This gets thrown around way too much on this board. "Finding a way to win".
This denotes the team overall played poorly, was outplayed by the other team, was losing for much of the game, but made a key play or got some luck somehow at the end and pulled it out.
That wasn't what happened yesterday. Not even close.
1) The Bills never trailed and led for 57 minutes of the game.
2) Up 24-6, the 18 point deficit was the largest the Chargers have faced all year.
3) The Bills snapped the longest streak in the NFL of 12 consecutive 1 score games the Chargers have played.
Now...if you want to say they didn't play their best, then yes I would agree. But they sure didn't play poorly. They made Herbert look very average to below average much of the game. They took away Allen and Williams from the passing game most of the day. They ran the ball exceptionally well. They stopped the run very well except for 1 long run. Special teams played well.
They had a series of 7 plays that they probably want back that resulted in 3 turnovers. It happens. The Bills are not especially turnover prone usually.
Can they play better? Yeah.
Do the Bills "let other teams back into games" more than most good teams? No not really. Look around the NFL...teams that are up big ens up holding on for dear life at the end of games more often than not.
Is it realistic to think they will play their best every game? No. No team in the NFL does. If you think they do, you simply don't watch much football other than the Bills games apparently.
Does this mean they "found a way to win"? No. They kind of dominated the game and cruised to victory even though they hit a few potholes on the way. The game was never really in doubt at any point.
Some people really need to get some perspective with their over the top dramatics.
I agree with this, I really do, so I have little advice to offer you, other than staying away from jerry Sullivan articles. I've you've already done that, well then, I got nothing.

Is she still hot?
Don't know, haven't seen her since college, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say yes. I always had a crush on her, but so did everyone else.

Jones now has played 20 games and has 21 INTs and 15 lost fumbles, which gives him the most turnovers(36 total) through his first 20 games for a QB since Ryan Leaf had 41...
Think it might be time to realize he isn't the guy they thought he was and maybe is more like the guy every other team thought he was...

He is the New Jersey version of EJ Manuel.

I am ecstatic about the win. The goat coach forced us into a run based offense where we have not run it all year. And we ran great. Moss looked like a different player. The goat coach went with a 7DB defense in a 30 mph wind and rain game. That speaks volumes about what kind of qb we finally have.
This honestly didn't even cross my mind. While my original feelings are still valid, this is something to feel good about. Bellicheat forced the Bills to play a certain way in order to beat them, and they did. Love it.

blah blah blah, all that and... WE WON!
Yeah, we'll lose some games in the 2nd half of the season. Probably go 4-4, end 10-6, and win the AFC East.
And Bills fans will still find a way to complain and feel bad about it. The drought really ruined a lot a of fans.
Most of the time I fit into the category of finding a cloud in a sunny sky with this team, but I don't think so this time with this post. I think it's more a testament to having higher expectations, rather than woe. I expected more, and I can't say that for any of the previous 20 teams that played in year's past. I expected them to lose in gut wrenching fashion years ago, this year, I didn't.

I haven't started a thread in quite some time, mostly in part to the fine job everyone else has been doing posting content from things I would have posted, all the way down to posts I laugh at while spit-taking my coffee, so I've been quite content as an occasional observer. But this win yesterday had me all warm inside, nostalgic if you will, for the days when I could post my thoughts and enjoy the flaming that might occur, or the agreements I might get from spewing out my over-opinion on things. so, here goes, not in any real order....
1. I was ecstatic they finally beat the pay-toilets at home, a win is a win. But!
2. Was I alone thinking that even though their roster appeared deplete of any real talent, any other decent quarterback, or, I dunno....say, a Tom Brady would have beaten the Bills yesterday?
3. The win was invigorating, but left me feeling worried the defense is so much worse than last year, and they are probably going to lose to this sad sack patriots team later this year?
It's been a long time since the Bills have been in 1st place this far in the season, so don't get me wrong, I love not being all but eliminated from the playoffs like most of the last 2 decades, but this victory does leave me wanting more from a team that had both a dominant defense last year, and a really strong offense earlier this year figure out the secret sauce soon.
Your thoughts?

If anyone thinks this upcoming game is a walk in the park because Brady isn't there, or that they're 2-4 are delusional. My gut tells me they (patriots) have a solid 65% chance or better of winning. Until the Bills sweep them. or beat them soundly, I am still not sold.

Tom Brady vs Peyton Manning?
If this current trajectory continues, and it may not, but....could these two new school Qbs be the next rivalry in the NFL saga?
It's only possible if and that's IF what we've seen out of Josh this year is his new norm, AND the Bills contend for championships each year. It looks like Mahommes and the Chiefs are one half of that equation, but the Bills aren't on the same field yet.

I have contended all offseason the patriots are still the team to beat until the Bills can actually beat them. This signing changes nothing. beat them soundly twice this year no matter who the QB is, then, and only then will the bills be the team to beat.
-
after the schedule came out a while back, I posted somewhere this might be an 8 win season. there's no way they do better this year playing the same brand of football they did last year. while I loved the defense in stretches, they seemed unusually porous against the run far too many times, and the offense was pedestrian at best.
NOW, if they play inspired football all year like they did in Dallas, then there's no reason not to think this is a 10-12 win team.
-
hoping this might not end up being a let down year, but with all the prime time games and the back and forth travelling, I struggle to find 8-9 wins.

They’re actually not. I just bet it last week after the draft. The Bills were +130. The Patriots were +145. Unless things have changed since Thursday the Bills are the favorite.
I don't doubt you in the least, but i speak form a strictly qualitative viewpoint.

Alex Smith got passed from Superbowl contending team to another and onto the Redskins b.c he wasn't good enough. Don't let the stats fool you.
There's nothing to be fooled by. He performed in the top tier of the NFL, I don't care whether or not he was good enough for one team over another. I made my point very clearly, what you're insinuating is something else entirely.
Was he was fools gold? Yeah probably, that wasn't my point. The chiefs were a good team, tough to beat when he was there, and stats prove that. also, if you read my original post, which you copied, I clearly stated resembled, and that he made a significant improvement in his game, which the guy did, that's not even disputable, I don't know what you're missing here.

It wasn't rhetorical. Alex Smith has never been top tier.
I wasn't suggesting they'd cut bait after this year, but competition will be added if he doesn't take a clear step in the right direction, and it'll happen before the optional 5th year.
I can agree with you for most of his lackluster career, but for a couple of years, he was one of the most accurate passers ranking in the top ten, and a very desirable QB on the market. I define top tier at around the top 10 performers generally speaking. you may not agree, and that's fine, but Alex did improve to a much better level of play, and I would have been happy if he landed here instead of Washington before we got Josh.
Let’s consider permanently replacing Milano with Klein.
