Is "earning it" a game-to-game thing?

 

Judging by the tone of the gameday threads, it's apparently a snap-to-snap thing 🙄

Geez, certain poster in here makes me long for the days of @Gene1973hyping up the Fins all last year and our inevitable collapse down the stretch. 
 

Yikes.

Yep.  Point differential was big if I remember correctly.

This is the quote I was responding to: Agree, if Allen plays like crap again this week there are no more excuses. It will be time to accept that he's simply not good and behind closed doors in Orchard Park there will be serious buyers remorse knowing that he had a fluke year during the weird fanless covid year.

 

 

 

 

You are correct. I read it but didn't take it literally. I interpreted it and added my own biases. Sorry.

It's really this simple, until Allen proves last year wasn't a fluke he's the same guy we saw in 2018/2019 right now....extremely erratic with a few glipses of greatness sprinkled in. You don't pay $250M for that, not even close and we have the right to demand better as fans since there were many of us that understood last year could have been an outlier and not really who Allen is. And you can't make the comparison to midseason last year since he came out guns blazing in the first four games.

 

He's been terrible from the get go and now we also now Pittsburgh isn't nearly as good as we thought either given Carr's performance yesterday. Honestly Allen is lucky he didn't have 3 or 4 INT yesterday but obviously it's not under the microscope so to speak because our defense gave one of the best performances of the McD/Frazier era.

 

Allen must get his head right quickly starting this week.

Washington has a good dline and but has struggled mightily overall and is lucky to be 1-1 right now. And even if they were a top defense Allen played extremely well against many top 10 defenses last year and has to show that again given his contract. Really hope he can turn it around and come out firing.

🙄🤫🤮🤪 I don’t have anything else to say. LOL

You are aware in 2018-2019 he played with no skill talent not named Zay Jones currently in the National Football League right 🙄

It's probably an overreaction but your " the Bills and Allen will figure it out" thinking can be similarly a positive overreaction. There no facts in your conclusion or projection. Sure, you could be right and I hope you are! Just saying it cuts both ways. Others like myself aren't so quick to believe "it will all get figured out." That's ok too right? The fact remains the Bills offense and Allen have been mediocre at best. Let's stick with the facts...

If Allen wasn’t the best player on the field they lose to the Colts in the playoffs a fact that is easily forgotten by most

I just arrived here directly from the Browns fan melee in Cleveland thread in OTW. You could probably take ALL of them! Maybe even lock somebody in one of the ample porta potties and tip it over! 

[Success]

I'd actually say that if Allen plays great this week, we have to just accept that he's the awesomest.

I was watching the Manning’s during the game tonight and the was that Detroit defended Rodgers was almost the same as defenses are doing with Allen - dropping 7 or 8 with 2 players deep.  Peyton talked about the importance of a check down game or calling a running play.  He said that playing that type of defense is basically saying “we don’t think you’re patient enough to check it down and will force it in double coverage.”

 

I think that Beasley and Sanders could be really helpful here
