      John Brown let Howard push him to the outside, when I saw that throw I thought where the hell is Allen throwing or maybe it was his elbow, who really cares Allen will have his share of int's, but with Allen you are never out of a game. If there is time on the clock and you need a score quick 2 or 3 QB's can fit that bill, Allen, Mahomes and maybe a younger Rodgers.

      People forget that Josh Allen was playing lights out when Brian Daboll was till OC. So this season I think coaching wise with Ken Dorsey has been iffy. Coaching really matters and some get the best out of their guys. Dorsey has had a few meltdowns like the game in Miami.

      I agree that Josh Allen can be a turnover waiting to happen at times. He’s a lot like Brett Farve, where you almost have to take the great with the bad and just hope the bad is minimized. But I don’t understand why the Bengals aren’t getting as much or more criticism than the Bills from last week. The Bills outgained Miami in almost every offensive statistical category, while the Bengals were outplayed by Baltimore where it just took a goal line fumble returned 98 yards for a touchdown. If the Bills made 1 less turnover, it wouldn’t have been close at all. Bengals are a great team but they’ve been fairly lucky in their postseason even dating back to last year. It’s gonna catch up with them at some point, so I got the Bills 33-30

      The classic floor/ceiling debate. Allen is an alien who can do the special stuff, but he chokes on his own ability at times. Burrow, those receivers and Lou Anarumo got it.

      You're the deciding factor on whether or not you make your dreams a reality or not. It's not one big event that makes a life of greatness. It's those small decisions each and everyday that change everything. Make the right ones.

      Enough of the Josh Allen ragging him BS……is a stud he has no run game a spotty o line they win because of him and the plays we makes burrow very cocky lets play the game and see what happens

      i’m a bills fan i just hope whoever wins this game wins the super bowl , i hate all the remaining teams especially the eagles & chiefs , their fans are so annoying

      It's not about confidence I have equal confidence in both players but Josh has more ways that he can make plays than Joe and that's the slight edge to me.

      Josh Allen takes a bit more risks compared to Burrow. The great thing is that Joe has 3 guys that can create separation on man to man before Burrow’s O-line get crushed. The great thing for Josh is that he has Gabe Davis and Stefon Diggs who can dismantle some coverages by the go route. I do get worried about Josh taking shots while going on the run, because he’s not as elusive as Lamar or slides that often.

      Joe got to a SB with the worst OL ever…statisically got sacked Inc playoffs like 75 times. Allen can't beat patrick when it matters. Joe did it in arrowhead in the afc championship game. Its a no brainer

    19. Sebass.cp on

      Burrow made it to the Super Bowl last year so everyone will say they trust him more. Dan O is right only one TO was really his fault last game. It’s gunna be a shootout and go either way, imo. It’s gunna be a year to year thing with these guys bc there 3 big dog QBs in the afc for the next 15 years

      Bills fan so let my bias be known.
      Joe Burrow has played consistently well , clean games. 9 game winning streak.
      Josh Allen has played ok but too many mistakes . 8 game winning streak .
      Allen is still winning . So let's ask the question a different way . If you knew nothing else about Josh Allen this weekend other than he doesn't turn the ball over . Who would you pick to win ?
      No one is questioning how good Allen is , the only hesitation is the turn overs.
      So I have a sloppy Quarterback making mistakes verses one who has not . Yet the only record that matters is wins . By that measure they are exactly the same
      Josh Allen doesn't turn the ball over . They win, it's that simple.

      Like I've always said the gifted players are hated because they can do things others can't and subconsciously they are jealous so they make statements that are ridiculous lol.This guy on the left does not know what he's talking about lol

    24. 570finest on

      Def Burrow, bills wuz barely beating dolphins with a 3rd string QB. And bills should be happy last game wuz canceled cuz they would have lost then too. And been 3 seed just saying

    28. Andrew Le on

      Right now, Allen is reckless? Just right now? How about he's always been reckless. And if Diggs ever missed a game because of whatever, Allen would still try to throw the ball to him.

    32. rpstephans on

      The problem with Josh Allen is Ken Dorsey. Calling deep ball plays and not running the ball at all or doing RPOs is killing him. He has regressed trying to force big time plays. Daboll would rip into Allen for these mistakes and not taking what the defense gives him like last year or the beginning of this year. Coaching will kill the Bills in the playoffs.
