Royale with Cheese

You are coming up with your own way of calculating something and then labeling it as a fact? I trust people who actually understand the game and knows what they are looking at. That's not you, no offense, it's not me either. Bernard wasn't great, but was okay. Nope.

The alignment is the bigger issue. White, who should have made the tackle, but was also put in a tough spot covering two gaps in that instance.

Kirksey going to start when healthy or do you think Bernard stays?

Shanahan traded multiple first round picks for Trey Lance who isn’t a robot.

I don't believe that's how its calculated.

He's on WGR now. Said that Ken Dorsey gave him a good game plan with plenty of underneath throws for Allen to take.

His average stop was 1 yard.

I do feel that he's totally embarrassed. This MNF is the highest rated one ever I believe. He doesn't appear to be a guy to turtle up, he probably is to work his ass off this week. Dorsey needs to take a gigantic step back in the playbook and just make easy reads for Allen....like he's a rookie again. Slowly bring him back. But the biggest thing is he needs to relax his mind. You can step up your watching film, throwing, studying etc....all you want but if you're holding onto the negative and unsure mindset, nothing will change. I expect a better game this week...I'm going to start with that.

If that's how you want to think, go ahead.

You are being extremely dramatic. Allen is going to watch the film and see the multiple missed opportunities and he's going to point the finger at the OC and his lack of weapons? If they are open and Allen doesn't throw it to them, you're blaming the WR's? He's lost trust in the offense when HE is the one not doing his part?

Sorry Transplant but nothing killed the atmosphere more than Rodgers getting hurt on the 4th play. It was dead. We were up by 10 at one point during the game. If this opening day atmosphere for this was too huge for Allen, are you confident he would play well in a Super Bowl?

Okay, I misread that particular part. That wasn't the only thing we were talking about....care to address those?

I’m not talking about their skill set and abilities. Why does that matter? We are talking about overcoming adversity. Allen has a different skill set than Burrow meaning he’s more susceptible to losing confidence or something? You stated Allen stays in the pocket too long, this post you’re now saying he leaves too early? Which one is it? The issues are clear with Josh. He said it himself and has said it for years starting 6 years ago.

Then why has Burrow been able to get through it? His offensive line in his first two years was terrible. Sacked 9 times in a playoff game. He was sacked constantly in their 0-2 start last year. Losing confidence in the OL means you throw downfield into double coverage? It means you don’t throw the underneath route and force things?

These games shouldn’t happen in Year 6. Bad games happen but this was at a different level.

I see two guys in this page flirting.

This really needs to wake him up.

Employees, just like athletes can regress. If I’m a good employee for 5 years and just check out completely year 6 for whatever reason, that’s not on management. That’s on me. Professional sports and regular work are not the same and they play by different rules.

Fair enough. But you see what's happening to the position. We had a competent running game last year. Cook was great towards the end of the year and Singletary was at 4.6 ypc. He wasn't great but it was competent.

I mean it is a passing league. The last time the leading rusher in the NFL won a Super Bowl was almost 30 years ago. The consistent winners are passing teams.

You don't have to go to one extreme to the other. Allen doesn't have the mindset to be a check down guy. He just needs better situational awareness. He was throwing the ball around last night like we were down by two scores late in the 4th.

We wouldn't be talking about this if White makes the tackle.

I'm hoping this is a real wake up call for Allen. He's had bad games and turnovers before but last night was embarrassing. He seems like a guy that when embarrassed, the fire comes back. He doesn't have fire anymore.

It is a good point and WGR has pointed that out too. It takes us sh****** our bed for them to beat us and it's only by one score. We shoot ourselves in the foot.
