Coleman shows up Allen on first TD target

[BillnutinHouston]

Anyone else notice, after Allen's first target to Coleman in the EZ falls incomplete (at exactly 8:20 of the 1st quarter), Coleman looks back in Allen's direction, points upward and makes (what I interpreted as) a "throw it higher next time" gesture?

 

I was fine with his idea and agree with him, BUT to make that gesture to Allen in front of the home crowd was completely uncalled for and totally unearned at this point in his career.  

 

I interpreted this as an arrogant, unaccomplished rookie trying to show up the MVP frontrunner in front of the home crowd, and i don't like it one bit.  

 

Am i alone in this opinion or are there different interpretations out there?  

[RobbRiddick]

This should go down well

[PromoTheRobot]

Allen took his advice, didn't he.

[gobills404]

This has to be bait

[Big Turk]

What was wrong with it? He simply said to throw it higher.

 

My God...some people make it obvious they never played competitive sports before.

I love the inclusion of “in front of the home crowd” as if it’s a tense dinner with the in laws or something.

I am ready for this thread…

I was told Keon got 15 wet willies after the game as penance.

Wasn't there a similar discussion after the failed fade in Seattle followed by a TD fade on the other side?

 

Bonkers take imo, OP.

Posting on this board isn’t a competitive sport?  Go to your room and think about that mister.

People find the weirdest things to make issues out of….

If it was Phil McConkey who did this, all would be okay with the world … well, in Houston, anyway.

I saw it, it’s whatever, but ya i wouldn’t do that. Honestly you can argue it’s a good thing that players feel comfortable enough to communicate like that. But ya just say something in the huddle or the sideline.

It doesn't necessarily mean that he was showing up Josh by pointing up.

 

Maybe he was just blaming God for the drop

pretty sure they locked him in a utility closet with an xavier worthy highlight reel playing on a loop

Mountain out of a mole hill. These communications happen constantly. NBD
