‘For much of the 2022 offseason following the Buffalo Bills’ devastating loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2021 AFC Divisional Round, the infamous “13 seconds game”, talk of Allen being on the same level, or even better than Mahomes, was being discussed on every form of media. Not that it took last night’s four-turnover performance to open people’s eyes, but I think even Bills fans are beginning to cool on the “this guy’s the best in the league” talk.’

Observations: Bills drop bitterly disappointing season opener to Jets in all-around failure
‘The Football Gods tried to hand the Bills a victory when Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers was lost for the game – and what is feared to be the season – after he led just three offensive plays, but the Bills simply refused to cooperate. Four turnovers committed by quarterback Josh Allen will rightfully be looked at as the primary reason the Bills lost, but this was a true team loss.’
Josh Allen's four turnovers lead to 'eerily similar' Bills loss to New York Jets
‘In his last three outings against the Jets, Allen is 63 for 102, for 588 yards with two touchdowns and five interceptions. He has been sacked 13 times in those games, including five Monday. That’s a passer rating of 63.68. The Bills are 1-2 in those games, losing the two contests on the road.’
Three questions: Contemplating why the Jets have Josh Allen's number
‘But his interceptions went overboard. There was no need for the deep heave into triple coverage in the first half. It benefited the field position but that’s beside the point. Allen faced pressure on the second INT from Quinnen Williams but there was no need to force the ball on second and 12 from the Jets’ 40. It sure looked like Trent Sherfield was open underneath. The third INT was more of a bad read than a greedy throw but he suggested he should have looked underneath on that one, too.’
