I actually don’t remember. Was he under pressure on those two throws? I took screenshots mid game.

This is not an Allen bashing thread. Please don’t turn it into one. This is a thread to talk about Allen’s tendency to underthrow this season. In this particular game, Diggs torched his defender twice, deep, and I believe that there is a good chance that both would have been TD’s if the pass hit him in stride. On both plays, Allen underthrew him, causing Diggs to stop running or slow down drastically. He has had a couple other underthrown deep passes this season - mostly on deep throws. I’m curious what you think is causing these underthrows: Do you think Allen is under-estimating how far he needs to throw it? Is it simply too far to throw? Is he not stepping into the passes? What are your thoughts? This was the INT (Diggs had several steps on the defender). And this was the deep completion to Diggs where no one covered him (he would have walked into the endzone if the ball hit him in stride).

Agreed.

I was going to ask you what you thought of our WR’s reaction to defensive leverage in this game. Sure seemed like from the broadcast that everyone outside of Diggs was in bad leverage situations and was part of the reason why the offense struggled in the first half.

Ridley last week: 2 receptions for 32 yards Ridley the previous week: 3 receptions for 40 yards Ridley the previous previous week: 2 receptions for 38 yards Ridley is a good player but let’s not pretend he is some unstoppable force. I am confident that Tre or Benford would not have allowed the game Ridley had today. Sure, there may be bigger takeaways. So go post in threads that discuss those. Why hijack a thread talking about one problem to repeatedly say “but there are other problems tooooo”?

This play sums up Elam today.

On the bench.

Nothing in the OP claimed that Elam is why we lost. You made that up. But he was certainly part of the reason. As were others.

He was routinely targeted, routinely beat, and routinely frustrated. Some fans thought he was a healthy scratch in previous games simply because Benford is better. Yeah, Benford is better… but Elam is also a bad player. They’re not mutually exclusive.

I think this makes McDermott 1-3 against Jacksonville.

I never blame refs, but something is weird with these refs today.

Enough with the draw!!

The amount to sacks the defense is missing is impressive.

We need to give Elam help. Cant keep him on an island.

Agreed. Diggs would have 3 TD’s right now with further throws.

What is up with Allen’s arm today? Second time he underthrew a Diggs TD.

Hate wasting second half timeouts. We may need that timeout.

This is currently a 15 play, 8 minute drive.

Elam is a major liability.

He’s not good. Even in man he is getting turned around.

The CB blitz took WAY too long to get there.

It’s too bad Allen couldn’t hit Diggs in stride. He would have scored. I know it was far.

Buttery Gabe.

If i’m the NFL, i’d be pissed at the refs. These international games are meant to advertise the NFL product and the number of flags is ruining it.

Why do you think he hasn’t played this season until multiple DB’s were hurt? Because the coaches don’t think he is good either.
