Another season has come and gone for the Buffalo Bills and fans will now have to wait for next season to see the Bills take the field. For the fourth time in five years, the Bills were sent home by Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. The nightmare continues on for Buffalo and who knows if they will ever get past them.
Fans can only feel bad for Josh Allen from this latest heartbreaking loss. He always put the team on his back and does his job. The rest of the team? Not so much. Whether it’s the rest of the offense not supporting him or the defense allowing yards after yards after yards, Allen has come up short but not because of his performance.
Say what you want about Allen and his “lack of statistical numbers” this season as compared to someone like Lamar Jackson or Joe Burrow. Allen was the heart and soul of the Bills and without him, Buffalo doesn’t come close to making the playoffs. Not only did Allen completely lower his turnover numbers, he also became the first player in NFL history to have 40+ total touchdowns in five consecutive season.
He pass, ran, and even caught touchdowns this year for the Bills. He was unstoppable and he did it without having a true go-to weapon on offense. The fact that he’s only made the conference championship twice and never had a Super Bowl appearance is unbelievable and it shows an unfortunate fact about head coach Sean McDermott.
Since the start of Pro Football Focus, Josh Allen has passed former Patriots and Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady for the most consecutive seasons with a 90+ grade (5 seasons).

Sean McDermott is wasting Josh Allen's prime in Buffalo
It’s sad to see Allen be held back by the lack of discipline from his teammates and coaches in crucial playoff moments. Having a quarterback like Allen and not being able to atleast win the AFC is ridiculous to understand. I get it, Patrick Mahomes is in the same conference and he is very good at football.
However, to lose four times in the last five years to the him and the Chiefs should get Bills Mafia very angry. The good news is that Allen is still young and doesn’t look like he will be leaving his prime anytime soon. At the same time, McDermott needs to prove that he can get the rest of his team to show up for Allen and not make him into a “What if” type of quarterback.
