Would you settle for a 2017 article?

If the last generation of great passers was typified by world-class surgeons—Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees—diagnosing defenses and dissecting them with painstaking precision, Allen arrives in the operating room with a bowhunting knife and a bottle of Wild Turkey from which he takes generous slugs. Even the NFL’s best improvisers—Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson and Russell Wilson—work through a flow chart on any given play. Allen’s options, though, can seem wider, perhaps infinite. Allen represents an outlier among outliers.

 

The thing is, Allen aspires to be a world-class surgeon and work through a flow chart.  He's not there yet but he's getting much closer.  But when all that breaks down - he still has his Bowie knife and that bottle of Wild Turkey in his back pocket.

Oh dear.  Who is that Josh Allen is pwn'ing?  At least it didn't show his number.

Ditto. I love reading speculation about a sporting event that happened a year ago.

I really like the sentence before that one. 

 

Going to Allen after the last might-have-been-franchise quarterback in Buffalo, conservative veteran Tyrod Taylor, was like waving goodbye to the kiddie roller coaster and hopping on the screamer that barely passes its daily safety inspections.

 

I think that's how most of us feel on Sundays.

What an awesome way to spend 10 minutes of your morning.

 

Thanks for posting that.

Surprised that article didn’t include anything about the donations? It referenced the Seahawks game, so it was written this week, maybe before that blew up, but I would have expected them to go back and edit it. Maybe they didn’t get permission from Josh?

It was published in print last week, before the SeaSnakes game.  Nov 1 or 2 I think.  It's just the online version that came out this week.

Thank you @Hapless Bills Fan for the link!

Fantastic article! Best I’ve ever read about our ‘Experience’!

 

Im comfortable in my wrinkled man skin to proclaim a mancrush on Josh Allen.😳

and did he have as good a follow up game as that Dolphins defender he "blessed" the week before?

An under-appreciated side-effect of the Josh Allen Experience: "motivating defenders the following Sunday since 2018"

What's interesting about this is the guys Allen was apparently at that camp with - Tennessee's Jarrett Guarantano, Notre Dame's Brandon Wimbush, TCU's Kenny Hill and Indiana's Richard Lagow.

 

Who?

Great article.

If one play embodies the chaotic, poetic, and befuddling nature of the Josh Allen Experience, perhaps it was that beautiful facemask penalty, on which the quarterback was less Joe Cool and more Chuck Norris. “It looked like a bar fight,” Bills general manager Brandon Beane says. “Like he was being jumped, and he’s got one hand tied behind his back. When [dude] gets close, he goes, I’m going to sling him. And he rag-dolled him!” Which is to say, Josh Allen did something unlike anything anyone in football has seen. Again.
