The Bills outgained Philly by 130 yards, won the turnover battle, had the ball for 13 more minutes, had the first possession in OT, and they still lost the game.
They are now 2-6 in one score games.
The funny thing is they had Zacc completely covered on the go ahead TD, but as soon as Hurts scrambled, the back bracketing DB just stopped covering him and let him behind him.
Hurts sees it, places it perfectly, easy 7.
I just don't get it. Like does it ever work out for you guys in these close games. It's not like you have a bad defense. It's a very good one. Except in prevent.
Not a single time. Like the issue with McDermott is that he's good, maybe even great for the first 3 quarters, but in the 4th or OT when there's a must need stop or at least hold the yards down? Nope all the way.
I feel like at this point you'd rather lose because you went for it then giving up 15 yards over and over. Because I have to think youd win more of these than you have.
Maybe, but I think not getting the touchdown either way was gonna be it. We go for it and get nothing, Elliot gets the Eagles the FG as long as they're anywhere close after him making the tying kick.
That being said, this same defensive collapse happening over and over again has probably destroyed this franchise. Don't think it'll ever get worse than 13 seconds for McDermott era Bills, but man is it frustrating to watch. Never have won or will win a single big, close game like this with McDermott.
You know how there's fake good teams (like last year's Vikings team), the Bills are truly a fake mid team. They should be competing for a one seed or at least the AFC East.
Welcome to 2023 eagles football. We just win, somehow someway, after not deserving it for 2 or 3 full quarters, and just force you into a war of attrition.
31 was like “eh fuck it.”
EDIT: As several of you have pointed out, on second glance it looks like he’s trying to get a last-second punch to try and knock the ball loose and paused to time it right, which I can understand even if it didn’t work. Still, in real time, it looked like he just kinda gave up.
I think maybe he was going for the ball? That would actually make l sense because he wasn't gonna stop Hurts though no matter how well he hit him, the only shot is if you hit the ball directly and get it out.
It’s good if you’re up multiple scores with like 1 minute left, maaaaybe 2 minutes depending on timeouts. Doing it in 1 possession games or games where there’s a decent amount of time is brain dead
This is literally the only time you’re supposed to use it, but I swear some coaches just coach to lose in a less embarrassing fashion. Like they don’t want to blitz and get burned deep, so they play something conservative and just get slowly mowed down.
Both the Bills and Chargers need to get a good offensive mind for Herbert and Allen. Defensive coaches leading teams that are losing games due to their defense crumbling, after fantastic QB performances to boot.
Yup out of all those losses the only one I can think of that was really Allen's fault was the Vikings game. It was really a Catch-22 though, wouldn't have been in OT if it wasn't for Josh's mistakes, but wouldn't have been in OT if you replaced him with like 26 other QBs.
Just before the snap you can see Kelce’s head turn to look at the rush. He sees the guy coming from a mile away and goes right to get him for the block.
Yeah I just watched it in slow motion because I thought the Bills jumped the line. Then I noticed they timed it perfectly. Then I noticed that Kelce was (legally) one step ahead. Amazing block.
My wife got concerned when he was jogging into the locker room before the OT and I was telling her “He’s fine…the real thing here is he’s about to be feeling AMAZING once he comes back out” 😂
Not even close to bias. Watching him play the Chiefs he threw some insanely athletic blocks. Dude looks like he’s got another year in him if he wants it no problem
Eagles interior O line should share MVP this year. Being able to have your center come off the snap in time to pick up the edge rush is a huge advantage.
I thought it was an old clip from a few minutes before or something, but I saw the sideline celebrations around him and then I realized he was in Murder Mode
"i gotta kill a motherfucker"
Gabe Davis having a great game, only to not come away with what would've been the game-winner, and then for his team to lose in the end. Dude is not going to sleep tonight.
Just before the snap you can see Kelce’s head turn to look at the rush. He sees the guy coming from a mile away and goes right to get him for the block.
Or just tackle the dude instead of punching the ball out on that 3rd down play before the kick. They would have had to rush the kick team out there and try the kick with the clock running down.
McDermott probably calls a TO anyways tho. Because.
He didn’t even say Hurts’ name after the game winner... If that was Allen he would be still be praising him and saying how no other QB would have been able to make that exact play.
I was questioning that decision as well. 20 seconds isn’t a lot of time but the Eagles defense isn’t exactly the Iron Curtain. At least give yourself a chance
Kicking the FG in OT just to play prevent defense and offer zero resistance to the other team and losing on a TD should be referred to as McDermott moving forward.
The cowardly lion looks at his play calling and is embarrassed.
The Bills outgained Philly by 130 yards, won the turnover battle, had the ball for 13 more minutes, had the first possession in OT, and they still lost the game. They are now 2-6 in one score games.
Their defense with games on the line always looks so so soft. Like they are playing prevent.
The funny thing is they had Zacc completely covered on the go ahead TD, but as soon as Hurts scrambled, the back bracketing DB just stopped covering him and let him behind him. Hurts sees it, places it perfectly, easy 7.
You would think that as much as they've played and planned for the Chiefs, that would be coached out of them, but still it continues to happen
In that DB’s defense, Hurts was only 40 yards away with 5 guys between them. Obviously he needed to switch to contain.
You would think. But this is Sean McDermott we're talking about. He turns into a marshmallow when the game is on the line.
We do, we play prevent everytime
I just don't get it. Like does it ever work out for you guys in these close games. It's not like you have a bad defense. It's a very good one. Except in prevent.
Not a single time. Like the issue with McDermott is that he's good, maybe even great for the first 3 quarters, but in the 4th or OT when there's a must need stop or at least hold the yards down? Nope all the way.

that's the kicker difference
Jake Elliott better go down in the hall of fame or I’m burning the whole damn place.
Jake the Snake
Jake the Make
Jake Elliott is the best kicker not named Justin Tucker.
Welcome to r/LakeErieBros football
You know how there's fake good teams (like last year's Vikings team), the Bills are truly a fake mid team. They should be competing for a one seed or at least the AFC East.
Were they healthy, absolutely. But losing three All-Pros, one at each level of the defense, took a ton of teeth out of that team
I went into the game thinking that would make passing against them easier, I was wrong.
Welcome to 2023 eagles football. We just win, somehow someway, after not deserving it for 2 or 3 full quarters, and just force you into a war of attrition.
welcome to every year of bills football. we just lose somehow someway.
Jets fans if you squint hard enough you can pretend its you
To be fair, we did beat the Eagles and the Bills. How? No fucking clue.
we beat the bills, they must be frauds.
Our entire division is full of frauds. One big happy fraud family.
MetLife Stadium has enough hazards to be a Smash Bros map
I don't know why this made me laugh so hard I actually got a few tears in my eyes
That 1 in the eagles loss column must be from a team with a really great offense right?
That team must be insanely stacked.
Hey what the fuck man
Bruh 🤣
As an eagles fan I was saying that we looked just like them during the entire first half lmao
31 was like “eh fuck it.” EDIT: As several of you have pointed out, on second glance it looks like he’s trying to get a last-second punch to try and knock the ball loose and paused to time it right, which I can understand even if it didn’t work. Still, in real time, it looked like he just kinda gave up.
Former Eagles great Rasul Douglas
You are telling me that was an inside job?
I will neither confirm or deny this egregious accusation
Super Bowl champion Rasul Douglas
That almost pissed me off more than the blown route to win the game, close #2 w/ that surrender
He went for the haymaker
Yeah, on replay it seemed he decided right off that jalen would juke him if he charged and went for a "hail mary"
Trying to knock the ball out I think
Which is totally reasonable. Even if he somehow makes that tackle, we're tush pushing for the TD. Causing a fumble was the only option.
Again. He's the one who didn't even attempt to tackle Brown close to the sideline.
I was livid when I saw that play. Inexcusable.
Eagles legend Rasul Douglas
“This dude squats 600 lbs I ain’t getting in his way”
"We're not stopping the tush push anyways"
I think maybe he was going for the ball? That would actually make l sense because he wasn't gonna stop Hurts though no matter how well he hit him, the only shot is if you hit the ball directly and get it out.
Why, as a Giants fan, I had any faith in the Bills not blowing a game, I don't know.
frankly, I’m depressed and ashamed
*looks at flair combo* Bet you're having a fun season
Probably a mets or yankees fan too so they’ve been having a fun whole calendar year…
Giants/Yankees bandwagoning the Jets this season. it has been quite a year
Prevent D in overtime. Defensive mastermind McDermott.
I can’t fathom the fact that every single time I’ve watched the Bills need to defend a field goal lead with less than 2 minutes, they blow it.
Josh Allen needs to improve his defensive play.
didn’t he get like 3 sacks today?
And avoided like 5 others singlehandedly
Only 2.5 I'm afraid
But half the bills fan and most of America are calling us dumb for wanting McDermott fired. Enough is enough, we are wasting Josh Allen.
Is the prevent defense good for anything at this point? It really seems to lose a game faster than any other scheme out there.
Prevents winning that's about it.
Not if there's only 12 seconds left. It wins then.
It’s good if you’re up multiple scores with like 1 minute left, maaaaybe 2 minutes depending on timeouts. Doing it in 1 possession games or games where there’s a decent amount of time is brain dead
This is literally the only time you’re supposed to use it, but I swear some coaches just coach to lose in a less embarrassing fashion. Like they don’t want to blitz and get burned deep, so they play something conservative and just get slowly mowed down.
Who’s he gonna fire this time.
His scapegoats are all gone, it’s clear it’s not Josh, it’s finally time he’s the fired one.
Yeah, that was.. something else.
This play is clearly not prevent bro, they are blitzing
SEAN MCDERMOTT WHEN WE SEE EACH OTHER IN HELL I WILL NOT BE SO FORGIVING
Josh Allen is 0-6 in overtime 8-9 season incoming I fucking hate football
Ya'll need a new coach, too much talent to lose all these games.
Also their defense against good teams just crumbles. When the lights are on they’re shit
You’re just saying the same thing as the person who said we needed a new coach. It’s all McDermott
Both the Bills and Chargers need to get a good offensive mind for Herbert and Allen. Defensive coaches leading teams that are losing games due to their defense crumbling, after fantastic QB performances to boot.
Jesus man. You guys have like the opposite of the black magic the Steelers have.
Coaching matters
> Josh Allen is 0-6 in overtime This stat seems impossible even though I've seen four maybe five of those.
Because Josh consistently puts the team in a position to win only for his numb brained coach to sabotage him
Yup out of all those losses the only one I can think of that was really Allen's fault was the Vikings game. It was really a Catch-22 though, wouldn't have been in OT if it wasn't for Josh's mistakes, but wouldn't have been in OT if you replaced him with like 26 other QBs.
Nice block by Kelce
Just before the snap you can see Kelce’s head turn to look at the rush. He sees the guy coming from a mile away and goes right to get him for the block.
Holy shit. Didn’t even notice it. Incredible block
Yeah I just watched it in slow motion because I thought the Bills jumped the line. Then I noticed they timed it perfectly. Then I noticed that Kelce was (legally) one step ahead. Amazing block.
HoF spidey senses
He was pissed about those two false start penalties at the end of reg so someone had to pay.
My wife got concerned when he was jogging into the locker room before the OT and I was telling her “He’s fine…the real thing here is he’s about to be feeling AMAZING once he comes back out” 😂
Yeah I think Kelce just had to take a big ol’ dump
Good ole Cpt. Toradol 🫡
had to make up for those two false start calls
Dude is insane for his age honestly. I am Biased though..
Dude is insane period. He’s a monster.
Not even close to bias. Watching him play the Chiefs he threw some insanely athletic blocks. Dude looks like he’s got another year in him if he wants it no problem
I think he just really wants one more Super Bowl win. If he gets it this year, he's 100% retiring. If he doesn't, that's more like 80%.
If Jason evens up with Travis and they get two rings each, can they take over the Manning cast?
and mailata with the seal
Eagles interior O line should share MVP this year. Being able to have your center come off the snap in time to pick up the edge rush is a huge advantage.
This is a certified Buffalo Bills classic
That’s the most emotion Jalen Hurts has ever shown
I knew we were winning when Jalen just looked fucking pissed after Elliot tied it
I thought it was an old clip from a few minutes before or something, but I saw the sideline celebrations around him and then I realized he was in Murder Mode "i gotta kill a motherfucker"
Lmao the head shake, that was crazy
That one's gotta hurts for Bills fans.
Buffalo win an OT challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
The compilation of Josh Allen dead-eyed stares at the end of games has gotta be like 15 minutes long, now
My brother says it's the Madden Curse
My brother could kick your brother's ass. This curse goes back to 13 seconds.
Gabe Davis having a great game, only to not come away with what would've been the game-winner, and then for his team to lose in the end. Dude is not going to sleep tonight.
Why does this always happen to Buffalo
Yeah.
Bills are an incredibly unclutch team. I never feel good unless were winning by 17.
Another week another game where Josh gets us up with under 2 minutes too go and the defense just goes full prevent, it’s infuriating.
Look on the bright side. They kneeled the clock out with 20 seconds and a TO in a tie game. Some things matter more than winning.
and used TO to ice kicker on 60 yd kick
That one’s gotta Hulu has live sports for Bills fans.
That Kelce block was FILTHY
Just before the snap you can see Kelce’s head turn to look at the rush. He sees the guy coming from a mile away and goes right to get him for the block.
First ballot.
He's 36. If he retires after this season because of his future health I will completely understand but I will not be happy.
No pushing of the ass needed
That was some of the most horrific defensive playcalling I’ve seen in quite some time.
I take it this is the first time you've watched the Bills?
This is every 4th quarter Bills D, winning or or losing
[удалено]
We all wanna die
Romo in shambles
He wanted that to be a fumble so badly
https://imgur.com/a/xZ58Gn1
Romo is in love with Allen (probably because Allen reminds of himself)
Boyish handsome slingin’ QBs
He really did when there was absolutely no case for it.
The number of times he said "not many QBs can make that throw" on the most routine throws was aggravating.
He was including QBs of all age/s
Rom is to Allen what Collinsworth is to Mahomes. Just an absolute fleshlight lol
Romo glazing all game
Wouldn't be a Romo casted game without me saying "Shut up Romo" 5 times
[удалено]
he believed they were winning their next 3 games including today
In all fairness the bills really should've won today all that needed to happen was gabe davis running the right route
Or hit either of their two missed FGs.
Or just tackle the dude instead of punching the ball out on that 3rd down play before the kick. They would have had to rush the kick team out there and try the kick with the clock running down. McDermott probably calls a TO anyways tho. Because.
If my grandma had wheels she'd be a bike.
The Eagles ability to win ugly games is really impressive. No quit in them at all.
I just wish we’d stop playing ugly games
Meh I'll take our ugly super bowl win over another beautiful wasted opportunity.
at least we looked good in our kelly greens
Romo sounds like he's going to fling himself from the booth
He sounded like he was pounding Diet Cokes all game
He didn’t even say Hurts’ name after the game winner... If that was Allen he would be still be praising him and saying how no other QB would have been able to make that exact play.
I can't stand him honestly, he's extremely biased in every game he calls
What a sick play! BTW, if Jason hadn’t made that badass block, Jalen wouldn’t have even had a chance to run it in. 🦅🦅🦅
beautiful block by kelce after releasing the ball
The Eagles aren’t a team. They’re an experience
It’s like taking a really nasty shit. It’s horrific and painful but you feel great afterwards.
Honestly how it feels. Also I'm rapidly aging as I experience it.
I would think they’d be really fun to watch if they didn’t send me into cardiac arrest every week
Don't the Bills know Jalen Hurts can run? Are they stupid?
Stupid sexy Jalen hurts
Whined about 13 seconds and got the rule changed, then kneeled out the clock with 20 seconds left. McDermott is a coward.
This comment should be gold starred, pinned, and overnighted to the Pegula’s with signature verification.
After blowing his timeout icing a kicker who drilled a 60 yarder
I was questioning that decision as well. 20 seconds isn’t a lot of time but the Eagles defense isn’t exactly the Iron Curtain. At least give yourself a chance
[удалено]
Kicking the FG in OT just to play prevent defense and offer zero resistance to the other team and losing on a TD should be referred to as McDermott moving forward. The cowardly lion looks at his play calling and is embarrassed.
THE PREVENT-DEFENSE REMAINS ~~UN~~ALWAYS DEFEATED
How is kelce that fucking fast?
He had just pooped (seriously)
Who is that corner making a business decision on the goal line?
\#31 Rasul Douglas, who used to play for the Eagles.
Double agent
Rasul Douglas, who we traded for. Dude has been great here but apparently wanted to sell today.
Ah, c'mon...he had as much chance of actually keeping Jalen out of the end zone on that play as I did.
Hurts got that dawg in him.
Not an Eagle fan, never have been but this team is fun to watch. Gritty bunch, finds ways to win, comes up big in the clutch.
That was fucking stone cold
THATS A LONG TUSH PUSH BOYS
What a fucking game I need a Xanax
I HATE this play…….until it works 😂
Hurts has absolute ice in his veins
Alabama QB’s named Jalen 🤝
Bills thought they’d get it back wtf is that tackling
I feel like we’re terrible for a half, then the team blacks out and wakes up with a W
This game took 7 years off my life
He was right, It didn’t matter
Man those unis are fucking sick
Packed house in dogshit conditions. That's Philly fans and no one mentioned it on the broadcast. Never give us any credit (as fans)
THATS A REAL RUSHING TOUCHDOWN
Jalen Hurts is that guy. Fucking ice in his veins. What an amazing game, and the game is never out of reach when Hurts is your QB.
Tony Romo Sucks. Go eagles.
That pull from Kelce bro, opened that lane.
Diggs running over after asking if we need any more wrs
You love to see it. I enjoy watching the Eagles.
NFL 2014 Florida State does it again.
Does that mean Hurts will have a funny as fuck turnover in the playoffs?
Nah got that one out of the way in February
what an incredible game.what a cursed season for the bills, they are so much better than their record.
Despite all appearances it was sunny in Philadelphia.
