Josh Allen AFC Offensive POW Again (Week 11)!

[finn]

Adding to his record number of AFC Player of the Week awards.

I'd still trade him for a couple average DL rotational pieces and an unspectacular "everyone eats" WR.  Josh consumes significant cap space and freeing that up would allow us to invest in a sea mediocre JAGs at important skill positions.

Guy should have been benched this week, and he totally redeems himself.

 

Kidding aside, this moves Josh into the top 20 for most OPOWs ever.  Jim Kelly has one more than Josh at this point, Matt Prater two more.  Aside from Prater, only other active player with more is Aaron Rodgers.  Good company:

Two observations:

1. There are a bunch of kickers on that list, way too many. That seems very lazy on the part of the people selecting them.
2. Am I seeing it correctly, Patrick Mahomes not on that top 50 list? That too seems a little crazy/off?

They should probably sit him this week after throwing those two INTs.

[Shortchaz]

He’s a pitcher that needs to throw his way out of a slump

Most weeks, isn't a kicker the most likely POW? I mean, maybe lazy, but most weeks a kicker likely is the right choice for special teams POW. I didn't look closely enough at the list, but I'd assume that QBs are the most common OPOW, just seems likely that typically a QB is the right choice; would you call that lazy also?

[Captain Hindsight]

He continues to look like a better pick than Rosen

[BRH]

The amazing thing about that list is, unless I read it too fast, Ronde Barber has more DPOWs than any player in history not named Lawrence Taylor.

 

He was a great player but I would not have had that on my bingo card.

Wrong Josh

Wait! Wait!  Lets merge with that other ground breaking great thread "Time to bench Josh Allen"

Apparently Daunte Culpepper has more OPOWs than Mahomes.

[YoloinOhio]

Crazy that we are so used to this that this thread is only 2 pages. 

[Kirby Jackson]

He’s in his 8th year. This is the 17th time that he has been named the AFC’s OPOW. 🤣🤣

[stevewin]

Its crazy how every week he seems to break some record or move up in some career list with such relatively few seasons

7 more weeks - he'll be in the top 10 by end of regular season 

[Dr.Sack]

Diggs has as many babies born this year as Allen has AFC player of the week.

[Bills!Win!]

Sometimes I have to pinch myself that we actually get to watch Josh Allen every week and he’s our guy on our team.

 

 

Sometimes I have to pinch myself that management has been completely inept and has not surrounded him with the talent he needs
