He was 6 - 6 for 69 yards then he scored on a 4th down leap into the end zone. That cut the score to 13 - 10. And while Allen's INT's were bad and represented lost opportunities none of them were in the Pat's red zone nor did any of his INT's give the Pats the ball in our Red Zone. Allen had a poor game against the Pats. Darnold has had an historically horrific game against the Pats. The only reason that drive meant anything is because the defense kept it close. Allen tried to give the game away in the 1st half. At least one of Allen's ints. cost us a td. He had Zay wide open for a td. That hurt. A lot. Only having our defense made it a respectable game, not Allen. And I've said before, I like Allen and glad to have him. But it's still too early to say one is better than the other. One sucked more than the other vs. the pats, terrible comparison. Imo. 2

BuffaloFan68 Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Jets are ruining Darnold = damaged goods. I’m so glad we got Josh & not Darnold 1

Archie Manning, Dan Fouts and many others were great QBs hampered by bad organizations. I prefer Josh "not the other" Allen over Darnold, but it is far from a certainty he will be the better QB. By this metric Ws and Ls Lamar Jackson is the best of the QBs last year .. and I just don't see it. Rosen looks shot, but the rest are still up for debate.

It's funny, for the entire year before that draft when watching them all play college ball, I thought that Allen would be a disaster and that Darnold was the closest to a sure thing that any QB had been for awhile. Glad I was wrong. You never know how QB's will turn out. Edited October 22, 2019 by dgrochester55

We almost did this to Allen last year with a trash OL and it is criminal for a team to do. QBs stand no chance with no OL 1 2

I think the difference is that Allen was turned down by just about every college and has always been told he sucks, yet he keeps believing. Has that inner something to tune it out and keep going. I do feel for this kid, but he needed to learn to just shhhhhh. No excuses when you get beat, just learn from it. The NYC press is going to be brutal. 2
LSHMEAB Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 I REALLY don't understand the fascination with comparing Allen to the other 4 2018 first round QB's. What difference does that really make? Maybe they all bomb. Maybe they all eventually succeed We don't win a prize if Jackson, Rosen, Darnold and Mayfield fail. It means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things. I look around the league at the great QB's; Rodgers, Wilson, Brees, Brady, and Mahomes. They've proven what they're about. I'd like to see Allen reach that level. I have my doubts, but that's the company I want to see the Bills starting QB join. 2 2

I'd like to see Allen reach that level. I have my doubts, but that's the company I want to see the Bills starting QB join. It is because so much fuss was made of the Bills picking Allen and so many comparisons about how he was one of the worst QBs of that 2018 draft class. The national media taking every op to pump up or excuse the other QBs while throwing constant shade on Allen. Just yesterday while writing up the Dolphins game the reporter for NFL.com wrote that Allen was exciting and you never know if one of his passes was going to hit his receivers or a fan in the front row.... It is these things that drive the debates and comparisons, but it would be nice if eventually looking back on that 2018 draft class folks talk about it being a good one with Allen in that conversation. A ways to go before that, but that is my hope. 4
Success Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 QBs get a pass against that D. He was awful, but it doesn’t mean he isn’t good. 1
