The Buffalo Bills’ latest playoff loss has launched another narrative storm around Bills franchise QB Josh Allen, with the NFL world seemingly being split on whether he’s to blame for the organization’s postseason struggles.
After Josh Allen struggled mightily against the Denver Broncos with four turnovers — two interceptions and two fumbles — many NFL fans so fit to blame the former league MVP. Others, however, argue that Allen deserves sympathy, leading those blaming him to blow a gasket.
In the Buffalo Bills’ 33-30 loss to the Denver Broncos, Allen completed 25 of 39 passes for 283 yards, 3 touchdowns, 2 interceptions and 2 fumbles. The turnovers are certainly ugly, but on the flip side of that coin, Allen led his offense to 30 points on the road against the division’s #1 seed. Thus is the conundrum of Josh Allen.
We don’t gotta feel for Nix who actually broke his ankle winning this game and won’t play in the championship game? But we gotta feel for a man who turned the ball over 4 times and missed a game winning throw? https://t.co/T497PTFdU5

Josh Allen just Jay Cutler with great PR

“Josh Allen is closer to Justin Herbert than he is to Patrick Mahomes, but y’all aren’t ready for that conversation,” one NFL fan tweeted.
“Josh Allen cool. It’s the media who will call him Superman one minute then treat him like a make a wish kid after a loss,” a second added.
“Listen… I’ve believed in the Bills all year. I’ve repeatedly said Josh Allen is the 2nd best QB alive. I bet the equivalent of a decent, used Honda Civic on Buffalo today. BUT… ALL YEAR, I’ve had to listen to how Josh Allen is QB1, arguably the ‘most talented quarterback ever’, and all of this other objective nonsense… only to see him turn the ball over 4x (including one of the most cartoonish TOs of the season before the half), miss a wide open Kincaid for the win, AND not come thru in OT. I get that my ‘smartest’ colleagues think it’s passé to wait for someone to actually win something before anointing them, but that was really, really rough,” Fox Sports 1’s Nick Wright summarized.
The double standard Josh Allen gets needs to be studied. Lamar Jackson is held to a standard Allen couldn’t reach with jetpack. pic.twitter.com/EA3WkluScn

So Josh Allen throws 2 INTs, fumbles 3 times, loses 2 and the world mourns his heartbreak but if Lamar Jackson throws an INT and fumbles once he’s a choke artist? Did I get this narrative right? pic.twitter.com/85SWNbCXxb
