Allen is a budding superstar

I love what Allen is doing right now.  (Foster dropped the bomb). 

 

Actually, the proper term is alligator arm.  As in, Tommy alligator armed the pass to him in the Super Bowl.

 

Great game by Josh.  A little premature to call him a budding Superstar IMHO.  Hopefully he doesn't get nipped in the bud as many before him have.

I don't believe in Allen either, but this is just straight up hate. It's not the kid's fault we have some strange fans.

 

 

 

Sorry, but I honestly have zero idea what you mean by this. He wasn’t my first choice, but I’m not a professional evaluator. He’s our guy now, and I’m more than a little pleasantly surprised. Fingers crossed!

My assumption is that you have some kind of hostility towards Allen because Bills fans are overly optimistic about his long term projection.

 

The play in question was dope whether you believe in the guy or not. Seems like a reach to deny it.

I’m NOT a hater, nor am I blindly sold. It’s wait and see time. The play was amazing, and I don’t recommend repeating it, lest we finish the season with one Mr Peterman.

There's a reason why I hate when fans look at a kid's college stat line and come to a conclusion about how talented he is.  Hope he continues the momentum into next week.  

I hope so as well !!   

Could you imagine what this place will be like when we beat the Packers and Allen throws for over 300 yards with 3 TD’s ?? 

Goooo Bills !!!

screw the 1st overall pick I WANT playoffs!!!

70% of his passing yards came from YAC. His teammates were putting plenty on their backs. 

Be as negative as you want, it only means more crow to eat down the line. Your sad attempt to make Allen look bad makes me laugh deep down. Just wondering who peed in your cheerios? Ya can't stop the Allen train. Even with his receivers dropping balls that would have teed off other qbs, Allen just kept making plays. The defense gave him opportunities,  and he cashed in. In the 2nd half he was instructed to manage the clock and the game. And the defense did their job. If Allen didn't have the "it", would his teammates play that hard for him or have as high of praise for him as they do? The answer is Allen is the man. So you are saying you know more than the guys who play alongside of him? I do believe I will take their experience and word over a miserable Internet poster. Don't let that hate eat up your innards, buckwheat.

Yawn. Sorry Mrs. Allen.

Had the LB jumped up to get him, his tea days might have been over.  :wacko:

And it might rain in the Sahara desert for a month. One can't live by what if's. What if Denver took Allen like they should have? And then you get Rosen who then gets killed by his Oline not being able to block for him. How long does Rosen play without getting hurt? There are so many what if''s in life. A guy has to live in the real world of what it actually is.

 

I saw Allen do the same hurdle over a player at Wyoming. He didn't get injured and the game went on. People who have watched Allens career now what he is capable of. The guy is growing and learning the game at a very fast rate because he finally has an OC building an offense around him. Not trying to put a square peg in a round hole. An OC teaching him footwork and how to make reads. He is now just tapping the potential of Allen. Wait, it gets better. Just start enjoying the process, the kid is learning on the fly.

Whenever you get through your PMS, try and enjoy the Allen Show. He isn't going anywhere. 

 

P.S. They are having a sale on feminine products at Walmart. It sounds like you need to stock up.

Interesting approach. You disagree with my statement, which is a statistical fact, and proceed to call me a PMSing woman short on tampons, a hateful buckwheat and miserable Internet poster.  Very mature.

....exactly......self preservation is the key for the long haul.......I'd bet his gameness and moxy certainly inspired his teammates and earned some instant respect in the huddle...BUT....Josh's "package" is > Joe's "package"....move forward......

I thought he looked strong when he dragged Ingram for several yards on his back and was still able to get a throw off (albeit ill-advised) with the LB draped all over him and that horse collar by Barr showed it again. The kid is Big Ben with mobility and running ability. Very impressive. Lonely day for Barr in that film room.

My problem with this is the implication that most draft experts didn't like Allen - that's simply not true. 

 

Lots of draftniks loved him - Mayock and Kiper were both big fans.  Some even had him going #1 overall to Cleveland.

I recall many "experts" putting him among the top picks. Some even at #1. And most placed him with the Top 5 QBs to go. It's a few that said "project" and "bust" that the gloom'n'doom posters hatched on.

 

 

 

I live outside of Buffalo and something really weird happened...

 

everyone inside of Buffalo it seemed had a much lower expectation of Josh Allen than the rest of the nation did.

 

I know I was quite shocked looking at the message board after the draft and seeing the negativety

 

I actually came up with a theory that your sports media personnel (howard simon?) stated too much negativity and this turned into a psychological case study of sorts, where he or others actually changed the thinking in Buffalo on this guy Josh Allen.

Lot of people are bitter because their guy wasn't the pick  Each year this board would implode after the Bills didn't pick a qb .  Its the same every year  Then in the off season its the lamentation of how we passed on someone who did pan out.

Buffalo will look like a more desirable destination for free-agent WRs!

 

Edit: I was one of the posters who wanted to see Peterman get the 1st game start.  I'll say, simply, I was wrong!  Allen is clearly the best guy for the starting job.  I still think Peterman can become a good backup, but he has to prove it when it counts.  The TD against the Colts last year was great, but he has to play better and more consistently in games that matter to become starter material.  I don't want to write him off yet and still think he can develop his game - he's a young guy, too.  But, results matter.  Tough league.  Go Allen!!

Really happy with his performance and I’ll say the same of Allen that I did of Mayfield. Lots to like but still some concerns. It's early but the early returns are looking good.

But actually though - can we just be patient with one thing and not start the messiah conversation yet? I'm as excited as the next guy, and think he's been playing well, especially for a rookie that needs development. But considering it's only his third game and teams haven't had enough tape to really prepare for him, I'll be more willing to jump into the "superstar" moniker when it actually happens...

 

Let's give it a few more weeks, at least, but color me hopeful - the most I've been in 18 years.
