Allen is a physical beast. But he has horrible hands and looks like he's running in a foot of sand. He seems to always be on the injury report if not already inactive. 

Doyle is a warrior he definitely doesn't have the physical attributes as Allen but he makes up for it in heart and guts! 

For the money I'm taking Doyle all day! 

 

 

Allen was good his rookie year. What the heck happened to him? 

[infamous]

We are paying to be an extra blocker and to drop balls. Then complain he don't get the ball thrown to him as much as he should. A big let down if you ask me. Should have kept fleener.

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

The best/worst part is that when Allen drops an early ball he literally doesn't get targeted the rest of the game and ends up with a cool 1-3 yard reception evening...

[COLTS449]

I wanted Fleener back more than anybody. I thought we should have done everything possible to bring both back. But Allen's on pace for over 600 yards and 5 TD's. I don't know. We'll see here in 3-4 more games who's having the better year between the 2.

We're paying him for penalties & dropped passes looks like

Trash player.

I'm not sure but I do know that recent PI call was the best we've seen from Dwayne all year.

[raymondwebb]

Our coach lost us another game due to poor play calling. And I know we have a offensive coordinator but he mirrors the head coach!

Can we just start Doyle from now on?

[Derakynn]

Apparently to run around and play handball. 

[Defjamz26]

Colts should look at trading him and seeing what type of draft pick they can get. Not looking like he's worth the money after this game. And we need all the help we can get.

[BPindy]

Yeah I'm done defending him. Just keeps getting worse and worse

[coltsfanatic24]

Doyle is a much better route runner and player. 

[Colts_Fan12]

Lol your all just * off that he didn't convert the first the jags player played the ball great wasn't Allen's fault it's a part of damn football

I don't get this thread... What's wrong with Allen? He had a drop? 

 

He bails out the O-Line on a regular basis. He's a pretty reliable route runner and pass catcher. Doyle is good, but you need 2, really. 

He had several key drops again today

[aaron11]

he could be in the running for most overpaid player in the league this year

 

that award usually doesn't go to a TE but he will at least get an honorable mention

[snkdy]

He was abysmal today and I couldn't be more disappointed.

[Turftoe]

That last throw to Allen was defended pretty well.  However, it seems opposing teams make that catch.  Allen and others dropped easy passes and also failed to make some difficult catches as well.  Players make plays.

[RockThatBlue]

Dwayne Allen was awful today.

 

But its ok, because he blocks good or something.

[1959Colts]

Bad Signing. 4 years. 29 million

You are correct, sir... I may have spoke too highly of him earlier in the thread. His drops have been especially costly, like Fleener's when he was here.

 

I hate to admit it, but i'm starting to sympathize with many of the forum members who i'd branded "malcontents" in the past. I didn't consider our team to be a realistic SB team, but I did not think we would drop 3 of the first 4 and look so sloppy.

At some point, I guess, you have to admit that we ought not be so talent-starved at this point in the Pagano/Grigson era. We haven't been hamstrung by the cap, we just haven't done a good enough job coaching or bringing in talent. 

 

I'm sure there are some people here that are thinking "yeah, and the sky is blue" but I honestly expected much better than we've seen this season. 

[Steamboat_Shaun]

Doyle's a 1st down/YAC machine, Allen's a makeshift extra o-lineman that catches a ball 1 out of every 5 or 6 times that he's targeted. I liked Allen in the past, & always gave him the benefit of the doubt due to his injury issues. But now he just seems completely unfocused and WAY overpaid.

I honestly expected this team to be 3-1 at this point. But that was all predicated on the fact that our offense would be aggressive, explosive, and actually try to attack opposing defenses. But there's none of that, no sense of urgency, instead it's just total complacency across the board, except for a handful of players. And the defense is SO bad. Not a winning recipe.
