PirateHookerMD Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) https://www.pff.com/news/fantasy-football-what-we-learned-week-1-2019 No comment on Singletary or the Defense, just hate on Josh Allen in both segments. Buffalo What I think is real: Bad Josh Allen. He had two interceptions, two lost fumbles, and more mistakes that the Jets couldn’t capitalize on. He’s just not very good. … John Brown did what most of us thought Brown would do, scoring a long touchdown and leading the team in targets. He’ll be hit and miss, but the hits will be good. What I don’t: Good Josh Allen. In the fourth quarter, he led two scoring drives to ultimately win the game, rushing for one touchdown and connecting with Brown on the game-winning score. But there is just too much that is a mess about his game right now. Edited September 9, 2019 by PirateHookerMD 1 9

Logic Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Overall, I agree with you about PFF and their illogical hatred of Josh Allen. It's only fair to note, however, that this article pertains to fantasy football. I wouldn't start Allen just yet in fantasy, either, based on yesterday's game. 2 1

But there is just too much that is a mess about his game right now. Backhanded (at best) comments on what's real. Totally misses who got Brown the ball and just had to add "He'll be hit and miss (Brown)." I choose to ignore such lazy reporting as this. 1
Low Positive Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Its all just confirmation bias. If you had Josh scored low coming out, there is enough in the stats to confirm your bias. And before you scream "there is more to football than stats!", note that post is in a fantasy blog. Fantasy football is only stats. 5

jimmy10 Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 One way to guarantee clicks and eyeballs is to talk smack about the Bills and wait for the passionate fan base to show up. 3
Warren Zevon Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 "Fantasy Football What We Learned" Who cares? 6
MDH Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Say what you will about how messy Allen looks at times the kid has 4 fourth quarter comebacks in 11 games finished. The moment doesn't appear to be too big for him with the game on the line. He is also 6-5 in games started and finished. It might not be pretty and might be very frustrating once there's a very good team around him but he tends to play his best football at the end of games. Probably because he's thinking less and just making plays. 2

JoshAllenHasBigHands Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Isn't this really a fantasy football article? Wasn't Allen a top scoring FF QB towards the end of last year? This is a weird take. 2
SCBills Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Josh Allen is easily the most polarizing QB ive ever seen. Analytics guys hate him because he, up until yesterday, doesn't dink and dunk his way to 60% completion percentages. Draft guys apparently need to be right, while never admitting mistakes, so they hold onto this Wyoming view of Josh Allen. Then there's a handful of analysts that think he has superstar potential. Meanwhile, he somehow turns the ball over 4x yet wins the game and looks better than his draft counterparts Baker and Sam in Week 1. 6
