Allen was the best QB, through 2 playoff games, in NFL history. He gave his team a 3 point lead with 13 seconds left. He never saw the ball again and his season ended. **** off Let it out.

Do you really claim that Mahomes is better because Chiefs have won the game? If you're starting a team from scratch which QB do you want? Both are great. Both are in the superstar class. But I wouldn't trade Allen for Mahomes straight up. Let's not overlook the fact that Reid and the Chiefs had a very good team before Mahomes arrived with Alex Smith at QB. 11-5 in 2015, 12-4 in 2016 and 10-6 in 2017. The improvement Mahomes provided was marginal but the margin they needed to get them over the hump and into the Super Bowl and a win there. What did the Bills do before Allen? No playoff since 1999 that's what. What would they have done without him this year? Something like 7-10. If he's not the MVP, the one player most important to his teams success then nobody is. Josh elevates the performance of the players around him at a very high level. Mahomes also does this but with the Chiefs its a little different because, like the Patriots used to be with Brady, their offense presents match up problems and confusion for defenses that Mahomes exploits. What the Bills need to get over the hump here is a bruiser at RB and an offensive line upgrade on the interior and game plans that put less wear and tear on Allen going forward, and a defense that can make the big stop in the playoffs against a great team when the games on the line.

What I’ve been saying Pat is a damn good player but he from the moment he started walked into about as perfect a situation as any young starter could get … with a hall of fame te and one of the fastest receivers in nfl history…in addition his head coach is known as one of the great offensive gurus and QB coaches in NFL history To compare Pat to Josh is like two kids in school who study for the SATs one gets private tutoring sessions from a teacher whose administered the test…while the other guy lives at the library studying like crazy….to say they both started their careers vastly different is an understatement 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about kicking the ball along the ground to kill about 4-5 secs and then just hold guys on there line and take the 5 yards. DUMB coaching killed us , only mistake Allen made was losing coin toss. Highest QB rating ever in the playoffs, just inexcusable for this season to be over in the 2nd round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 They're both great players and the two best QBs in the league. They each have their own styles, and those styles work for them. It's really hard to say one is better than the other at this point. Josh was incredible last night. So was Mahomes. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an under appreciated part of Allen's game. Unlike Rogers who seems a bit selective in who he throws the ball to Allen will throw it to whoever is getting open. And if he senses an opponents weakness in covering a guy, even if it's more of a role player, Allen will mercilessly exploit it. Think about how just this last season Beasely, McKenzie and now Davis have had monster games because Allen kept going to them as they were beating the coverage. This shows a level of trust that would make any receiver want to play for the Bills and Allen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squib gives your opponent the ball on the 40 or 50 yard line without killing much time sometimes…clock doesn’t start until the ball is touched. You also can’t intentionally hold players to manipulate clock anymore…they closed that loophole real fast after Harbaugh got away with it a few years ago. The real head scratcher is why we rushed 4 to me. I guess cuz 1 sack ends it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of stud QB's have never won a SB, not many care about such players. People don’t care about Dan Marino?

That’s what stings me most after this one. Because fans don’t know this rule changed and it’s a 15 yard penalty now and coaches do lol each time you intentionally hold multiple receivers in that situation it’s a 15 yarder. So they’re in fringe fg range after doing it twice with probably time for 1-2 plays and a fg. You could probably get away with holding one guy but idk how much that helps.

Since1981 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Josh is top 3 but he also has a style about him that non-Bills fans like. Josh has a likeable humble personality that isn’t Rogers/Brady. I’m thrilled he’s ours. I wouldn’t trade him for any other QB today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Dolphin and Bills fans talk about are the glory years with Kelly & Marino. And when I watch the talking heads spout off about QBing today they often talk about Marino. I guess this is the new ultra passive aggressive way to trash Allen -"hey Allen is great but because his team isn't winning super bowls nobody cares".

zow2 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Allen is a stud, Allen is amazing. Now Josh Allen needs to overcome something that is hard to put your finger on. It's the penchant for the Bills (and Buffalo teams in general) to fail in the biggest of moments. They can get there....they can get to the brink of a Championship, but he has to figure out a way to kick the door down. This year, with his play in the playoffs,,,I feel that he kicked it down, but his coaches failed him.. Which again, circles back to a Buffalo sports intangible that he will have to overcome to get a Super Bowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get you're just messing around, but in all fairness IF blame was to be assigned, Gabe has to take some of it. He was beating his guy mercilessly on the last drive and really in the last 20 minutes of the game. But he shined the most in the last 1:54 of the game, where he caught 4 balls for 86 Yards 21.5 YPC and 2 TDs. The only yards on the last drive that he didn't account for was the 16 yard catch by Sanders and that's only because he took himself out for a play because he was gassed. Loved how he stepped up during the biggest moments in this game. TD before the half to tie it, 75 yard TD after going down 9 and 2 TDs on our last 2 drives when a FG wouldn't have helped us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFunPolice Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I can't think of a currently active QB in the NFL that I would take over Allen. Allen has become much more of a "real QB" reading defenses, distributing the ball, and using his immense physical talents to get out of trouble only when needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Frazier still needs to be questioned on why the secondary was playing 30 yards off the LOS. It shows that you are a coward and tells your players that you have zero trust in them. I’m still hoping Frazier is fired or hired as a HC somewhere.
