No, it doesn’t. At all.
Allen is great. Elite. The bees knees. It’s decided. There’s no more debate. The bad games now will blend in with the good ones. Like every other QB in the league.
Hes an upper echelon, absolute stallion of a QB - sbroads24
And looks like he still has alot of growth left in him.
I was uncertain but hopeful.
He has taken tremendous strides...the future us very, very bright. |

He threw for 225 yards...give me a break. - Stripes77
Mahomes 21-26, 225yds, 2td, 0int, 128.4rating
Allen 14-27, 122yds, 2td, 0int, 73.4rating
Weird how it was the weather’s fault for one of the guys, but the other performed very well
Allen is improving
He’s having a great season overall so far
It’s also a small sample size of him doing this well
And he’s still inconsistent at times
Again... he.is.improving.
But let’s also admit that it’s ONLY been 5 or 6 games that we’ve seen him play really well
He’s still got growth to do |

You did and I apologize, sincerely.
Peace.
I will say though this place is getting old. - IonSabres
lack of hockey doesn't help either |

Yeah, it does
5 or 6 good games doesn’t put a guy in the hall of fame |

So sometimes a history of being good matters in the discussion and sometimes it doesn't.
Allen is good. It's over. He's good. He has no history of being good but here we are. I was wrong when we drafted him but he is a good quarterback. It's undeniable - jcragcrumple
Never said he wasn’t good
Said he lacks the consistency over a large enough sample size to be called “elite” imo |

If the standard is HOF, it's going to be a long 15 years for you watching Allen playing for the Bills |

Allen also had 4 drops that game. Mahomes had zero.

Fitz, this is where projecting his future based on the the existing work comes into play.
He started as a very, very raw talent that most Analysts were steadfast in their determination that he is nothing and will fail...largely due to his inaccuracy.
Props to him for having an undying desire to e cel, lead and work incredibly hard at his craft to become one of the best.
You are seeing him emerge in front of your eyes.
Rather than discount it... enjoy the poop out of where he is and where his development curve is taking him.
Yes, it is a small sample size, yet his entire career has been series of major steps-up...and it looks to be the beginning.
This is fun to watch...enjoy it. |

5 or 6?
Tell me what his numbers are the last 20 games. I dare you.
Since the Patriots game last year he’s at like 40 TD’s and 7 picks.
It’s just been 5 or 6 games out of 9 this season where he’s been MVP caliber.
He’s excellent. It’s decided. It doesn’t matter one single bit if he has a bad game here or there. None at all |

The bills (and Allen) played their best game of that year and heck maybe best game of the McDermott era.
I am in complete shock we won. - Sabretooth9
Well the defense got a few stops and the Bill's won the turnover battle. It was the perfect recipe for Allen and the offense to go pass happy against the worst pass defense in the league. |

Well in case i missed how this all started...
I didn’t like our chances either
But yeah, 4 turnovers & the offense was very good (against a terrible defense)
Playoffs will be tough for us
But we could certainly win a game
- jdfitz77
The offense is great, and so is our QB, who’s on pace to shatter team records
- sbroads
Then Sbroads decided to move the goalposts along to argue about Allen
I guess he was looking to fight, idk?
Bc i never mentioned Allen other than to say he played really well today |

And that doesn’t make up 55points in Qb rating....

Was thinking about that yesterday.
Normally we are into the season and I'm enjoying games outside on the lanai with a Bourbon and cigar.
This fvcking sucks |

No because I think I speak for all of us when I say that at this point (9 games in) throwing in disclaimers like “it’s against a bad defense” like every team doesn’t face them, is sort of ridiculous at this point |

QB rating. The plus minus of the NFL...
Doesn’t tell the whole story.
Would put his yardage to about 190. Again not a great game but not awful. |

I am
I’m not the one who brought up a fight about Allen
SBROADS DID
I’ve said a bunch of times that he’s playing really well (overall) this season & continuing to improve
Not my fault SBROADS LOSES HIS MIND bc i don’t consider him “elite” yet |

I feel great. The excellent offense of the Buffalo Bills just put up 44 points today.
I’m not arguing over the Kansas City game that happened a month ago like it means anything....cause it doesn’t |

Missing Milano next week might hurt more than this week.
Murray runs more than Wilson. |
