As stated prior, three times in this season alone (in only 12 games), Allen left the field with a lead and never got the ball again, ultimately losing the game. One could say "but they have a top 10 defense", but that doesn't deny the fact that the defense continues to lose in key times.

You are desperately clinging to the false narrative that “Josh Allen is let down by his defense”.
In the playoffs… i.e. “key times”… Josh Allen and the Bills offense has choked.
There is exactly ONE instance of Josh Allen playing great in the playoffs and the defense letting him down… the Chiefs Divisional Game/13 seconds game.
Otherwise Josh Allen has been mediocre/bad in your playoff losses.
Last year vs Cincy? The Bills offense was held to 10 points and Josh Allen had a 68.0 QB rating.
In 2020 vs the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game? Buffalo was non-competitive after the first quarter and their offense was held to 17 points + a TD set up for their offense at the 3 yard line from a Chiefs fumbled punt return. Josh Allen had an 80.8 QB rating.
And of course Buffalo got to Josh Allen’s only AFC Championship Game appearance that season with their defense… Allen and the Bills were held to barely 200 yards of total offense in their Divisional Round win vs Baltimore.
In 2019 Josh Allen finished with a 69.5 QB rating and completed barely 50% of his passes in a playoff loss to Houston.
Case closed… your narrative is bullshit. |
