They focused so much on Barkley for three quarters they allowed Jones to dictate the game. Was the same exact issue we saw in Philadelphia it's going to be the same exact issue we'll see when they play the Jets, Ravens & Broncos this Sunday. 

Caldwell is struggling to adjust and the defense is simply failing to effect the QB in the pocket. Way too much time in the pocket these last few weeks for the opponent's QB. It needs to be addressed. 

Not sure what all the hype with Josh Allen is around here. I am not convinced he needs to be resigned. I would tag him and trade him for anything we can get just like they did Ngakoue a few years ago.

I just don't think Allen is physically strong enough to play the position and his speed doesn't make up for the weakness. Great guy and all that but simply not effective enough at moving the QB.

Agreed. People can throw out the PPF grade all they want. I don't care how close he gets to the QB or wins his battles. He's simply not hitting home and that was what he was drafted to do. If this team keeps losing and finishes with a top three pick? Will Anderson immediately becomes my favorite out of Alabama. Followed closely by Jalen Carter out of Georgia. 

I would seriously tag Allen though and trade him for a 2nd and 3rd RD pick or a late 1st RD pick if a team feels like they can utilize him better than we could here. Start backfilling the WR, TE and G position offensively and start backfilling the DT and CB positions on defense. They have to start figuring out a way to effect the QB though. 

The base three or base four just simply cannot get it done. It's aggravating.
