To be fair, Bills fans had seen it before. Ravens are the one team in the NFL that is an extremely difficult matchup for us. Last season, they blew us out, and it looked very, very similar for the vast majority of the game. You’d have had to be delusional to think we actually had a shot down the stretch, Josh Allen or not. Let’s be real. Allen was amazing. But the only reason he had a shot was Ed Oliver. And the fact the defense made a play was a miracle in itself, based on everything we witnessed to that point.
That said… I was at a backers bar in Portland, Oregon. Left at halftime. Had nothing to do with the score, and everything to do with the fact I was with my 8 year old on a “school night”. Did I want to leave? Hell no! I got there 1.5 hours before the game to make sure I had a good seat. But my point is, we don’t know the circumstances for all of these fans. Some of them may have had valid reasons to leave when they did.
And frankly, if Allen didn’t say anything about it, this wouldn’t even be a story.
