What other points? The wheel route that would have been incomplete and gotten the WR absolutely killed?

Oh, so when you said Josh wasn’t taking the “short or underneath routes” all game, what you really meant was: “Josh didn’t throw one specific LONG and risky pass (that wasn’t short or underneath), and might have been intercepted because the safety was watching it the entire way and was just waiting and baiting and hoping Josh would throw it, and oh yeah, it was the last read in Josh’s progression and Josh ended up throwing it to an open receiver only 13 yards from the line of scrimmage, but the receiver was interfered with.” Now I get - just don’t believe what you write in black and white. 😂

Ahh, you’re talking about this play. Let me guess, you wanted Josh to throw a 3 yard pass to the crossers and make it 4th and 7? Hmm. Three yard shorter field goal. Totally see the wisdom!

Finally you give us an example of your claim. Let’s discuss the singular play you mention. On this play, Allen had ONE underneath option. It was James Cook, for a 3 yard pass. And Cook would have been cracked by two incoming LB’s. Thats what you are criticizing Allen over? Not throwing a 3 yard pass to Cook?

Josh played great. 70%+ completion, 300+ yards, 2 TD’s. He had the one bad INT and that’s about it. Those complaining about his play have an extra chromosome.

Thats quality humor right there.

From the moment video began to circulate on Sunday of Cowboys owner and G.M. Jerry Jones showing the New Jersey state bird to Jets fans at MetLife Stadium, it was obvious that the NFL would impose a financial punishment. And Jones was fined $250,000 — despite his laughable claim that he meant to give a thumb’s up instead. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/an-intentional-thrown-drink-isnt-much-more-expensive-than-an-inadvertent-middle-finger

Dude is just glass at this point

Chiefs have Lions next. They are facing 2-4 in the face.

I feel better

Word for word my thought pattern watching that. He was baiting.

It is. Which is why Allen did not throw it. You can try to word-soup it away, but its an INT waiting to happen if he throws that when you wanted it thrown. He only appears only because he scrambled and the defense shifted. Its also funny watching the people upset at him for throwing "home run" balls, now wanted him to throw an ultra risky endzone pass.

Absolutely not. That is an INT all day long and twice on Sunday if Allen throws at that point. The safety had plenty of time as did the up DB. Samuel becomes wide open as Allen moves to his right and the defense shifts to the right to follow him. Yes! I mentioned it earlier, but the Pats defensive end played the option perfectly as well. People blamed Allen for not handing it off, but the DE remained completely neutral and didn’t crash in either direction (toward Ty or Allen). That is a well coached team.

Because Samuel isn't open if Allen stays in the pocket. Samuel only appears open because Allen is scrambling to his right (where he is very dangerous), and that shifts the defense to the side the QB is scrambling to. Why? Because defenses know that QB’s don’t throw 60 yards across their body. So they let those WR’s run free.

Agreed. The pass was a normal pass that is caught for a first down if he’s not interfered with, The preceding moving around and scrambling, to me, is just normal Josh though. It’s okay - we are all wrong sometimes. Today is your turn.

A desperation pass? How much did you have to drink last night? A case? It was a bullet to an open WR that was only not caught because he was interfered with.

He threw to an open receiver on 3rd down!!!! In your mind, you want him to throw a 2-3 yard crosser instead of throwing to an open WR who is past the sticks on 3rd down???? Thank Goodness you are not one of our coaches.

This NEVER happened. 1st down: Screen pass to Shakir that he dropped 2nd down: Every receiver was downfield. Only Cook was close. It would have been a 3 yard pass where Cook gets crushed by the linebackers. 3rd down: Shakir and Knox were open on 3 yard crosser. You wanted him to throw that and make it 4th and 7?

Oh look the troll is back. Shocker after a loss. Allen was 71% for over 300 yards and 2 TD’s. He played damn well. One poor pass does not negate that.

No. Pass interference still exists when a QB is outside of the pocket… Shakir was 100% interfered with. Youre thinking of illegal contact. Two different things.

That throw you want him to make is just stupid. Irresponsible even. With significant likelihood of interception. To which you would have criticized him for if he threw it.

He played damn well. 71% passing, over 300 total yards and 2 TD’s. 30 other franchises would give anything for their QB to play as “poorly” as Allen did last night.

That’s what leaders do. They take blame, even when it’s not their fault.

Huh? Play-action or false handoffs on seeeps are never done with two hands. You’re thinking of RPO’s. Allen does this hundreds of times per year with no issues. Knox screwed this up because he NEVER does that and didn’t get his hands out of the way.

List the exact plays this happened. I want to see the exact plays you are speaking of. It’s easy to throw out blanket statements like this, but let’s break down these plays where she Always so easy to say with hindsight. Do you know how QB’s make decisions on read options? Hint; It’s not by seeing the future and knowing which option will work better. They are looking at the DE to see which way he crashes. Go towards the RB = QB keeps it. If he goes toward the QB = He gives to the RB. Thats how it is taught. On this play, the New England DE did an incredibly good job of staying neutral. He didn’t crash either way. Look at this image of when Allen is deciding: Because the DE stays neutral, Allen has a choice. 1) Hand it off and hope Ty beats him to the edge. 2) Trust the best player in the NFL (himself) to get the yardage. He trusted himself, which he should. He didn’t have a window into the future telling him which option would work better. He did what he was taught - read the DE. And on this play, the DE played it perfectly.
