This Loss is on Josh Allen

[NewEra]

This loss is on Josh Allen + the nfl gods.  If we would’ve gotten one of those calls that could’ve gone either way, we win.  Was a PI on moss…but the ref didn’t throw the flag.  Was a PI on Tre… ref threw the flag.  Lots of luck involved in winning super bowls….

 

but if Josh played a better game, we win

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

Yes it changes everything.  The game is over if he doesn’t ground the ball to Shakir

[dayman]

Josh fumbled 3 times, lost 2. 2 picks. 🤷‍♂️ A lot of craziness but you have to put it on Josh. Not to mention missing two separate game winning throws.

Don't worry, he'll force a trade soon enough and you won't have to worry about a rare less-than-perfect playoff performance anymore.

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.

 

 

The game was also close because Josh Allen did Josh Allen things and brought the Bills back.

 

How about these:

Darnell Savage blows a coverage for a TD.

 

Dane Jackson blows a coverage to allow a TD.

 

James Cook fumbles the ball with the Bills driving. Turns into 7 pts.

 

And controversial as they are, Brandin Cooks drops a perfectly passed ball for an INT. The defense then go on to commit 2 DPIs. 
 

Josh knows he didn’t play his best game and made mistakes but there is a heck of a lot of blame to go around.

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

 

It won't be to the media. This is the tag he'll be given. But it may work out well - if it lights a fire under him, come backs fighting... the sad thing is, if we had 2024 Josh this year I think we would have made the play offs. He's regressed, albeit not massively, but enough to make a difference. I don't think 2024 Josh would have made any turnovers today.

[GolfandBills]

Cook and Allen both.  Their two best players cost them that game

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.

 

lol this so ridiculous and I’ll leave it at that

I must've been watching a different game. The only open WR's he missed was that 3rd down to Shakir where we settled for a FG and the last throw in regulation to Knox

Did you not see Dalton wide open with about 30 seconds to go in the game for a touchdown that would’ve won before overtime?

[Niagara Dude]

I thought the play calling on first downs in OT when we had to win the game was both too predictable with runs to Cook when Denver was ready to stop the run.  You need to go all out and throw it on first down.  Could not finish and yes Allen missed multiple throws today that could have won this game but play calling cannot be so conservative when your on the road.  Denver with Nix threw it on every down and took chances and were rewarded

Maybe it was Knox, but it was one of those two that was absolutely wide open to end the game

It was Knox would have been a TD but the ball was overthrown

Exactly, he was just off all day and unfortunately 2018. Josh showed up today.

[Walking Tall]

*****, if choking is putting up 30 against the best defense in the league, on the road, off 6 days rest against a team with 2 weeks rest, and having absolute ***** at wide receiver…and throwing two very catchable balls in OT that would have won the game…even with the turnovers, sign me up.

 

I hope Josh gets traded. I hope he demands a trade. I want to see that man win a Super Bowl.

I joke about this, but i also secretly wouldn't hate it for Josh.

Maybe he needs more fire in the offseason, and more smarts on gameday.

[Success]

Josh is basically in a position where he has very little margin for error.

 

But yeah - he had a bad game, and it cost us bad.  I'll never blame him.  Live & die w/ him - we don't have the kind of team where the D can win a game, or anyone else.

 

 

[Kirby Jackson]

I defend Josh at all times. I wouldn’t say that it’s “on” him but he was a major contributor. He was horrible. The defensive game plan was also horrible. 

[Mikie2times]

We have had a chance to take the lead and likely win the game in three straight playoff losses. Josh needs to own some of that and you know he does. We obviously have no chance of even talking about this without him. He also has made a few very strong throws in these defeats which is relevant. He can’t catch his passes. In the loss to KC last year Kincaids drop and then the Cooks play this year. So that is part of the conversation as well.

No... it's on a lot of the players... and the refs.

 

When you lose on a FG in OT, that's how this works.

 

If Cook doesn't fumble, if Ogunjobi isn't Offside, if Cooks catches the ball or the refs don't go all bizarre to end the game, we win.

 

Josh certainly played his part too, but he's not the reason.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This sucks!!!!
