On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran goes over several of his biggest takeaways after watching back the film from the Buffalo Bills final seconds 13-12 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles that ended any chance of Buffalo winning the AFC east for a sixth straight year, including a major debate on who’s most to blame for Buffalo losing.
After wasting a strong bell to bell defensive effort because an offense that couldn’t get out of it’s own way until the final five minutes, Buffalo scored two late touchdowns in the fourth quarter. However, Michael Badgley missing the first extra point led to head coach Sean McDermott deciding to go for two points and the win after Josh Allen scored with five seconds left, a decision surely rooted in not trusting Badgley to make the extra point to send it to overtime. The play was there to be made, Allen missed the throw (badly) and Buffalo suffered its fifth loss.
A lot of Bills fans put the loss primarily on offensive coordinator Joe Brady, including PK from the Buffalo Sports Collective on the live show here yesterday. Patrick vehemently disagrees though, especially after watching the game back and points out several instances why he thinks it’s primarily the fault of the franchise QB and reigning MVP.
The tape shows that he didn’t much help from his offensive line either and Patrick points out two guys specifically who really struggled. PS: Josh Allen has now been sacked a career-high 40 times.
The other side of the ball was incredible for Buffalo, and Patrick goes over a handful of stand outs and why it’s perhaps the Bills biggest silver lining from this game.
That plus what the Bills may do in their Highmark Stadium finale against the Jets, who they may prefer to see in the wild card round and much more.
