Josh Allen Complaints

[george c]

Is just me who feels this way, or do others feel that Josh is complaining to the refs a little too much when he is hit?

The Monday night game was not a good look for Josh. The complaints were on every hit, and at some point, the refs may not give him a roughing call when he really deserves it.

I dunno, maybe he's imitating Brady and forgot he plays for the wrong team.

He's certainly complaining too much for the refs about not getting Offside calls when he shouldn't actually be getting them. He lets the play get away from him on those plays and they always end up badly.

It doesn’t matter if he complains or not…don’t you know the refs and the NFL have it out for the Bills?  At least that is what the tin foil hat wearing people here will tell you…especially when the Bills lose.

Josh Allen deserves a ***** flag when Josh Allen asks for a ***** flag

IT JUST YOU.

 

It doesnt hurt to complain to the Refs.

[Gugny]

The more complaining and flopping we can do, the better.

 

Sometimes it works; often times it doesn't.  When it works, it helps.  When it doesn't, there's no negative impact.

Unless you're Jerry Hughes, but now he's too old and beat up for it to matter. Damn, I resemble that.

He complains too much. 

 

But it's not a big deal.

Until you get a reputation as a guy that flops and begs for flags and the refs no longer give you the benefit of the doubt. 

 

And it's not just Allen. It's most QBs in the NFL, it's every WR looking for PI on a routine incomplete.

This message board really sucks right now 

[SCBills]

He should absolutely complain... that Judon hit is a flag 95% of the time this year.  

 

But for the love of God, STOP TRYING TO DRAW DEFENSES OFFSIDE

 

Either we jump, or they jump and we think it's a free play when it's not.

I hadn't noticed.  He can see guys jump Offside, and twice has been hurt by the missed calls.  I don't see how these calls are missed.  When I can see it 800 miles away, live on t.v., I think the officials should see it too.  However, if he thinks he has a free play, he should try and put the ball in a catchable position.  His throw to Knox was way off.

 

If any player thinks he's right, he has the right to protest.

Because guys moved but didn't actually jump. In both the Miami and NE games, guys shifted but never crossed.

I don't see that kind of retaliation happening against QBs and WRs, though.

Star qbs do that

Working the refs is a long-standing QB tactic

Agreed. My biggest complaint with soccer is the flopping and acting like you were shot 7 times over. But my understanding is it is just because refs buy into these moves so the players do it until it doesn't work.

Same concept here and any player not working it is failing in my eyes.

First two this season were bad.  The last 2 including Monday night the defender was clearly in the neutral zone.  Free play.  I feel like the refs are being more stingy with it when Buffalo led the league last year.

I personally didn't think the player had crossed. Regardless, it was hardly an easy one to call and you've gotta play like the call never happened. Which would be smart anyway because he's failed on all of his hard counts this season and should assume they're not going to work. That throw he made was a lazy high throw basically 10 yards behind the receiver who was covered. Didn't even try to read the field on that play.
