Some ***** penalties too, I mean seriously that holding on Morse on 2nd and 25 to negate that amazing Gabe Davis 1st down, they killed that drive and it could have kept them out of the game.

 

Think there might have been one on an early drive too. Obviously they could have executed better too but I mean damn we haven't been doing the intermediate passing game as much so going 20 yards on a set of downs is ***** hard.

This times 100.  That Morse call was horrific. I’ve had about enough of the officiating altering games this year.

Teams -3 in turnovers win 4% of time.  It's a Festivus miracle we won!!

Just saying that to my wife!

Gosh, my average heart rate during this game.

 

Way higher than I could've ever anticipated.

It’s like you are watching the NFL for the first time. You have never seen a maligned home team play inspired football for an interim head coach?
 

Maybe relax and enjoy it. Other than the officiating, the NFL is an entertaining product. 

 

dude.  You realize we played a team with a backup QB, 3rd string center and missing its top two WRs.  I don’t care how “inspired” they were that is a huge talent mismatch.  Championship teams crush those teams.

I really wish I had your sunny disposition

watch a lot of football and you will understand what I am saying.  The league is about winning close games and doing it in a fashion that is repeatable...not a miracle play, but methodical play and playing with poise at the critical moments.

 

SF lost to Cle with a backup qb, miami lost at home to will levis, dallas lost to josh dobbs, eagles lost to the jets....etc.etc.etc..

 

this is a week to week league.  The trick is winning close games and being able to play with poise when you are under the most pressure.

[Phils n Bills]

Glad we were able to grind that out. Coaches did their thing in this one despite what many want to complain about. Player execution was the issue this time around. A lot to clean up. But grinding out a trap game and coming away with the win is nice for a change 

[Putin]

Disgusting win

This was the definition of a trap game.

Chargers with a mini-bye, road game on the west coast after a huge win, interim coach/players playing for their jobs, and immense pressure to win. I don’t care what the negative people on this board say, I am satisfied w/ this win today. How many of these games didn’t go the Bills way this year? 

It's hard as hell to win games.  There were a lot of tough circumstances going in to this one.  Also fell on the wrong end of some officiating "luck".  3 Really bad turnovers though, no excuse for that.  The mini meltdown on the punt at the 5 was annoying too

[colin]

Eff all the haters.

 

Bills ***** themselves in the door with a giant blunderbuss but still won.

 

As was said above, negative 3 in turnovers a long w those penalties is an impossible task and we did it.

 

Merry Christmas Eve Eve to all!!

Name his replacement.

"And what happened, then? Well, in Whoville they say - that my blood pressure grew three sizes that day. And then - the true meaning of Christmas came through, and the Bills found the strength of *ten* Grinches, plus two!"

I’ve got the opposite takeaway…I think they simplified too much due to the short week and the chargers came to play.  Josh made a couple massively huge plays and missed some easy ones…such is the nfl 

 

that drive the refs basically stole from our offense didn’t help either 

Fair take. But on the critical 3rd down near the endszone everyone ran long a short outlet would have Been helpful

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.

They didn't simplify anything for stick. The dude had all day to pass for 90% of the game.

they quit playing last week in the first quarter.  They literally didn't care.

 

this week was totally different.  These interim coaches who have athletic qb's create all kinds of problems.

Do you get a boost in the standings by crushing an opponent vs just beating them?
