Are you ready for some Football (Americano)!

I love Josh Allen, but he has 20 interceptions in his last 19 games, plus fumbles.....

He is a gunslinger and sometimes it looks awesome despite the bad decisions. Occasionally, you get a game where its almost all bad outcomes lol. Very Favre like as mentioned.

I'm still think he's buying into the hype and he's not as good as everyone thinks he is. He naughty word the bed Monday Night. I'm from Buffalo so that should say a lot

Although nothing compares to the infamous NHL game when the Sabres' goalie (Malarchuk) was injured. If you haven't seen it, just know that despite what you see, he survived. And played again.

Sorry to quote this twice but my GF stopped over unexpectedly when I was replying the first time. I remember 4-5 trainers running out to the ice with towels, and the whole goal crease being covered in blood. He played after but when he retired which I'd be surprised if it was after 96-97, as I think that happened 89-91? He was the backup for Grant Fuhr, correct? Anyhow he had a bad problem with PTSD from that, as well as substance abuse and being suicidal. Think he went to Washington after Buffalo

I can't remember him winning a game when it really counted

Since his rookie season, Josh Allen has four complete seasons. He has led the Bills to the playoffs every season, passed for more than 4000 yards every season (and two seasons of 5000 yards) and has passed for more than 30 TDs the last three seasons. He's also one of the most successful rushing QBs in the league, having scored between 6 and 9 TDs on the ground every season (including his rookie season) and adding between 420 to 760 yards on the ground.

Simply put, other than Mahomes, I don't think that there is any real argument that he is the best QB in the NFL the past four seasons.

Moreover, in terms of winning, prior to his arrival, they had only gone to the playoffs in one out of eighteen seasons.

Maybe he hasn't won the Big One ... yet. But dude, every team outside of KC would KILL to have Josh Allen.

Im 100% sure that everything that you cited is correct. But over the 5 years he's been in the NFL there have been more than a few plays in post-season where he looked like a chicken with his head cut off, trying to make a play, instead of gracefully executing a play.

Since he has entered the league, the following QBs have WON IT ALL.

Tom Brady (twice, now retired ... probably. Maybe).
Patrick Mahomes (twice).
Matthew Stafford (with a killer Rams team that probably should have lost to the Bucs).

Only one team can win it all every season. Dan Marino never won it all. Jim Kelly never won it all. Philip Rivers never won it all. Fran Tarkenton never won it all. Dan Fouts never won it all.

Other than injury, he'll have a lot of years to keep trying. And having Josh Allen is a guarantee that Buffalo will be in the mix ... and you don't have to worry about the QB position. Seriously, given the history of the Bills, you should try and concentrate on the positive; of all the problems you have, Josh Allen ain't one of 'em.

Allen played like crap Mon. If that's any indication of what's to come, I'm not to hopeful. Stats can be quoted and we can make assumptions on how the current season is goanna go based on previous performance, but that's in the past. Im not hating on Allen but he never makes the play when it really counts, but some of that is/was the coaching. Allen had 4 TO and 5 sacks if Im not mistaken, if that keeps up there's a problem.

@R_J_K75

I just remembered this. The next time you're thinking about how terrible it is that you have Josh Allen, read this article-

The Definitive Ranking of All 42 New York Jets Quarterbacks Since 1990

In trading for Aaron Rodgers, the Jets hope they’ve finally found the player who will end their decades of quarterback misery. But before Rodgers takes his first snap, let’s rank all of the (mostly bad) QBs of the past 33 years.

www.theringer.com

And remember that this was written before the Monday Night Football game.

My personal favorite ... that Tom Tupa is ranked so highly on the Jets list of "best QBs since 1990." Why?

Because Tom Tupa was a punter.

Again, Jets have a very good, maybe best in NFL, defense. I dont think that should be discounted. Its not like Allen has not had games like this before. I know thats scary heading into the playoffs thinking "which Allen is going to show up?", but he is getting your team there every season.
