Allen Flopping

[Kingston Bills Fan]

I gotta say I hate it. I love Josh he’s an amazing QB that does not need to do this, it’s embarrassing. I was talking to my buddy who is an Eagles fan about this about 4 or 5 weeks ago. 
I hate it in hockey and in soccer, it’s the most embarrassing thing a great player can do. Once again Josh is GREAT, he’s gotta stop flopping when he’s hit, it’s a terrible look. 

Specially when he’s out there trucking guys and stiff arming when he’s running. He can’t fall like he was shot and flail on the ground looking for a call when he’s touched in the backfield.

I love it when we get 15.  I hate it afterwards when they show the replays

keep doing if they reward it.  Just win. 

 

You can be embarrassed at the parade.

[Buffalo716]

That's called gamesmanship

 

Just win baby 

[Andrew Son]

By any means necessary.

Matt Stafford says you can be embarrassing at the parade

[NoHuddleKelly12]

He doesn’t want to be the only one not doing it lol; that said, even a light tap from an NFL lineman prolly does sting a lot! 🤷🏼‍♂️

[Process]

Honestly don't care. Do what you got to do. If refs make a bad call it's on them. 

[strive_for_five_guy]

Aside from the gamesmanship element, is there any scientific evidence that falling that way is physical safer versus trying to fight it?

I think it's great. After seeing how effective it was for Brady to complain after every play, and Mahomes basically doing the same for however many years now, it's all part of the game. Gotta do what you can to tip things in your favor.

Don’t hit him late and he won’t flop. Simple.

[Blackbeard]

If he WASN'T doing it, i'd be pissed.

When he was young he took PLENTY of cheap shots and late hits.

No.

Considering Jerry got called for breathing on a qb, I figure Josh can do it another 30x and we're even.  

[JoshAllin]

I'd say it's perfectly fine, defenders are trying to sneak in a hit to get into Josh's head, Josh on the other hand is getting in their head saying if you sneak him then you're getting a penalty

[Matt_In_NH]

This is one thing I would change about him.  I agree with then OP.   I think they should make embellishing a penalty, it sucks in soccer and basketball and hockey.  It’s bush league.
