Sorry but Allen doesn't get a pass for this awful performance in a game they were favored to win at HIS HOUSE with the WHOLE HAMLIN STORY AND REST OF THE COUNTRY BEHIND THEM. Even the refs tried to help them by ruling a Chase TD an incomplete pass.
His team was favored to win the super bowl and him to be the MVP and he has failed to live up to expectations.
I don't see him getting over the hump especially with that elbow injury that he is refusing to get surgery on. I expect him to suffer a major injury in the next couple years that basically ends his shot at a super bowl with the way he just runs at any defenders.

I believe their window is closing. Von Miller is only getting older and has a big contract. That OL is not good enough to beat good teams. I believe Edmunds and Poyer are FAs and are among their best defenders and I think they're up against the cap.
They need another weapon on offense. They can still be a SB contender ala KC if they draft well, but there will have to be concessions made with the roster. I think they should evaluate if Dorsey is good enough OC as Daboll was missed (in terms of limiting Allen's weaknesses).

It's time to have a conversation about Josh Allen's playoff failures, and how the media and casual fans pushed the "best QB in football" narrative when it was far from deserved. Since everyone loves the QB record stat, here we go. Josh Allen is 4-4 in his three playoff appearances, and during that time he has had the #1, #2, and #2 ranked defenses.
The idea that Josh Allen is the best QB in football is laughable. He is very good, but turns the ball over far too much.
It goes Mahomes/Burrow in a tier all by themselves, then Allen is at the top of the next tier with Herbert, Lamar, Lawrence, etc.

Josh Allen has had his bad moments for sure....but he is still there with Mahomes in that top echelon of QB's. He has to carry as much on himself as practically any other QB, which I think goes hand in hand with his turnovers, and will be a legit MVP candidate for the next decade.

Right. Even as their own team (assuming that is the 49ers) is currently in the middle of climbing that mountain.
