The Bills fans were not happy with the way their team performed.
As an ESPN reporter shared a rather peculiar detail on Twitter, fans had an overtly hostile reaction to the news. Admittedly, the news was about Josh Allen and his behavior after the game.

After the game, an ESPN host, and NFL reporter by the name of Diana Russini was reporting on how the Bills QB might be looking. She seemed to be reporting his live actions a little literally. According to Russini’s tweet, Allen was just blankly sitting and staring at his phone. He seemingly did this for a long time before entering the showers.
The fans were already on edge with Allen’s classless behavior on the field while playing against the Bengals. However, it seems like the fans were even more annoyed with the way Allen’s condition was being reported. One fan curtly reacted to the way the reporting was done.
Guy carries the team that's why

Another fan threw some shade on the unfair advantage Allen seemingly had.
Waiting for the NFL to bend more rules so they can keep playing.

Furthermore, there were fans who were convinced that Allen should be used to this by now.
He's gotta be used to losing in the playoffs by now, that's his thing

Fans also believed that the QB does not show up when it actually matters.
He was getting a selfie. Great QB but does not show up in big games.

Furthermore, there were fans who were talking ill about the Bills.
Sorry but the Bills are just not that good. They NEVER really overpowered anyone this year. Simply put Cincy and KC are the two best teams in the AFC. The Bills are a distant 3rd

The Bills’ slander continued with this fan’s reaction.
Just realized he’s on a crap team.

However, there were fans who did not consider the QB to be anything great.
Josh Allen is overrated
— Herb Tarlek (@herbytarlek) January 22, 2023
Fans did not seem like they were very impressed with the way Allen performed on the field. Allen’s performance in the playoff game was shockingly mediocre against the Bengals.

Allen’s disappointing performance
While Josh Allen has had some impressive games in the regular season, it seems like his playoff game was nothing good. The quarterback has zero touchdown passes and 1 interception with 265 yards covered. The stats of not having even one touchdown is surely to become a disgraceful mark on the QB’s career.
With a sad performance in the playoffs, Josh Allen’s and the Bills’ season came to and end. The Bills’ championship dreams were quashed once more. It only remains to be seen if the Bills make any changes to their staff to ensure this does not happen again.
