I'm not blaming, just stating cold, hard, undeniable facts.
Has Joe put his team in a position to win, late in games all year long? Without a doubt.
Has Joe played at an MVP level this year, arguably the best at his position right now? Without a doubt.
Has Joe had the ball in his hands 5 times this year with a chance to extend the lead or win a game late--and failed every time? Without a doubt.
You can laud his MVP play, overall. You can say he's doing as much or more than anyone to put his team in position to win.
You also can't deny that when they put the ball in his hands, against NE, KC, Balt x 2 and LAC, with a chance to ice or win the game, he has failed each time to close it out. You can minimize it, excuse it, do whatever you want with it, but it can't be denied that when the game was there to be won, when he had the ball and an opportunity to run or throw the team to a dub, he failed each time.
