Yes, don't want to get it confused with the purity of the pro game

Honestly, the fact that Josh has been healthy this whole time puts us on the fortunate side of this conversation

This thread over time

We don't win man situations and we aren't a physical offense. What level of physicality we do have is a result of threatening in the air which is a smaller threat in goal to go. We also didn't have any larger possession WR's like Coleman for many of those time frames. No, I don't consider Gabe "larger possession".

More extensive opinions than I was thinking.

Depth is usually decent but we have some risk to run into the WTF moments like LB last year. Imagine if we have injuries to a couple WR's this year?

I thought I saw that before. 2:19 mark

We have a needy x vibe. Just look at the Steph threads. It's ok, it's not you, its me.

What other playoff games has he missed?

Things people haven't said before

He has been reasonably healthy but sure, right now I would say he is very high risk.

We have undersized everything. Plenty of players with recent major injuries or injury history. When we have 3-4 starters on defense out by the middle of the season it's not bad luck, it's what should be expected.

JJ McCarthy or even Kurt Cousins for that matter should not influence JJ's draft slot. He's just too good.

He had a massive 2016 with UNC who was in the top 20 all year. Size and athleticism. He was a consensus top 5 pick and wouldn't have lasted if the Bears past. Mahomes and Watson didn't have the same pedigree coming out. It happens....

I bet his friends sleep with lots of women

Thank god we have a thread telling everybody not to overreact in a sarcastic way.

Cool story bra

1 in a row, but that can become 12 by 2028

I guess we are the only team that has injuries.

MVP voters will really give a QB a hard look when they have a 3 to 1 TD/INT ratio or better not including rushing TD's. People can dislike like that comment but nobody who has won the MVP in the modern era at QB had anything lower than a 3 to 1 ratio. Josh was at that mark once in 2020 and that was the closest year he had to the MVP. I expect that season in 2023 would have done it. 2023 - 3.42 Jackson Allen 1.61 2022- 3.42 - Mahomes Allen 2.67 2021- 9.25 - Rogers Allen 2.4 2020- 9.60 - Rogers Allen 3.70 2019- 6.00 - Jackson Allen 2.22

Bengals had a 7 point or greater lead for nearly the entire 60 minutes. We answered the first drive, that was all the back and forth it was. I have no question the Bengals are the worst match up we have. They can play physical and run the ball. Then Burrow is very accurate and perfectly fine picking apart our zone. They hold the ball against us and wear us down. McD has no clue how to manage them. Burrow is something like 17 for 17 for 180 yards and 3 TD’s on opening drives. It reminds me of the Colts matchups a couple years ago.

They have 3 TD’s on opening drives in three separate games with zero incompletions. They have held the ball for just shy of 70 minutes across the two games that finished. Burrow is 54 for 80, 590 yards, 4 TD. They led by 14 with under 4 minutes last year. Currently they own us. To write that off as Buffalo just now showing up is grossly inaccurate.

This concept is funny to me as I have similarities to Josh and have been asked before to be more serious, more of a traditional team leader because I work hard. But the bottom line is it’s not who I am. It doesn’t work and it’s better for those around me to be something real than something fake. Authenticity is an important part of leadership. This is who Allen is. not something he is going to grow out of. It’s not being a class clown, he has a playfulness to him and now he goes about life and sure, it looks youthful but its not immaturity. He will be a 60 year old man and still be this way. Other players on the team need to fill whatever void this has in our leadership circle. What Allen can fill is keeping our team on track when the train is off the tracks. Keeping the mood light. All of which matters for balance. He will also feel more comfortable in leadership situations with Diggs off the team. Not a knock to Diggs but the way Josh leads, he’s not going to grab it by the horns but as he feels more like he’s earned it, he deserves to be in that place, he will turn it on more within the context of who he is.

I wouldn't be shocked if Hollins is a captain with the way people are speaking about him

This is what it's good for last year
