Forget about his 4 turnovers, which were all awful. 

 

There were plays to be had and he was off all day. 

He missed Knox for a TD and the last drive before overtime

 

He missed missed Hardman in overtime, which would’ve surely put them in fg range. 
 

You need your best players to be at their best in big moments, and they weren’t

 

He had opportunity after opportunity and didn’t get it done. 
 

This is on him and the defense failing in crunch time, again.

 

Title says otherwise. This defense played the way it has all year, I blame the soft zone garbage more than Josh. If he makes the throws he missed? It still doesn't change how bad the defense was. Praying for a turnover isn't good defense

He missed like 4-5 throws all night.

They just came at brutal, scoreboard changing moments.

yea. In the playoffs against good teams, those 4-5 plays are the difference between winning and losing.

Yeah, he never should have dropped all of those passes, and he should have drafted wide receivers instead of focusing on cornerbacks.

 

Wait.......never mind!!! I take it back. Josh Allen is the best player in the NFL. Period.

THE BILLS SCORED 30 POINTS AGAINST THE BEST DEFENSE IN THE LEAGUE. HARDMAN AND COOKS HAVE THE BALL IN THEIR HANDS TO WIN A GAME AND FAIL. 
 

But he choked?

 

RESPONSIBLE FOR TWO TURNOVERS, ONE OF WHICH GAVE THE BRONCOS THE ALL IMPORTANT THREE POINTS (OK, appreciate it was three, but I don't think he can be fully blamed for the third).

LOL, Dane Jackson gets smoked for a TD, as does Darnell Savage, and Ogunjobi hands the Broncos 3 points by jumping Offside….but this loss is on Allen? 

 

Definitely a huge part as much as I love the guy, 4 turnovers is unacceptable, 1 coming 16 seconds before the end of the half that was absolutely pointless and wreckless. 

[dakarider17]

The 1st PI was complete BS.  No interference at all.  

Bills are absolutely nothing without Josh Allen.  they aren't even talked about by anyone.

yeah but why even do that? Take a knee Brady/McDermott, and we walk into half without giving them 3 points 

McDermott is a idiot    First to Cooks maybe great play by defender  Next fumble stupid McClappy and Josh holding ball like wonder bread.  Next fumble Pro Bowl lard ass Dawkins gets smoked on edge even with a chip from WR  Next int bad underthrow/decision by Josh  (maybe Samuel should have run it diff but I'll go with Josh  Final nail Cooks over the top reception to set up game winner FG overturned by NFL/Fanduel/MGM bets/Vegas  Wont even go into McChoker giving up a tuddy up by 4 against HOFer Nix

Even if you think the Cooks play was an INT (which it wasn't), to lump that in when it was a 3rd and 10 play and the Bills were going to have to punt to the same field  position regardless is completely disingenuous. That alone makes your post worth a down vote. Are you Nick Wright?

He literally threw a pass to a WR who caught it in easy FG range, but the refs decided when the defender ripped it from him while he was down that was an interception....like WTF are you supposed to do with that.

 

Think this is one of those plays where happens so fast to say definitely Cooks had it its tough, so when the defender comes out of play with ball, he will get the call every time.  If Cooks still had it in his hands and defender also had hand on it call would go to Bills or if Cook caught the ball ran 4 steps, went down and defender came away with ball, Bills would got call.  But cooks never had it long enough.

He deserves plenty of blame but he still had 349 total yards, 3 TDs, and led the offense to 30 points against the #2 defense in the league. Meanwhile the Broncos scored above their season average in regulation even if you remove the 6 free points they got. This game is on McChoke’s defense per usual.

Really was a microcosm of the whole season. When he played in control we really had a great chance to win. Last week was that exactly.  This week he definitely pressed and tried to do too much.  He didn't take the simple throws today and really wanted to go down field.  That fumble at the end of the first half was brutal. He was also just off on a lot of throws.  The skipped pass to shakir in the red zone, the miss to knox might've scored, as well as some other long throws.  No doubt last week's physical game had an effect today. Even with all that he still had us in position to win.  Wish a couple of his receivers could just make a hard catch once or twice.  I feel for him.

This skip pass take continues to be bizarre…there were 4 broncos there waiting to destroy him that stopped playing when it obviously got caught on a short hop

Just get the guy one or two top 50 talent outside WRs in the draft or free agency in the off season and we never have to have this kind of conversation again.

Some in this fanbase don't deserve Josh Allen.

He choked. And until he wins a ring that is what he'll be known as. We mock the likes of Jackson and Herbert. Unfortunately, for other fans and the media, he will be in the same bracket.

when you look at the post season stats between the 3 of them you will realize how ridiculous this post is.

[Process]

Screen to Shakir. Puts it in the ground. Would have been a TD and put Bills up 8 or 9

 

Knox wide open for essentially a walk off TD and he overthrows it. 

 

Hardman wide open in FG range in OT and he under throws it (still could have been caught). 

 

Three drives to win the game three giant misses. 

 

When the only reason the game was close was because of three ridiculous turnovers by him earlier in the game. 

 

I love Allen. I think he's the best QB in the league. The Bills have failed him for years. But he failed today.

I agree but only to an extent. I think that alcohol is the drivng factor behind most of these anti-Josh posts. Many will wake up in the morning and say wtf.

Knox elevated 6 inches off the ground for that ball.  Every team in the playoffs has at least 1 receiver who can elevate or lay out to catch those balls. Bills fans expect Josh to wrap the ball in brown paper, pay for the postage, drive to the receivers home and have him sign for the reception and take a picture to document the delivery.

Josh was bad today but there is a lot of blame to go around.

Sad but true.
