    He is a gritty player and he uses his legs more than people would think. He also makes some head scratching decisions with the football.

    Not sure if he is as good as his paycheck and expectations tho.. but he definitely is better than I expected. His accuracy downfield has always been an issue too.

    One thing is for sure, we were in the backfield often and if their OL isn’t legit he will struggle this year.
    Yeah, plus the Steelers D held Allen down in entire first half last year in Buffalo & only got beat because we had ZERO offense & they were on field whole game.

      I believe the Steeler defense has Josh Allen figured out pretty good at this point. As long as the offense can muster drives and points to some degree the Steelers should be good to go against Allen.

      The same Jackson in Baltimore. The defense seems to have his number as well. This season will hinge on the offense being productive, they don't have to be the Chiefs but they can't go entire halves without sustaining drives and getting some points.

          I agree with this and it's a big reason why the defense faded at the end of last season. They could only do so much before the floodgates opened.

            I hung out there occasionally, more for the entertainment than anything else. I didn't post much, a lot of the threads deteriorated into a free-for-all. There were some interesting characters on that site to be sure.

              I would want to fight Pat after that block if I was that defender..

              that was disrespectful, Pat took out a DB, 5 other players and staff, a table and a medical cabinet.
