It's time tested in the NFL over 75+ years or whatever....you kick the FG and stack points early in close games. Yes, everyone wants to score a TD but the move was to take a 3-0 lead and then later on take a 13-7 lead or whatever it would have been with 2 easy kicks.

Then that's the case for every team that has two or more people infected. Either reschedule them all or reschedule none.

Yep. As long as Mahomes, Kelce and Hill are active i can see the Chiefs in there again. unfortunately.

Keep not kicking your field goals, San Diego!!

That drive was the exact opposite of what Buffalo’s offense did in their OT possession last weekend.

Kelce is effing ridiculous. what a last 17 mins for him.

I just assume KC wins and gets to 10 and keep the Chargers at 8 wins. Then Buffalo can get to 8 this Sunday. I’ll give KC the AFC West, that’s fine.

Yeah agree. the thing is, it’s real dicey to reschedule one game because it’s not competitively balanced “enough” and not reschedule all the other games. So let’s reschedule the Browns because their game matters more to their playoff chances than Washington or the LA Rams games matter to them?! Nope, can’t do that. its like when a team suffers a bunch of injuries. it’s sucks, but the game doesn’t get rescheduled so guys can get healthy.

The answer is, whichever team loses would’ve been the team we wanted to win for Bills sake. Because we aren’t getting any help in these final few weeks you just know it.

Mahomes extended the play beautifully there

Lol. that was a perfect play call. Mahomes, pffft

Possessions are gold and the Chargers just aren’t valuing them enough. In a close game, even if you have 3 drives in a row that end in FGs, Take it!!! don’t be stupid. 4th down conversions are harder.

So ridiculous. I guess the Chargers FG kicker gets a free paycheck today

I hope the Chargers lose by a FG, i really do. i think the decisions were dumb and unnecessary in the first half of a close game. I want them to feel the pain of those dumb decisions. i hate the analytics BS. and coaches trying to show what brass balls they have

It makes no sense to me. i said it on the first one too. Always take the easy 3, unless it’s late and you Have to go for it. These 4th and goals are really hard, i don’t care what the analytics say. and the chippy FG is probably 95+%

Herbert has had some dud games this year, as has Allen. For whatever reason Herbert gets a pass. I will say this, Herbert is smart when he runs. He doesn’t invite or absorb as much contact as Allen does. He slides often or goes out of bounds. And because of that he will probably stay healthier in his career.

Yes and if he didn’t i’d be pissed. way too early to be pissing away an easy 3.

I don’t get not kicking the FG. I’m way too conservative. Possessions are limited, stack points. I don’t care what analytics say, 4th and goal from the 4 is not easy to cash in. Dumb Chargers. I don’t go for that unless i have to. And they pay another price with the tight end knocking himself out. very scary.

His tenure was even worse than i thought it would be. And an extra embarrassment that Buffalo lost to that team. It’s actually unreal.

I hate these gimmicky uniforms and the fans get all fired up as if it will make a difference. Just wear the classic blue jersey white pants at home. For me, that’s the uniform.

I haven't read through this entire thread but does anyone else think it's remarkable how many razor thin first down spots have either gone against us or gone for our opponents?!? It's another factor in the 7-6 record. Allen quite possibly had the 1st down deep in the Tennessee red zone late.. Allen came within an eyelash of getting the first down just before the Diggs non-hold. I think his foot grazed the white boundary. Then Fournette gets a first down by a hair, if the refs had marked him just short they would not have overturned it either and it would've been 4th down. There are some other example but i won't dwell on it. Just beat Carolina.

We about to waste a really solid team...

It's tough to admit but the Bills are a mediocre NFL football team at best. 1-5 against "good" teams, and 0-5 in close one score games. 3-5 in their last 8 games is brutal. I don't think this game vs. Carolina or the Atlanta game are slam dunks by any means. I do think Buffalo will eek one out here and it will leave us with more questions than answers... so my guess is Bills 23-20.

Makes me think the sport we follow so closely with our favorite team is rigged and predetermined. Bums me out. Recently i’ve had two non-Bills fans tell me that McDermott seems like a whiner so maybe the refs are just out to screw him over.

Several nice plays where Stafford rolls one way then throws a nice deep accurate ball the other direction.
