Yes and no. Criticism based on actual observation is one thing. Like the Jets game last year when Josh stunk. Many including myself said so at the time. Notably Josh stood up and took the blame. But when people take the word of a columnist who admitted lying about Diggs, they turns around and questions Allen’s work ethic, that’s different. When people deliberately take words out of context to denigrate Allen, that’s different. That is simply trying to be negative for the sake of being negative. That’s not actual critical debate and discussion.

This is crap. Unadulterated crap.

I think you’ll see Rapp as a 6th DB a lot of the game.

I used it merely as a tag, nothing more or less.

Really? He exceeded powers granted to him by the Constitution. So done now, thanks for trying to hijack the thread.

In my opinion yes. He tried to subvert the Constitution. He did a lot of good in foreign policy but his paranoia did him in.

I know. I was trying to agree with you. Ralph made us a major league city and Terry kept it that way.

I was in college during Watergate. Weird times to be sure, but back then when push came to shove people put the country first.

No one is saying Allen is immune to criticism. He needs to cut down on interceptions as an example. But to criticize him based on nebulous writings from a guy who admitted he lied about Diggs, or to deliberately misconstrue what is said in interviews to somehow say Allen is out of shape or lazy, is ridiculous.

Thank you for this. And look at the thread on Dorsey; there it is argued working your butt off doesn’t guarantee anything. Audible sigh...

I think they win their division. I don’t see Purdue being effective for the Niners over an entire season. And I don’t think the Eagles repeat trying to get used to new coordinators on both sides of the ball.

Yes. The Seahawks. It breaks my heart that you disagree.

But I have them winning the Lombardi. To amplify we tie with the Jets at 10-7 but they win the tie break. But we then beat the Bengals for the AFC and the Seahawks for the Lombardi.

10 and the wildcard

Oh yeah

Sorry, we beat Bengals!

AFC division champs: Jets: 11-6 Steelers: 10-7 Jags: 11-6 Chiefs: 12-5 Wild card: Bills (11-6), Bengals (10-7), Fish (10-7) Playoffs: Bills beat Steelers, Jags beat Fish, Bengals beat Jets Bills beat Jags, Bengals beat Chiefs Bills beat Bengals NFC division champs: Eagles (12-5), Lions (10-7), Saints (8-9), Seahawks (10-7) Wlidcard: Niners (10-7), Cowboys (10-7), Giants (9-8) Niners beat Saints, Seahawks beat Giants, Lions beat Cowboys Eagles beat Cowboys, Seahawks beat Niners Seahawks beat Eagles Super Bowl: Bills beat Seahawks

My apologies

Not upset. I just can’t understand the motivation

So you say you have no idea what players do in the off-season, then proceed to discuss and criticize what Allen does in the off-season. Thanks for verifying what I put in the opening post. I’m good thanks!

They are saying we haven’t gotten to a Super Bowl because our defensive coaching has let the opposition score too much, whereas Belichick’s teams did not. You really are clueless.

Who did?

He did not admit what you are saying. What the hell is wrong with you? Belichick us a defensive coach? My God. Go back and watch our first Super Bowl. What a moron.

I am saying I do not understand it. I do not understand why people will buy into any idiot Internet comment to be negative about a team that has been in the playiffs for several years. I don’t understand why people believe their star QB doesn’t work hard enough based on a columnist who the same day said everything he said about Diggs was just made up. Explain to me the rationale behind such thought.

No. When people choose to believe rumor mongers like Whitlock and criticize Allen because of it, that is absurd.
