oh NOW he wants to "protect his QB"...

You assume he didn't talk to the refs during the game?

He's probably alluding to the OL situation.

You have to earn the right to “complain” to the refs and expect it to have an effect.

 

Thats the psychological or gamesmanship of the league/human condition.

 

 Certain players get certain calls based on who they are and what they have done.  Others need to do a little bit more work to earn that privilege.

 

That's crap.  If the league is intent on protecting QBs, it should apply to all equally.

pretty sure Brady started whining the minute he was in the league.  

 

And Allen has earned the right to complain about late hits, IMO.  He's in the freaking running for MVP.

Yeah, but it doesn’t.  Hence why phrases like “Home Field Advantage” exist and other things of that sort.

No McD spends the majority of his game time these days screaming at the refs.

 

See below.

Si...

Oliver got screwed while low hit on Allen was allowed (Brady rule) these officials are totally inconsistent from week to week .apparently they also are allowed to hit Allen out of bounds and after sliding

 

[pennstate10]

On the same play that Tre got hurt, there was a blatant hold on 97 by the left tackle. Began as a headlock and turned into a bear hug. 
 

I understand 5hat there is holding on every play, but if you’re only calling blatant holds, that was one to call.

I've seen opposing teams' QBs get RTP called in their favor.  Again in a league where protecting the QB is important, it should be applied equally.

No more than most other coaches.

I like a coach who expresses disdain on the field at the time. Take it to the point you almost get 15 yards against the coach.

 

Refs usually do better when they know the coach will call them on it on national TV at the time of the call.

this is a complete non sequitur

[Buffalo ill]

Most the "late hits" on qbs should require the ref to throw a pink flag.

[bigduke6]

im fine with less flags,  im not fine with blatant no calls on dirty or dangerous plays,  or plays that change the game.

 

call it consistent for both teams,  enforce rules that are designed to protect the players.  that no call going late and low on Josh on a passing play is the kind of bush league crap that makes people question the NFL.   Brady gets that call if somebody so much as passes gas within a five yard radius of him.   consistency is all we ask.    this season has been the worst when it comes to consistency.

Ah, you were projecting for the future.  Good one.

I’m not a fan of how protected QBs are, but by the rule book that should have been 15.  Also I’m happy to see McDermott advocating for his QB.  Might get a call sometime for that. 

[Pete]

How about when the guy head butted Josh and said something to him.  If you are going to call taunting, wtf?

[BADOLBILZ]

 

If Allen wants the roughing calls then he needs to swallow his pride and act like the hits are hurting him.

 

When he gets hit.......stay down for a minute.......get up with a limp.......act like his availability is in question if he takes another hit like that.

 

Then the hankees will follow.

 

I'm not advocating that.........but that's the only way a beast of a QB like Allen who intentionally puts his body on the line to make big plays is going to get them.

 

The rules are in place to protect the vulnerable...........if you don't act like one of them you won't get the calls.

 

 

[78thealltimegreat]

Allen isn’t in the “protected” status like some others are and Coach McDermott isn’t a complainer who rails on the refs and works them during a game…McDermotts approach is going to have to change cause Allen takes some hits that would knock other QBs out for the season

I’m not sure about that.

 

in 2019 and 2020, Allen almost perfected getting “cheap” roughing the passer calls.

 

He was masterful at, scrambling to his right, throwing the ball off-balance, and if a defender just put a hand on his shoulder pad, he was flinging himself to the ground and drawing the Roughing the Passer.

 

Its not pretty to say…

 

But

 

Allen is sort of a Flopper.  And a bad actor at that when he does it.

 

it had me laughing when the Saints defender talked to Allen face-to-face and suddenly Allen SNAPPED his head back like he just got a brick to the face.  😂 

 

Now…should some hits on him draw yellow?  ABSOLUTELY.

But again…some things working against Allen.

 

1.) He’s Big (like Cam Newton, Refs aren’t always bailing out the big ones.)

 

2.) He may have a little reputation as a Flopper.

 

3.) He has that “b*tc*ing” to the ref after every hit mentality that probably isn’t going over well.

 

At this point…he’s not working the refs particularly smart or effective.

 

 

 

 

 

is that really your interpretation - that Josh snapped his head back? ....really?

 

it was clearly the Saints D-lineman who was barking at Josh then head-butted JA with his face-mask........looks like you are distorting this episode to somehow suit your narrative.
