Normalizing the abnormal

Does anyone else feel like we, as fans, have become so accustomed to Josh Allen’s greatness that we’ve started to take the extraordinary for granted?

 

This thought hit me during the 4th quarter when Allen unleashed a 40+ yard pass on the run that narrowly missed connecting with Morris. The reaction from some fans was disappointment - almost scoffing that Allen didn’t deliver the pass perfectly.

 

It makes me wonder if we, as a fanbase, have forgotten just how rare and difficult a throw like that is? Or most of the plays Allen makes.

 

I mean… There are only a handful of people on the planet who can even attempt a throw like that—on the move, under pressure, with defenders closing in. Yet, we’ve grown so used to his greatness that we now expect perfection, every time. And some people judge by that standard.

 

He is not normal. It’s greatness, and it deserves to be appreciated, rather than judged every time a throw isn’t perfection.

 

 

It’s that “ first world” entitlement attitude, An awful lot of folk have no idea how good they have it,

Watching Herbert lower his shoulder on a scramble and promptly fumbling was a nice reminder of how good we have it 😂

I can honestly say, no….I do not take Allen for granted.

Both deep-ish throws to Cooper were perfection. 

Oh I agree with that

Some dumb F said Josh Allen is no better than Ryan Fitzpatrick in the GDT, and they were being serious, a portion of our fan base just doesn't understand football.
