I am talking about ends of games. The defense made precisely zero stops vs the Jets in the last quarter and allowed them to convert a fourth on their final possession to bleed clock, preventing the Bills from trying for a TD in regulation. Allen and ST were bad, but the defense made precisely zero plays in the final quarter too.
Wrong. The beginning of the 4th starts with us making the Jets punt it away with a sack on 3rd down. If I remember correctly, the Jets had all of 6 points with 5 minutes left...in regulation. And that was with Josh giving the ball to them all game along. With 9:44 left in the 4th Allen throws a pick leading to the incredible catch by Wilson for a TD. No problem. We have the incredible Josh Allen. We'll come back and win this one. Why? We have Allen. Well, the VERY NEXT PLAY, Josh fumbles to ball over to the Jets AT OUR 25 yd line. Yet, our defense holds them to 3 points. 3 points. I guess the defense has to cover for Josh on every mistake or it's on them. OK.

Once Upon a Time in America maybe over 30 or 40 years ago American culture did live by those words. They were brought up on a steady diet of John Wayne, Steve McQueen, Clint Eastwood, Sean Connery, Chuck Norris, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis and Al Pacino movies to name a few. They were pro- America and were the social influencers of the day. The warrior ethos
When Chuck Norris does a pushup, he's pushing the Earth down.
Chuck Norris doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants.
Time waits for no man. Unless that man is Chuck Norris.
The flu gets a Chuck Norris shot every year.
When Chuck Norris does division, there are no remainders.
Chuck Norris breathes air ... five times a day.
When God said, “Let there be light!” Chuck Norris said, “Say Please.”
The dinosaurs looked at Chuck Norris the wrong way once. You know what happened to them.
Chuck Norris does not own a stove, oven or microwave, because revenge is a dish best served cold.
The only time Chuck Norris was ever wrong was when he thought he had made a mistake.

A coach is a control freak. Why is this news? He’s a coach. Aside from the GM who has to have control over the team? Yep, the coach.

No. It's because Josh is not replaceable. He's our QB for the next decade. If his poor play single handedly loses us just one game a year that is a really really good outcome.
McDermott on the other hand is easily replaceable. And he was the biggest reason for several of our losses this year.
Trying to blame Josh for this disappointing season isn't problem solving, it's just whining. He totally sucked in that Jets game, it happens. I don't just whine about McDermott for fun. I want him replaced.
That first paragraph was just…wow!
I don’t whine about Josh for fun. What kinda crap is this? I’m not blaming Josh only. I did point out most failures were team failures. Including Josh. There’s even a short on YouTube titled “Josh’s weekly interception’. I’m pointing out that he’s excused too much here. How you can say it’s a good outcome for the season that Josh “only lost one game” ? Perfect example of sweeping things under the rug or excuses for him. That loss is crucial to playoff standings. And Josh lost that crucial game all in his own.

"scoring rushing TDs at an unmatched rate" is what I said that you conveniently ignored.
He's scored more touchdowns than anyone. You'd have a point if that wasn't the case. The pick was costly, then we marched down the field and took the lead again. Know what was more costly? The defense failing to get two stops in a row to end the game.
Yep, missed this. My bad. not ignored, just missed it. IMO, my point still stands. You can't lead the league in turnovers and not take some of the blame. A 7-5 record vs a 6-6 record makes a ton of difference right now. Josh losing the Jets game by himself has hurts our playoff chances. Yet folks here point to the NE loss or Denver. Why? It's a way to forget Josh lost a game all on his own. How did the "unmatched rushing td rate" help then? Proves my point. You can't lead the league in turnovers and just skate from responsibility. That Jets loss could cost us a playoff berth. And it didn't have to be. Four turnovers, when "only" three turnovers would have won us that game. You get the point.
This is not about absolving the rest of the team. It's about deserved criticism for Josh and his propensity to give the ball to the opposing team. It's that simple.
I wrote: "this failure is a team effort, Josh included". Josh gets all the excuses. 8 games in a row with a pick. Can't keep doing that.

You can if you're throwing 40+ times a game, and scoring rushing TDs at an unmatched rate and are a top rusher for your team.
The average NFL game ends around 20-17. The average number of points scored by both teams is 46. If you're scoring 30 points you should win the game. This was a failure on the defense and the head coach primarily. It's a false equivalence to say the offense has equal blame.
Unmatched rate?!?!? 15 td passes to 9 ints in the past 8 games. 😂
The league leader in turnovers 3 years straight and that's not a problem?!? Since 2020 he's thrown more picks than Derek Carr, Baker Mayfield, Jared Goff. You name him and Josh has him beat. That pick in the Philly game was VERY costly. It was in the 4th qtr, at OUR 25 yd line. We HAD the lead at the time.

This is bat feces crazy talk. The suggestion that the INT against the Eagles was a killer when Allen drove the Bills down for what should have been the winning TD in the last 2 minutes is beyond stupid.
I guess by responding to you I'm feeding the trolls but damn there are a lot of trolls on 2BD recently.
Maybe I should have had the statement "this failure is a team effort, Josh included". Josh gets all the excuses. 8 games in a row with a pick. Can't keep doing that.
As for bat feces crazy talk, are you suggesting that pick, at our 25 yd line didn't hurt our efforts in the game? It was killer. There is a reason Josh had to drive us down for the game winning TD. He had a hand in those 7 points Philly scored there. We lost by 3 points, that turnover was killer.
I'm one of the most "half glass full" posters here. I'm merely pointing out how Josh gets no blame when he had a direct hand in the loss. A lot of people use the troll moniker when a Josh mistake is brought up. Hardly a troll. I love Josh as our QB, but when he makes a mistake and it's called out "troll" is brought up. Some here act like he craps golden eggs or something. It's ok to call him out like we do to others. It really is.

And on the series of downs following the INT, the defense allowed a long TD on a 3rd and 15 play.

I can’t link because I didn’t save them and cannot provide screen shot because the files are too large. But here’s a copy and paste:
Nick Veronica @NickVeronica
Follow
The Bills have managed to lose 6 games by 6 points or less in the first 12 weeks of the season.
Congrats, no team in NFL history has done it more than that.
20 others matched that total — most recent were the 2015 Ravens & 2012 Panthers, whose D coordinator you might recognize.
And:
Michael F. Florio @MichaelFFlorio
Josh Allen threw for 339 yards and 2 TDs, while rushing for 81 and another 2 TDs. Scored 34 points. They lost.
3 times this year Josh Allen has scored to give the Bills a lead with under 2 minutes left and they've gone onto lose. It all comes down to one person
He also threw a pick that gave philly the ball at our 25 yd line that led to a TD, in the 4th qtr. That TD gave them the lead. He's been putting the defense in a bad spot way too often. It's not just his year. It's happening way too much. This failure is a team effort, Josh included. Since the win over Miami he's thrown an int. in 8 straight games. That Int. in the philly game was killer. He literally lost the first Jets game. By himself. Our "best player" cannot lead the league in turnovers and be absolved of any blame.

That Allen Int looms large.
Dropped Cook TD
Bass with 2 misses
This one will hurt if we lose.
Players, not coaches. Like the first jets game.

In this game Hurts has 2 turnovers. Allen has one. Your comment is mentally challenged.
Nah. I said he leads the league in turnovers. If I was referring to this game, maybe. This is an issue and it’s on him. Can’t keep blaming others.

If we win, will we see a post by @Prospector on how we screwed our chances at a better draft pick?
Win or lose, SMFH at the crying babies here. It was only 7-3 with all the crying. “ we need to lose this game for draft position “.

Most undisciplined Bills team I’ve ever watched. Way too many crucial mistakes every game. Dropped passes, horrible penalties, awful clock management, piss poor decision making all around. At the end of the day, this is on the HC. See you later Sean, you're next out the door.
I’m guessing you started watching this franchise 5 years ago?

If this happens then I think McD needs to answer some tough questions about why he didn’t make a change sooner.
That type of run against the gauntlet of teams upcoming would be a clear and direct indictment on Dorsey.

I didn't say that though, I said we don't know if they still would have gone WR once the big 3 were gone. They liked Diggs more than the remaining rookie prospects is all we know, and its not like he was wrong about Diggs. Jefferson may have very well still been the pick.
And you can't blame Beane or any GM for that matter for not knowing Jefferson would be this good, no one knew he would be and that is an impossible thing to know for anyone.
He went 22nd. You know who went 21st? WR Jalen Reagor. Drafted by fan favorite of their gm here (Philly). Reagor lasted 2 years in Philly and has bounced around 2 more teams since. Beane would never live that one down if he made that pick. For all the hoopla KC gets, they drafted RB Helaire in the first round of that same draft. Only to have him replaced with a 7th rd rb. All praise to KC for drafting Pacheco here, forgetting (conveniently?) that first round bust of a pick. It happens to every gm.
Go Bills and go Beane!!!You too McD!!!

I'd much rather have John Lynch as a GM (49ers) or the Eagles guy or Chiefs guy...they seem to have hit on more picks and free agents. Their teams have made it to super bowls and not fallen out before like Marty Schottenheimer like teams.
Rousseau isn't putting up the sack numbers worth the pick on him. Von Miller has been a huge waste. Oliver isn't either and we passed on much better DTs and other positional players when taking him (Dexter Lawrence was available who is a monster DT, as well as Jaire Alexander (stud corner) and Fred Warner who has been a stud MLB for the 49ers and would have been much better than the failed Edmunds experiment). Elam has been a bust. We took Cody Ford over Metcalf and then had to spend a draft pick to get Diggs which is what Metcalf would have given us (better explosive deep threat). And we took Boogie Basham over Creed Humphrey who is a stud center. And gave up Wyatt Teller. All those moves have been very bad and our offensive line and defense has suffered for it particularly, as well as our explosive deep ball game.
Lynch? Can people here imagine if Beane screwed up drafting a qb like Lynch did. Quote below from an article about it.
“Over the 2021, 2022 and 2023 drafts, the 49ers traded 12th, 29th, 101st and 29th picks for the privilege of taking Lance. One of those picks was used to choose Micah Parsons, one of football’s best defensive players.”So, he trades a boat load for Lance, Dallas drafts Parsons with one of the picks AND then end up trading him TO DALLAS for a 4th. Somehow Lynch made Jerry look like an actual GM who knows what he’s doing. IMO that’s enough to remove Lynch from that list. Again, what would this place be like if Beane effed up that bad?
