On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Joe From Queens for instant reactions almost immediately following the conclusion of the Buffalo Bills getting a MVP performance from Josh Allen but still lost to the Los Angeles Rams, 44-42 because of a disgraceful defensive effort.

Allen did everything a human being could do to carry his team to a win. He threw for 342 yards and three touchdowns and ran for 82 yards and three more touchdowns. Six touchdowns, 422 yards of offense and zero turnovers--and Buffalo still lost.

The only thing that stopped Allen and Buffalo offense was the defense, a unit that came into this game one of the better in the league but that was certainly not the case in Los Angeles. Buffalo's defense was outclassed and manhandled on all three levels---defensive line, linebacker and secondary. The guys talk about how quite literally, no one on the entire side of the ball had a positive outing.

The coaching was also terrible too. The guys question what the hell Sean McDermott was thinking using that first timeout after a failed Allen quarterback sneak that took away the option of kicking deep. McDermott also accepted a holding penalty instead of the Rams being faced with fourth and seven.

This is one of the more animated conversations Patrick and Joe have had and with good reason.
