Every couple weeks, Josh Allen seemingly achieves something unprecedented, matching or passing top-shelf HOFers like Peyton Manning, Otto Graham, Earl Campbell, Jim Brown.

They have an 8% chance of winning the division they've won five straight years and are tracking toward not hosting a playoff game.
Are the Bills regressing? They’re 7-4, still in contention for the Division and Josh is 5th in MVP odds. Have the Bills ever been much better than this over the past 5 seasons?

Josh Allen has historic postseason passing stats, more rushing TDs than Earl Campbell, highest YPC of anyone with >70 TDs (0.3 over Jim Brown).

The first claims how dangerous they are. The other pertains to how quickly predators will sniff them out for the kill.
