Franchise in trouble- Josh Allen has regressed

[RoscoeParrish]

We were dominated in all 3 phases today, but this season and franchise has always been about Josh Allen being an elite QB and taking us to the next level. 
 

It is safe to say he regressed this year and today was the nail in the coffin.
 

Sure you can blame the OC, but 10 points at home in a playoff game falls on the QBs shoulders in a MAJOR capacity. 
 

If this board voted on Cinci having 27 points before kickoff, most would have taken it. 
 

I am afraid Allen’s career will be an above average quarterback who shuffles between signs of greatness, signs of mediocrity, and signs of someone with zero offers out of high school. 
 

He is NOT even in the league of Mahomes and Burrow and today solidified that. 
 

He had as many boneheaded turnovers this year as his rookie season.  He led the league in fumbles and INTs.  He scored 10 points at home in a playoff game when he was preseason MVP and this team was preseason Super Bowl favorites. 
 

He regressed.

This loss has very little to do with Josh Allen, But  everything to do with being out schemed and dominated on both sides of the line !

Well he isn’t as good at the QB position as Burrow and Mahomes are currently, that’s for sure. 

[BillsFanSD]

There really wasn't much Allen could have done today, at least from that one viewing of the game.  He took care of the ball until the garbage time int.  Had some he'd like to have back.  Had some drops.  Had some nice ones.  

 

He wasn't winning this game.

[Big Turk]

No.

Josh is easily in the same league as Mahomes and Burrow. Put him on either of those teams and he would be in the AFC championship game.

[Dick_Cheney]

Injury, coaching, scheme.

 

Allen can be a lot better from what this year was. But he can only do so much on his own. And that's the problem. He's the kind of player who will do it all on his own if he is forced to. He shouldn't be in that position as much and as often as he is.

[Coach Tuesday]

Lol they literally gave him no help and asked him to carry the entire team on his back and he almost did it.

[Dr.Sack]

I’m sorry Josh Allen is not Superman. 

[SoCal Deek]

I blame it on those stupid commercials. Once he started doing commercials…Josh was never the same. 

[CDogg20]

Hes regressed because he’s running for his life back there. He’s sensing pressure before its there because we have NO ONE to block for him. This needs to be addressed like rocky…asap

[MAJBobby]

So glad they got run out of the stadium if they were losing. Exposes how bad the construction of this team is. Need a real OL, Real WR2  protect Josh and Give Josh weapons. We have the worst Weapons group in the playoffs this year and one of the worst OLs. Stop spending All you premier assets in Defense. They are irrelevant in the Modern NFL when facing a top end Offense.

In an entire internet of foolish comments your post manages to stand out as particularly stupid. 

[Buffalo_Stampede]

Franchise in trouble? And I thought the drought was bad. 
 

Being good sucks more than being bad.

[Over 29 years of fanhood]

Is there a GM in the league would take Allen over Burrow or Mahomes right now? I can’t imagine

Worst assessment I’ve read all year.  Sorry, just is.

Burrow has an embarrassment of riches on offense. I love Diggs. But Chase is definitely better. Mixon can be a factor. They get the ball out quick. 

 

Burrow played better lately. But the 2 and 3 spots are always juggling. Mahomes is the clear # 1.

Give him a oline and a creative coordinator, then get back to me

Seriously, regardless of what you think of Allen, the pass protection today was disgraceful.  Worst game of the season by far on this metric, and this line hasn't been good all year.

I understand your points but I think this was on Dorsey’s inexperience and unfortunately, our side

receivers just never developed like expected. I am much more disappointed by a D that invariably costs us in the playoffs.  We were terrible getting sacks.  Terrible after all that money.  Burrows was barely touched.    Frazier’s time has come and when you compare our offensive game planning to KC’s, Cincys, we, Beane , have much work to do. You are in a cold weather stadium , yet they play terrible in cold weather.  Crazy.
