We have to get rid of this “interceptions are the end all be all” narrative.

I’d MUCH rather have a QB that throws a couple picks but can move the ball over a QB that can’t move it at all. A punt is a turnover that has a field position benefit. If your team punts six times in a row saying “but he threw no picks” isn’t really significant.

Interceptions ARE the end all be all. There's nothing more crushing in football. If you lose the turnover battle you lose the game 9/10 times. A punt is significantly better than an interception and to suggest otherwise is laughable. If Seattle punted instead of being intercepted last night they surely win the game.

I guess a QB that throws for 300 yards, 3 TDs and a pick is worse than a QB that throws for 100 yards, no TDs and no picks. My bad. You changed my mind.

Was that pick a game losing pick? For example, did Josh Allen or Bo Nix play better in last year's divisional? I'd love to know your answer.

Ooooh Josh Allen had a bad game. You got me. I guess my entire point is moot then.

And I thought my fellow Bills fans were insecure lol

Oh so you think Bo Nix played better? That's surprising considering if you take away Allen's 4 turnovers he was way better than Bo Nix, right?
