Allen shat the bed. 

 

All there really is to it.

Allen had 4.5 seconds of protection. That's more than enough in today's NFL.

I don't think he even needed that many if he'd have just taken his first opportunity.

People's first impression was that Allen didn't see Jarius Wright. Not true. He did.

This is my favorite line

Allen is a good backup QB but he's not a long-term starter. This isn't a bad thing. You need a backup QB too.

He did, but I took a minute or two to analyze the specific movements of his bowels.

And no, as much as people want it to be, that likely isn't Newton unless something changes.

Allen should not play more than 2 or 3 games in a season....ever.

I didn't see it at first either, but watching in slo-mo I saw him looking in that direction. It's also why he rolled to the right.

He just didn't pull the trigger when he should have.

Still think he could potentially be a starter, but if so it's likely gonna be a while.

Kind of doubt we're going to wait that long for a starter.

Plenty of QBs can be starters but most of them aren't quality. Kyle just doesn't have it. That's okay. He was a UDFA. A quality backup is still a damn good UDFA. The truth always comes out on QBs as NFL DCs start compiling film on them. The truth seems to be that Allen is in that good backup/subpar starter category.

What's weird there is that at least for the first couple of series, it looked like Washington wasn't going to handle him very well.

Whatever they adjusted, they got it right.

The Kid deserves a chance to start behind even a fair to middling line. CMC's failure on the end zone rushes at the end of the three games aren't on him, but on that weak sauce group of linemen we have. No push, just pushovers. Heck, GVR was the best of the bunch and we didn't have much respect for him. 

Our O-line just got their butts handed to them by a team that frikkin fired their coach mid-season and kept on losing. 

Honestly, the only D-line that our O-line is apparently good against is our OWN d-line -- that they look good in practice against those powder puffs is the only way you could explain how bad they looked against even bad pro linemen.

Sheesh.

Kyle was getting killed out there and he still marched us down the field twice with less than 4 minutes on the clock. The kid has moxie and the make up of a starter, he just doesn't have the protection to develop. And he won't unless we greatly improve our scouting and talent evaluation.

They started to get pressure on him. Williams and Turner were already wounded and sweating off the Thanksgiving  turkey. Paradis was apparently having some kind of crisis.
