You can give him a dominant run game if you like.... but if his decision making on pass plays is as bad as tonight you could have Barry Sanders and Jim Brown behind him and we'd be going nowhere. 

 

We didn't lose tonight because we lacked a run game. Cook ran reasonably well. We lost because our Quarterback made terrible decisions throwing the football.

 

It's not all about the running game per se.  It's more about having a weapon that can be used in a variety of ways to take some of the responsibility off of Josh.  Cook could be that.

 

Of course, the play design and QB decision making is a factor.

Lol excuses for Mr. Hollywood.  Blame everyone else and his “support system”.  It’s a joke.  Pull his head out of his butt.

 

Man some of you are so lame. The guy dates an actress and suddenly he is too into hollywood and not into football. such a stupid line of thought.

[BillMafia716ix]

If he was any other QB on any other team, I would be calling him overrated but he’s our guy so I’ll support him. But I’m really tired of seeing Josh turn the ball over and being reckless with his body and the ball. It’s year 6 for him and still hasn’t learned. Josh hasn’t been the same since the GB game last year and I gave him the benefit of because of the injury but his play has definitely regressed.

I’m not calling for his head.  I’m calling for him to pull his head of where it currently resides.  Honestly I don’t think he will do it on his own.  He needs an intervention from coaches, team and maybe parents to forget the Hollywood crap until he has won something.

Can’t be long before companies start pulling him from their national commercials.  He ain’t that guy.

Allen looking skittish, like he did vs Steelers.

He’s good looking and has a fancy Hollywood girlfriend.  He’ll be fine.

The bailing clean pockets happened in that game too. I was thinking hopefully just pre-season he is taking zero risks of being hit.... but the same happened tonight.

He likes to hit when he is running, when he is sitting in the pocket and getting hit - he is not a fan of it...

Hopefully he can adapt to having a pocket again. He went a year without having one and now he doesn't seem to know what to do with it.

Yep. There might be some of that about it. He is dropping his eyes to the rush I think and that is a symptom of bad lines and ultimately on Brandon Beane.

he ain’t quick thinking enough to take the check down quickly.  He’d rather tuck it and run straight into a defensive lineman.  

[Ramza86]

Does Josh even watch film? How do you not see a safety exist the entire game?

[NoHuddleKelly12]

The Jets are to Allen what the Browns are to Burrow…

[Airseven]

The excuses would be a play-caller learning on the job, terrible OL, undersized and untested RB, and 1 good wideout.

 

Despite all that, no one implodes quite like Josh Allen. The guy is a basket case.

He can double date with poyer and Rachel 

[Boatdrinks]

No excuses , he lost the game and said as much. Very concerning going forward though, as it seems like he’s forgotten how to play football. 

[Mikie2times]

As somebody who has said Josh can’t read defenses, clearly I’m not one to jump to defend what we saw. That said, it was criminal to not use play action. The run game was working enough and Allen is one of the best in football off it. 

[BuffaloSol]

I love how all the Allen haters come out of the wood work the minute he has a really bad game. They all just want to be right. Patrick people in my opinion.

 

Yes Josh had a bad. 

 

Something is up for sure, I hope its nothing personal.

 

He was really trying to take those hits today.

Allen NEEDS to prepare better...  

 

 

Nah, much better to golf all offseason and shoot commercials and hang out with those beautiful people in hwood. 

[Franco_92]

In 5 career games at the NY Jets, Josh Allen has turned the ball over 12 times. Absolutely insane
