    Never thought I'd see a Josh Allen lead team on the outside looking in

    Allen has a part in this too. Like at the garbage receivers Mahomes has. They are both getting paid where they aren’t going to be surrounded by all pros at every position. They are going to have to carry their teams at times. 
     

    Allen, while very low on the list of problems, needs to make better decisions and I don’t what has happened to his deep ball. But he has exactly been clean this year. He needs to be better

    And the offensive production has been about the same.

     

    The difference is, take away Chris Jones and half the rest of KC's defensive starters and see how they are doing?  Unfortunately the injury bug has bit too many of our best players and they all happen to be on the same unit.  Extreme bad luck that is nearly impossible to overcome.

    I said it in the GDT but at the moment Joe Burrow pre-snap is streets ahead of Allen. That they are rated so closely shows you how mecurial Josh Allen can be once the ball is snapped. But that is a hard way to live in the NFL. I think maybe a different OC could help him with that. Simplify some of what he is reading, maybe Daboll was better at that. But Josh has gotta start winning a few snaps before the ball is in play.

    It's amazingly frustrating because he has all the tools, including intelligence.  But he seems hell bent on relying on his physical gifts and not putting the work in to win the mental side.

    Can't wait the see the system the next coordinator installs for Josh not to operate!

     

    Might as well not have a coordinator.   Just let Josh draw them up in the dirt so he can scramble around off schedule and throw rockets, which is seemingly the only time he is truly special.

     

    Unfortunately we are going nowhere with a guy who doesn't grind like the greats to be in a position to win with his mind and actually operate an offense on-schedule.  Winning with pure athleticism isn't the formula at QB.  And at this point, unfortunately, I don't see Josh turning into Mr. tape grinder.

     

    But, everyone else will take the fall because there are no other options beyond trying to catch lightning in a bottle around our $250M man.  I can't believe this is where we are.

    Are you referring to his scrambling?

    With all due respect, Burrow has been an escape artist since he entered the league.  That is his game and why we sucked so bad early on.  His calf injury was non-contact, no one was within 15 yards of him.   I'm not sure what more to say, maybe watch some highlights from previous years or something?

    Scrambling is one thing, but it seemed like the guy thought he was Jerome Bettis or something out there finishing runs.  Not that we haven't had that same issue with Allen.

    Yes he was.  We could not, and did not, run any plays under center, he still couldnt move much at all, our playbook was so limited.  We are all astounded (and annoyed) at how much a stupid calf strain can impact a QB, especially after watching Allen throw 80 yarders with his cannon ripped up on the inside last year. 

    For finally being healthy your boy did not seem to play very smart last week.  Almost like he was hunting for a new injury.

    I hope to get at least one more.  I would be fine with Settle and Poona inactive or even cut.

    Hope it's Suh.  Ioannidis fits the mold of what we usually have- smaller and a penetrator.  We have enough of those.  We need beef, I'm tired of being pushed around up front.
