On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens to discuss the Buffalo Bills heartbreaking overtime playoff loss in Denver, with the defeat serving up some indictments on the organization that may (or may not) lead to changes.
The Bills fell on the wrong side of history in depressing fashion, becoming the first team in NFL history to be eliminated from the playoffs three consecutive seasons by three points or less. This time a lot of the blame falls squarely on the shoulders of Josh Allen, who uncharacteristically played awful. Allen turned the ball over four times and three of them were his fault. He also missed some very makable throws, including a ball to Dawson Knox on the Bills last offensive snap of regulation that would’ve won the game. The guys discuss how disappointing it is for someone as talented and valuable as Josh to play so poorly.
Officiating was clearly at the forefront of this one too. The guys discuss whether they think Brandin Cooks should’ve been ruled as having caught the ball and a few other terrible calls that went against the Bills.
They also discuss several other factors that Patrick feel serves as indictments against both Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane. Will it lead to any changes?
Also, how much does this loss and playoff exit hurt more than the others? That plus the Patriots going to the AFC title game makes this all feel sicker, what could the offseason look like and much more.
