Fake Slide should be 15 yard penalty

You probably accomplished your end with 16 pages of replies, but previously you've tried to project a level-headed understanding of the game @Zerovoltz. For this play to be the hill you die on is crazy. Like indefensibly crazy. I'm going to chalk it up to beers and boredom.

I really don’t think he meant to troll after hearing all the Steelers fans complaining about the refs and giving this kind of stuff traction lol 

 

it’s def trending but because Steelers fans are pathetic and some people must be believing their bs.  Absolute fake controversy

You do realize this SAME account thinks Allen faked the slide right?

There’s plenty of people who think the world is flat. 
Heck, there’s even a Flat Earth Society. 
that doesn’t mean the earth is flat. 
 

Any observer who has studied Allen’s running style know that he isn’t the smoothest runner around. His jukes, while effective, may seem awkward. 
 

Look at his run closely. From ground level would be best. Players who are going to slide begin shifting their weight backward, and kicking their legs forwards. There’s a good example of a fake slide from Mahomes in this thread where he does exactly that. 
 

Note that Allen never shifts his weight backwards.  
 

im thinking the number of volts matches the IQ…

So no comment on the fake slide?

Only thing fake is your perception!  Maybe most sour grapes post in history. Why tho;  doesn’t appear you are a Steelers fan looking at your icon / colors?  Didn’t you watch te broadcast , as they reviewed and specifically pointed out Allen’s great juke , and then he slid and WAS DOWN and steeler chose to then dive at him. This must be troll stuff as these call weren’t even close. 

 

I see you didn’t mention the bs call that robbed us from the fumble recovery , which was never close to OOB. Hmm, very selective about your referee outrages. Leads me to add your honesty along with perception and rules knowledge as the real fake issues here. Hey , I’m originally from Steubenville , Ohio , 1/2 hour from Pittsburgh , and my mom was up there in st clairsville cheering for her Steelers tonight at age 97, so i feel for Yinz!  Injuries really suck and we both got decimated. Better luck next year, maybe don’t treat preseason so seriously in 2024!

Show me one where I said it was OK to do it.

 

I can show you some posts from Bills fans complaining about DAK doing a fake slide in that game.  

 

When Allen fake slides we can have this debate on whether or not it was a garbage play by him. To date he hasn't fake slid so no point in having that conversation now. Maybe other QB's like Mahomes and Dak have. I'm honestly not keeping receipts on other QB's fake sliding.

The nearest defender was 7 yards away.....

 

 

 

I'm glad you posted this clip, because I thought I was going crazy. I couldn't remember any "fake slide," but was wondering if I just overlooked it in the moment.

 

Nope! That's nowhere close to a fake slide, and putting it side to side with a real slide makes that so much more obvious.

Hopefully there’s a “from behind” view of that play.

The view from field level coming at you suffices just fine. Josh did a little stutter step. Not even close to a fake slide. It’s just an incredibly stupid complaint.

I would like to see how far he moves to the left at that moment when he changes direction.

Someone posted this a few pages up thread. Pretty decent field level look at it. Not even close to a fake sliding mostion.

So it basically looks like Minkah freezes because of Josh’s change of direction (possible right or left) not a slide.

Allen with the blatant fake slide on the long run, then later draws a 15 yard penalty on a late hit on slide where the defender didn't hit his head.....but can you blame him for going for the tackle based on the fake earlier?  

 

The slide is a play intended to protect the QB, not to do what Allen did.  That was garbage.


Anyone else read this in Mahomes’ voice?
