Josh Allen is THE reason the Bills are considered a legitimate Super Bowl contender, and Josh Allen will be THE reason they don’t even get there, much less win it.
Yes, we all love Josh. He is an unicorn of QB’s and has all the traits we Bills fans have been begging for for decades.
Yes, his amazing performances have titillated the whole football ball world (even in defeat) and has won so many games by his awesomeness.
But, he is THE cause for the Bills three loses this year. You can try and blame other players….the coaches….the play calling….even the massive amount of injuries.
But none of those come close to the damage Josh Allen has done, almost single handedly to prevent what should be a 9-0 record.
Miami game, he inexplicably threw a one hop pass on 4th down and goal at the Fins’ 2 yard line. A sure go ahead TD.
Against Green Bay, he tried his best to hand the game to the Packers with two boneheaded INT’s. The second one was inexcusable, 3rd and goal at GB 3 yard line that would have given the Bills a 34-10 lead. Instead, it breathed some life into the dormant Packers. Thankfully, the inept Packers just were too stinky to take advantage of Josh massive mistakes.
The Jets game, he correctly said that he “..played like ****”.
First INT in the red zone, and prevented the Bills from jumping to an early lead. The next drive, instead of being up 7-0 could have been 14-0.
His second INT handed the ball to the Jets at the Bills 19 yard line that even one of the worst QB’s in the league, Zach Wilson, took advantage of to take the lead for good.
The Minny game, the loss was almost ALL on Josh. THREE ****ING TURNOVERS in the second half.
TWO TERRIBLE INT’s, not only in the Red zone, but IN the Vikings END ZONE. Both of them inexcusable for a QB who is supposed to be one of the best in the NFL.
Earlier this year, a thread was started….
Mahomes has the easiest job in NFL history, and Allen’s still better……which was filled of hubris and nonsense (unfortunately all the posts were lost) with the thread starter flatly stating that (paraphrasing)….
‘Josh Allen is better than Mahomes and it’s not even close’
After too many idiots saying that Mahomes would regress after losing Tyreek Hill, what has REALLY happened is that Mahomes has shown WHY he is considered the best QB in the NFL, and with Allen’s recent regression to his rookie year mistakes, the reverse is true.
Mahomes is the best QB in the league over Allen, and it’s not even close.
Yes, the amazing GOOD of Allen and his playing style inevitably produces some of the worst boneheaded dumb plays.
Can he overcome his penchant for INT’s at the WORST possible time??? Can he come back from the QB with the MOST INTS’s in the NFL….and worse yet, the MOST Red Zone INTS’s???
No one has any idea. I certainly hope so.
This Bills team is one of the best in the NFL. The defense, despite the massive amount of injuries STILL is #2 in points allowed, only two tenths of a point behind the leader….16.8 PTS/G vs 16.6.
That is a championship level defense, and when Josh is not making HUGE mistakes, a championship offence.
Right now, the biggest obstacle to the Bills being the outright best team in the NFL in both performance and record, is JOSH ALLEN.
I have always been an extreme optimist for the Bills….and I still am when I predict they will go on a six-game winning streak and go into Cincy in week #17 with a 12-3 record.
But, so sad to say, the reality is that THE reason that may not happen is Josh Allen and that needs to be said.
