That was suspiciously officiated to say the least…if I didn’t know better I’d say the refs were workin hard to keep that game close 

Agree, its almost like they wanted the Bills to lose/lose spread, which is probably what Vegas wanted but I'm sure the league wants the Bills in.

Sheez… survived a perfect storm

 

Chargers fired up with new HC at home, showing they aren’t that team from last week

Bills have a let down game after the huge emotional home victory over Dallas, traveling across the country. 
 

this had the makings for a Star Wars fish guy TRAP game. Good win

Had no real bad feeling going in.  Kinda surprised it was so close.

 

A win is a win.  On to next week at home baby!

Second I saw the chargers oline gettin away with preposterous holds I knew we were in for it haha 

[Gunsgoodtime]

Wow # 6 in the playoff slot.  That changed fast.  75% chance to make the playoffs now

This is now two really tough road games they had to win.  They needed a drive to score and a stop on Defense...

 

first in KC and now in LA...they pulled it off and are learning how to handle this scenario better than ever.

 

overcoming mistakes and penalties and not giving an inch on defense.

 

I have so much respect for this defense tonight, that stop after the interception then the stop after the fumble....great stuff.

 

 

 

Alot of mistakes are our fault clean it up

We are currently the 6 seed gents! 🤗

OK, so here’s a problem with the bills or Josh Allen specifically. He’s an incredibly gifted quarterback. Well, he’s an incredibly gifted athlete.  But the offensive coordinators are not making the game easy for him. They need to simplify the game just like they simplify the game for the chargers, Austin stick or whatever the ***** his name is.  I haven’t seen this season or the last two seasons. Any quick reads any easy successes that Josh can make everything is read read read move through your progressions do this do that and that’s fine and that happens but gives the guy a break scheme Shakira Shakira is a door offense and we’re not using them and it’s driving me out of my mind.

That was a hard game on the road short week.  Chargers played great and are a good team. The narrative is BS.  Team was resilient. Greg win 

Turnovers made this closer than it should have been.

[davefan66]

Very close Shakir was down.  
 

Worked out for the best though!

Well, it's a win but our boys almost screwed the pooch.

 

How on earth was the game that close?

Classic McDermott.  He doesn't have his team mentally prepared. His coaches can't adjust. 

And to be fair to McD, Allen was below average, the punt return guy fumbled, and Cook fumbled. Offense and defense did just enough to overcome 3 turnovers on the road.

The Bills are literally the only thing in my life that makes me this nervous. Flying, heights,  driving in a snow storm or even teaching my kid to drive (LOL) no problem!! Nothing makes feel like puking like they do when they play like that.

I dread the next 2.  

Actually, this was the game that most worried me. 
 

I think Bills win out now.

I can't just deny this, it felt a lot like they were like well we got to showcase our no commercial 4th quarter feature better keep it interesting. Alson what the ***** was with the blown dead muffed kickoff return?

 

You know what was really sad about that Mitch Morse holding call, it erased a great Gabe Davis play and he needs all of those he can get.

[RyanC883]

haven’t been that nervous watching Bills kick a FG in a loooong time

[PatsFanNH]

Well I was right was a let down game but the Bills still won.. closer than I expected though.. and the Bills were a little loose with the ball as well.

Yeah, the narrative should be a Chargers team full of heart barely beaten by a resilient Bills team. Instead, it will be more about Allen's turnovers. Who cares, though?
