Yet the Bills had 3 first half TD's. You might want to check out today's box scores. It was a terrible day for a lot of QB's including some of the best in the business.
I had concerns to. Hell, I have Jekyll/Hyde mood swings about 10 times in games like this.
As an aside after the Bills game we all watched the Chiefs/Boncos & Ravens/Browns games. Of curse we weren't obsessing over every throw by those QB's like we do with Allen's thorws. But we all noticed how poorly Jackson, Mahomes & Nix played at times. That's the norm in most NFL games even for great QB performances. We also all agreed tat Cleveland did not have NFL QB's on the field.
Allen played great. For sure he had rough spots during the game but so does almost every QB. This weird obsession with expecting Allen to be perfect through the whole game is bewildering to me. Even in the first half when Allen's play was uneven the Bills still scored 3 TD's and Allen was a big reason for that.
The more correct and honest observation is that Allen was uneven early and then went full beats mode. Some people throw around "awful" way to easily in describing Allen's play.
As long as they keep Carolina in the NFC Allen should be okay. And what does losing to Atlanta have to do with being offensive player of the week? Transitive properties don't apply in the NFL.
100% this and it drives me crazy. Does Allen miss throws, yes. Does Allen throw bad picks, yes. Does Allen miss open receivers, yes. But so does every other QB. And most of those can't touch Allen when he explodes like today.
Looking at the box scores today it was a really bad day for QB's. Jackson had 2 picks and Darnold had 4! As of today Allen is AFC offensive player of the week and it's not close.
No fan of Bean but he can survive the misses because he also has hits in the top 4 rounds. If Bishop continues to develop and is a fixture at safety for years to come then the potential Coleman bust is offset by the Bishop hit.
My complaint about Bean is more about his roster structure and FA acquisitions. He's part of the decision process that favors the D and didn't see a need to replace Diggs/Davis with an equally productive pair of WR's.
