Josh Allen still playing at 'MVP level' as Bills' Super Bowl hopes debated

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen turns 30 on Thursday, and he's yet to reach the big game.

On Good Morning Football earlier today, available to NFL Game Pass subscribers on DAZN, a graphic highlighted that Allen leads all players, past and present, in the unenviable distinction of having the most playoff wins despite never making a Super Bowl appearance.

The discussion that followed focused on whether Allen's window is closing, and former NFL fullback Jason Cabinda was ready for it.

Cabinda defends Allen's record and outlook

Cabinda didn't rubbish the graphic, but he only pays it so much mind.

"When it comes to the Bills, when it comes to Josh Allen, that data sounds great, and it is nice, and I understand it," Cabinda began.

"But at the same time, my eyes say Josh Allen's level of play has not dropped even a bit.

"He might still be an ascending player; he might still have more left in him," he added.

Cabinda, who spent five seasons with the Detroit Lions, did flag one legitimate concern, but it was levelled at Joe Brady, the Bills' first-year coach.

"Brady being in the seat, are there gonna be, maybe some game management issues, maybe some end-of-game situational stuff, situational awareness?

"That happens because he's a rookie head coach," he added, before making it clear where the blame wouldn't land.

"Will it be Josh Allen's fault at that point in time? No, I do not believe so, because his level of play is still at an MVP level."

Allen and D.J. Moore: Building chemistry

Allen was on the field at Buffalo's OTAs on Tuesday, getting some work in with D.J. Moore after the wide receiver arrived in a trade from the Chicago Bears.

Moore is Allen's first legitimate WR1 since Stefon Diggs left Buffalo in early 2024.

Speaking to reporters after the session about building chemistry with Moore, Allen explained that it's a learning curve.

"We go out there, if we make mistakes, which is going to happen, chalk it up to the first couple of days of OTAs," he said.

Allen talks up maligned WR Keon Coleman

Owner Terry Pegula threw shade at Keon Coleman earlier this year, defending general manager Brandon Beane for his part in drafting young wideouts who haven't developed as they should.

Clearly undeterred by the slight, the third-year receiver showed up to OTAs meaning business.

"He's in a good spot, I think he continues to get better," Allen said of Coleman.

"He comes out each and every day, he's putting his hard hat on, he's going to work, and constant improvement is what I would say about him.

"He's working extremely hard, and people notice that. I notice that. He's having a really good start to this offseason."

Allen went on to credit new wide receivers coach Drew Terrell with helping Coleman sharpen up his release, with attention to detail a clear emphasis.

The verdict: Can Josh Allen win a Super Bowl?

DAZN's Jason Abbey weighs in

Allen's numbers dropped off a little last year, but he's still every bit the game-changing talent he's been for years, and his presence means Buffalo should be in the thick of the postseason race.

Of course, winning Super Bowl LXI will take a team effort. Allen will need Moore at his best, the new-look defense to show some teeth, and a breakout year from Coleman wouldn't go amiss.

But the window is most definitely still open for Allen, and it will remain that way long after his birthday tomorrow.
