Gave never had a chance of establishing position and catching this. The throw is literally to the DB. Maybye the inside WR blocked Josh's view. That's the best I've got.

If there wasn't a second inside coverage guy I could get on board but with Simm's idea but where Allen threw the ball was so far in front of Davis that really only the defender had a chance of getting there first. The best and only out I can give Allen, and in my mind it's reaching, is that somehow the inside WR blocked Allen's view of the 2nd underneath coverage guy and somehow Allen didn't know he was there. All that said when the LB blitzed Allen should have immediately dumped it to Knox.

There was two under and a safety over to the side Allen threw it. You can't throw that pass into that coverage. The underneath coverage had position long before Davis was ever going to reach them and there's really no chance Davis even could just cross the DB's face. Once the LB blitzed it should have gone to the left side. I think this is the one where we had a man downfield on the play so even without the pick it would have been a penalty on our OL.

I'm not going to try to sell you that they get a first but it was 3rd and 9 and they certainly could have picked up 6 or 7 and been inside the 40. We've gone for it a million times on a 4th and 2 and the edge of Prater's field goal range. All that aside the throw he did make was one of a lot of bad decisions Josh has made this year. The throw he missed is forgivable. The throw he made was just bad. Outside of last year Allen has turned the ball over pretty consistently most of his career. We've also usually had better defenses to absorb some of that.

When the backer blitzes he should have automatically gone to that side. You throw to replace the blitzer in almost all situations. If it's done right it's almost a bang bang play and neither queen nor the safety are going to get to the TE before Allen would have had a completion. At the bare minimum you don't throw into that coverage. For all the great things Allen does his best games he takes the profit and plays efficiently and in his not great games, which is happening more this season, he looks off easy throws and winds up in bad situations. It's not the be all end all of stats but there's a reason Allen's QBR is at an all time low.

Outside of Washington somehow sneaking by him for a catch down the seam later in the game he looked pretty good. He also got rag dolled on a run to the left side but those are the only warts I can remember.

In the fine print yes. Actual cap hit this season Bosa is actually cheaper than AJ. They kick some of Bosa's guaranteed contract down the road because the cap goes up every year.

Given the way our defense has been I think making health a staple for signing someone rules out everyone. Pretty sure Benford hasn't made it through a playoff run yet and we resigned him.

At the moment he's getting paid a little better than AJ. If he'd reup for the same kind of money he's currently making the plays he makes while healthy are worth the time he spends nicked up.

Hopefully it's just a "we're up by 3 scores" thing. Giving AJ some reps.

Benford - right place right time most of the day.

Win number 1 on the scoreboard and number 2 in the training room. So far we're unscathed and that's certainly a win also now a days.

A lot of empty seats in Pittsburgh. I love it.

Going to hear a lot of talk about complimentary football after this game and for once It won't make me angry.

How does a guy that big sneak behind Milano.
