With a fifth straight win over the Dolphins, the Bills made a statement about why they’re not only the favorites in the division, but also a real Super Bowl contender.
There were years the Green Bay Packers didn’t have a Super Bowl-caliber roster, but that didn’t stop pundits from constantly picking them to advance to the big game because they had Aaron Rodgers at quarterback.
It’s somewhat strange that Allen’s previous stellar seasons weren't enough to convince the masses that the Bills would be fine without Stefon Diggs, the star receiver who was traded to the Houston Texans in the offseason. There’s this perception out there that Diggs turned Allen into a top-five quarterback.
An obvious indicator of a special quarterback is how they elevate the game of others. So far Allen has done that, even though his former star receiver now plays for the Texans, a team he might come across in January. But that’s getting ahead of ourselves. Let’s focus on what we know, and that’s the Bills being heavy AFC East favorites again.
Going back to the big picture, part of the reason why Allen hasn’t received Rodgers-like respect might be because he hasn’t gotten the Bills to the Super Bowl and hasn’t defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs. Waiting to crown the Bills as true contenders is understandable. Calling Allen overrated and overlooking the Bills as a playoff team because of a few roster tweaks is where many got it wrong.
