The fans did not like the way Allen displayed his frustration and took to Twitter to showcase their opinions. One fan went as far as to question Allen’s chances of winning a ring.
This was everyone’s MVP choice?? This was everyone’s super bowl pick? They’re actually the worst team in the AFC East. Allen couldn’t even win after the Gabe Davis bail out call and the defense bailing him out constantly. Allen will never win a ring as long as he’s in the AFC.

The words MVP and Josh Allen simply do not go together

There was a fan who apologetically stated his opinion on Josh Allen’s priorities.
He got a good contract and maybe his focus is on different things but not enough on football? He runs good and makes great games, but he is no match winner this season. Too many mistakes in red zone and missed touchdowns. Sorry @JoshAllenQB

Even TV personalities had something to say about Josh Allen’s performance.
What Josh Allen turnover was your favorite?
The pick in the endzone in the 4th quarter up 10?
The fumbled snap to steal a victory from his team?
Or, the inevitable pick in the end zone to lose the game???
They’re all just so much fun!
