I mean you saw it. He was a different guy in that Cincy game and both Jets games. Its one thing to go out swinging and another to play it safe or scared. Diggs was pissed, probably wondering where his QB went
I did see him as more tentative and indecisive in the Cincy game. The whole team was drained at that point so he probably felt the same.
His inconsistency started in the 2nd half of the Packers game and he was never able to recapture that early season form. Hopefully he’ll clean things up next season otherwise it’ll be another early exit.

Let me clarify myself a little more. As my “friend” Jauronimo kindly pointed out the title of this thread was misrepresented, kudos to him. I’m all for Josh having a great exciting life, charity softball, Kentucky Derby’s, prestigious golf tournaments, etc etc. I’m all FOR it! Josh has earned every bit of it and I’m EXTREMELY happy for him, he deserves and earned every bit of it. What I’m referring to is the stark change to his perceived image, right, wrong or indifferent. All of a sudden he’s in a break up with his childhood beau, rumored that he plowed a Buffalo barmaid and got her pregnant and the sudden modeling in popsicle suits. Sorry, I don’t like the direction that he appears to be heading, it just seems out of character for him. Furthermore I don’t doubt that when the football flies he’ll still be physical but I want his image to stay intact. Call me whatever you want because I think that I more than proven that I don’t care what any of you think and your opinion of me. I’ve been on this message board a long time and what I have witnessed is that they’re far too many of you that think that they can say and do anything they want towards others. I guarantee that you won’t find too many times where I have totally came out and insulted others. In the few times that I have acted negative towards others was in response, I NEVER initiated it. Do you know why? It’s because I’m a staunch believer in that if I’m not man enough to say it to your face then I’m not going to be a weasel enough to hide behind a keyboard. My only wish is that I would like to see more people follow this philosophy but then again I’ve always been accused of being a dreamer…
It appears to me that you just don’t like his style. Maybe it’s too flamboyant for your personal taste. You’d prefer he’d be a low key nose to the grindstone type that would represent the blue collar mentality of this area. That’s just a personal preference man. It has nothing to do with his ability on the field. As much as we like to think we know our star players personally we really don’t and sometimes their personality rubs us the wrong way. It doesn’t make those actions, whatever they may be, a detriment to their playing ability. Let’s chalk this thread up as one of those that should’ve been private thoughts. Cheers!

I do think he has lost his edge. And that explains why Diggs gets so pissed
What does losing his edge mean to you? There are definitely things that Allen can work on to improve his game.

You don’t have a freaking clue what they’re doing on a regular basis. Not a single damn clue. You just like to pretend you’re more knowledgeable than the next guy. It’s like that guy who started this nonsense thread talking about how he doesn’t like Diggs personally, as if he has some personal interactions with the man.
Mahomes is at the same race and nobody says a freaking thing. Josh is there and he gets criticized for modeling? For not being all in? That is pathetic.
I think Burrow was also there. This is all really silly. Young rich athletes attending popular events. Omg the sky is falling!

It’s not really the endorsements, it’s the posing/modeling. He looks ridiculous. At least flame me for the accurate accusation.
Would it have been better if he had a red white and blue lunch pail in those pics?

KC is putting a LOT on their QB, we’d be murdering our front office for doing what they’re doing - relying on a patchwork line and a bunch of reclamation projects at receiver.This can’t be. People on here keep insisting it’s so much easier for their qb.

Read your statement again.
On order for an argument, debate, thesis, or anything, to be objective, what is a minimal requirement?
We'll, since you've chosen that approach, id equally suggest that anyone not understanding the value of continuity and chemistry between QBs and OLs would equally "have to be the biggest moron on the planet."
That's without even touching on the coaching concept.
🙂
I’m not sure where you’re going with this but it’s not important. I’ve said Mahomes is the better qb (the best currently) and also Allen can win a sb with the Bills. The first part is not subjective and the second part is because I’m a fan after all.

Thank you!!
To add to what you wrote, Burrow's third season playoff performances are not as good as Allen's third season playoff performances. So at a developmental level he wasn't where Allen was, insofar as playoff performance goes at least, at that time.
You do realize that your analysis is all but entirely subjective, right?
Just pointing that out.
Which part? The part where I said Mahomes is better? I mean the metrics for qbs are championships, stats, win/loss records. One guy has more than the other but it’s somehow subjective to say that guy is better?
If what you mean by subjective is whether Mahomes would be good with the Bills then you can make that same argument for anybody in the history of the NFL. Systems are great. Coaches are great. But players are above all because they execute on the field to win. A great player is going to be great no matter where he goes.

Mahomes is good, but to suggest that all of the other elements that helped the Chiefs win SBs were irrelevant after him is ludicrous. And frankly, if he would have been just as good here, then why haven't we even made a SB with Allen?
With a little objectivity the answer would be simple. Covered with fan biases the answer becomes convoluted with what if scenarios.
Go back to the Divisional round, in KC’s first SB run, against Houston. Receivers dropped passes, defense and special teams blunders put them in a 24-0 hole in the 1st quarter. Yet by halftime KC was leading. With any objectivity you can see Mahomes is special. Rises to the occasion when things look bleak for his team time and time. He is better than our qb. It’s ok to admit that. It doesn’t mean Allen isn’t great in his own way. The Bills can win a championship with Allen.

When it comes to Lamar...there are a lot of people that say he's not a top 10 QB in the NFL. Thing is, he is...but it has a lot more to do with the level of QB play than it does about his skill to play QB.
That list has Watson at 10. Personal opinion about the person aside, what did he show as a player last year (after being moth balled the previous year) that even suggests he's in the convo for top 20 QBs? He was awful.
Danny Dimes threw a whopping 15 TDs was it last year? Yet he's on the list as above the middle of the pack. I don't think there has been a period of mediocre starting QBs in the NFL like this in a long time.
Not sure if Lamar is a top 10 qb but he is definitely a top 3 rb.

You can say the same about Allen and Bills fans. Only a very few questionable fans would want to trade Allen for Mahomes, IMO.
I’d feel incredibly dirty if the Bills did that and won a Super Bowl.
Same here. Mahomes may be the best to ever play but he isn’t Buffalo’s. Allen is the fit here and he just needs to win 1 so we can put all this to rest. Bills fans can finally get out of the rings-envied sports bar and lose that championship inferiority complex.

That may be true for his first however many years in the league, but last year all Mahomes had was Kelce. That’s the same as Allen having Diggs. And Mahomes won a Super Bowl with him.
Allen is simply more prone to mistakes than Mahomes. That’s why he has more INT’s and more fumbles, yet has played in less games. The weapons around him didn’t make him fumble the ball at the goal line (twice) against Minnesota. Or throw the INT in overtime. Or throw INT’s straight to Jets players.
I’m very happy to have Allen. He’s likely my favorite Bill of all time at this point. But Mahomes is better.
Mahomes has 49 INT’s and 31 fumbles in 80 games.
Allen has 60 INT’s and 52 fumbles in 77 games.
He is more prone to mistaken and there is no denying that.
Allen is a great qb. He’s a perfect fit for the Bills. But too many here are not objective when comparing him to the best in the league right now. I agree with all your points. It doesn’t make for a bad Bills fan to acknowledge another qb is better. Of all the ridiculous stats that Mahomes has the most impressive to me is that he leads in comebacks of 10pts+ all time at something like 58%. The next closest is Brady at 37% or something. Having the clutch gene is not something that can be taught. He just has it.
I hope Allen and the Bills can improve enough to get 1 ring. I don’t need him to be the best qb in the league. Being the best qb for the Bills is more than enough enjoyment as a Bills fan.

This is kind of foolish. Does loyalty mean nothing? I'd get it if Allen were a top 8-12 QB. But he's solidly top three and at worst top 5. I rather ride and die with Allen than trade him for Mahomes.
It’s a good thing you feel this way because the Chiefs would never trade Mahomes for Allen.

I won’t 2nd the notion that he’s slow at processing. I don’t think that’s true. But he does seem frantic deer in headlights mode in situations where being calm and cool would probably serve him and the team better.

the only time Allen should be running is on those few designed runs.spiking the ball at the feet of your Blocking RB is not intentional Grounding at all. It’s the move all Super Bowl Winnibg QBs who know how to fight another day have been doing for decades.
Scrambling is silly and pointless in unnecessary situations. Just kill the play. Save your body. You’ll have plenty of more opportunities to win the game before the clock strikes 00:00.
You mean like how Burrow did it in the AFCCG that killed a late drive with an intentional grounding? C’mon. I’m one of the biggest Allen critic on here and even I think you can’t take that part of his game away. Why would you? It’s a huge asset for the team. What you’d want is a middle ground. Run and slide. Run out of bounds. Avoid contact until absolutely necessary like in the playoffs. Kind of like the other qb that played in the AFCCG.

I mean, the Chiefs got lucky they drafted the current best QB in the game and paired them with a HoF coach. The Pats got lucky they drafted the previous best QB in the game and paired them with a HoF coach.
How is that not luck lmao? Drafting HoF players in the second and third and fifth rounds is luck.
I don’t think they came out of the box as ‘best qb in the game’. That came from development from the staff and them working hard individually. Just attributing it to luck seems like discrediting all involved.
I’m with you that it does take some luck to win a superbowl. But when a team has done it multiple times in a short period they’ve figured something out beyond just luck.

I don’t think that’s what I said. Expecting to win superbowls doesn’t mean he’s better than Brady.

I didn't bother to stop and figure out why I reacted negatively to what Allen said, and you hit it on the head. But I don't think it means he wasn't focused earlier. I think it just means that he isn't a truly mature and precise speaker. He understands that there's been a lot of talk about how the season ended and the fact that Bills seemed to have lost their focus by the time they hit the playoffs (I don't think they "seemed" to; I think they did), and he wanted to respond to what seems like a criticism out there. I think he's a little thin-skinned. He hasn't grown up enough yet to do what Brady and Rodgers did/do in their 30s, which is to say, "Look, we're fine. There always are rough patches along the way, and we stay focused on the goal and get back to it." In other words, R-E-L-A-X. I don't think Allen has the maturity yet to say those kinds of things to the press, so instead we get I've "never been more focused on Football."
You’re absolutely right! I have no doubt that when he matures his game will be elevated as well.

we should do the Pats from 2005 to 2013. Lots of “made it to the AFCCG game then lost in the divisional round the next year.”
When the expectations for the Bills are higher than the greatest dynasty in football, you know we’ve gone off the rails a bit.
With a qb like Allen the expectation is exactly where it should be.

In my opinion something has gotten home to Allen. He came out and said “he has never been more focused on Football” But why say that? He doesn’t need too. We know his passion for the game, he literally has carried the team on his back. He also said he needs to be less of a Football Player and become more of a Quarterback.
I am sure deep down he wants to go down as one of the greats. To this day despite the hype every season he has zero Super Bowl appearances, Zero MVPs and seemingly the team took a step back last year. Of course I believe all the circumstances surrounding the team and his arm played a big part in that. Maybe internally he feels a bit of pressure.. I don’t know and I don’t think he should.
I think Allen is going to come out firing on all cylinders this year. Hopefully the arm is healthy and ready to go.Unlike most here I didn’t like this comment from Allen. It screams a teenager trying to convince his parents that he’ll do better this coming semester because he’s very focused now. I’d prefer he’d just say we didn’t get it done this last season and will have to be better next season. Then work his butt off and do it. No need to try and convince people you’re focused now. What were you doing these last few years if you’re just now focusing?

To me, Burrow is the closest thing this generation of QB’s has to Brady.
That certainly doesn’t mean he’s going to be as successful, but he just makes the right read and takes what the defense gives him 99% of the time.
He doesn’t have the physical talent Mahomes and Allen have … they are in a league of their own, albeit with different skill sets, but both of them can get frustrated and force the ball down the field.
Burrow will literally go the entire game throwing 0-15 yard passes if that’s what you’re giving him.
Not sure if you watched the AFCCG this past season. Burrow was the one forcing things deep for two ints. Mahomes was methodical.
Here’s hoping Allen will turn the corner as Mahomes has. Taken the short stuffs to move the chains.
