Bills @ Chargers post game thread

The O line penalties were brutal.  On that one drive after the Chargers had cut the lead to 21 - 16 the line had 2 bad penalties in a row that cancelled Allen throws for 1st downs.  Had we gone down and scored a TD that drive it would have likely been game over.

 

 

The Morse penalty did not look like a hold. But the one against Spencer Brown as inexcusable. He gets beat, again, and he leg-whips the guy. He's both mediocre and dirty. I don't need to hear how much he's improved either. Just watch how often Allen dodges the man Brown fails to block.

 

But the heck with Brown. I'm smiling thinking of Allen, Shakir, and Oliver.

Yes, but all the talk of "no one wants to face the Bills in the playoffs" is out the window now, right? Since, you know, they looked like garbage, and won by the skin of their teeth against an inferior opponent. 

 

The sad reality is that they came within inches of being "the same old Bills." The "they're hot and steamrolling into the playoffs" is just a pipe dream now. Likely one and done.

 

Bring on the blinders wearing homer thumbs downs and red Xs. LOL

I call it finding a way to win. For the 5th time this year, Josh goes right down the field so the team can get a lead in the last 2 minutes. We had three turnovers to their none, and gave up 13 points off of those turnovers.

 

The defense did their job after Josh took us down the field and Bass knocked one through. Ed Oliver had one of those "closer" moments getting a huge sack. I was just talking about this in another thread a couple of days ago, how I feel Ed and Floyd are our "closers" this year.

 

You can sit over there and be all mad eating your fruitcake. I'll be happy we're still in the hunt and control our own destiny. I don't care if we win ugly the rest of the year. Just win baby.

Allen was sub-par. I hope it's because he spent too much time this week looking at Dolphin's film

104 QB rating and 3 TD's and leading the game winning FG drive is "subpar"?  Really?

I care what happens, but nothing that does will change my mind on McD.  He’s just not an NFL caliber HC.

Absolute malarkey.

Really? I didn't see much. What just disappointment that they can't clinch this week and still have to play? 

Mostly how much they hate us,  we have the refs in our pocket.  Luckiest most untalented team in the league

My son said before Bass kicked the FG he had a thought of Bass missing it then had a vision of going outside and throwing up

I think if Josh doesn’t hit that fall back pass to Shakir, we miss the FG from back there. That play was season saving.

Most important game of the season and the Bills beat a team that just fired their HC/GM, and missing their starting QB, #1/#2WR, C, and starting DE by 2 points.  This is the same ***** we pulled against the Dolphins in the playoffs last year.  McD rarely has this team ready to play.  They are the dumbest, most undisciplined team in the league.  I don’t care what happens the remainder of this season, I will never be sold on McDingus as the HC.

This is a route I’m quick to go down, but with 2-3 games left and “do or die” I’m happy to take the W.

 

More than “Screw Pegula, Fire McDermott, and Beane is a bumb” rants, I think this game should have highlighted Kincaid, Knox, Shakir. But the team/Allen came out trying to win the game on the outside. That alone almost cost us this game. 
 

Luckily Davis made a few key plays for us.

Thank you 91👍

I was annoyed when the announcers mentioned that we only had 2 DL on the last play & we were using our best in Floyd & Miller.  Really?  I'd take Rousseau &/or Oliver over Miller any day of the week.

Bills had to beat the Chargers, refs, and the announcers tonight 

Yeah the Peacock stream wasn't bad and everything would be great as long as it's not ***** Collinsworth if they could fire him into the sun that'd be great. I can't count the number of times I just muted it at points so I could just not hear him.

I need a pill

my bitterness if the Bills would have lost this game could not have been cured. But as it is amigo allow me to flip you a xanax  🙂 Cheers

Goes without saying - but that game is a blowout without turnovers & penalties.

 

We can win a SB if we tighten it up, or lose in the WC round if we don't.

 

[foreboding]

I'll tale this gritty win vs losing pretty to the Eagles.

Makes up for the Jets fiasco!!!

[Steptide]

I hate these kinda games more than anything. EVERYTHING is on the line and that was too close for comfort. Still don't know why the offense never runs the no huddle

Why are you just guaranteed a td though? Lol yea obviously if you were just given a td we’d choose that 😂. What if you throw a couple incomplete passes and settle for a fg anyway and the chargers preserve their timeouts?

 

Then your whole ‘he’s led 5 fg drives’ point comes in…he led 0 fg drives when only having 30 seconds and no timeouts 

They also started to run clock well before even before they got into FG range

 

They need to be aggressive, this team this coaching staff has shown time and time again they give up game winning drives

 

I hate the "you scored too quick" think. Why is it always "too quick" maybe it's not quick enough. Isn't the name of the game to put up more points than the opposing team?

Our boys not look like the have or were they ugly self inflicted wounds to keep them within reach?

 

Looking at the box score Chargers clearly won the turnover battle. 

mostly self inflicted ...some bad tackling and turn overs.   chargers were trying to rip every ball out and succeeded a couple times.   play calling was marginal.   o line fell back to earth like a brick.

The worst think about the Brown penalty was that he didn't need to do it.  Allen got the pass off to Cook quickly on that play.

We lived to see another day, that's the most important thing here. It was over if we lost this game. 

 

This is a pretty flawed team and I still think coaching is still a big issue. But right now just getting into the dance is everything. Had to have it. 

Just have to stop the turnovers and we beat anyone
