Josh Allen Breaks Character in Strong Message to Locker Room After Sean McDermott Addresses Bills’ Mistakes

Josh Allen. The perpetually optimistic, cannon-armed leader decided he’d seen enough after the loss to the Patriots. “That was just piss poor offense,” he said, the words landing with the force of a blindside hit. There was no sugarcoating, no search for a silver lining. Allen, who is usually the first to absorb a loss, was instead pointing the finger squarely at his own unit’s performance, calling it simply “Bad…Bad Football.” Look, when your franchise QB breaks character like that, you know the alarms are ringing.

He wasn’t wrong, and the tape doesn’t lie. Allen lamented “turning the ball three times in the red zone,” a sin that’s unforgivable in the NFL. It’s a sentiment his head coach, Sean McDermott, echoed with cold, hard clarity. “You can not turn the ball and expect to win, three times… the numbers don’t lie.”
