The thing that bothers me the second most with this game is now I have to hear about how Lamar is a playoff choker and we'll have to hear about how Josh Allen is such an amazing playoff quarterback.
Under MM/Roman, Lamar had four total touchdowns against 10 turnovers. Funny enough, Lamar had two and two under MM.
That really set the stage for Lamar to be labeled a choker.
Under Monken, Lamar has nine total touchdowns against four turnovers. He's had almost 300 total yards per game and has a passer rating of ~106. He's drastically improved and is starting to look more like regular season Lamar.
Even this game, the two turnovers can't be overlooked, but Lamar was actually quite excellent outside of those.
And I know I keep going back to this, but fucking Mark Andrews, man.
If Andrews catches the pass prior to the fumble, I don't think a turnover happens. Instead, the Bills get the fumble recovery and score a touchdown.
In the second half, the Bills couldn't stop anything from the Ravens. The Ravens offense had two touchdowns and a field goal in four drives.
I think it's safe to assume that Lamar and the Ravens probably could muster a field goal on the drive Andrews fumbled. Instead, the Bills get a field goal.
And then, of course, the dropped two point conversion.
You could make an argument that Andrews mistakes caused an 18 point swing (no drop and the Ravens are primed for a FG (-10), no fumble and the Ravens are primed for a FG (-6), and then dropped 2-PT (-2)).
Literally any of those plays are executed by Andrews and we're talking about the grit of Lamar to overcome an early interception and lead an 11 point comeback. But because Andrews pulled his playoff disappearing act, Lamar is going to draw ire all offseason.
It's such bullshit, man.
