  1. He's in a bit of a funk right now. A few years ago ARod had a three or four game stretch where he was just terrible. Van Pelt had to scrub his mechanics. Allen will be himself soon enuf. He's just too talented for this to last imo.
  2. When he releases his feet are close together on some passes. Terrible form.
  3. if tua had not gotten hurt we'd have three more sacks at least. their o-line is bad.
  4. After mitch leaves I'd like him as our backup. Always liked him.
  5. He hit the hole faster even if he didn't run faster.
  6. Jones is a lot better than either one of those guys IMO. But its certainly true that the G-Men have been in a funk for years now.
  7. Hopefully his long ball is getting better. If memory serves the Saunders overthrow wasn't terrible. I thought Saunders was maybe 1 and 1/2 strides away. He used to overthrow John Brown, who is a true burner, by 5 yards. EDIT: I have now seen Wiz's earlier post with pics and with which I agree.
  8. As usual Simms breakdown is very instructive. I get that Steeler's disguised their coverage to confuse Allen but don't defences disguise their coverages routinely in an effort to confuse or deceive the QB and hasn't Allen shown that he is capable of making post snap reads? Sounds like Simms is saying that Pittsburg's understanding of the NE O is so deep that finding the open receiver was especially difficult involving additional levels of complexity, presenting Allen with something of a shell game. While all QBs miss open receivers at times, and I haven't gone back to check the tape, but I don't myself recall Allen passing up lots of open receivers underneath. I though Steelers coverage was pretty much good at all levels. Kudos to them. Maybe Brady could counter with a good ground game. Not sure we are able to do that effectively. Josh Allen is still of course a young, inexperienced QB but he's smart. He will be a better QB by the end of the year than he is now.
  9. They have led the League in sacks last 4 years I think
  10. While never a running QB Ben was much more mobile when he was younger. That is obvious. But even when younger and faster he was never in Allen's class as a runner. Not even close. He could always take a big hit though and probably still can.
  11. Mongo would do some badass thing for sure.
  12. Agree. Imagine the bench clearing baseball fight that would erupt if they cheapshotted Josh lol.
  13. I've never ever seen Ben run like Josh either. If he could he'd maybe run more often.
  14. Three points would have been more than enuf if the Cowboys had a kicker.
  15. I get the Brady love but I dont exactly share it. I can't think of another player who has made better or more productive use of his particular skill set/talents. And to be clear his talent is obviously considerable and such as to place him without doubt amongst the best ever. He was also an outstanding player and a proven winner in college and him lasting into the sixth round of the draft was ridiculous. But football is a team sport and I cant think either of another player who benefitted more from his association with a great organization top to bottom throughout his tenure in NE, great coaches, players. Those championships belong more to the organization than just to Brady himself. If I were starting a dream team from scratch today even just looking at currently active players and even assuming a Tom Brady at the peak of his powers, there is no way he would be my choice for QB. I'd pick Josh, Pat, AR ahead of him. If the GOAT just means the most successful while still being a great player then sure. Clearly he's not the most talented even just looking at QBs.
