Josh Allen and his Buffalo Bills may not have had the best run in the 2025 regular season, but there is no taking away the fact that they are primed for a Super Bowl run.

Quite a few times, the soon-to-be father did not look like himself, and there were serious concerns about the offense struggling to generate open looks with 2024 second-round pick Keon Coleman, evidently unable to get away from his defenders.

However, despite all that, as many have stated, the Bills still have the easiest path they have had to encounter to win the franchise’s first-ever Vince Lombardi Trophy.

With the likes of the reigning MVPs ‘Kryptonite’, Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, and Lamar Jackson out of the reckoning, Cam Newton believes anything other than a win will undermine Josh Allen’s legacy.

Extremely… If he does not have a deep playoff push, and in the famous words of Stephen Anthony, ‘It better not be you.’ Because if it is you, Josh Allen, boy oh boy, people are going to side eye you… That’s the legacy impact for sure.

Cam Newton said on First Take

This was his response to host Shae Cornette‘s question about whether a loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Wild Card round would ‘damage’ the 29-year-old’s legacy.

The former league MVP believes that with the sheer lack of game-changing quarterbacks left in this postseason, Josh Allen cannot afford to lose any game.

Ryan Clark will be blaming Josh Allen if the Bills lose

After Cam Newton gave his opinion on the morning debate show, Ryan Clark doubled down on it. Then, when the latter appeared on NFL Live, he took that opinion to another level.

Probably since around the Division round of 2021, Josh Allen has lived in this bubble that you couldn’t criticize him… If he loses this game, it’s on him. I’m not going to care if James Cook doesn’t play well… I’m gonna care that Josh Allen is the best player left playing in football, and he couldn’t will his team to a win.

Ryan Clark said on NFL Live

By the former safety’s measure, NFL history has given enough evidence of great quarterbacks willing their teams on to win Super Bowls. With the dearth of outright elite competition, Clark believes it is time for the Wyoming alum to prove he belongs in those conversations.

The former Super Bowl champion added that by default, he expects Josh Allen to play at an elite level, which should help elevate the rest of the team in the event they start slow. However, there is no room for the quarterback to start slow, as that would proportionately impact his teammates in the worst way possible.

Lil Wayne believes Josh Allen will struggle against ‘underdog’ Jaguars defense

Conversations surrounding Josh Allen and the upcoming Wild Card round against the unheralded Jacksonville Jaguars have seemingly become an important topic.

I got Jacksonville. Those boys are going to be fly around on defense. All you need to stop Josh is fill in those empty spaces.

Lil Wayne said on The Arena

The multiple Grammy Award-winning rapper and avid football fan believes the Jaguars will make it difficult for the Bills quarterback. Lil Wayne explained his opinion by talking about how the 13-4 team has proven they have some elite athletes on their defense.

They will be looking to stop Allen’s penchant for finding holes. Moreover, the entire team knows they are being undermined by the sports media world, which makes them a serious underdog team. If they get worked up by another Liam Coen motivational speech, the Jaguars could come out and make the Bills’ offense run for their lives.
