Allen just never has had the ball placement to operate well in the gold zone. I don't believe he truly got a ton better in that regard - Dabol just worked around it. Ball placement has always been a weakness for him and it surfaces most in short areas where you have higher risk and lower reward.
Now put that in an enclosed space like G2G scenarios and your windows are all the smaller and the arm strength doesn't play up anymore.
They need to stop playing like I do in Madden when I'm trying to build up a young QBs stats. Just hand the damn ball off and finish your drives. You have a solid RB. Take the mileage of your QB (and stop asking him to do something he's not good at with the short area throws) and use the expendable legs/back of your RB.

He is, but Brady seems to see him like Kamara and doesn't view him as a goalline type back (though honestly it seems like they could make a lot of hay running zone read triple-option looks with Allen, Cook, and Kincaid... the play the Chiefs used to burn the 49ers/Bosa in the Super Bowl for some of those big runs).
Allen isn't as crafty or decisive or instinctive as Mahomes, but he also is a physical sledgehammer who can bulldoze straight ahead for 3-5 yards. Kincaid, like Kelce, is not a physically dominant, move-your-ass-out-of-the-way in-line blocker, but he is effective enough to work in that action, where if he gets a solid piece of a guy it's enough to give Allen space or let Cook get to the opposite side or, if the blocker ignores him, slide to the flat as a pass option.
But hopefully he continues to try to use Allen down there like he used Drew Brees. That won't work and will minimize his effectiveness.
