if its higher its just where Thomas needs to extend his arms and its less contended with by the defender. 

 

But Thomas can't toe touch.

Let's just be happy the Giants run into the kicker on 4th & 9....because the real head scratcher was the 3rd & 9 play where Allen throws to someone at the line of scrimmage as if they were going to find a way to covert.

I dont hate the game Allen is playing.  The INT wasnt good, but otherwise, he's keeping them in the game, moving and controlling the ball, and getting them in scoring positions.  I'm more confident we have a chance to win this than I would be if Haskins or Smith were in.

Damn autocorrect. 

[TradeTheBeal!]

If we can keep Jones under 150 yards rushing, we might have a chance.

I mean, historically it’s not a good playcall for almost any QB, period. It’s an extremely low percentage play across the board. But man is it a beauty when it works. 

being able to do it is really a necessity though because there are certain red zone defensive fronts that really are only neutralized by either a consistent fade or an absolutely dominant oline running game, otherwise a really well played zone can neutralize all the other routes. Nice to see it

I still stand by the idea that Allen is playing the exact same game plan that Haskins played with weeks 1, 2 and 4. 

 

I take that back because Allen is moving the pocket more, but that's about the only difference. They took at least one shot deep, but otherwise its almost a carbon copy of some of Haskins throws.

When you've got a 6'5 guy on a 5'11 guy I want a higher placed ball. That's why I'm not big on the placement. But its not something I'm big on either way. You (and others) say it was great, then I'll defer

 

I think the placement was to ensure it's in play.  I think Thomas has a harder time getting his feet in if he's extending up to get it.  As Gibbs used to say, no pass ever has been completed out of bounds.

Allen is fine. He’ll be in the league for a long time as a backup/pinch starter.

 

This scheme though. It generates nothing downfield and Turner has a knack of putting the QB in bad spots where they can either take a sack or a grounding.

HEY they won the TOP

Didnt they also have it against Baltimore even though they were being blown out?

 

Actually, those aren’t terrible stats across the board.  
 

Not good.  But not terrible.  

[GOATFrerotte]

Hopefully Allen is comfortable now and can really start getting the team rolling. That was nice to see him respond well after such a terrible pick

Maybe.  I think soem of that is protection of the OL with WRs who can’t separate.

I don't want to place a ceiling on him. He's showing he can play in this league. He needs to improve his arm strength because he is looking more like Colt McCoy right now. 

[Warhead36]

I wanna see the D clamp down. Have the Giants punted yet? 

[dswerdlw]

Any updates on injuries to AGG and Charles?

[TradeTheBeal!]

3 drives of 10+ plays.

 

That ain’t terrible.

[Simmsy]

Of course Fox would have the trashiest commercial for a presidential debate.

[Conn]

Let’s talk about the balls to give up the shot at a semi-sure thing FG (I know nothing is a sure thing with this kicker right now) to go for it on 4th and 3, get it, and go into the half having put up 7 instead. That’s what we thought we were getting with Rivera and there it is.

It’s so messed up. Like a Smackdown ad and they’re talking about a pandemic and race relations. 

[Malapropismic Depository]

This is going about how I'd expect a game between the 2 worst teams, to go

Honestly this is what scares me with Allen. Haskins has an arm that he can throw dangerous passes and because its so hard defenders are more likely to deflect it than catch it. Allen's arm strength isn't on the same level so I think the more dangerous passes he throws the more risky it gets. 

 

That said I remember Doug Floutie (wasn't this the year Brees was benched) scrambling around the pocket to get a good throwing lane instead of settling for the dangerous pass. 

 

[Cooleyfan1993]

@Simmsy you might wanna edit that comment.

Can't wait for Daniel Jones, one of the most turnover prone QBs in the game, to go an entire game without 1 TO. 

The only other time he has was against us, so... yeah.
