Because despite what Process, Gunner, etc believe, that throw would NOT have been easy, and there is a very good chance Knox does not get the first. That throw to the flat is one of our least successful throws.

No, he’s not. Stop.

Yeah the talk should be “why does he keep throwing to Gabe”. The first throw, it was a miscommunication on an option route. Gabe and Josh are never on the same page. Second throw, Gabe trips in the endzone.

Nothing good comes from throwing to Gabe. Just is what it is.

I think we are at the point where we can’t allow Davis to have option routes. Just have him run a specific route for each play. A lot of INT’s or misses happen when Allen interprets the route option different than Davis.

Agreed, and that’s honestly just the latest good decision. He is a really good coach and pulls no punches. I respect that. I won’t be surprised if Denver is a playoff team next year.

Payton had a great season. - Won 7 of their final 11 games. - Took the Broncos offense from 16.9ppg last season to 21.4 with Payton. - Took the Broncos defense from 26th in NFL (points) last season to 14th this season The Broncos were horrible last season and Payton made them respectable in 1 offseason. Great job (and no, I don’t desire him in Buffalo). Anyone laughing at what Payton did in Denver over the past 10 months is just being ignorant.

Due to his unusual last name, some have changed it in tweets to “Naysayer”.

Not this again.

Good call. I didn’t see it happening but very happy that it is!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS. Now go win the division in Miami!

I HATEEE defensive timeouts in that situation. Youre giving your opponent time to come up with a play too!!!

I say keep the divisions and allow the division winner to get into the playoffs, but make the seeding just based on record. Aka, a division winner could be the 7th seed even.

It was always division title or bust.

I could see this type of performance, plus multiple weeks off, come back to bite them in the butt.

Yes. But as stated prior, while it’s a bit more complicated than that, it’s a good metric because it’s a fair comparison across all teams using the same qualifiers and grading.

1) QB’s don’t have 180 degree field vision. They can’t see everything at one time. Not Brady. Not Kelly. Not Mahomes. Not anyone. 2) Allen was not at that point in his progression. He saw Diggs, his first read, have an open look. But by the time Diggs uncovered, three defenders were about to demolish Allen. 3) For both of these reasons, and many more, Allen did not look to Kincaid. You can find “open” receivers for every QB. But the context matters.

Perfectly said!

The video reviewer actually says something along the lines of “on second thought, this is a good play by the Patriots. It’s a tough minus (for Allen)”. Even he admits it’s horse crap to blame Allen for it, but he doesn’t remove it from the film… Another from the video. Josh didn’t hit Diggs 25 yards down field, on the run, with two defenders about to pummel him. It was a scramble drill and THIS was used as an example of Allen missing an open guy. The analysis in the video was a joke. I get that i’m an Allen homer but my goodness some of the stuff he is getting blamed for is wild.

For those who don’t care to watch (probably a good idea), this is one of the first plays they use to demonstrate that Allen missed open receivers. Allen has three defenders in his face and he is blamed for not hitting Diggs. This is an INT waiting to happen as that defensive back has a great opportunity to jump the pass from his position. This is the quality of analysis. PS, yes, there were a few missed receivers in this game, but context always matters (pressure, where Allen is within his reads and progressions, etc).

I don’t agree because the numbers just don’t back it up. Allen’s output outside the pocket is FAR better than in, and this has been the case his entire career. Entire teams defensive philosophies have been to keep him IN the pocket. The Dolphins defensive players talked about this last year. Allen is 8th in the NFL (according to PFF) under pressure this year.

3? Levis came in for injured Tannehill. Stick came in for injured Herbert. Bagent came in for injured Fields. Minshew came in for an injury. Flacco came in for an injured Watson. Browning came in for an injury Burrow. Siemian came in for injured Wilson (and then kept the job). Zappe is also a backup, though he came in not due to injury but rather poor play, and Howell was benched. There are 6 starting QB’s below Allen. Mahomes, Fields, Bryce, Herbert, Murray, Pickett. So, 26th instead of 27th?

I had just listened to that. Cossel said he leaves the pocket prematurely sometimes, but he also said if you want to take that away from him, you’re going to be taking away some of the big jaw-dropping plays he does as well. So you have to find that balance. Because staying in the pocket a half second longer, may mean you HAVE to throw from that pocket, as the escape lanes may be gone after you wait.
