The Bills offense had an amazing Week 2 performance on Thursday Night Football while defeating the Miami Dolphins 31-10. However, quarterback Josh Allen is now catching some heat from people on social media.
A video was posted on X that seems to show Allen completely ignoring rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman when the two were standing near the sidelines.
LOOK AT JOSH ALLEN COMPLETELY IGNORING KEON COLEMAN!
WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL?? This man is just asking for the dang ball. Not a target all night and Allen literally doesn’t know he exists when Coleman is 2 feet in front of him.

Social media users are now using this as a reason to attack Allen for both his playstyle and leadership.
“Yes, ignored completely. 0 Catches on 1 Target which was when Allen was scrambling and threw it to him when he was covered,” said one comment.
“I have been wondering why Coleman has not been getting the ball much. And I was really looking forward to watching him play! And so far, not much to see. But its not his fault. GIVE HIM THE BALL!!” said another.
“That’s because Josh Allen is a one-read QB. He doesn’t want more responsibility that will actually get him better chances at winning a SB,” a third added.
Coleman walked away from the game with zero receiving statistics. He was targeted just once during the game and was not able to haul in the pass.
Josh Allen And The Bills Offense Dominated In Week 2
Despite the drama surrounding Allen, he successfully led the offense to win in a convincing fashion.
Allen finished the game, completing 13 of 91 passes for 139 yards and one touchdown for a 107.1 passer rating, but it was running back James Cook who really stole the show.
He easily had the best game of his young career, getting 11 carries for 78 yards, two touchdowns, and one reception for one touchdown.
Without his strong performance this game could have gone completely different.
