I havent been around/allowed to post much to make conclusions about

 

 

I could see that

[RobbRiddick]

It's kind of like when my wife fakes a headache to get out of sex, I know I should feel bad but I'm kind of happy about it

[Goin Breakdown]

Funny I never noticed this and here I am not caring either. 

[Orlando Buffalo]

I definitely would prefer the officials simply do their job but since watching them allow Cam Newton get whacked mercilessly because he never flopped I am all for it. If the officials start to be competent I will hope the NFL does something about the flopping.

[JoshAllin]

The key is selling the late hits, if the WR's here were smart they'd sell all the missed PI's the refs missed

[Freak-O]

It’s one thing exaggerating when taking a late or dirty hit, as to alert the refs on what’s happening. Falling spectacularly to the ground from someone gently touching you while trying NOT to hit you is another. I’d really prefer it if he didn’t do that. I’d really prefer it if NO ONE did.

Allen also has a tendency to start a fight and then hide behind his linemen. 

 

he wasn't always this way

 

 

What??? The OL jumps to his defense based on instincts and protocol if he's getting into any skirmish,  as any OL should do 

[Dablitzkrieg]

I love it.  I also love it that the finger pointing to the ref is a split second after the flop plus 15 yards.  Ask LeBron.  All gamesmanship

I was just gonna say...receivers DO take a page. Any close contact for a ball, if it falls incomplete the WR is up and waving his arms looking for a flag. Every team. Every game. 

Yes. But a little extra theatrics when getting bumped on the sideline can’t hurt.

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

Hughes got flagged during a peak Brady era pats game for helping his own teammate up.

 

listen we have paid our dues on this sh*t. He’s on my team so I love it and think it’s pretty hilarious too. I’ll never apologize for it.  He’s getting yards however he can.

I strongly disagree.  I've seen plenty of times that he unnecessarily jumps at or pushes DLineman.

yeah but they might get tired of finishing his fights all the time 

I mean i played some d3 ball and high school, everey OL was protective of the QB , as they should.  They're bigger, stronger etc and protecting their guy. 

 

And idk about all these fights you speak of. I recall like 2 but you make it seem like it's everey week

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.

 

The thing is... almost every time he's "flopped" he has also been fouled.  Just because Allen flopped yesterday by pointing to his facemask and he wasn't hit in the facemask, Lawrence was called for a late hit, not hitting Allen in the face.  And it absolutely was a late hit.  He had time to pull back.

 

Allen may exaggerate the effect of these hits, but is it his fault he's a big dude who isn't impacted as much by these hits as smaller QBs?  Good on him to draw the attention of the refs.

He literally chest-bumped the smallest guy on the field, but ok

 

EDIT- and then he hugged him

 

 

 

 

Are there really small guys in the NFL?

he does, and then he hides behind his offensive lineman, that’s my point. He should cut out that crap with jumping at and pushing the opponent

But he never hides.  Maybe you are thinking of the Jags Josh Allen

I didn't realize he did that many and were that phony until this montage...😳

I love the montages.  I laugh every time

[Snowbowl]

I hated it when Bradiot did it. Love it when Josh gets the call. We got screwed for so many years by Tommy I’m glad to get some on our side. 

[Dablitzkrieg]

Every DE and DL being held embellishes a little.  Works both ways.  Part of the game

[Steptide]

Brady did it for 20 years and the refs never caught on so...
