I have a hypothesis re: Allen that checks a couple boxes

Now I think he can see there are more important things than football. A family. A career AFTER football that doesn't involve the NFL.

I agree with this and think he's going to be one of those guys who hangs it up way before anyone expects him to do so. He's certainly hitting those endorsement deals like a guy who doesn't plan to still be earning NFL paychecks into his mid-30s.

Yeah b/c Josh is the first QB to have a pregnant wife/kid on the way?? 

 

Lol, I mean heaven forbid Patrick Mahome's dysfunctional wife can manage lol -- and Patrick didn't seem phased.   And I get that Patrick had poorer seasons statistically, but he also lost Tyreek and KC was reconfiguring their offense.  He made it count when i mattered most.

It's not even the lack of sleep, extra duties, etc.

I am 100% convinced that having your first child rewires a guys brain and turns every man into a bumbling buffoon from about the 5th month of pregnancy until the baby is approaching a year old.

My experience, it's the mother who has their brain rewired with 1st child and many studies show that.

Dude... not gonna lie... I was literally wondering this last night and thought about posting it on here.  I decided not to and thought everyone would say that's nuts.

 

With that said, we all know Allen is a family man and kids are in the future... curious if the plan was to impregnate her over the Summer so she would give birth during the dead season in March or April.

 

Probably not happening, but honestly I'm glad you posted this thread.  At least it shows I'm not the only crazy one thinking about when Allen's having kids

No excuses. Mahomes has a couple of kids, and it didn't affect his play. If anything, that should make Allen happy and help him play better.

Not to mention his wife, brother and dad to deal with.  

Though truly, if anything, having screaming, pants *****, "ME ME ME!" people around all the time likely made fatherhood that much easier.

You just know Mahomes is texting his wife "staying late at practice" and then he just sits in the parking lot for an hour before driving home.

I think Josh is worried about whether people notice the baby looks like Diggs or not

[Walking Tall]

The late, great Mickey Goldman once said, “women weaken the legs”.

 

And Josh said his footwork wasn’t up to par after the Panthers game.

 

Draw your own conclusions.

Can we get back to football talk?! All this baby talk is getting too Nancy-like. Next thing we see is TBD decorated in fringe, doilies and lollipops.

He doesn't appear to love football ..

It's not the same fiery guy.

I do believe the problem is internal 

Fix the problem soon or the season is washed...

[Mr. WEO]

If he was a RB or CB, this would not be a problem.

Honestly, not getting great vibes from Allen lately. Looks and sounds like a guy who is ready to hang em up and hit the golf course. Hopefully he shuts all of us up on Sunday. 

[QB Bills]

If this theory holds true, Keon is definitely scoring a lot more off the field than on. Hide your wives and daughters, Buffalonians.

Getting pregnant doesn’t feel like the culprit unless he really didn’t want to.
 

That said, I recall trying (and failing) to get pregnant with our second and that causing lots of emotional stress, especially with the miscarriages. Those were awful, and would cause anyone to have issues that bled into other parts of their life, especially depending how their wife handled it (not great in my case).

[Don Otreply]

I think he has taken up smoking the ganja,  and his short term memory has been effected between the snap and the second step back, I mean it could happen, and then again monkeys…,

I honestly think he's just burned out from constantly coming up short against the Chiefs in the playoffs, and failing to bring the fan base a championship. I think his talk in the off-season about having no expectations is his way of trying to manage that disappointment and stress.

 

Part of me also wonders if he hasn't been hurt and had his bell wrong more than we realize as fans. 

 

Regardless, and I hate to say it, but I'm getting the feeling that we may have seen the best of Josh already.

You got a problem with doilies? What is a doilie?

I'm wondering if that's what Hailee's "Can you really have it all" question came from.
