I just feel like everyone is going to spend all week talking about Mahomes' ankle or Burrow being a Demigod or Chase against this young secondary or Lou Anarumo being a psychopath...and then in the end it's just going to Samaje Perine bludgeoning Bolton and Gay to death.

Allen is the only QB in football who's A game can stand toe to toe with Mahomes A game.
And if he has fewer and fewer of the B and C games, he'll be at the same level as PM.
Prior this season, the real distinction between the two was that PM just never had games where he shot his own guys out of the game. His B games were a little less frequent than Allen, as were his C games. His D and F games were virtually non-existent.
That's not really the case anymore. Right now, Allen is an equally dangerous QB.
We'll see if that remains the case when the post-season gets here. But history says that Allen is about the only guy in the league who can reasonably claim that his post-season performance is on the same level as PMs. Especially the more mature version of him that's been around the last couple of years (not the hyperactive one that killed them a few years back agains the Texans).
Allen's a remarkable talent. As good as the league's had. In virtually any other era, he'd be the best in the league without much argument.

Aside from that year, 6 of 8 games <100 passer rating. 5 of them <90 rating and a TD/INT ratio of 12/4. I'd have to update from a previous post detailing those 2 and all the others but i can't do it from work right now.
It's pretty incredible he's only made one AFCCG in his career (and was outscored 31-9 outside of a 3 yard TD drive and garbage time). [Reply]
This thread couldn’t even make it two full years before the Bengals faded back into irrelevance. What a shame.
That was a fun couple of years, though! Back to eating dog food chili and hanging out in the basement for Bengals fans. Burrow probably demands a trade in another 1-2 years or just retires like Carson Palmer. So it was written, and so it shall come to pass. [Reply]

Yep. The more things change, the more they stay the same. [Reply]
