Where, yes, this is an excellent quarterback who did give his team an opportunity to get back in the lead, to have a chance to put this game away late.
But you look at those, you look at those sequences of turnovers and it's not,
It's rarely just the turnovers in a vacuum.
It's almost always how the turnover looked and then what it immediately did to game flow, right?
Late in the second quarter, you really could have just been playing out the string to get to halftime.
But I'm not mad at trying to make a push to see if you can get in field goal range because you're playing at altitude that extends your range, right?
I think that you should be feeling good about trying to push the points.
I like that decision.
Just flat out.
I criticize coaches who don't go for it.
distinction go ahead no I'm right there with you and I think that again game flow matters at least so much for me right they have been moving the ball at will in the first half especially on the ground I thought there was an opportunity to really catch Denver on their heels going into the half not that they were going to put together a touchdown drive but you get in range maybe get an opportunity you know to take a big deep shot even with the scramble hey get what you can see if you can maybe squeeze some extra out of it he's really loose with the football he has to own that 100% of the way to come right back out
And it's a tough situation to be in when your pass protection breaks down as quickly as it did in the first drive coming out of the half and you get blindsided.
But again, ball security matters.
Right.
And for the big quarterback, one of the selling points of why Josh Allen is a game breaking quarterback is that the guy is built like an ox.
Right.
He's one of those humongous six, four plus two hundred thirty plus pound guys that address your struggle to take down.
and we expect him not to fumble even if he's taking sacks.
So to have those back-to-back turnovers, which allowed Denver to get points in a really cheap way without having to be efficient on offense, and they were not towards the end of the half and opening up the second half, really all the way throughout the third quarter, I think that those really sting.
And I would say while all of the misses are not on him, the one that was most disappointing was the deep shot he takes, which ended up being intercepted by the backup safety in Denver, Locke.
