They got multiple calls wrong. Key calls. And tried to change others, that final TD being one. You cannot honestly say the refs didn't give the Chargers the benefit of every possible doubt. I've already seen 2 PI calls in the Cowboys/Giants game that had far less contact than the Chargers had on us. Yet they were'nt called. The extra time out before the half? The fumble we recovered that they allowed the charger to wrestle away and then give to them? The JP pass that tey called back because his knee was down, but it wasn't? That's just off the top of my head. I'm all for calling the refs out when they skew a game in favor of one team. And that's exactly what they did today.

No way a pooch goes uncovered. The onside kick was the only option. It really wouldn't have mattered, however. Regardless of the outcome of that kick, we were predetermined to lose that game. Hell the refs had to conference up just to allow the Price TD, when that was as obvious a catch as you could ask for in that situation.

That's 1 of at least 5 plays, they screwed us on. I was going back to count up, but lost count in the 3rd quarter when the refs were pulling every trick possible to give SD the ball.

JP played a hell of a game today. He made some bad throws, for sure. I actually think the cold weather affected him. However, he fought the whole game and with a few great 3rd down scrambles kept a few drives going. He also lead down the field in the 2 minute drill and scored (which baffles me even more why they don't do that before the half). So, I'd say a solid game by JP.

Ed Hockmeup earned a big Christmas Bonus.

Nope, no review.

That play was clearly a fumble. And the replay clearly showed Hargrove on the ground with 2 hands on the ball, with the ball between his legs and a Charger all over him. Result... Charger's ball. It was BS.

A fair amount. I'd put them right behind te refs's blown calls and piss poor decisions.

Isn't it a penalty for the coach to run onto the field and scream at the refs?

Gotta get aggressive on those final drives before the half. Those 7 points are huge at the end of the game. Then, they've got to donate heavily to the Referee's Christmas party. Because it's obvious the refs don'tcall the game equally for us and opposing teams. Do those 2 things, and we have a playoff run next year.

He needs to go knock Hockerbitch in the friggin mouth! That's what I'd do. If they're gonna give the game up, we might as well take one of them down with us.

Too little too late from the refs. They've already given this game away.

Now we take the knee. Content with a 17 point deficit.

This score is totally on Jauron and his chickenshit play calling!

Dooooomed!

Any time you see a QB with 50+ attempts, its usually a loss. That is not a winning game plan, never has been. That's usually a team trying to catch up. To say that you want to see what Losman can do, so let him throw on every down suggests that you can't see what he can do in 25-30 attempts. In the last 2 weeks, I think we've all seen what JP can do. He's had good yardage on a good number of attempts; he's managed the game well; and led the team when needed. If you're still not sold on him, I doubt you ever will. Given it'll be windy, perhaps wet (snow), and we want to keep their offense off the field; to call a gameplan that's throwing the ball 40+ times is a recipe for a loss.

As opposed to all those great defensive games that shut down our opponents? You are watching the Bills each week, right? (that was a rhetorical question) I'd agree I don't think it'll be a low scoring game, although keeping the Colts to 17 points gives hope. However, I'm thinking a mid to low 20's.

Agreed. This list is complete garbage. How can Cutler even be on it?

Absolutely. I think this should be printed in the program.

If they score 35, we lose. Simple as that.

I would agree. I think Jauron will want to speed the game up and run, run, run some more. However, on the defensive side, we have to stop LT and I'm still not sure we can do that. Two things: (1) Tackling. Go back to basics and emphasize proper tackling, because we've been pretty horrid in that department. (2) Stay in your lanes. The defense has to remember their assignments and stay in their lanes. If they over peysue, LT will cut back and burn them big time. I'll had as a 2b, the ends should worry less with getting up field to the QB and worry more about just clogging up running lanes. Do that and we have a good shot at containing LT. However, I still think LT will score - that's all he does. So, to that end, I think we'll have to abandon the run as the game goes on. If our Oline can push them off the ball and allow us to run for first downs, it'll go a long way to us winning th game. I'm not really convinced we can do either of these, seeing as how we haven't all season. So, I don't expect a win. However, I do hope we somehow manage to pull something out. And maybe, just maybe, the Chargers are thinking they can take it easy for a week before a few key divisional games.

I can see both sides of it here. Certainly, when I got to games or concerts I want to stand and cheer, sing, dance my butt off and enjoy the event. However, you have to respect the people around you. If everyone else is sitting, then I sit (of course jumping up at appropriate times). You do this for the same reason you turn your phone off in the movies, or don't put your feet on the seat in front of you in a restaurant, or don't shout across the store at a friend; it's out of respect for the people around you. If you want to do anything you want and go nuts regardless, that's when I say stay at home. When you go out to a public event, you have to act responsibly and respectfully.

Exactly, its an honest mistake. No biggie. We all make them. The difference is some of us can say, well maybe I was wrong. OTOH, some are so determined to be right that they'll never admit to being wrong regardless of the facts to the opposite. (And, incidentally, I didn't turn to the DVR with the idea to prove any points. I was just really curious and thought it'd be great to verify for BillsBacker. Plus I'm fairly new with the DVR and whole taping of the games thing; so I use most any excuse possible to rewatch the game.)

JP wasn't the first to walk away. He was on the bottom I believe it was Fowler and him the last 2 Bills to get up. It looked like Thomas was the first one to walk off the field.

OK. Just to be sure... I reviewed the next to last play in the Jags game. The play were Losman just centered the ball for the field goal. Guys seen on the field and after the play walking away from the pile: 7 - Losman 79 - Pennington 71 - Peters 84 - Royal 28 - Thomas 83 - Evans 67 - Fowler 75 - Preston 69 - Gandy 31 - Shelton 86 - Ceislak (They're listed in order that I saw them on the review.) Royal got up and was teh first to call timeout. Evans never moved once he got to the line of scrimmage. On a side note: One of the things I like about JP is that he throws that 30 yd pass to Roscoe as easy as any pass. It's a bullet. When was the last time we had a QB that could throw a 30yd pass as quick and easy as that.
