Well let me clarify. I believe Allen is the 2nd best qb after Mahomes. Mahomes is the best player in the league right now. So mix in a few position players between were Mahomes and Allen on the list and that’s what I meant from my comment. Appreciate a civil back and forth with differing opinions that doesn’t include any derogatory comments. Likewise respect your pov as well. Hey maybe he’ll be the unanimous #1 after next season! 👍

Yup. 3 losses where one win could’ve locked up the #1 seed. I didn’t comment on the bolded part so no opinion there. However he’s far from the #1 player in the league imho.

Yeah he does some great stuffs. Unfortunately he also mixed in some not so great stuffs that costs games. So not really amazing every weekend.

Every weekend huh? Hmmm 🤔

I’m with you on this point. Very interested to see how he performs after one of those studs WRs leaves.

That’s too early for a game between two of the top teams. It’d be a much better game after week 4 when both teams are up to speed.

Surprised how low Burrow is from these samples

I did see him as more tentative and indecisive in the Cincy game. The whole team was drained at that point so he probably felt the same. His inconsistency started in the 2nd half of the Packers game and he was never able to recapture that early season form. Hopefully he’ll clean things up next season otherwise it’ll be another early exit.

It appears to me that you just don’t like his style. Maybe it’s too flamboyant for your personal taste. You’d prefer he’d be a low key nose to the grindstone type that would represent the blue collar mentality of this area. That’s just a personal preference man. It has nothing to do with his ability on the field. As much as we like to think we know our star players personally we really don’t and sometimes their personality rubs us the wrong way. It doesn’t make those actions, whatever they may be, a detriment to their playing ability. Let’s chalk this thread up as one of those that should’ve been private thoughts. Cheers!

What does losing his edge mean to you? There are definitely things that Allen can work on to improve his game.

I know this feeling

I think Burrow was also there. This is all really silly. Young rich athletes attending popular events. Omg the sky is falling!

Would it have been better if he had a red white and blue lunch pail in those pics?

This can’t be. People on here keep insisting it’s so much easier for their qb.

I’m not sure where you’re going with this but it’s not important. I’ve said Mahomes is the better qb (the best currently) and also Allen can win a sb with the Bills. The first part is not subjective and the second part is because I’m a fan after all.

Which part? The part where I said Mahomes is better? I mean the metrics for qbs are championships, stats, win/loss records. One guy has more than the other but it’s somehow subjective to say that guy is better? If what you mean by subjective is whether Mahomes would be good with the Bills then you can make that same argument for anybody in the history of the NFL. Systems are great. Coaches are great. But players are above all because they execute on the field to win. A great player is going to be great no matter where he goes.

With a little objectivity the answer would be simple. Covered with fan biases the answer becomes convoluted with what if scenarios. Go back to the Divisional round, in KC’s first SB run, against Houston. Receivers dropped passes, defense and special teams blunders put them in a 24-0 hole in the 1st quarter. Yet by halftime KC was leading. With any objectivity you can see Mahomes is special. Rises to the occasion when things look bleak for his team time and time. He is better than our qb. It’s ok to admit that. It doesn’t mean Allen isn’t great in his own way. The Bills can win a championship with Allen.

Not sure if Lamar is a top 10 qb but he is definitely a top 3 rb.

Same here. Mahomes may be the best to ever play but he isn’t Buffalo’s. Allen is the fit here and he just needs to win 1 so we can put all this to rest. Bills fans can finally get out of the rings-envied sports bar and lose that championship inferiority complex.

I suspect you shall again…about this time next year.

Allen is a great qb. He’s a perfect fit for the Bills. But too many here are not objective when comparing him to the best in the league right now. I agree with all your points. It doesn’t make for a bad Bills fan to acknowledge another qb is better. Of all the ridiculous stats that Mahomes has the most impressive to me is that he leads in comebacks of 10pts+ all time at something like 58%. The next closest is Brady at 37% or something. Having the clutch gene is not something that can be taught. He just has it. I hope Allen and the Bills can improve enough to get 1 ring. I don’t need him to be the best qb in the league. Being the best qb for the Bills is more than enough enjoyment as a Bills fan.

It’s a good thing you feel this way because the Chiefs would never trade Mahomes for Allen.

Right on. 🍺

I won’t 2nd the notion that he’s slow at processing. I don’t think that’s true. But he does seem frantic deer in headlights mode in situations where being calm and cool would probably serve him and the team better.

You mean like how Burrow did it in the AFCCG that killed a late drive with an intentional grounding? C’mon. I’m one of the biggest Allen critic on here and even I think you can’t take that part of his game away. Why would you? It’s a huge asset for the team. What you’d want is a middle ground. Run and slide. Run out of bounds. Avoid contact until absolutely necessary like in the playoffs. Kind of like the other qb that played in the AFCCG.
