Totally agree. I was pretty impressed with most of the first half. The snake bit flukey turnovers were a gut punch but they didn't indicate inherent issues to me.
Agreed on the two mistakes.
I wonder if it will always be like this?
I fluctuate between skeptical and optimistic on Allen. I felt pretty damn impressed with him after the first half. Yes, the half of four turnovers. One of which (the first fumble), was his fault.
That's an interesting observation. There were a number of plays where I thought he got caught watching Darnold and not his coverage and got exposed. Maybe I missed a bunch? Actually asking.
One fumble was on Josh. Tuck it.
It's crazy that THREE turnovers were unequivocally not on him. Without watching them personally, outside observers will crap on his stats. Oh well.
Better team won.
Do you guys remember that thread back when Fitz had us off to a flying start? It was "this method of winning is unsustainable" or something to that effect. This was the opposite of that game. I thought we moved the ball well and our defense was really strong. And we just kept shooting ourselves in the foot with these god awful billsy *****ups.
Fixing the dumb mistakes and feeling good about the core of our team feels better than fluking a win. Let the jests fans say what they may, I take our roster all day long.
95 is a tad hyperbolic but I definitely agree with the sentiment of avoiding 3rd and long as Allen's only opportunities to throw the ball. Forces him into hero ball mode.
Well we gotta talk about something! My list:
#1 all white throwbacks
#2 blue jersey/white pants
#3 all whites
--big dropoff--
#4 color rush
#5 white jersey/blue pants
#6 all blues
I knew the discrepancy was considerable, but that is rough. Especially considering the latter is what actually matters. We better get that in the top 10 if we want a shot at the playoffs.
