This. Nothing is wrong with Josh. But a lot of what is wrong with the team has made Josh do uncharacteristic things. In the game day thread, people were bemoaning him leaving the pocket. I don’t know what these folks have been watching the last few weeks, but Allen has been trained to leave the pocket - or get wrecked. If he doesn’t leave the pocket early and a rusher gets through quickly (which is happening all the time now), play is dead. So he leaves early to try and buy time for his awful WR’s to get open. But then on the rare occasion where the line holds up, people are upset that he left the pocket. Hindsight is 20/20. Allen doesn’t have the benefit of rewind so he is hedging his bets: stay in the pocket and there is a good chance the play is dead, or leave the pocket and try to make something happen. Its what happens with any QB when you have a bad WR group and an o-line in a rough stretch. PS, we don’t have a single receiver who can consistently make sideline catches.

But Anarumo is a good coach

The Bengals made a really poor choice in letting Anarumo go

Well said.

Watch this but have a barf bag ready. 10 straight seconds of NFL wide receivers who can’t get open.

Then Mangold gets the kidney. Directed donations skip the waiting list.

Michael Pittman with an insane TD catch.

He was calling the defense in the second half of the Falcons game too.

Very sad. There is a long waitlist for all those in need of a kidney, but with Mangold being type O it was even worse.

I know it’s Carolina, but Bishop/Poyer combo looks better so far than Bishop/Rapp.

If I was Cook i’d be furious.

Really dislike those wr screens

Hoechjt is playing great

Myles Garrett just recorded his 4th sack today. Thats more than most defenders have in a season.

Why is Cook off the field now??

Dang, Patriots look really good.

Cook on pace for 300 yards.

Huge sack!!!

Banged Up Bills is saying if Oliver’s injury is distal, he is done for the year.

D-line is playing well.

Why is Cook not on the field? Wasn’t on the field on 3rd down last drive and also 1st down here. Did he tweak something?

If you say stupid things like Allen should do well with jags at WR because Tom Brady had “jags” who were great at getting open … yes, you’ll likely get flamed.

Plus, it worked. Only Allen gets discredited for doing something that worked 😂

He didn’t need to, but it worked. So to blame him for that is just ridiculous. Especially when the WR just simply didn’t catch the ball.
