That is objectively false.
* Except!
No TDS in 3 second halves in a row is squarely on Dorsey. Shows lack of adjustment. Even with sud par Josh, ya score a touchdown the 6plus Qtrs (now OT included)
Two endzone shots on First and 10 20 yard line is inexcusable. Low percentage begging the pick
No... let Bill's lose vs Brown . Josh Allen is awful with too many int .
Head coach need fire
Defense coach need fire. . Let start all over new game next year. Draft need New CB and Defense and OL . Dont need RB and WR .
We're down Hyde, Poyer, White, Elam, and Rousseau on defense. Edmunds didn't finish the game as far as I seen, so add him to the list. This wasn't the plan, but it's our reality. Luckily only Hyde will be gone the rest of this season.
I'm more concerned with Josh playing like his 2019 version. The guy was known to never turn it over in the redzone, and now it's common place. Our coaching couldn't figure out that we needed to double Jefferson every single 3rd down/big down. It was sickening watching him destroy our team. Especially with those powder puff passes kirk was laying up. These picks Josh is throwing are 'wtf are you looking at' interceptions. Hopefully this is the lowest point of our season.

Don't worry it'll be fine next week with a win against the Browns.
They won't put up 30 points and they blow coverages left and right so even if bad Josh Allen shows up, WRs will be wide open
What wide open routes will be called. Don’t seem to have any.
Chubb is going to run for 8 million yards next sunday
The Browns are another team who don't seem to know how to gameplan properly.
Chubb could run for 8 million yards next Sunday, absolutely, but Stefanski will make sure that he'll have at max 20 carries and there will be at least 2 Browns offensive series where he won't be on the field.
Don’t care about yardage… if Dorsey could string together a drive… Dalvin numbers are empty.

Just run some deep posts, the Browns seem to let guys just run uncovered deep down the middle of the field.
This year . Bill's will be 8 win 9 lost no playoff this year and no MVP dreaming not true Josh Allen . With too many Int .
2 high has killed it. Dorsey can’t beat 2 high now.
Well, if you actually watched the game, you would have seen the graphics they put up. Since the start of the 2021 season, the Bills are 16-1 in games decided by 8 or more, and 2-8 in games decided by 8 or less, now 2-9.
Those are the actual results with the current coaches and players.

When you collapse a 27-10 lead naturally it becomes a close game but this one deserves its own category
I did watch that game.
The FACT is that the Bill have won two close games THIS year, against very good teams, division leaders, on the road.
To make the statement that they “Can’t” win close games FALSE. You do know what the word “Can’t” means, don’t you???
Most teams, when they have good record, have marginal fans jumping on the bandwagon.
Buffalo has the opposite effect. When they suffer a bad loss, so many “fans”, that we hardly see posting here very much (I can names if you wish), rush in to form the Crap Cart. So toxic.....so emotional....zero perspective or objectivity.
Too much whining piss and vinegar. Boring and insufferable.
Objective observers, who’s profession is to follow and get paid for offering their unbiased opinions do not offer up the same vitriol nonsense.
This is what several are saying....
From The Athletic (owned by NY Times), with three of their writers (none Joe. B. who is also a very objective, intelligent, knowledgable unbiased NFL observer) Jeff Howe, Kalyn Kahler & Ted Nguyen with their weekly “takeaways”.
NFL Week 10 takeaways: Vikings now a Super Bowl contender? Panic time for Bills?
Josh Allen fumbles the snap at his own goal line. Snaps that he has done hundred of times without incident. **** happens. To even THINK this loss shows all the negative baloney being bantered around is just plain dumb. Overreaction on overdrive!!!!The Bills lost at home in overtime in stunning fashion to the Vikings. Is it panic time in Buffalo after two straight defeats? And time to take Minnesota seriously as a Super Bowl contender?
Howe: No reason to panic in Buffalo. As long as they’re healthy — Josh Allen, in particular — the Bills are capable of beating anyone in the playoffs. As for the Vikings, they were taking advantage of a softer schedule, so this was a big-time signature moment for Kevin O’Connell and his team. They now belong in the conversation with the Eagles, Cowboys and 49ers as the best teams in the NFC. Each is good, and each has flaws and something to prove in the playoffs. That conference is still wide-open, so the Vikings should absolutely feel like they have a shot.
Kahler: The Bills will be just fine. I do think it’s time to take the Vikings seriously, as this was their moment to prove they belong in the Super Bowl conversation and they did it, with the help of a lucky fumble. Justin Jefferson’s one-handed, 32-yard catch on fourth-and-18 was one of the wildest, most impressive receptions I’ve ever seen. And that drive ended on one of the worst QB sneaks I have ever seen. Kirk Cousins barely moved. But that fourth-quarter drive is a good way to sum up the Vikings’ up-and-down play. As the season goes on, we’re seeing that it’s more up than down, and at 8-1, this team is a serious threat.
Nguyen: This was a really odd game. The Vikings were down 24-10 and came back, yet the Bills still had the ball up four with 49 seconds left in regulation. Allen fumbled the ball at the goal line, which was recovered for a Vikings touchdown. Then a Bills field goal sent it to overtime.
This game was an accurate representation of the Vikings’ season. It wasn’t a clean performance you feel great about or expect to be sustainable, but in the end, they won like they have all season. But yes, the Vikings are capable of beating anyone. They just beat one of the best teams in the league on the road. But I’m still not sure they are in the same class as the Eagles and Cowboys, despite their record.
The Bills shouldn’t be panicking. Allen isn’t typically as careless with the ball as he was in this game. And in the playoffs, they’ll pull out a deadly trump card: using him in the designed run game.
More....from CBS Sports Jeff Kerr...his weekly “overreactions and realty checks....
NFL Week 10 overreactions and reality checks: Can Kirk Cousins reach the Super Bowl? Is Josh Allen regressing?
Let's determine which Week 10 takeaways are overreactions and which are reality
Kirk Cousins can lead the Vikings to a Super Bowl
Overreaction or reality: Overreaction
The Vikings are a Super Bowl contender and one of the best teams in the league, yet it's fair to question if Cousins can get them to Glendale, Arizona for Super Bowl LVII. Cousins finished 30 of 50 for 357 yards with one touchdown and two interception in the crucial win over the Bills, but failed to win the game on his own merit.
Cousins was bailed out of a failed fourth-and-goal quarterback sneak where he didn't get in, thanks to a Bills fumble at their own 1-yard line on the very next play. The fumble led to a touchdown and gave Minnesota the lead. After the Vikings got the ball first in overtime, Cousins had an opportunity to win the game with a first-and-goal at the Bills' 2-yard line with a touchdown. Instead, he was sacked for a 10-yard loss and threw an incomplete pass -- leading to a field goal and giving Buffalo an opportunity to win the game.
Josh Allen has regressed this season
Overreaction or reality: Overreaction
Allen isn't in his best stretch of football right now. In his last three games, Allen has seven giveaways with six interceptions -- three in the red zone. In his first six games, Allen had just four interceptions and six giveaways.
Allen has completed 58.8% of his passes for 753 yards with three touchdowns to six interceptions over his last three games (67.2 rating). The Bills are 1-2 in those starts, relying on Allen's play to bail them out of trouble.
Leading the league with 10 interceptions and having 13 giveaways, Allen isn't his typical MVP self. While this is a bad stretch of football, the Bills quarterback hasn't regressed. It's too short of a stretch to make that declaration.
Yep. Level headed experts and professionals provide level headed professional observations.
Losers engage in LOSER TALK.
Just like the announcers said early in today’s game....(paraphrasing)....
'In Buffalo there are fans that think the sky is the limit. And there are those fans that think the sky is falling’
I‘ll let you losers WALLOW in your own misery with ’THE SKY IS FALLING” quitter loser talk.
BTW....I’m looking forward to the Bills going on a six game (at least) winning streak.
The Bills will be going into Cincy in week #17 with a 12-3 record.
Yet another panel of experts and none looking at the play calling.
Cntrygal (11-13-2022)
You really are nit picky.
16-1 in blowouts. 2-9 in close games. If you don’t see the drastic difference in results, I can’t help you.
I don't think that's 100 percent true. A big factor in the early games was the other guys making really good-to-incredible catches. That makes Allen look better. The last 2-3 games the other guys weren't doing that and catches became drops. They got that back a little bit today, but Davis, Knox, and even Diggs had big drops today that could have made a difference.
The other guys on O can't do anything when Josh is throwing int's as if the defender is a receiver on his team, or botching a simple snap in a critical part of the field and game.
