Allen is transforming into NEO from the Matrix...he is The One

[Big Turk]

Allen's performance in the playoffs was nothing short of transformational. It was a level of QB play that I don't think I have ever seen before in my life. 

 

It reminded me of Neo from the Matrix when Mopheus tells him at the beginning that once he believes he is The One, he is capable of things that nobody else is and that nobody has ever seen before.  He tells him "Don't think you are, know you are." 

 

Allen seems to have finally reached this level and has done so when the stakes are the highest, in the playoffs.  It is almost incomprehensible how a QB could post a cumulative rating of 149 in 2 playoff games, throw 8 TDs to 0 INTs, a total of 14 incompletions and still get bounced.

 

I think Allen channels this into next year and just starts destroying all the other "Agent Smiths" on other teams with purpose and ease...

Not to be pedantic, but HE is Mr. Anderson and he is destroying all the Agent Smiths.  Or maybe you are saying that he will destroy all the other QBs that are pretened Mr. Andersons.  That's fine.  As long as he doesn't destroy himself.

 

I do agree with the premise, however.  He could end up being the best QB of all time.  In 15 years we could be talking that way.  He cold be The One.

Haha sorry...I forgot Neo is Mr. Anderson to Agent Smith...it's been a while since I watched the movie, Allen's play in the playoffs just reminded me of that scene from the movie...

So we all have to remember though that having a new coordinator is going to take some time and there will be bumps in the road, especially early on.  I completely believe that Josh will put up 40+ touchdowns again, have over 4000 yards again and do everything that he has done the last 2 years (if not more) but it's not going to be all sunshine and rainbows every game.  It took Mr. Anderson a while to put everything together as well

Neo was the One in the Matrix series. One of my absolute fav film series period. Josh Allen has definite similar traits to Neo. Looks, charm, unreal physical abilities, Smarts, CONVICTION

 

so I get the analogy and I applaud it for the analogy.....wardrobe? Meh KEANU just sayin'.....

 

LOL Im messing with you. #17 and Britt have it ALL ........Im gonna leave it that

 

Thank goodness Josh Allen is level headed enough to not allow all this adoration to change him or go to his head. His family is great and That is a huge part of it. 

 

#17 in a black trench,  black sunglasses  in a "come hither" finger gesture...aww hell yeah LOL what a great image 🙂

Not necessarily, especially considering Dorsey was already there for several years and is simply stepping into a role versus changing things completely.  Sure he will have some new ideas and different ways of doing things at times, but he would be crazy to try and completely change the offense after seeing what Allen accomplished with Daboll the past 2 years.  

 

If they brought in a new OC from outside with new terminology and a completely different scheme then your point would be valid.  I don't think it is quite as valid in this situation. One of the reasons you promote from within is so that isn't as big of an issue.

I definitely could've been more clear in my statement - I'm more hoping that the pitchforks and inevitable fire Dorsey talk is relatively tame when a game early on doesn't go the way we all want/expect, that's all

I hate it when people steal my s**t.  I suggested this metaphor on this very board weeks ago.

 

All good, @Big Turk -- but I'm not giving you credit for the idea.

Hahaha, great minds think alike!  I honestly did not see that post, but it's funny how it fits so perfectly that others have the same idea

Actually, I'm thinking that Josh Allen is a cross between Joe Montana and Jack Reacher (not the Cruise one, the Amazon Prime series).  

 

- He's a student of the game.

- He is sold out and dedicated to constantly improve.

- He is smarter than many realize (highest Wonderlick of his QB class by far - an imperfect measure I realize).

- He has deceptive speed and can run away from LBs, which isn't supposed to happen.

- He can stiff arm and throw people down.

- He can jump over you if you go low on him.

- He can absolutely break a DBs ankles like he did in NE.

- He has a ridiculous arm.  Seemingly once a game he makes a throw that few QBs could make.

- He has incredible escape-ability within the pocket and almost never goes down to the first guy.

 

There have been QBs that had some of these attributes, but never all of them.  He really could end up as the greatest ever.

I've lost count of the # of "Bills window is closing" comments I've seen on twitter & the rest.

 

Please.  With Allen, the window is wide open and will be for a decade.  He is the one.

Yep, a reminder that Aaron Rodgers didn't make his first Pro Bowl until his age 26 season, nor win his first MVP until his age 28 season.  Our boy Josh is just getting started.

I made this analogy with my brother and father @Deadstrokewell over a year ago.   I told them that after the Broncos game and that how everything had slowed down and his processing skills while evading the rush reminded me of NEO in the Matrix.    

 

I do believe he is the one and I do believe that he will bring multiple Lombardi trophies to Buffalo.

[BuffaloMatt]

Edibles are fun . . . 

[GoBills808]

Yes agree

 

he has cracked the code. His ceiling is now best QB in NFL history and that’s no hyperbole
