Southern Bills Fan Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Wasn’t a great pass but it got there. For 7 mil a year, you expect a guy to catch it. 19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Not a great throw but in that situation at the end of the game the job of the QB is give your guys a chance and he gave Clay a chance. Should have been caught. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LikeIGiveADarn Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 It's not reasonable to expect Allen to make a perfect pass there, but he got the ball into the hands of the receiver, who dropped it. 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldmanfan Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Allen might have had a fraction of a second to set and get more into it, but when you have a veteran TE who gets hit in the hands and can't hold the ball, nor figure out he needs to work back a little towards his QB, is there a reason to have that veteran TE? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojo44 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 You have to keep in mind the specific circumstances of that play. Josh was running for his life. When he made the throw he was off-balance. He had to get it off as fast as possible.He had no time to set his feet. Essentially, it got there. All Clay had to do was take a couple steps towards the pass and catch it. Josh made a great play in my opinion. Shame 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame I get that and you can factor that into Allen's performance but technically speaking the question is did Allen deliver a pass his TE should of caught, I think he did.

LikeIGiveADarn Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 People can say that it was a bad pass, but it was still a bad pass that only MAYBE 4 QBs in the league can make. Rodgers, Stafford, Newton. and Allen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magox Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Considering the circumstances, escaping the rush, running for his life, throwing against his shoulder 45 yards in the air. 99% Clay's fault. Not only could he have caught that he absolutely should have caught it. He didnt even have to fully extend his arms for that catch. Great play by Josh 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 An easy way to answer this question - if Clay had caught the ball would anyone be talking about his incredible game winning play or Allen's incredible game winning play? No contest there. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackOrton Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Throwing a catchable ball across your body to the end zone while scrambling in circles with no time left, to a receiver with no defenders around, can never be a bad pass, IMO. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Sack Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 From the replay it looks like he was checking his footing to make sure he caught the ball in the end zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the reason he fell was that he was committed to the idea that he had to have the TD. If he had only focused on catching the ball it was easy. It was not a game ending hail mary situation. Just needed the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m watching Brady camp in the pocket every time he drops back - what a difference. Brady gets the ball out in 2 and a half seconds pretty much every time. I don't expect Josh to be there as a rookie but ultimately that is where he needs to get to. Snap, recognise the defense and ball out on time. That is what wins in this league long term. We need to improve his protection, no question.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen just escaped at least two rushers running for his life. If the pass want perfect he's got an excuse. Clay, on the other hand, needed to come back to the ball, not dive.
