Sorry, but INT#1 was a poorly thrown fade route. He came up short of where the ball should have been placed, and it was picked. That's a pass that you throw to the back corner of the end zone and let your receiver go get. He was about 5 yards short.

INT#2 was a bad decision on his part. He tried to force a pass in and the DB jumped the play and picked it off. That's on him.

INT#3 is the only one where an argument could be made that it was just one of those things that happen, but the camera angle on the play couldn't have been any better. Allen's pass was tipped because he threw to the inside while his intended target was turned to the outside. Even if it hadn't been tipped, it darn sure wouldn't have been caught. Now, one could argue that it was either a poorly placed pass, or his target was turned the wrong way. Tough to say if there was some sort of miscommunication there.

Keep in mind that all 3 interceptions came from DBs on the bottom of Atlanta's roster. These weren't the front line guys he was going up against. These are guys who may only have that highlight for their entire NFL career as they'll be returning to their day jobs on Monday.

Int #1 wasn't just a bad throw, it was a terrible decision, and showed a lot about Allen. Westbrook was double covered, the guy that intercepted the pass had deep coverage on him and another guy was trailing. Allen stared a double covered guy down and threw it there anyway. It was like Bortles on his worst day.

If the deep defender didn't have the coverage over the top throwing that pass makes sense, but what the pass really showed is that Allen didn't have a clue, he didn't make any reads and probably was completely tunnel visioned for Dede. That was what his success was in the preseason, throwing passes that should have been intercepted to the best third string WR in the NFL this preseason.
