You guys that are saying Allen is Lamar with more arm talent...
Uhhh...
I don't even. Yeah. No.
You are total and complete buffoons and any opinion you have about football is hereby null and void.
I had criticisms of Allen regarding his tendency to fold in the play-offs; but he's a lot more than just an arm. And he's not going to fold in the play-offs from here out, doesn't look like.
I agree, they need to take the designed runs out of the gameplan for his and their long-term health.
did you notice their #3 receiver had 4 TD's? Why do you suppose that might be? Think maybe Allen has progressed to where he's seeing the field and going through his reads?
That might have been true in his first year, maybe even his second. But Allen is a different animal at this point. [Reply]

I remember thinking at the time that that drive represented my fanhood to a "T" - just hoping that this time they'll be just good enough to make something happen and then to just fail.
Man, it is just so good to be a Chiefs fan now.
Yes. Nightmare.
I think that’s the game where Travis jerked off to the ref.

Any decent NFL QB could have hit those wide-open plays. It was not some incredibly honed skill to see Mike Hughes fall down like an idiot.
Oh...and fuck the Bills! Their fan's calls to radio shows were priceless! [Reply]

I'd characterize him as Lamar's legs and Carr's arm [FTR, that's a nudge above Lamar with BETTER arm]. He's great at passing when he sees his chance, but he still has that turtling impulse when coverage is tight and pass rush is ferocious. His arm looked all world this weekend because our secondary was in disarray and reeling. Carr can do that too, but you have to ID and key the weakness. You have to funnel him into that impulse, or he'll kill you. [Reply]
