this punt should be fun

if tua had not gotten hurt we'd have three more sacks at least. their o-line is bad.

enuf frosh josh already

After mitch leaves I'd like him as our backup. Always liked him.

nice read by josh

He hit the hole faster even if he didn't run faster.

good player contract year

Jones is a lot better than either one of those guys IMO. But its certainly true that the G-Men have been in a funk for years now.

Hopefully his long ball is getting better. If memory serves the Saunders overthrow wasn't terrible. I thought Saunders was maybe 1 and 1/2 strides away. He used to overthrow John Brown, who is a true burner, by 5 yards. EDIT: I have now seen Wiz's earlier post with pics and with which I agree.

As usual Simms breakdown is very instructive. I get that Steeler's disguised their coverage to confuse Allen but don't defences disguise their coverages routinely in an effort to confuse or deceive the QB and hasn't Allen shown that he is capable of making post snap reads? Sounds like Simms is saying that Pittsburg's understanding of the NE O is so deep that finding the open receiver was especially difficult involving additional levels of complexity, presenting Allen with something of a shell game. While all QBs miss open receivers at times, and I haven't gone back to check the tape, but I don't myself recall Allen passing up lots of open receivers underneath. I though Steelers coverage was pretty much good at all levels. Kudos to them. Maybe Brady could counter with a good ground game. Not sure we are able to do that effectively. Josh Allen is still of course a young, inexperienced QB but he's smart. He will be a better QB by the end of the year than he is now.

moss pass blocks too

can only be mechanics so rust

Gabe yes but heck of a throw

Wyoming even

Only a matter of time. Wont be long.

They have led the League in sacks last 4 years I think

While never a running QB Ben was much more mobile when he was younger. That is obvious. But even when younger and faster he was never in Allen's class as a runner. Not even close. He could always take a big hit though and probably still can.

Mongo would do some badass thing for sure.

Agree. Imagine the bench clearing baseball fight that would erupt if they cheapshotted Josh lol.

I've never ever seen Ben run like Josh either. If he could he'd maybe run more often.

Three points would have been more than enuf if the Cowboys had a kicker.

I get the Brady love but I dont exactly share it. I can't think of another player who has made better or more productive use of his particular skill set/talents. And to be clear his talent is obviously considerable and such as to place him without doubt amongst the best ever. He was also an outstanding player and a proven winner in college and him lasting into the sixth round of the draft was ridiculous. But football is a team sport and I cant think either of another player who benefitted more from his association with a great organization top to bottom throughout his tenure in NE, great coaches, players. Those championships belong more to the organization than just to Brady himself. If I were starting a dream team from scratch today even just looking at currently active players and even assuming a Tom Brady at the peak of his powers, there is no way he would be my choice for QB. I'd pick Josh, Pat, AR ahead of him. If the GOAT just means the most successful while still being a great player then sure. Clearly he's not the most talented even just looking at QBs.

At the end of the 2021 season Allen will be a better, possibly much better QB, than he was at the end of the 2020 season. So no. Bills O will be a DC's nightmare. Just too many options for the man with the golden arm.

He’s got wheels but I don’t know that he’s ever broken a tackle. I’d stick with Breida.

He made the right decision no doubt. Apparently Rosen had a good half yesterday playing with the scrubs. In the minds of some he has already secured his position as Ryan’s backup. Maybe he can play in that offence, he’s sort of like a (much) Iesser version of Ryan as QB types go. I was looking forward to checking this game out but it wasn’t on offer in my part of the world.
