I don’t understand why everybody is posting allen memes, saying he’s the problem and to cut him. Yes he leads the league in interceptions but many of those are not at fault of him but his receivers and their inability to catch the ball. Diggs and Kincaid have been the only reliable targets the last few games as Davis has seemed unable to make some important catches. I think Joe brady will be better as out OC than Dorsey, at least for the time being. Sean needs to go after this season, he did a great job fixing the team since he was hired but he has reached his cap and isn’t doing anything other than hurting us now. Benching cook for the first half of that game over a fumble that wasn’t his fault was a giant killer for us and the run game and had he been in earlier on maybe the game would have had a different outcome. We need brady to give us a more diverse and unpredictable playbook, Sean needs to keep our top players in the game until they NEED to be benched, and they need to figure out the issue with all of these fumbles. Now I’m ready to come back to 42 downvotes and 7 people telling me I’m not a real fan.

    What’s going on with Allen right now breaks down to a few things.

    1. Dorsey’s scheme made our offense super predictable. That Orlovsky breakdown was great. There are plays that defenses learned to sniff out by week 5, and we kept running them. Defenses are better when they know what’s about to happen–just ask Jim Harbaugh. Plus we’d run stuff that didn’t utilize the right personnel. In no way should we be throwing 50/50 contested bombs to Harty.
    2. Our receivers haven’t been doing all that well. Josh hasn’t been throwing a ton of turnover-worthy balls, but all these turnovers are happening nonetheless. I’d be curious to see how many of his picks were actually on a pass that was deemed to be turnover worthy. Because I can think of probably 4 or 5 this season that bounced off of a receiver’s hands directly into a defender. Don’t know if a pass that literally hits a receiver in the hands is turnover-worthy, but a turnover was nonetheless a result.
    3. 1 pick was an arm punt on 3rd and long where he was throwing up a prayer in the hopes of drawing PI or the receiver actually being able to make a play. And the Jets probably should have knocked it down–they might have had better field position if we actually did punt.
    4. I honestly think Josh hasn’t been quite right since Damar, and definitely not since his breakup. His body language has been completely different. He lacks the fire he used to have. He looks sad and withdrawn. It’s been getting worse as time goes on. I’m not sure how much that’s contributing to his issues, but he seems like his fearlessness, which was part of what made his game great, has been replaced by an abundance of caution. I don’t want to say that’s 100% Josh, because clearly the playcalling has taken that part of his game away too. But part of it is definitely him.

    So of 11 picks, maybe 5-7 of them at most have been 100% on Josh. You’d hope that number would be lower, but blaming all of it on Josh is failing to see the forest for the trees. He was not put into a position to succeed this season.
