12/8/24 Game 14 GAMEDAY! Bills vs Rams post game Thread

[Johnnycage46]

I don't think it will happen but if we can beat Detroit we are still right where i thought we would be after 14 games right before kickoff today. Now, probably have little chance, but still

In the plus. The AFCE champs did play a stellar game against a team with a “must win”

Well we just witnessed NFL history.

 

First game where both teams had 40+ points and 0 TOs in NFL history.

 

Even when they lose Bills make some sort of NFL history.

 

 

 

And it was a glaring example of everything wrong with this era of football.   7 on 7 with terrible officiating.

Well..., let's go Chargers then!!!

What do you mean? Are they playing now?

Chiefs will lose tonight and it will be like nothing happened but Josh gave me some big fantasy numbers.

[oldmanfan]

Time for rational thought:

 

1.  They were going to go for it on 4 th regardless, so taking the penalty or not meant nothing.  Going with the 4 man rush and zone that hadn’t worked all day is a legitimate gripe.

 

2.  Despite Tommy yelling about the TO, what would the odds have been of holding a team we hadn’t stopped the entire freaking day from getting a first down?  Especially if McVay didn’t just have to run the clock down?  More or less than3%?  And yes they should have jumped right up and ran another quick play or spiked it after the failed sneak.

 

3.  The calls for McD to be canned are stupid childish reactions.  They are 10-3 with a supposed rebuilding team.  
 

4.  They lost because we were  dominated by their O line, and because our zone did not match up against them.

The Rams haven't put up more than 30 on anyone all season. Then the Bills arrived.

Our defense has been bad all year, everyone on the Dline is jags. 

[st pete gogolak]

Rapp and Hamlin 26 total tackles. The ENTIRE defensive line 18.  Fellas, I think that’s the story right there.

[KOKBILLS]

Josh taking the blame for the other two phases has to be an all time great QB Presser after a loss...

 

That could not have been easy...

[AlCowlingsTaxiService]

Special teams gaffe really cost them, as well as an inability to cover Nacua.  Most troubling however is another questionable decision by McDermott when the lights were brightest.

Barkley had another strong game and continues to make a run at MVP. Most rushing yards in a season by an Eagle and still 4 games left. Has a chance to pass Dickerson for most all time in a season.

Josh first player with 3 rush and 3 pass TD's he helped his MVP case today

Bail out ***** coaches? 
 

Mahomes doesn’t bail out Reid 

 

Montana didnt bail out Walsh 

 

elway didn’t bail out Shanahan

Mahomes bailed out Reid in Carolina just a few ago. The Chiefs all but lost that game and Mahomes made that sideline run to give KC a chance. The great Andy Reid also gets bailed out by blocked kicks and stupid opposing coaches. And that just in the last four weeks.

Have we changed our mind about Mcdermott again? Three losses this year and two are the direct result of poor coaching decisions at the end of the game.  Such an annoying way to lose a good game.

 

I haven't changed my mind about him since 13 seconds. He are good because of Allen not because of McDermott. He will continue to fall short in big games in the playoffs

The D-line is getting used.

I agree the defense was putrid but if the offense holds the ball more in 1st half maybe the defense doesn't give up 37, let's not forget 7 goes against the ST.

Ahhhh yes, if the O held the ball longer. D shouldn’t need the O to hold the ball to do their job. They were bad from start to finish and this loss is on nothing but them

I agree with all of this. Thank you.

Tied with Steelers

Per NFL.com Buffalo is still the 2 seed. 

[Steptide]

Amazingly, up until that timeout call, I was thinking to myself how the bills were finally managing the end of the game properly, all to have it go straight down the toilet in seconds. Just blows my mind. Ya you can sight lots of reasons for the loss today, but with a min left and your only chance is to have all 3 of your timeouts.... And then you call a timeout... Just no words 

[JMM]

Wow...just wow. Yes ST was bad, yes game management was poor yet again. BUT...he literally WAS SUPERMAN today, and despite that they still lost because the D was an absolute disgrace. Looking forward I used to think if Josh can be Superman for 4 games we can win it all. Now I can't think that. And that's very very worrisome.
