3 picks= failure. Don't get me wrong I think he will be just fine but he played poorly today.

And tow more fumbles, one lost.  

I think he will get better but how many games will it take? 5? 10? 15?  At what point do you know a guy won;t get better?  I have no idea.  I suspect McD doesn't either.

But he didn’t. Sorry I like Josh but for the season he is 3 TDs to 6 INTs plus 3 lost fumbles. After two games where the error was pointing up he has now had two games where the error went decidedly down. The defense will not be great forever and I want my QB to be better straight up 

 

Convenient you're not including his 3 rush TDs as well.

 

But hey, whatever. You do you.

Agreed.  Terrible performance.  It’ll get better

 

Right. He’s had two good games (Jets Giants) one average (Bengals) and one bad which was today which makes you ask some hard questions. This isn’t a panic button he has started just 16 games as much as a well I like what you’ve shown but I need better for it to work long term.

how many Running TDS. I mean we want to count all his turnovers shouldn’t we count all his TDs

It will be better.  He played against a championship defense.  You know this

I am an Allen fan- but agree with you. Bad mechanics, holding the ball too long 3 picks just a step back today. 

 

Right step back happens you hope it’s just a step and he goes forward from here. I would like a stretch with less turnovers it’s getting concerning.

Young QB with still less than a full season under his belt.  He is going to have bad moments.  What concerns me are the bad decisions he is making - taking sacks that knock you out of FG range, and throwing those awful off balance interceptions as he rolls out.

 

Just hope he learns from this sooner rather than later...

If Allen keeps making mistakes at this rate all season I’ll be worried. My hope after the 3-0 start was for Allen to keep learning how to reduce mistakes while the defense carried the team to victories this year. I’ll be worried if we start losing games, and Allen keeps making bad decisions with no sign of improvement once the offseason arrives.

100% he failed today. You can see the fear and the poor decision making from the get go. 

 

Way too much respect for the Pats. 

 

Lets hope he learns to not get in his own head like that against stronger opponents

I don't think the offensive game plan helped Allen's play.  Why not quick slants, out-patterns or draws??  Maybe the plan was to show off Josh's arm and stretch the defense but obviously that failed.  That nice, quick play drive to start the 3rd quarter was never brought back again?

They lost because of Allen today plain and simple. Rather he finished the game or not he made some completely meatheaded plays. I haven’t given up on him yet but he’s played enough to start making these adjustments. His need for the big throw and homerun VS the safer shorter route is maddening as a fan. I hope he’s ok, and I absolutely want him starting against another pretty nasty defense in Tennessee. If he can’t learn from his mistakes and get better then at least we’ll know by seasons end if he’s franchise material or not. He needs to play every possible down though this season.

Sure 6 TDs total against 9 turnovers. I don’t want my QB committing 36 turnovers it’s not sustainable. He needs to do better I believe he can but today was a step back
