talent to surround Allen with.  Bean/McD had a plan for Allen that fell apart by halftime of the Ravens game. 

 

That entire summer I couldn't understand what Bean/McD were trying to do.  Living here in Cincinnati I knew what McCarron was - a back up QB that wasn't exactly a grizzled vet wanting to mentor a young QB.  McCarron went to Buffalo to start, not babysit a 1st round draft pick.  Why McD/Bean thought he was the guy to mentor Allen is beyond me.

 

And don't get me started on the decision to start Peterman.  At the very least how could ANY coach or GM think this guy could be a starting QB in the NFL?  It tells me nether of these guys has a clue about QB's and the Allen pick was blind luck.  But worse, Peterman who snagged most of the 1st team reps over the summer and then was so bad in the opener Bean/McD had to throw the rookie QB they wanted to sit his rookie year to the wolves.  And considering that assembly of offensive backup practice squad level players that Bean had assembled they really did throw Allen to the wolves.

Tell me what the point of having a defensive minded HC is when the star QB gives your team the lead, late, with the defense only needing one stop … not one, not two, but three times in 12 games and in all 3 games, we all knew they wouldn’t get that stop.  
 

It was actually 4 times, but one game they got a stop after letting a horrible offense drive the entire field because the refs didn’t call PI on us.  
 

My mistake McDermott, don’t want to leave that feather in the cap out for you. 
 

Tell me what the point of having a defensive minded HC is when you settle for a FG in overtime and and the second the 3rd down play fell incomplete, we all knew deep down that we lost the game.

Must be fun as an OC to have to tie an arm behind your back to teach it a lesson in the middle of a game with the season potentially on the line.

It blows my mind that McD treats some of his players so unprofessionally.  And what makes it worse is that McD is not consistent with who and for what he "punishes" his players.

I keep saying that we are all in an abusive relationship with our football team. Every week they give us black eyes and fat lips but we come back every time
