He’s good, but it’s the tough running of Coltrane between the tackles I’m worried about. 

Thanks to the road grading blocks by Cannonball!

We have to find a happy medium between McClappy’s desire to have 15 plays drives and unleashing the Mustang. Josh is not a game manager. He’s at his best when he’s running, lowering his shoulder, and improvising. We need a little of both Josh playing within structure and going off script. Brady schemed guys open last week, hopefully he does the same this week and Josh actually takes the easy stuff then unloads with the Alien Power.

 

Exactly. I think people, especially McDermott, have been slow to realize Allen is a highly emotional player. When he gets fired up, he comes alive. It's no coincidence he played so well against Lamar, Mahomes, and Mayfield, three of his top peers. In the Miami game, I think if McDermott had gone for it on fourth and inches on their own thirty-yard line or whatever, Josh might have played a different game. McDermott's forcing him into a cerebral game-manager role is the worst thing he could do with this quarterback, that and not giving him weapons. He's not Tom Brady, he's better than Brady. Or rather could be if he had a GM, coach and coordinator who knew how to tap his enormous potential. 

 

In short, Allen is playing as well as is despite Beane, McDermott, and Brady, not because of them. I'm not saying they're awful at their jobs. They're just ordinary people doing ordinary things with an extraordinary athlete. And they're holding him back.

When Stroud came out with his list of top 5 QBs, what jumped off that list was that all 5 players are people of color.

That's obviously noticeable but he has the right to his opinion

If Allen and Cook get automatic game balls every week, Samuel and Bernard get automatic injury designations. 

[EmotionallyUnstable]

Well if Hardman’s injury is anything long term, the easiest swap would be move to IR and sign Gabe to the active roster. I am guessing they will first try and expire the remaining two PS call ups because I am wondering based on the Sanders/Solomon usage if they’re trying to get Morgan Fox up to speed to contribute on the DL

Ohh well. Buffalo is banged up. No one remembers this after the season. It's Ws or Ls. That's it. Go win.

I think tomorrow’s injury report is actually more telling for a Thursday game. If I were a coach, I would limit exposure for guys with any nicks during the short week. The install meetings are much more important than the actual practices.

That goes without saying and no one's disputing that.

But it shows the disrespect he has for Joshua Allen 

 

That he thinks he's better

 

He's not better than any of the quarterbacks he listed

I don't even have an issue about him naming people of color. If that's how he lists it's fine. But at least be humble and not include yourself after being in the league for a cup of coffee. 

 

Also, the most offensive thing to me is that if he wanted to name all people of color....pick better ones. Dak over Jordan Love is an abomination. Heck Russ Wilson has a better career resume than Dak.

I think ‘this is incredibly hard to read’ might’ve been banged up bills commenting on the font choices they made for that graphic tbh 😂. Black font on dark red is a ridiculous choice

It was a list specific to 2023, no? Or that's how I was thinking of it. Wilson wasn't the same ferocity of tire fire he had been in 2022, but he still wasn't a top-10 guy in '23.

The good:  Shaq Thompson is full!

 

But the rest is bad. I get that many are just carry-overs from last week and most of those guys played, but that's a long list.

 

McBelicheat and his injury designations 

[Big Blitz]

This needs to be a Cook game and absolutely in no way should Houston score anywhere near 20 points.  
 

They just don’t allow anything through the air and the pass rush is elite.  
 

Need to be boring, NO turnovers, and keep pounding the rock at them.  
 

We win this game and then follow up at hopefully a Rodgers - less Steelers and we can be in business to run the table.  
 

 

This was always the toughest game on the schedule to me after the Ravens game bc of that defense alone and it’s on the road.  
 

Game won’t look anything like yesterday.
