Allen is the kind of WR who gives every DB fits.

Sam didn't seem to jam him at the line, I would think with the short passing game, jaming him at the line would have thrown off the timing. Maybe a change to Gunter who seemed to do well in press coverage would have worked?

You think Gunter is better at press coverage than the guys the packers have out there? OK

Still, I think it was a strategic decision that failed. Go man up, but play off to avoid the big play, and allow for doubling of Gates or whomever. None of it really worked.

Allen getting dinged up was a stroke of luck, otherwise he catches 20 for 250.
