It's extremely difficult.

0:07.0

I feel like I, yeah, feel like I let my teammates down tonight.

0:11.0

It's missed opportunities throughout the game.

0:15.0

It's been a long season.

0:17.0

I hate out ended and it's, uh,'s going to stick with me for a long time.

0:26.7

Josh Allen after the bill's 3330 lost to the Broncos in overtime.

0:32.1

And look, there were too many turnovers from the bills.

0:37.0

Josh Allen did not play his best game. Brutal. They gave up points at the end of the half brutal gave up points to start the third quarter I never would have dreamed that they'd be in a position to win that game with Josh Allen having the game that he had and there's this anti-Josh Allen sentiment out there that oh everybody's going to say how great how great Josh Allen was. Everybody's going to make excuses for Josh Allen. There's no excuses to be made. If he had played his best game, it wouldn't have been close. They would have won that game easily. And he didn't. And it came down to factors and forces and risks you take when you get yourself into a close game. You get yourself into a close game, stuff is going to happen that's potentially going to

1:13.8

affect the game, whether it's a bad call, a good call, because it's a bad call for them,

1:18.4

it's a good call for you, a gust of wind, a bounce of the oblong ball.

1:22.2

You don't want to be in those situations because it does become a coin flip.

1:27.1

You want to impose your will so you're taking

1:31.1

knees. Every quarterback wants to be in victory formation at the end of the game. Yeah, it's great if you

1:36.3

make the big throw in the big spot and win it. It's a hell of a lot better if you're just taking

1:40.2

a knee because that means you did your job it wasn't close we left nothing to chance and

1:44.2

if josh allen had played his best game on saturday that's what they would have been doing at the end of the game they would have been taking knees and they'd be advancing to face the patriots this weekend it's a tough one it felt like they were the better team in the football field to your point there's no doubt about that they got to be going crazy there in buffalo you know first i want to address what you're talking about people oh people are we're going to make excuses for josh

2:03.8

no one's making excuses for Allen. Nobody's making excuses for Josh Allen. We're going to break it down in right now and tell you some of the mistakes he made in the football game. But why Josh Allen is going to get somewhat of a, whatever you want to say, excuse-free pass, because there's no quarterback that carries their team on a weekly basis more than Josh Allen. Nobody's offense is based around the quarterback and what he does and the playmaking ability he does than Josh Allen. Nobody. Nobody's more valuable to their team in the whole world. You just talk to any quarterback right now, whether you ask Bo, Knicks, or whoever, and they go, man, who's the best quarterback in football right now? They're all going to go Josh Allen. When I talk to defensive coordinators and they talk about defending any quarterback in the sport right now, Josh Allen is at the top of the list. I think he's widely viewed as the best player in the league right now. So because of that, yes, we're not going to maybe put it all on him with some of this because he does so much.

2:53.6

I mean, again, again, I think most people, if I went down the street of Chicago right now and said, name Josh Allen's receivers.

3:00.4

They'd go, I don't know.

3:05.1

Hold on.

3:05.9

Andre Reid.

3:06.9

Khalil Shakir. Oh, okay. Kalil Shakir. Teams are triple teaming him. They're getting. We got to worry. Oh, Kian Kulman. Oh, man, we got to come up with a new game plan to stop Kion Kulman. I mean, so that's where you also have to take that. But to your point, yes, Josh Allen missed some opportunities. There's no doubt. There's so many opportunities. Let's just start with they're up 7-3 and they're driving after a turnover and you're going, damn, they're about to go about 14 to 3 here in Denver. They don't look like they can be stopped. Joe Brady was on fire as a play caller. James Cook fumbles. Game changer right there.
