Did we not have 3 3 and outs? Remember the replays of beasley open and the overthrow to knox?

You mean that we could of started the game with simple throws for Allen?

Ok. He's not throwing picks. Let's see if he progresses to improve everything. (Not to be argumentative but the majority of the first half was the Allen of last year.)

Ok

Yes I usually do that's is accurate. In my opinion Daboll is an easier and trendy criticism. He should be critized but I think Allen gets more of a pass because he is popular. Your attitude comes across as just 'accept things the way they are.' No. I expect better.

I think he's a tottenham fan if I remember his picture correctly, can't be king as a spurs fan (sorry jrober!)

Sure. And this is a little bit too intellectual. More completions is never a bad thing. You are going to advance across the field. With that way of thinking you can never know if a missed endzone throw would have made a difference to a game if it was completed. The missed throw to knox in the endzone was an example of alot that happens with Allen. Its not rocket science to think you are better of in the grand scheme of things for throwing and catching that for a touchdown. How is it a better question? It's another good question! That's the problem I've got, they can both be true

Maybe it's partly the different emotions people feel when watching him play. Annoyed, elated etc

It's natural to ask the question 'would this result be different if those open receivers were hit.'

I dont think mcdermott is as outside the box as this.

This is true aswell. The first down runs were annoying

Yes and I genuinely agree with a lot of what Nextmanup says. I just read it as telling the truth. Maybe we are prophets ??

It's true mate. On both counts

Need to sort out what's going on with him mentally. That's affecting his play. Early in games if you give him two stud WRs he still wouldn't hit them.

Thing is, It doesn't matter if your ceiling is sky high if you are going to play large chunks of the game like your very low basement.

Its not really about turning back time of course. It's a discussion about what is holding this team back by comparing to other teams.

'But he also made throws I don't know if other QBs could make, like that Brown TD pass falling backwards with defenders in his face.' Yes. We know this, Allen is exciting. The truth is he is not making the easy throws and we are held back by this. Constant 3 and outs in the first half cost us. He plays overwhelmed and misses everything easy in the first half. These things have to be acknowledged. Yes we are 10-5 but look at the QBs who have beaten the patriots this season. Mahomes, Watson, Jackson. We needed a performance like that to help towards beating the Pats. When he started to connect Shock HORROR we were in the lead. I can see where we could be with a better QB, sorry. Haha Of course! Like I say, I can see where we would be with a better QB. Just imagine 10 more completions in that game.

It's quite simple really. Just look at all the plays that are left on the field by allen. Watch the Allen presser. He admits to being jittery. Swap QBs and we win the game.

I think the fans turned out because Allen completed a deep ball.

This is the first time I've gone to playcalling but the runs on first down were predictable. Almost like they said we are going to do this on first down continually and better execute. I saw a Playaction stat about Allen somewhere that said his stats were alot better on playaction than otherwise. I thought that could of really worked on some first downs. I'd like to think they are saving that but don't think they are that advanced a staff to be saving gameplans.

You win or you dont. General stuff I've heard is that the Pats are in decline, brady's not the same. Beat them then.

I never really thought of it like that. Fair point

It works when you are better than the team, Against the jets, titans, giants. When you are playing a team that is better is when this comes back to bite.

That's awesome.

Coach looked out of his depth last season, now they look unreal
