The word you're looking for is variance.
Josh Allen can bounce anywhere between completely unbeatable and singularly responsible for creating a loss, in the same month. Other quarterbacks can't peak like he can but they also don't tend to disintegrate the same way either.
When Josh is locked in, he's virtually unstoppable. If he gets off to a shaky start, sometimes he gets in a hole and struggles to get out, or becomes desperate to put on a cape and save the game, and that sometimes backfires.
So yeah, locked in Josh is an absolute force, but nobody knows why it's not more consistent.
As a Chiefs fan, you may be surprised to hear that I feel the same way about Mahomes. When he’s on, the game is already over (unless it’s the 2022 divisional game where both Allen and Mahomes went Ultra Instinct at the same time), but if you can get him out of his laser focus state then you have a shot.
That game was (and probably will be honestly) the best combined quarterback play I have ever seen in a game. Just outrageous stuff
Yeah, Mahomes is scary. Never fun going up against him. With how depleted our defense is right now, I am not looking forward to this matchup.
The Bills vs The Chiefs is always a good matchup for the NFL, with how the teams go back and forth, but for the fans of the team? I don't know about you, but my blood pressure is most certainly TERRIBLE when I watch.
If I die before 60 from cardiac arrest, I’m blaming Bills/Chiefs.
