Without Allen where would they be though. Dudes been carrying Beane and McD on his shoulders for years

 

Another simplistic take. So nothing the Bills do right on defense is because of the defense, it's all Josh Allen? Amazing the impact he has.

it's a lot easier to play defense when your offense QB score basically at will

Having the 2nd highest scoring offense helps, but we also run the ball a lot more. So maybe Cook gets some credit too?

Very simplistic take. How many of those seasons were we forced to bring in players off the couch due to injury? You also ignore all the dropped passes, bad penalties and bad spots by officials that also contributed to our lack of success on offense.

 

The defense has let us down in the playoffs whether we've been relatively healthy or not, that's really just a tired excuse. 

 

We have not had a lack of success on offense in the playoffs, that's the whole point. The offense has done it's part and more, the defense hasn't and has wasted great offensive performances from our elite QB. 

 

What we've seen is not normal at all. Elite QB's don't historically consistently lose big playoff games that they play great in. This is a unique problem that we have had because we have had a historically bad defense in games where it matters most.

yes Cook gets credit

 

but he definitely benefits from our RPO/PRO stuff, which is again QB related

Is it tired? Blaming the defense for everything is tired.

Except when we needed one yard for a first or a catch on 4th down. Our offense had plenty of moments when they fell short.

Dan Marino. Peyton Manning. Drew Brees. Jim Kelly even.

You literally glossed over the last and most important part of the comment about the elite Qb's when I said "games that they have played great in".

One thing is abundantly clear about McDermott:  He will take decision-making over athleticism every time. Every time. 

 

McDermott wants the guy who reads and reacts correctly on every play. If he's a half-step late getting to where he needs to be, McDermott will live with it. 

Yup, he chooses his scheme over playmakers.  And you wonder why we never sniff a SB.

With no talent around him on offense either.  Just Josh, all by himself

And our offensive line
