It's rare to see an entire paragraph where virtually everything in it is 100% wrong. 

 

Try watching the video. I was 100% right.

Allen is being coached to take what the defense gives him, but the down side to that is he is missing the downfield stuff. Maybe you should look at the specific play I am talking about before making comments.

 

Defense wasn't giving him much of anything through the entire game. I am sure he missed some stuff but he was under duress all game long and all QBs miss some stuff.

The safety had it read the whole way, Palmer recognized that and adjusted the route upfield because it was going to be broken up if he stays flat.

Unfortunately Allen had to get rid of the ball before he wanted to because Edwards screwed up at the snap and chased a zone dawg across the LOS for no reason. If he just drops into passpro like he's supposed to, he easily picks up the twist that created the pressure that forced Allen to throw the ball before the read/route was complete.

If Edwards just does his job instead of chasing ghosts, that's a TD to Palmer (that gets called back on the OPI).

 

So your answer to this is that he adjusted upfield, while the ball was already in the air, and let the safety have a clean catch to the ball instead of continuing his route where Allen expected him to be?

I have zero interest in interacting with anybody who intentionally makes foolish nonsensical statements about things they don't understand because they think they can play gotcha with people who at least have some understanding.

Have a nice weekend.

I know of eight other times someone was open.

Dude. You completely started it. Instead of arguing the post you attacked me like I'm some moron. I was right on the post. Get your eyes checked.

No it wasnt a misfire. It was thrown where it should have been thrown. Palmer was streaking down the 10 yard line. Thats where the pass was going. Palmer adjusted his route upfield after the ball was already in the air. Had Palmer continued his route where he was initially going then he would have boxed out the safety. If he went upfield to the endzone then the safety is in prime position. Palmer screwed the pooch there. Slow the video down and watch it.

 

Knox might have been his first read. If thats the case then Allen long moved on before Knox was even in the picture. You think a QB should stay on the first read for how long?

Enough to make a throw to a wide open first read option...?

Yeah, Josh missed the wide open Knox.

 

Doesn't matter though. Gabe Davis with pass interference. Gonna get called back regardless if Knox caught it.

Allen will probably light up the Steelers for 400 yds
