I don't want to hate, but I can't imagine them winning a playoff game. I can't imagine them being anywhere near as good next year. Josh Allen somehow recovering that fumble and not only getting the first down but gaining like 4 yards is their entire existence in a nutshell. They can probably win a playoff game against the AFC South winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I like the Bills, but yeah, they'll be a prime candidate for regression next year. They're way up there in a LOT of the stats that tend to signify a decline the following year. With the Pats now having played some real opponents, the Bills have, by a LONG SHOT, the easiest schedule played so far in the league. Last I saw, they were 5th lowest in games lost to injury, and 2nd lowest in lost AV to injury (this stat is basically an attempt to judge the quality lost to injury.) Outpacing their expected W/L. It's very likely they do worse next year, record wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixxxer Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I don't post much on this site, which I really like. I like to inform myself and I like reading some of the reactions from other teams' fans. I know that week afte week some people like to go for the hyperbole, but let's pump the brakes. Yes, Allen is super talented. Yes, Allen entered the league as a long term procject. Yes Allen, was super green as a pocket QB. And what eventually will turn into an elite career is his drive and work ethic to be better every day. He keeps finding road blocks in his path and he keeps sorting them out. Last night he had another test and he aced it. The kid gets it and his teammates loves playing for him. As of today he's not elite, but he is damn fine football player with a lot of room to grow, which is amazing. Go Bills!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great post, he is uber talented, and he is playing very well, which is different from elite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingOfNewYork Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Allen is dynamic. But like the other guy it’s going to be interesting to watch when his legs are taken away from him. Can he win you a game solely with his arm? These guys get figured out, all it takes is one coach to put a dent in the armor, then others begin copying the techniques. Guys def owe Allen an apology though, he’s a solid QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmittyBacall Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 @VanS No wonder you don't like Joe Burrow. You're just a sucker for elite physical traits. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldfishwars Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I think Allen has a number of things going for him. He lucky to have an extremely smart coaching staff who coaches the defense well and that side of the ball has kept them in games over the season. The coaching staff also understand what he is, an inaccurate quarterback who is physically gifted and have tailored their offense around that skill-set. He seems to play his best when it matters most, at the end of tight games and in primetime which is a huge credit to him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to play his best when it matters most, at the end of tight games and in primetime which is a huge credit to him. He really hasn’t been inaccurate the last couple of months on anything outside of the deep ball though. That’s the biggest thing for me. He’s hitting those 10-15 yard out routes with ease. The deep ball he had been over shooting by like 5-10 yards every time, until the last couple of weeks when the whole “play fearless” thing came out that McDermott started to preach to him. The game is slowing down for him. The “inaccuracy” was happening when he was getting way too amped up and trying to play hero ball. Hopefully that part of him is gone for good now. We will see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmart128 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 As a Bills fan he is a good QB... he still has a ton of work to do. But he has elite potential Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawgX Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I think Josh Allen is fun as hell to watch play and he's certainly made improvements from last year. I actually do think he has a chance to become a top tier QB in this league, but he's absolutely not there yet. BTW, did anyone need to see who the OP was to know who created this thread or did we all just know who it was as soon as we saw the title of the thread? I'm guessing it's the latter.

JaguarCrazy2832 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 1 thing I'm very impressed about him is he is a tough SOB. He fights for 1st downs and is very aware of where he needs to be to get it. I know he's a big dude and maybe should have that trait to take advantage of it but not every big QB turns that size into tough yards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargers Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 (edited) He isn't Elite and it isn't close. He should however get a apologies from the draftniks on this forum. The guy was the most hated prospect ever and not just here as well. I was expecting a Ryan Leaf meltdown so from that front he is exceeding expectations. He still struggles with the intermediate throws and tends to sail deep passes. He has shown improvement this year on those areas but not enough to say he is Elite.

Hunter2_1 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Van S thread, for sure. Where's the line here? We could say he's elite because he's an NFL QB...hundreds of thousands of guys play QB and he's one of 40 or so that do it in the best arena possible. OR, are saying elite is ACTUALLY elite, where only 1, 2 or 3 (or so) can possibly considered elite? If so....no. He's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
