Right now, Allen is the former more than the latter.’

McDermott: 'Just too inconsistent overall.' Following loss to Cincinnati

Allen: 'If there is a locker room that can handle this, it's this locker room'
‘”We come out on the opening drive and had some success moving the ball, obviously we hit a lull there and didn’t score really until late in the fourth. We had our opportunities, we didn’t score before half, didn’t get six on the first drive of the second half and that’s not complimentary football.
