That series of plays was more like the Josh we know and love.

Seriously?
I do not want Allen running.
ONLY if critical.
Find an RB!
Josh is far better making up a run play rather than doing so by design.

Beasley was playing on a broken leg and diggs was playing with a torn oblique in the playoffs last year...not to mention the chiefs dbs were allowed to hold whoever they wanted as long as they weren't on tom bradys team lol
That was my favourite yet most infuriating Superbowl in quite a while. Hilarious with the constant holding calls against the Chiefs but where was that before?

Get back in the shotgun, spread them out, and let’s see a Singletary run or two.
Agreed, we can't rely on Allen's arm when he's not got his eye in. We need to switch things up.

Ahh... you are one of those who thinks that an oline should not give more than a second's worth of time against a 4-man rush.... ok
Yeah, fair dues. Allen is the problem WITH the O-line rather than NOT the O-Line. They should have protected him better but... yeesh.

Yeah an unblocked TJ Watt is so easy to handle
So protect the ball - him running around with the ball at his side, what's going to happen next?

Oline getting man handled and needs to give Allen a bit more time
Rubbish - Allen is the problem; not the O-Line. How the feck can he be on that much money and can't protect the ball???

Everyone who says "Never change, Josh Allen" should include an "except for the way you hold the ball while running."
Or, going off today, how he throws the ball as well.
For the most part he's costing us the game at the moment.

Can we play in an empty stadium? Josh looked far better without fans.

You should say the Steelers are playing competitively not saying Josh is playing bad. Make no mistake they are a good team, well coached, and won't roll over easily.
But Josh's issues are of his own making, not the Steelers - like that float ball when he should have launched it.

What Bill got hurt early? I’m watching at Dave & Busters and can’t hear sh**
McKenzie but he's back in play.

Josh is really off at the moment. 😕

Hello everyone. Don't know where the off season has gone!
Come on Josh, settle down...

Then, as controversial as it may be, I’d say withdraw all media commitments. The Euros are starting across Europe in due course yet the managers and players aren’t being consistently pestered about whether they’ve been vaccinated - the questions are sport based. Whether it’s Beane, McDermott, Allen, Beasley - they’re there to try and win a Super Bowl, not br a social conscience.
I think vaccinations are important but McDermott is right - lecturing and nagging will get nowhere in convincing those who have understandable doubts about getting it. Nor will asking the same question at every opportunity.

This might be unpopular but my concern is our actions within free agency and the draft have, for this year, resulted in us seemingly standing still. Of course this is a projection and maybe Rousseau and Basham will perform HoFs from the off and give us an edge (pun intended), but it feels like we’re looking into the longer term rather than what happens this year which might bite us in the shorter term. The Browns and The Dolphins had better positions in the draft so should have the upper hand in that regard but the Chiefs?
We’ll see what happens but am I as confident of making the Championship game (let alone the Super Bowl) now compared to before the draft? No, not at this moment.

True... but if you are a fan of another team, do you join that teams message board to pile it on ... particularly given the history the year before with the Mahomes trade?
No, I agree, not for that specific reason. Even with Josh being so good now that trade is still looking like a very silly move.I’d give the trade a C. Decent enough but I don’t like that we double dipped from the off and would have preferred JOK over Rousseau at 30 and Gowan over Wildgoose at 213. Have doubts over Doyle but love Basham, Brown, Hamlin and Stevenson. Anderson is a seventh pick so not invested at this stage. Hopefully they will all come good for us though; they have the potential to.

To be fair, you ridiculed the Allen pick initially but as I have said before you have changed your tune and I think you have come to respect him...Also appreciate your knowledge and that you have a good sense of humour unlike a lot of other people hanging out here ...I do think though that you subtlety have been trying to troll us with your mock drafts... maybe we should take it as a compliment that you are doing it here and not elsewhere I guess...
To be fair, read the worst take thread - a lot of people loathed the Josh Allen pick at the time. -

49ers weren’t an option. Broncos with Rodgers wouldn’t get past KC or Buffalo. Their D stinks. Their running game was 13th last year. Raiders are not even close.
49ers contacted the Packers prior to the draft to query if they were willing to trade - due to the rumours probably number three, a punch of other picks and Garoppolo. They were an option but not now.The weaknesses of the Raiders and Broncos would be the huge risk of moving into the AFC; it’s the toughest conference between the two by far.

Where else is going to go and get back to a Conference Championship Game this year?
Rodgers apparently previously stated he’d want a move to the 49ers, Broncos or the Raiders. I would suggest the first option would be off the table after the Lance pick but the latter two could be possibilities. The Broncos have a decent roster but lack of strength when it comes to the QB; it wouldn’t be easy but with a bit of luck I think they could make the Championship game. They would certainly be competitive and the Broncos would probably treat him the same way as the Bucs treated Brady - give him anything to help get the franchise over the line.-

The Packers could have drafted Winfield instead of Love at 26, which would have meant the Bucs would have been without him for both the season and the NFC Championship Game. How much of an impact would that switch have had on the outcome? No one knows, except more of an influence than Love had for sure.
One gripe from Rodgers appears to be the lack of communication with him, though. On NFL Network tonight the hosts asked Bruce Arians whether Tom Brady had been made aware of the plan to pick Kyle Trask at 64 - Arians made it clear he had been. This wasn’t a even a first round pick, let alone one where the front office traded up especially; this was at the end of the second.
I think Rodgers is a pain in the backside who can be very difficult to get on with but, rightly or wrongly, he feels let down by the Packers front office and does not want to work with them anymore. He’s basically said them or me but at the moment the front office are holding firm. I can see him retiring early just to get way rather than go back on his threats which, whatever you think of him, would be a shame for the game.

It looks like everyone's abandoned the draft room and left one person to choose the Browns pick.

My friend, I’ve got to hand it to you. Most draft buffs do not have the faintest clue in what they’re talking about, but you do. I went over the TBD Mock 1.0 and you were right on the money on just about everything. I value your opinion but I completely disagree. Our offense is elite, if we can bring up that defense a little bit I think we are going to make another deep push.
As said on the first page, I think we'll draft the BPA now - whether that's offense, defense or special teams.

I think they're making a lot of the Davis Mills pick; it's not as though Houston took him at one. Would you really want to go into the season with Tyrod Taylor and Ryan Finley as Back Ups?
-
Feel much better about our draft now than last night - maybe it's because I've had some sleep! Would be nice to trade up into the fourth but I'm not sure if it's really necessary.

I know it sounds stupid but I was almost happier with the incompletion than the TD - he saw he had little available and didn't try to force it.
