Josh Allen….detached.

[Ramza86]

It does look weird....but then I see it with almost every other QB on the bench.

 

So I think it isnt at rare as we think.

Thinking of the one that got away. We need to get josh back with his ex

He hasn’t been the same since they broke up. 

[Drew21PA]

Could be just be bored and annoyed like the rest of us with the offense performance and game plan?

 

maybe he likes to run maybe he likes going off script

[Success]

I'm more persuaded by how he looks breaking 3 tackles in the backfield and getting the ball downfield than in his facial expression on the sideline.

A main concept they've drummed into Allen this year is "don't get hurt." That's a passive concept like "prevent defense" and "playing not to lose" and these ideas never work.

 

Btw, I think Diggs is gone next year.

 

 

What do you think their plan is to work around the $31 million dead cap if he’s moved next year?

Nothing is wrong with him. I just don’t think he can believe he plays with the crap he does . Gabe Davis 1 catch 6 yards 🙄

He has no damn support from these dumba ss coaches who for 5+ years have insisted on emphasizing defense. No #2 wr, No OL, No TE's, No run game. I'd be disillusioned too .

[DuckyBoys]

I think he's on meds

Dunno. Do they still make plans?

…and today?

If your point is that the something that has changed is that he’s learning to better manage his emotions on the sideline, I can buy that.  If you think that he just doesn’t care about winning because he isn’t rah rah on the sidelines 100% of the time, I think that’s a crock.  Were you saying that when he smashed the ball across the goal line yesterday to take the lead with 2 mins left in the game?

[Your Brown Eye]

He's exhausted from shooting commercials, give him a break

[JakeFrommStateFarm]

Why does he not look at the ipad while sitting on the sidelines ?

 

Doesn't he want to know what the pats are doing defensively ?

I kind of agree with ya. Josh has had to change his game because of lack of weapons, protection and McD stopping him from running. He’s taken the short passes and now the offense is starting to slow down again. Teams keep making adjustments and it’s all on him to keep changing when we don’t got the group around him to do it as a unit. 

[dpberr]

The entire team, exception Stefon Diggs, looks like that every game.  They all look sedated, coaches included.  Numerous examples of camera pans to McDermott staring out into space.

He looks the same to me...

You’ll disappear when he goes off for four tds in a game a game again. 

 

This isn’t about questioning Allen’s talent. We all know what he’s capable of. This is about wondering what’s wrong here…something has changed between the killer Josh to the current Josh.

if you and others believe we are dealing with the same Josh killer Attitude of a couple years ago, well, I respectfully disagree.

Not only many of us saying it Chris Simms had an entire segment on it last week so it’s a national deal now

But that’s not his strength. There was a play yesterday when the Pats come out showing one thing and then changed that mid snap count. The Bills got a delay of game penalty because Josh got confused. Josh Allen cannot be Payton Manning or even Joe Burrow. Those guys had elite level coaching from when they were in diapers. He’s Brett Favre who can run. Let him play that way.

 

I agree. The offense needs to be a bit more structured and deliberate in its play design and scheming and then adding those 2nd chance creation plays on top of it. Favre played his whole career in a highly structured west coast offense and then his playmaking was an added bonus.

I said to my wife he looked disinterested until the fourth quarter.  Detached might be a better descriptor.  Something is going on with him.

Added pressure to maintain being a top 3 NFL QB.
