Lamar Jackson as starting QB is still amazing. He’s young and no one expects him to not progress. If I’m the Washington Football Team next week I’m watching this film, but this is more about Mahomes than it is about Jackson. At this stage of their careers Mahomes is lightyears ahead.

A big part of the Patriots success was actually in their running game & play action, and screen passes. Brady was a master at checking into the right play audible. Allen is getting there.

Not an interception, but they did get the 4th & 9 call correct to make up for it.

The lack of crowd noise might also have an affect. NE still is good at D, no doubt they are finding it easier listening in on the QBs calls at the line. Something to look out for.

I believe that was Taron Johnson he made a break on a screen pass and hit the man, had he possibly located the ball and maneuvered to intercept it he would have found paydirt. Defensive TDs in games like that are the difference between needing a comeback winning driving and being up 35-17. I believe it was 28-17 at that point. Rams would go on to score 8, to cut the lead 25-28.

To me the game boiled down to Allen having the ball last and engineering a gutsy drive. All 11 got the job done.

I think his underlying injuries make him more susceptible to re-injury, hence self preservation.

I’m not too worried about PFF. What I am worried about is too much scrambling backwards in the pocket without a good grasp on the ball. That said Donald should have been called for roughing the passer on one of his sacks, as he dribbled Allen’s helmet into the ground.

When a team comes from behind they will throw at all targets that are open. To me White is simply playing the concept of the defense which is to keep everything in front of him.

I liked seeing Levi making that pick.

Gabe Davis is a fighter

They can score and are good on offense. Their defense got ran all over today in NE. Hopefully we can get our ground game going & pound them.

Allen played a good game. On to the next.

We have butter, we have wings.

Top 5 team with a great run game and good QB will tend to put up points. They gave us their best shot, thankfully our kicker was better than there’s.

I didn’t like many calls today but the better team won. Imagine if we had Donald. That dude is amazing.

Yeldon looked good on his few runs today.

I’m expecting lots of running. I expect 40+ minutes in time of possession. Lots of running a double teams on Donald to wear him down. Hopefully Yeldon or Jones is ready to spell Devin.

Arm Strength Allen is 99. No accuracy or awareness boost?

This hurts but consider that Guards are abundant elite WRs, CBS, TEs, QBs not so much.

The hamstring injury studies I’ve read conclude Milano will miss 2-3 games. For Tremaine most of the things I’ve read on AC joint sprains, dislocations is 4-12 weeks. Obviously we don’t know the specifics: MRI, severity or specific location, anatomy involved of either players injury, so this is all speculation. I’ve read a good bit on both injury types and sports science is certain on one thing - if a player rushes back the re-injury risk goes up by multiples.

It’s easy to root for Allen. He’s a fierce competitor and is so calm.

Allen is proving his talent, competitiveness, and arm strength can = 4th Qtr comebacks. This kid is impressive.

Miami this week is a must win mindset. Starting 2-0, means an 8-6 finish likely clinches a playoff spot. Start stacking wins good things fall into place.

From what I see from Burrow I like. The guy will be 24 by the end of the season so I question whether he’s going to develop much more physically. He’s basically the same age as Allen & Lamar Jackson. Let’s see how quickly he catches up. The only stat that matters is wins and losses and he’s 0-2 so far.
