Bills have a playoff problem..It’s not Josh Allen (Warren Sharp)

[K-9]

Not only is Josh not the problem, he’s actually one of the best playoff QBs in history.

Yeah - the playoff problem is the chiefs.  It's been the chiefs.  Its everyone else in the freaking AFC's problem too.  They have played in 5/6 super bowls and 7 straight AFC championship games.  

largely due to us

Lol, Sean. We knew this after he blew 13 seconds. Andy would have 1-3 rings with the same Bills rosters.  

Yes it's our HC that can't even call a squib kick in the 13 seconds game 

 

Does anyone think think that Andy would make the same mistake ?

Meh. Ravens are 0-1 against them, and they held the Chiefs to 17 points in that one loss it was just their offense couldn't get anything going. Bengals are 1-1. We're 0-4 while averaging 28.25 PPG. So I wouldn't classify it as just "an AFC problem." Beyond the annual wildcard participants, we're the primary reason the Chiefs dynasty exists and that's despite our offense performing quite well over the course of those games.

I hate seeing ignorant fans say stuff like "Allen always comes up short in the playoffs" or "Allen can't beat Mahomes when it counts."

 

I'm hoping w/ the investments on defense we'll actually be able to make some stops this year.

There were other games though. Burrow won one. Lamar ofer. Herbert and Stroud. Nothin. Everyone else. Nothing. This is sustained dominance over everyone. Til philly I guess.

Yup Eagles are 1-1

Niners 0-2 but they haven't had a QB

 

it's an us problem

Saying it's just a chiefs problem is tidy but it's not really true unfortunately

Sure, he's not the problem. But wouldn't you want the ball in his hands late in the game with a chance to win? Had that the last two years...

Hit by his own lineman who was blocked into him.

Hit his TE on a crazy pass downfield to have it dropped.A pass only he can make under that duress.

 

Only reason we are in the position to MAYBE pull out a victory is Allen. 
But, yeah, he’s a choker and not to be trusted when push comes to shove 🤦‍♂️

No I don’t… I want the ball in his hands late in the game with the lead because his defense forced some punts and preserved said lead.

Josh is THE reason we have been where we’ve been.

This dead horse has been beaten so much it might actually get up and walk again😜

No Josh, And this regime would have been gone years ago. 
Yes, they found the golden goose but not much else. 
“ Hero ball” has a different connotation these days, imo. It’s what we expect and get from Josh on such a regular basis that many can’t even see how insanely high his average level of play consistently is.

Herbert has never faced Mahomes in the playoffs.

 

the Bills would have to win 4 straight against the Chiefs in the playoffs to have the same record as the Bengals. 
 

It’s unfortunately a fact that if we had gone .500 against the Chiefs in the postseason, they would have at least 1 less SB appearance.

It is our D that is the primary reason.

Mahomes looks like a chump when he runs into a good D. Tampa did it too .

I haven't seen anything to indicate a McDermott coached team will ever beat a Reid/Spagnuolo coached team when it truly matters.

I saw this article from Warren Sharp he wrote in March it looks like. I couldn’t find it on here and used the search button didn’t see it. So I don’t think it has been posted. 
 

Great article showing how good Allen has been in the playoffs. I linked it below. 
——————————————————

 

In the last five seasons, only two teams have exceeded 55 regular season wins: the Chiefs (66) and the Bills (61).

Regular season wins are fine…if they lead to better seeding and playoff success.

Despite the Chiefs and Bills both leading the NFL in total wins over the last five seasons and each making the playoffs all five seasons, the Bills lag behind in playoff success.

In the playoffs, the Chiefs have:

4 Conference Championships

2 Super Bowls

 

Meanwhile, the Bills have:

0 Conference Championships

0 Super Bowls

 

 

It is not so simple to suggest the Bills are great in the regular season and bad in the playoffs.

 

In fact, in the playoffs over the last five years, the Bills have 12 games played (second most in the NFL) and 7 wins (second most in the NFL).

Beyond that, they actually have a winning record in the NFL playoffs: 12 games, 7 wins, 5 losses.

 

There are only 6 other teams with a winning record in the playoffs the last five years, and ALL of them have at least one Conference Championship victory and Super Bowl appearance to show for it.

Chiefs

Rams

Eagles

Buccaneers

Bengals

49ers

Allen is not the playoff problem

It's called injuries + bad officiating.

Dawkins got beat clean, pushed back into Allen almost immediately before Shakir could clear for a wide open go ahead TD.  Bass misses the chip shot FG to tie. 
 

Kincaid drops a miracle play by Allen.  
 

As is typically the case.. Allen is let down by those around him.  Meanwhile, in Bills/Chiefs playoff matchups, Mahomes can count on his guys to make plays (both sides of the ball).

You prefer regular season wins over playoff victories? Is a week 4 win against the Saints more significant than a conference championship?

Im joking FFS dude. I’m so sick of people declaring wins don’t matter it’s all about a Super Bowl.  It’s like declaring you like steaks over dog *****.

They were outclassed in two losses .. coaches gagged and found a 1 in a 100 way to lose in another  …and they had their chance in the other two..but some dropped passes and D struggle to get stops didn’t help …

Brady and mahomes are both less efficient and less productive than Allen in the playoffs

I’m speaking specifically to end of game drives when it score to win scenarios in the playoffs. Brady/Mahomes are ahead of everyone, merchants of death level nuts. Literally the remaining field is a notch below them.
