Remember when Josh was heroically putting the team on his back in the playoffs and dropped an absolute dime deep ball right into Diggs hands who dropped it and jogged back laughing holding his hands in a "it was THIS CLOSE" gesture as if in some universe where the ball was 2 inches lower he wouldn't have blown the entire season? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Washed up diva acting like he's Jerry Rice when he's just a bootleg Peerless Price.
Good riddance, cut out the cancer and maybe we can save the rest of the body.

You should maybe work on phrasing if you think “not true” and “disagreeing” are the same thing/interchangeable. They’re not. Like at all…My phrasing is fine, your understanding of the situation is not. But it's fine, take the L and move on.

Don’t you want Denver to blow their TOs? You still have 2 downs to get 1 yard. Ideally you have your TOs so a basic math says you are in control. One tush push away from a TD. If it’s 3rd and goal from the 2 and 1:30 to play I trust Allen to get me one yard. Same logic I use with all you 13 second’s crybaby’s. We scored, great! Instead of kicking the PAT, go for 2. Play for the kill.
Denver's two timeouts did not factor into the result of the game. In fact, they kneeled the ball multiple times because they got in position to win the game with far too much time remaining, with the Bills actually using timeouts to stop the clock at the end. This should inform your opinion on the mistake of foregoing the go-ahead touchdown on the 2nd and Goal from the 6 play with 2:00 remaining.
It is a different store were the game tied and you had a go-ahead score more or less in hand with a short field goal. That was not the case here; the deficit was too large, the time remaining too great, and the opponents times-out too many.

Your words were “it’s just something you imagined would be better”I rebutted with it’s not made up, a pretty notable HOF QB mentioned it in real time.
And you are saying “no it is because it’s a bad idea”.
I’m not even arguing whether it’s a good idea or bad. In fact in my original post you quoted I said “I prefer to take the points when they’re available”. I also said “Pundits with real liked NFL experiences aren’t infallible”.
But here we are talking about things being made up still….
Any scenario where the correct play was for Josh Allen to slide down at the 1 yard line on 2nd and Goal from the 6 with 2:00 to play, down 6 points, with Denver having 2 timeouts is simply not true. It doesn't matter who says it is true, it just is not.

In our world scoring when we did cost us the game. Should have tripped and fell short of the goal. Hell Denver’s D wanted him to score to get the ball back. Check the tape.
Stop it, you are wrong.
The play was 2nd and Goal from the 6 yard line with 2:00 left, Bills down 6, Denver with 2 timeouts.
Explain to me how the game goes if Josh Allen slides down at the 1 instead of scoring the touchdown with 1:55 to go. I'll even let you just magically gift the Bills a free touchdown on whatever down you think they should, ignoring that like, you don't just get to push a button on the Touchdown Machine.

And hire who? I get it, this loss sucks. We aren't out of it yet. The offense did some good things. Josh and Cook handed the ball over way too many times and we still almost won. The Broncos beat the chiefs not that long ago. No changes til the end of the year. And that's only if there needs to be.
A ham sandwich? Marv Levy? A fan from the stands? Literally anything is better than the rot that has destroyed the team.

No what I’m saying is Allen should have run out of bounds at the 1’ line or fell short around the 1. Then it’s basic math.
What basic math comes up with Allen, on Second and Goal from the 6, falling down at the 1 yard line with 1:57 left on the clock and Denver having 2 timeouts?
-

Allen should have slid short of goal? That makes sense in a perfect world. That ensures a play for the game down 16-22.
No it doesn't. That Allen run was with 2:00 on the clock with Denver having 2 timeouts. It doesn't make sense in a perfect world, an imperfect world, or any world in between.

Peyton Manning said something similar live. Like right when it happened he said “he shouldn’t have scored. He should have gone down in bounds”.You also conveniently left out the part where I said “force Denver to use one of their time outs.” It’s not just the 30 seconds off the clock, it’s them burning a time out.
I get it, nobody is right all the time. I disagree with all sorts of pundits with real life NFL experience. But when a top 5 QB of all time says in real time, “should have gone down and forced Denver to burn a TO”, it’s certainly not made up.
Yes, yes it is. There are times when "going down" to keep the clock running is the correct play.
Second and goal from the 6 behind by 6 points with 2:00 left and your opponent having 2 timeouts is most assuredly not one of them. Whether you're an idiot like Sean McDermott or a genius like Peyton Manning, it doesn't change reality.

I liked the concept of milking the clock on Allen’s scramble we should have instructed him to fall short of the goalline and forced Denver to use their TOs. Being that we scored right away we gave the ball back with plenty of time to spare. It would have been smarter to sneak an onsides kick the ensuing kickoff after Allen’s running TD and recovered the ball at our 40. Worst case scenario they have a condensed field and less field to drive the ball.
No stop that. Allen scored on Second and Goal from the 6 yard line, with 2:00 on the clock.
Denver had 2 timeouts remaining.
We had 3 plays left to try to take the lead.
You really think we should have kneeled on Second and Goal from the 6 with 2 minutes left?
Ok, now it's Third and Goal from the 7 with 1:58.
Kneel it on Third and Goal from the 7? Jeez, risky, but ok! Denver takes their final timeout!
4th and Goal from the 8, we push the magic touchdown button and great news, we win the game! Except that we don't, the exact same thing happens, and we coach ourselves out of a victory by being unable to count to 12.

And none of them can tackle worth a darn.
Because we have a team where, outside of the defensive line, you must be extremely undersized to make the roster. Linebackers are your special teams core, and we simply do not have those here.

In his defense Peyton said the same thing. Cook was moving the ball. We had production from Murray. Go down at the one in bounds and trust your guys. Force Denver to use some time outs.
I subscribe to the “score when you can”. But I get it.
Again, people are just making stuff up.
It was First and Goal from the 7 yard line, with 2:35 left to play.
We handed it to Cook for 1 yard, to take it to the two minute warning.
We ran again with Allen and scored.
Denver had 2 timeouts. There is no "go down at the 1 to run the clock out" scenario. It's just something you imagined would be better than losing the way we did, but just couldn't possibly have happened.

I would have, we win if we do
Wait, seriously?
So it's first and goal from the 7, with 2:35 on the clock and Denver has 2 timeouts.
You are losing, and have 4 plays to try to take the lead.
They ran the ball twice and scored.
You would have what, kneeled on First and Goal from the 7 to take it to the 2 minute warning?
Then Second and Goal from the 8 you would...kneel it again? Ok, Denver takes timeout #2.
Third and Goal from the 9 with 1:58, do you kneel it again? Sweet!
Fourth and Goal from the 10 with 1:56, Denver is out of timeouts, and now you push the touchdown button. Excellent! We win! Oh wait, the same exact thing happens and we just lost by having 12 men on the field again

We did score too fast, we should have just run it up the gut to burn the clock, not run josh wide on an easy touchdown
It was second and goal from the 5 with just under 2 minutes left, with the Broncos having multiple timeouts. What in the world is this nonsense narrative?
McDermott and Dorsey need to be fired immediately, but "scoring too fast" doesn't make the top 500 list of grievances.

then brings up scoring too fast when we got down to the endzone.
There is no way that he said that. Like, it is absolutely something that a complete moron would say so it does make me wonder, but naaaah nobody is that stupid. Just not possible.

Still it's speculation.
Cmon, don't be silly.
Are you honestly saying that someone other than the head coach benched him? Or that perhaps he was benched for something other than his brutal game-changing fumble?

Bruh we know exactly who benched Cook and exactly why he was benched.

Character used to be important to this team
lol chararcter
Even though we know it isn't true (character never mattered more than dumb slogans), it does make me swell with pride to think about all of our Character Victories and Character Championships, rather than the countless humiliating losses fueled by a consistent lack of preparation and abundant in-game coaching blunders.

Josh deserves better than having his career destroyed by a bunch of overmatched clowns. He'd be 100% reasonable to demand a trade, it is that bad. We play checkers against a league filled with grand masters.

I'm 100% on team Fire Them All By Lunchtime, but Cook and Davis both cost their team with bad, bad turnovers and didn't really earn their righteous indignation. Take your medicine like men, ya'll done goofed up real bad and hurt your friends.

I really hope they are dead men walking.
But even if Terry/Beane decide it's over for McD, they will wait until they are eliminated from the playoffs.
Which, I'm fine with. This year is a wash if you change coaches now anyway.
We need a offensive guru HC and there aren't any of those that can install a new offense over the bye week.
The year is already lost. This is not a championship-caliber outfit, and they all need to go. Not in a week, not in a month, not in the offseason. Now. Enough is enough. We have moved to the phase of The Process where they are destroying Josh Allen. This must not be allowed. This must not be normalized.

And, despite it being completely obvious to anyone with 3 functioning brain cells rubbing together, they won't be fired. Billionaire owner far too busy being grifted by slick-talking hucksters who are scamming him out of untold millions. Exactly what you'd expect from the worst franchise in American professional sports history and the laughingstock butt of every joke.

When you have a top 5 QB, there is no such thing as rebuilding.
No matter how many holes the rest of the roster has, if you have an elite QB you are always a playoff contender. That's why it is worth literally everything to get one.
Let's be honest, the entire Bills roster is mostly replacement-level NFL average, with a couple above average players sprinkled around. Every team has an Oliver, Dawkins, Milano to go with their rando commandos.
Was Diggs good? Yes. Was he a top 5 WR? No. Can he be replaced? Yes.
One Josh Allen is worth 50 Stefon Diggs. Swap rosters with the Panthers or the Falcons and we'll still have a strong chance at the division and an even stronger chance to make the postseason tournament.
Plus, now you don't have to make excuses and pretend that your best WR is ACTUALLY a team-first leader and not a selfish diva who is always a nanosecond away from blowing up the entire franchise.
