He does. So does Dawkins.

I saw that catch. It was absolutely insane. Meanwhile we don’t even have a WR that can make a routine sideline catch.

You’re right. But you’re also talking to someone who thinks Allen should make the less than desirable WR room blossom because Tom Brady once won a SB with Chris Hogan (ignoring the greatest TE of all time, a top 10 slot receiver ever and the greatest HC of all time).

I still don’t understand what Beane was thinking. Hollins and Allen had chemistry. And he played special teams! And NE only gave him around a mill more than we paid him last year. I just don’t get it.

That was my impression too. He rushed the throw because he couldn’t believe a WR was actually running free.

This is the type of stuff that gets lost in the shuffle. Especially when we lose. Allen has made some remarkable throws the past 3 weeks that would be top 10 Sportscenter plays if we had WR’s who could catch them. But since they didn’t, fans forget about them and it’s “what’s wrong with Josh”. Here is what’s wrong with Josh: How many teams are Keon Coleman, Tyrell Shavers and Elijah Moore starting for - or playing 50% of the snaps - except for us?

He’s a WR who can’t run fast and also can’t body people and also can’t do back shoulder fades. Why is he even on the field at this point?

I think we will know more around 7:30pm next Sunday.

I mentioned that exact play during the game. 11 seconds and not a single receiving option can get open.

Almost like those 2 things are correlated. Agree with your thoughts on him getting hit. Seems to help. Daboll would get him hit early.

Some of you say the most ridiculous things. Brady had the greatest TE of all time, and Wes Welker (top 10 slot WR all time), and Julian Edelman (top 15 slot WR all time), on 3 of his last 4 Super Bowls and he had Mike Evans (all-pro), and Chris Godwin (pro-bowler) and Gronk (GOAT TE), on his last Super Bowl. Yeah… Give Allen the greatest TE to ever play and two of the best slot guys to ever do it and yeah he is going to crush it. We saw what Allen did with Beasley. Not to mention the greatest Head Coach of all time and a top OC.

Yep. Also, my favorite posts are where someone will find a single snapshot of time, a 0.0001 second portion of a play where a receiver briefly flashes open and Allen is in a completely different portion of his progression… but they will scream “look! he had a guy open” 🤦🏻‍♂️

That, and he would have been wrecked by the LB standing behind him. Likely a pass break up.

How in the world did Jonnu drop that? He had 2 arms fully on the ball.

When will teams learn not to run a fade? They are 50/50 at best.

Very frustrating

How do the refs miss an Offside that blatant!?!?

Always has been

Green Bay has not impressed me Metcalf bodied that DB

Well said.

yep. look at this nonsense

You 100% were. No one says “Tom Brady won with Chris Hogan but Josh can’t win with these guys?” (para) as a legitimate criticism. It was a big glass of haterade.

This. Nothing is wrong with Josh. But a lot of what is wrong with the team has made Josh do uncharacteristic things. In the game day thread, people were bemoaning him leaving the pocket. I don’t know what these folks have been watching the last few weeks, but Allen has been trained to leave the pocket - or get wrecked. If he doesn’t leave the pocket early and a rusher gets through quickly (which is happening all the time now), play is dead. So he leaves early to try and buy time for his awful WR’s to get open. But then on the rare occasion where the line holds up, people are upset that he left the pocket. Hindsight is 20/20. Allen doesn’t have the benefit of rewind so he is hedging his bets: stay in the pocket and there is a good chance the play is dead, or leave the pocket and try to make something happen. Its what happens with any QB when you have a bad WR group and an o-line in a rough stretch. PS, we don’t have a single receiver who can consistently make sideline catches.

But Anarumo is a good coach

The Bengals made a really poor choice in letting Anarumo go
