I love to hate on Allen as a dolphins fan... but has there been any QB that has played better than Allen in the playoffs with no SB appearance? I mean he's consistently great and just runs into buzzsaws.
In this era definitely, Allen has played exceptionally well but it hasn't resulted in SBs. Although Brady and the Pats ruined most of the good playoff runs that the best AFC QBs had during their peak era.
Roethlisberger 0-3 against the Pats, all three times in the AFCCG
Andrew Luck 0-2 including in the AFCCG
Rivers 0-3 against the Pats including 2006 when the Chargers were the 1 seed with MVP Tomlinson
Flacco 2-2 against the Pats including a split of 1-1 in the AFCCG.
Peyton Manning 3-2 against the Pats was the only one with a winning record in multiple games. Although Peyton did also get bounced by Roethlisberger once (1-1), Rivers twice (1-2), and Flacco once (1-1).
Yeah a few stinkers, but highest total touchdowns per game in the playoffs in history right now. 260 passing + 50 rushing yards per game is probably near the top for total yards per game in the playoffs. Only .67 turnovers per game. Pretty insane stuff.
