The Buffalo Bills once again saw their season end in the playoffs before even getting to the AFC Championship game, this time a 33-30 overtime loss to the Denver Broncos.
Josh Allen and Co. Turned the football over for fun, with fumbles and interceptions plaguing them all game.
Yes, we can make all the arguments we want about Brandin Cooks' "catch," but there were a host of plays missed on both sides.
With Allen failing to take advantage of a postseason without Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, and Joe Burrow, many are now wondering if Allen will ever lead this team to a Super Bowl appearance, let alone win it.
But for ESPN's Rex Ryan, he still has belief.
"They will be back because of that dang quarterback right there," Ryan said.

Should we have Bills belief?
As long as you have Josh Allen, yes, you should.
But perhaps a more interesting point is this.
Maybe fans shouldn't have faith in Allen and Buffalo until they actually do something of note in the postseason.
That is a conversation starter, but is there a hint of truth to it? Yes, we know Allen's talent, but so far, he hasn't done anything with it in the playoffs.
He's played well, but has nothing to show for it.
Rex has faith in Allen and the Bills, and so I do, but faith only gets you so far after years and years of playoff failure.
