I saw on twitter that Milano is the number ranked lb in the league. Don't know the source or validity. All I know is the dude is a f....ing stud.

Class act you are. I said I'd be he first to praise Allen when he plays well. Today, he was fantastic. I couldn't be more happier as a Bills fan to see it. Difference between me and many others on here is I'm not afraid to criticize poor play. Good response. I wonder if it's even worth responding to such ignorance.

I don't care about that. It would be gravy. I'm just very pleased to see Allen play well. He was every bit the QB of last year. The Bills will be tough to beat with Allen playing like this and the way the defense is playing.

The Bills are back baby!

I agree Bill.

Yes! It's fun to watch.

I'm stunned. Feels like we are losing.

Looked like we have a game.

Bills Trying to give the game away.

Great vision and movement by Allen too! So far this is fun.

Bills getting the calls for once.

Fumble! Was he's knee down?

Agree. It's great to see.

I can't see how he made the first down. Bills got a big break. That was a bad PI call.

It wasn't just the throw. It. wss Allen avoiding the rush and passing on the move that made it more impressive

Let's go D.

Josh of last year ia back!

Happy to see Sanders get the Td

Wow! Allen looked fantastic. That's what we've been waiting for.

Big first down! Great play by Allen.

You make some good points. I'm not a huge fan of the no back 5 WR formation. I believe the Bills should present defenses with a threat of a run game, should do a little more RPOs to keep teams honest, and roll out Allen more. He can improvise which is a skill set of his. Lastly, a little less of Allen just running up the gut and between tackles. If Allen gets back to last years form it's hard not to let him sit back and rip the ball accurately to his talented receivers. Can't wait to see Allen get his swagger back. Hoping the Wash game will be the perfect storm.

Terry McLaurin is the best receiver for WFT. Wondering if Tre is going to shadow him? Usually the Bills don't employ this strategy. However, outside of McLaurin the WFT doesn't have a lot of WR threats. I think it would be a good idea to have Tre shadow him. Any thoughts?

Fair enough and good explanation. I really didn't see an "over hyped" Allen that led to his mediocre play. Imho, it waa Pitts great D and game plan, vice versa, no run attack, and porous Oline. Maybe I'm wrong. I don't think any knowlesgable football fan questions Allen's talent and potential. He does have a small sample of greatness. The last few game he's played aren't ringing endorsements of being the top QB in the league. I think he can be one of the top 5 in today's NFL. However, he has to earn it on the field.

Pretty solid post. I agree and disagree with it. Game one: was a totally team loss. Allen looked pretty bad and there were contributing factors which you laid out. What surprised me was his " yips" and poor decisions. Game two: I disagree with him being "shell shocked." He's been in the league long enough not get to this point. The Dolphins D isn't all that. They are ok perhaps a tad above average. He didn't face relentless pressure. Imho, you could see He was off, lacking confidence, anticipating the rush, jittery in the pocket, and throwing inaccurately. He was better in the second half but still not great. His first drive was very good. At some point, I felt like the dolphins were deflated and the Bills took advantage of that. Disagree with the " hero ball" mentality. I think this is where Allen has grown by leaps and bounds. He frequently throws the ball away and lives for another play. I didn't see any " hero ball" plays vs Miami.

At what point does a slump become regression? Also, one can say he under preformed vs Balt and KC in the playoffs. At some point, we need to see a much better performance from Allen.
