Wildes suit today is a work of art

Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen have combined for 3 rings, 4 super bowl appearances, 2x MVPs and 3x Super Bowl MVPs Congrats to both of them on these amazing achievements
-
Nick Wrights head is gonna explode 😂😂

Nick Wright is the ONLY TV analyst that holds Allen accountable and has objective takes regarding him. Allen is the media's darling and has failed EACH year! Allen and Burrow are in the same category of players that the start of the season, the MVP is theirs to lose and they continually make the media liars and the media hates it. I know why but I'll save that for another day.

Nick, the reason people think you hate Allen is because before last season you put Lawrence, who’s resume is a worse version of Allen above him, as well as Dak, you underplayed when Allen played quite literally a perfect Playoff game where they scored a TD on every drive against the #2 ranked defense in the Playoffs, and heavily heavily manipulate stats to try and prove your point. You add fumbles recovered to Allen’s total turnovers which you don’t do for any other player, completely disregard rush TDs and pretending like they’re all from within the 5 yard line, and never mention that he’s second in passing yards and passing TDs behind Mahomes since 2020. Saying Allen doesn’t get it done in the Playoffs means no QB except Mahomes gets it done. He’s had one bad playoff game in the last 3 years, and that was the loss against the Bengals. The main (and fair) criticism of Allen is that he turns the ball over too much. But he doesn’t in the Playoffs, where he has 4 interceptions in 10 Playoff games. If you think Allen is the 2nd-4th best QB I fail to see how he’s overrated because that’s the consensus. It’s also a bit disingenuous for Nick to pretend that Allen didn’t play well in that last Playoff game when literally at the time he said he did play well. There were about 120 yards worth of dropped passes from Diggs and Sherfield. His one mistake in that game is a play where his left tackle was pushed into him while he was making the throw. Nick also used passer rating against Allen but then when talking about Purdy, Russ, or Tua, who have a higher passer rating but Nick doesn’t think is better, doesn’t like the stat. Essentially, when it fits your narrative it’s a good stat and when it doesn’t, it’s irrelevant. The point about the end of last season is an interesting one because they definitely leaned on the run more, but in my opinion, that was because they were playing the Chargers and Patriots who they were clearly better than and they knew the only way they would lose those games is by giving it away. The only game against a good team where they completely took it out of Josh’s hands was the Cowboys game, but I feel like a lot of that was to exploit the Cowboys weakness which was their run defense. Even the Patriots would sometimes run all over a team and take it out of Brady’s hands when the opposing team was bad against the run. They did not do that against the Eagles, Jets or Chiefs in the regular season which was after the new OC took over, or in the final game against Miami with the division on the line, or in the two Playoff games.

Lmao passing stats only matter when nick is trying to criticize someone because when you show him Purdys stats he ignores them 😂😂
-
Josh Allen the only QB I know that gets blame for the Oline Defense and Kicker it’s all his fault 😂
-
"Josh Allen has been one of the least criticized QBs in the league" is a crazy lie to start off. Definitely one of the idiots that are everywhere
-
Josh Allen is just a faster Ben Roethlisberger, and that's not a bad thing at all. He just doesn't have the same talent around him as Big Ben did.
-
Nick’s arguments will be easier to accept if he was consistent with it. If you put up Brock Purdy’s passer rating stats, he turns his nose up at it.
-
As a Chiefs fan, Josh Allen is one of the handful of quarterbacks on the schedule that I think the team considers a true and legitimate threat. Likewise, I believe there are only 5 or 6 teams that wouldn't happily scoop him up as a clear upgrade at the QB position. He's that caliber of player and competitor and deserves the respect. That said, he has flaws and everyone whose team plays against him hopes that he doesn't get them figured out, no matter how unlikely that is.
-
Nick holds Allen accountable. He’s not a hater.
-
There better be a cowboy brou cutout on set
-
Josh Allen get the most excuses for a player other than Justin Herbert in the entire league, he’s had top defenses each year, had really good skill players and has a good coach. Really talented players get so much more lenience for losing and way more credit for winning.
-
QBR is better. It’s not 1970. Going to edit this to say: the last playoff game that Josh Allen played the “missed FG game” Josh Allen 26-39 186 YDs 1TD 0 INT (remember everyone saying he is a TO machine). Josh Allen 12 runs 72 YDS 2 TDS (6 YPC). Add those number up: 258 YDS 3TDS 0 TO. Patrick Mahomes 17-23 215YDS 2 TDS. 6 Carries 19yds. Nick is the only one gaslighting anyone here.
-
Allen had a game where he threw for less than 100 yards and completed less than 50% of his passes and somehow moved up in the MVP odds/rankings.
-
Chiefs had their best defense in the Mahomes era and one of the best pass defenses in the past decade. That's why they were able to get to the Super Bowl and win it.
-
“He gets it done” yeah the Cancun plans for a first or second round drop out of the playoffs
-
Nick is right though… even casual fans are guilty. For the last 4 years, every season we walk into for some reason there’s an argument for this man being the best Quarterback in the league. I literally don’t understand how does this keep happening…
