The Buffalo Bills’ season continues to spiral with another round of criticism — this time, from national analysts questioning whether their star quarterback truly belongs among the league’s elite.

Despite flashes of brilliance, the Bills’ inconsistency has left fans and pundits frustrated. Once viewed as Super Bowl contenders, Buffalo now fights simply to stay relevant in the AFC playoff picture.

Josh Allen, the face of the franchise, found himself under the microscope again after another mixed performance. Analysts argue that his high-risk, high-reward style has hurt the team more than helped.

“Allen’s good — sometimes great — but not consistently elite,” one analyst wrote in this week’s power rankings. “Until he learns to protect the football and manage the game, Buffalo will always fall short.”

The critique stings, especially given Allen’s relentless efforts to carry a flawed roster. His dual-threat ability remains unmatched, yet turnovers and late-game errors continue to define the team’s downfall.

Inside the locker room, teammates publicly back their leader, emphasizing accountability over blame. Still, there’s an undeniable tension as Buffalo’s season teeters between redemption and disappointment.

Head coach Sean McDermott remains supportive, but whispers of frustration grow louder each week. Pressure mounts not just on Allen, but on the entire organization to deliver results before the window closes.

As the Bills prepare for a pivotal stretch, Allen faces a defining moment in his career — a chance to silence critics, reclaim his reputation, and prove that “good” isn’t all he’ll ever be.
