okay i’ll try to answer you:

1. There is 87% of the regular season to go. I think any serious “concern” is premature.

2. Are there any Bills’ units at or above standards? Yes. The entire defense.

3. Don’t take it personally. A few years ago there was a small cadre of posters that griped all year, starting in the preseason. And they all used the same term - “concern.” So it’s stuck in my mind now. 

That's fair. What's not fair is using the word "serious."

Well if your concern wasn’t serious why make the thread?

Thanks for asking.

 

JA isn’t above critique. And yes, he’s been in a slump to start the season (although he did look like he started to snap out of it in the 2nd half of the Dolphins game. Time will tell).

 

That said, it’s the overreach by some. As @JoPoy88 said, being concerned after two games is premature. Respectfully, I don’t agree with you that the concern is valid right now. Why? Because even the greats have games or even a few weeks in a row where they don’t look great.

 

You mentioned that the norm should be him playing great. I agree. That said, part of the norm is also expecting clunkers and even extended slumps from time to time without sounding the alarm. Last year, which we both agree was a great year for Allen, included about a month long slump for him. The key was that he was able to push through it and still win games.

 

Again, it’s normal for franchise players to have clunkers or go through slumps, it’s how they respond to them that makes the difference. JA has the motivation, character, work ethic and drive to push through this just like he has when he’s gone through it before.

That's fair. Solid post.

To start a discussion about what intelligent Bills and football fans think about Allen. To get a discussion and various viewpoints. I think the thread has accomplished that. You have offered little but personal attacks. It's all good here.

Wondering if Allen plays poorly vs Washington will anyone be concerned? I know I will be. I think it's important that we see a better Allen this game. No more excuses.

You are the only one making excuses.

So funny to see cam newton fans here.

Well you got your viewpoints. I’ll save my pearl clutching until they’re 3-5 or worse after 8 weeks.

 

and you think disagreements with your half-baked thread are personal attacks? Report me then.
