I thought it was Rousseau and Miller…but yeah Oliver needs to be in there with Floyd or Gregory

Just saw the highlights & you are correct - Groot & Miller.

I will say there was one thing that had me scratching my head tonight…..

 

After last week and almost having 2 punts blocked, the Bills had Damar Hamlin in punt protection tonight.

 

I mean, it worked but I have to admit I said WTF when I noticed.

Expand  

I breathe easier when I see Hamlin on the inactive list.

He's been backup at that all year, and Rapp did a bad job at that last week They gave Demar a shot. Makes sense.

Expand  

He has hardly been dressed all year.

 

Again, it just seems to me someone more stout would be back there.

W

 

They almost ruined Christmas, but it’s a W that counts as much as the Cowboys game.

 

Cut Harty and fire Smiley into the sun. 

 

Still think something is up with Diggs, prob hurt. He’s not getting separation and taking himself out every time he gets tapped.

 

Non Miller is useless. Didn’t see much Floyd. Ed was a beast.

 

Playoff Gabe showed up. Allen wasn’t perfect but the guy just makes plays when he needs to. He had 4 unbelievable plays that we just are lilke “no big deal”

 

Liked the McD game management from 4 minutes on. Sure, should have love the touchdown but once Shakir was ruled down had to run clock.

 

Why did Chargers take that last timeout???

0-6 in games decided by 3 or less. Absolutely brutal for that fan base and locker room. 

Expand  

 

I know it's popular for people to say that coaches and teams must learn how to win close games.

But luck is part of the game too...  ref calls, bouncing balls, weather, injuries...    A three-point difference means the two teams played pretty darn equally.  To be 0-6 in those games seems like some bad juju is at work.  If they were merely 3-3 in those games, their season would be so much better.

What the F....?

Expand  

 

The Chargers social media team likes anime social media videos. 

 

https://www.chargers.com/video/chargers-anime-schedule-release-2023-edition

 

They troll each of their opponents (usually in a fairly classy way) based on the previous season.  So for the Titans, they show Derrick Henry being rebuilt as part cyborg, they show Dallas throwing Dak Prescott under the bus etc.

 

The Bills (1:37 or so in there) shows Von Miller, Josh, and Poyer (I think) standing in front of a burning console with the Bills 4 Superbowl appearances on it and "Burn It All" (what Von said before the season), then Diggs standing off at a distance watching.

 

So the Bills social media team was trolling them back

LOL...the Dolphins forum edits out "Peacock":

 

"Almost. I didnt see the game as no pea****. But looks like Bills played like crap."

 

This is one reason why this forum is the best.

Makes up for the Jets fiasco!!!

Expand  

They had less yards though and less than 300 yards of offense…only made it to the red zone twice and got held to a fg on the two yard line.  There are a lot of stats going against the chargers in this one too

On any NFL weekend, half the coaches lose.  I'm ecstatic our coach was in the upper 50%.  

 

A good coach wins big sometimes, wins nailbiters other times, and even loses sometimes.  The Bills could have played better but I'm thrilled to be on the winning side of things.  

 

Calling the head coach names ("McDingus") is silly.  The world is effed up enough.  We don't have to add to it by being disrespectful to each other.  But let me ask, since you said that you don't care what happens the rest of the season.  Are you saying that if McDermott's Bills win the Super Bowl, you still won't be sold on him?  

Expand  

 

Yup, and such an outrageously bad take by TheWeatherMan!

 

This team "undisciplined and dumb"?!!  And their coach "rarely" prepares them for games!

 

I wonder what TWW has been watching over McDermott's tenure--definitely not our Bills team!

 

To me, you cannot be a Bills fan if that is what you saw tonight--and over the last years.

 

And I agree, and when did it become okay, even commonplace, for grown men to call other men names like that and like some others do on here?  (Oh, wait, we all know when that happened.)

 

The Bills took another important, learning step in the journey tonight.

Expand  

They took the timeout because the clock would have started because Shakir was ruled down and the Bills wouldn’t have ran a play. It would have went down to the 2 minute warning.

Von Mille is stealing money at this point and barely looks like he cares out there.  Make him inactive for godssake

[hondo in seattle]

Not sure about Brady today.

 

The Bills with Josh Allen under center threw for fewer yards than the Chargers typically give up. 

 

We should have been able to exploit their weak pass defense.

This didn’t get enough attention. I felt like I needed an explanation here. 
 

I understand he called fair catch, but he muffed the football and then took a knee in the end zone. 

Expand  

It was bugging me, from everything I know about football that was a safety so I had to look up the rules. It seemed like an easy call for an official to make, I don’t get it 🤷🏼‍♂️

My sister in law just said Gabe only shows up during her menstrual cycle.  Too much wine.
