On 3rd & 4 Allen was immediately forced to his left by a missed Saffold block. He was clobbered at exactly the moment he released the ball and missed an open Diggs for a likely TD. The guy reviewing the play thought Diggs ran a great rout and Allen made a great throw under the circumstances and that they missed tying the Bengals by a few inches. The play of the O line and lack of protection was easily the single biggest factor in the O struggling in that game. Go back and actually watch a playoff game. It's not unusual, particularly on a bad weather day, for an O to struggle to get its feet set early on. In that type of game AT HOME your top rated D is expected to hold the fort. Instead our D allowed the Bengals to score 14 points and use up almost an entire quarter. How different is this game if the D does its job and holds Cincy to a FG and an early 3 - 0 lead? That is just categorically wrong. Allen wasn’t forced anywhere, and it certainly wouldn’t have been left if caused by a missed block by his LG. He had a reasonably clean pocket, as good as you’re going to get on a third and medium in the postseason, and he allowed himself to get mildly interefered with by Saffold and his man. He was bumped, certainly not clobbered. If he’d have either thrown the ball to Diggs on time or shown any pocket presence whatsoever, it would have been a huge play. It was an uncharacteristically terrible play by Josh at a really inopportune time. It’s okay to admit what everyone in the world saw. Even great QBs make mistakes. He’ll learn from it. What he needs to do is tell Stef that if he ever shows him up like that again he’ll smack the eff out of him in the locker room after the game. I’m going to catch hell for saying this on here, but it’s reality. Edited July 7, 2023 by Billl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 I didn’t read through every response but it always should be mentioned. Josh gets more injured staying in the pocket than he does scrambling. At least thus far in his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
