Can you remind us which of those 8 fumbles those were again? I don't know that it cost them a Super Bowl, but his fumble against the Texans resulted in a FG for Houston in a game the Texans won in OT. Quote

BananaB Posted August 23, 2023 Posted August 23, 2023 (edited) ***** last year, it’s over. Josh had a terrible oline, a lot of inconsistencies at WR and rookie OC. And an injury which in a recent interview he said he never threw a pass in practice for about 4 or 5 weeks…. If that was some of the other media darlings admitting that we would never hear the end of it. All the original doubters jump on Allen’s back the minute something goes wrong because they want to say I told you so. *****em Edited August 23, 2023 by BananaB Quote

I agree 100%. I would also add that the Bengals postseason success the last 2 years has been having the best postseasonn defense & their kicker is something like 21 for 21 on fgs. 1 1 Quote

One for the ages. The point that the postseason Joe Burrow supporters are missing here is that yeah Josh Allen turns the ball over more, but the dude also puts a lot of points on the scoreboard. Something that to this point, Joe Burrow hasn’t done and so far has been lucky enough not to be called on to do. if Allen was a single digit turnover quarterback, these last three years to go along with his 40+ touchdowns, he would likely be a three time MVP, and probably on his way to the GOAT quarterback status. In other words, those are some lofty expectations. i’m not saying there won’t be a year where Allen puts up 40 touchdowns and single digit turnovers. But it shouldn’t be the expectation. If Allen does put up single digit turnovers, those same folks shouldn’t be upset if he only totals 30 touchdowns on the season because he was being more cautious. 1 Quote

I much rather have a fumble. you basically have a 50-50 chance of recovering a fumble maybe better in this case since Allen a lot of the times is the first person aware of the fumble and in position to recover like his fumble at the goal line against the Lions for example.

If Allen does put up single digit turnovers, those same folks shouldn’t be upset if he only totals 30 touchdowns on the season because he was being more cautious. I agree with almost all of this, but part of the reason Burrow hasn’t been called on to put up tons of points is that he hasn’t turned the ball over and put his defense in terrible positions. In the Dolphins playoff game, Buffalo had to score more than 31 to win. Was that bad luck for Josh, or was it his own doing? Josh threw an interception that led to an 18 yard drive by Miami ending in a FG. Then, Josh threw another interception that led to another 18 yard drive by Miami. This one resulted in a TD. Then Josh fumbled, and Miami returned it for a TD. That’s 18 points directly attributable to turnovers by Allen. Miami scored 6 times in that game. Their scoring drives in terms of yards gained were 38, 18, 18, 8, 0 (defensive score), and 75. That’s one legit drive allowed by Buffalo. Josh, IMO, is either the second or third best QB in the game. Burrow is right there with him even though they’re very different players. Josh puts up bigger numbers, but he also takes more chances. If Burrow took more chances, he’d put up bigger numbers as well. It comes down to whether the juice is worth the squeeze. So far, Burrow has an AFC championship trophy and a blowout win over the Bills, so he’s got a legit argument for being the better QB. Josh has bigger numbers with fewer elite weapons, so he’s also got a legit argument. 1 Quote
Scott7975 Posted August 23, 2023 Posted August 23, 2023 Not all of them were his fault, but he did have some headscratchers last year. Especially in the redzone. It's those redzone ones I would like to see him cut down on. Quote

To hold Burrow to that standard or else hes's a glorified Trent Dilfer is LUDICROUS. Josh has one game, one game in his postseason career, where he played almost perfect and lost. That sucks. It happens and it's been talked to death. But to act as though he's been dragging the Bills for 4 years through these deep playoff runs is BANANAS. Josh played like ***** against the Bengals in 2022. The whole team sucked. We lost. Josh made CRITICAL errors vs the Dolphins the week before. It turned a running for the bus game into a dog fight. Josh was perfect in 2021. Josh played well vs the Colts in 2020. Hard fought game vs a good team. He was kinda bad vs the Ravens, and we needed a pick six to close it out (offense only put up 10 points.) He was meh vs the Chiefs in 2020 but that was a team loss, in which he takes his share of the blame as well. Josh was bad v Houston in 2019. He was on the wrong end of a comeback, and again, had several critical mistakes to lose. These things are all okay. Peyton Manning was one of the greatest QBs ever and his resume is STACKED with some ugly playoff moments. He still won two Superbowls. None of this means Josh isn't "clutch" or that he doesn't have a ton of "putting the team on my back" moments. But he ain't no Tom Brady yet either. 1 1 Quote

People don’t get this. They put the ball in the air a lot, it’s going to happen. The other guys are getting paid also. There were some ugly red zone picks, I just hope he cuts down on them, that’s what killed us. The rest I’m not too worried about. Edited August 23, 2023 by 4th&long Quote
