ChrisWatson#21 Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 I can’t say it enough that what a privilege it is to watch him play for our beloved Bills. We probably won’t see another QB like him in a Bills uniform for a very very long time after he is done. What a fun watch he is😎🍿 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Tim Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 I accept that Purdy has better numbers than Josh in some ways but if we are going to value to their team then Josh is clearly higher than Lamar or Jalen.

finn Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 20 hours ago, Doc said: With 3 more TDs Josh becomes first player in NFL history with 4 consecutive 40 TD seasons. If Allen wins MVP, this will be a key reason why. Scenario: Allen keeps scoring TDs and avoiding interceptions and the Bills win the division. His stats, especially that key one, plus the Cinderella Bills story, might be enough, especially if Purdy lays an egg against a very good Baltimore defense. But even if he doesn't, voters may ask, "Who is more essential to their team: Purdy or Allen?" The answer is pretty clear. Incidentally, Mahomes' rep really has taken a hit, hasn't it? I get a sense people are getting tired at worshiping at his alter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 On 12/18/2023 at 1:57 PM, transplantbillsfan said: This is getting really confusing for me. How in the world does anyone honestly think that Lamar, Tua, or Mahomes deserve Pro Bowl for the AFC over Josh? I say deserve, because we all know that the Pro Bowl is just a popularity contest, but if you're just looking at these players and their stats and what they've done for their teams in a vacuum, it's not even close. Josh no longer leads the NFL in total yards, but he's 50 yards behind Mahomes, who does. I accounted for sack yardage there, too, since sack yardage is usually accounted for in the passing game. Lamar is way behind Josh, Tua and Mahomes... like almost 200 yards behind Josh. Josh has 12 more TDs than Mahomes and Tua and 15 more TDs than Lamar. Mahomes and Tua only have 2 fewer turnovers than Josh and Lamar only has 4 fewer. I think of all QBs in the NFL, Josh would (or should) be 2nd in NFL MVP voting behind only Purdy, and I still think Purdy gets dinged with the roster he's playing on and the MVP candidate he's playing with. But I'm seriously so confused especially at the Lamar love this year. He's been average at best when compared with all these other QBs. If I had a real vote I'd vote CMC first and Josh 2nd.

CMC needs no explaination, but Tyreek was so good, it made people suddenly start talking about TUA as an MVP candidate last year... He's been on of the most impactful trade acquisitions in ages. A few years ago, I thought Cooper Kupp could've been MVP over Rodgers, but Tyreek makes a good case for a WR MVP too. That being said, I'd hate to see a Dolphins player win MVP, so screw him...

transplantbillsfan Posted December 24, 2023 Author Share Posted December 24, 2023 Funny how much that INT is going to hurt Allen. Really tough throw. Not necessarily a bad decision, just a bad throw. Regardless, 1st QB in NFL history with 40+ TDs in 4 consecutive seasons. That actually surprised me cause I thought Mahomes reached that. Plus... 1st and only QB in NFL history to run and pass for a TD in 11 games in a season. Survive and advance... 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This ***** ***** annoys me, Diggs was open it's not like he under threw him by a lot the DB actually made a hell of a play, Allen gets that a bit higher or the DB is a step late and Diggs is ***** gone. But no he not only makes it but makes a catch some of our WRs have failed to do routinely in games. Seriously Allen has any other QBs luck this season that's a TD, big gain, or a broken up pass. Hell Stick had an easy pick that got erased on ticky-tack BS defensive holding, and then on the second to last play of the game he threw that gets popped up with defenders around and no one came down with it. Let's not get started on the number of times Dak failed to directly throw it to a defender last week or I might lose my ***** mind.

Diggs was open if Allen could've gotten it to him. Problem is he was throwing the ball probably 60 yards across the field while fading away. I legitimately wonder if Allen put everything into that throw or not. As it was, that play was a 2nd and 7. If it were a 3rd and 7 we'd just be viewing it as a 41 yard punt. Problem was what the defense gave up much of the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our skill players are not going to make big plays happen all their own. Just in games against bad offenses he can afford to play more reserved, that's all.

We reversed course from last week as far as needing Allen to win. Case in point: Allen had 1 turnover while OTHER had 2 turnovers. Buffalo was on the road and lost the turnover margin 3 to 0. How often do teams win on the road when losing the turnover margin by that much? I was worried about this game immediately after that debacle last week and then even more after the Chargers fired Staley. Allen (and Oliver) carried us on his (their) shoulders and nothing else matters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKBillFan Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Josh writes his narrative. Yesterday being a case in point. He is a rollercoaster this season in particular, the superb mixed with some dross. He won't win MVP because the TO start is against him; one which he has created. McCaffrey or Hill should win it - as much as I like Purdy (more than most) a decent starting QB would be doing the same thing in that 49ers team. Take McCaffrey or Hill out of their respective teams and they look very different. And yes, to counter my first paragraph, the same goes for the Bills for Josh. He is the reason they are 9-6 this year, and not something like 4-11. But could also be argued he's the reason they're not 12-3 too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
