    Klein isn't really replacing Milano.  They shuffled the responsibility deck and handed out the cards differently

     

    Exactly...the way they are using Klein the past few games has definitely allowed him to be a big contributor to the D instead of a liability.

     

    Kudos to the defensive coaching staff for adjusting to their players.

     

    Let's not forget lack of a true offseason this year hasn't helped with integrating new players into systems and it has had to be done on the fly...

     

    Diggs made a seamless transition on offense but Klein struggled on D until they carved out a different role for him attacking near the LOS mainly.

    First year he had to deal with the move to LA.  Then they were playing in a soccer stadium with more opponents fans than their own.  Rivers was a train wreck last year.  I'm not trying to say Lynn is even a good coach but he has had some obstacles to deal with. Gase has been terrible everywhere he has gone and he had some weapons to work with in NY last year.  

     

    Rivers is looking pretty decent this year again...so who was at fault?  

     

    Good teams use things going against them to galvanize them in an "us against the world" mentality. Bad teams fold. 

     

    Lynn has had far more talent than Gase but only 1 more win to show for it. That is really terrible coaching. And after today's clock management fiasco I see why they are always losing close games.

  3. Seems the past 2 weeks the refs are trying to make up for the lack of holding calls in the first half of the year by throwing flags on what seems like every other offensive play on some drives.

     

    I don't ever remember seeing as many 1st and 30 or 2nd and 35 situations as I have seen the past 2 weeks. Some of them are justified and some aren't. Honestly to me it looks like the players have all adjusted to what wasn't being called the first half of the year and now when they are doing the same thing it is a penalty. There just needs to be consistency...it seems the NFL has issued a mandate to call more holds on offense because there are a lot more the past few weeks.

    I think Lynn showed that today, extremely talented chargers team with a bad record. 

     

    Anthony Lynn is 8-19 since last season. Adam Gase is 7-20. Let that sink in for a moment. There is no reason in the world the Chargers should only be 1 win better than the Jets since last season. The talent difference between the two teams is immense.

  5. They made Herbert look bad for most of the game. A few good plays but his feet were all over the place. The most underwhelming 300 yard passing day I have ever seen.

    The D is free to make more stops.  They fall apart after halftime.  Why can't this D do the same to opponent's Offenses in the 2nd half?  This happened in last year's playoff game.

     

    Again, the Bills scored 31 PPG in those games I referenced.  They gave up 29 PPG.

     

    What kind of team makes a habit out of turning comfortable second half leads into come from behind thrillers?

     

    If you argument is that a team that puts up 31 a game in a stretch of close games has a problem with the Offense......you have some heavy lifting ahead of you.

     

    Pretty much every team in the NFL?

     

    No lead is safe. The Packers turned a big halftime lead into a loss last week in Indy. KC survived a comeback attempt by TB after being up 17-0 amd 27-10. 

     

    It's just how the league is. Too many rules favoring the offense and too many penalties on defense now. Thinking otherwise is simply just not watching enough other games.

  6. His ankle bent but if you watch at the very end his knee got pinned underneath him and he was kind of pushed in the other direction by the guy coming in late...

     

    Very lucky because I thought it could have been a bad ankle and/or knee sprain or possible tear.

    It’s hard to understand I get it. We played a pretty ugly game offensively. If we were playing a high quality team, say in the playoffs, there’s a good chance we don’t win that game with all the mistakes that were made today 

     

    OK. What is your point?

     

    The game we play today has 0 bearing on the game we play against a good team in the playoffs.

     

    Or do you think that every other good team in the league brings their 'A' game each week and somehow the Bills are the only team that doesn't?

     

    If so you obviously watch very little football outside of the Bills games because week in and week out most teams are up and down in the way they play.

     

    Which brings me to the point that it is tiring hearing about how the Bills seemingly are some crazy team that is always up and down where other teams aren't. It isn't the case. Football is a matchup sport. Some weeks even if you are playing a very good team record wise you match up better than other teams would. Sometimes you play a bad team and don't match up as well. Injuries are a big factor also.

     

    So my advice is that if you think the Bills are alone in this watch more football and you will see this is the norm.

    It’s easy to say “who cares, we won” but we lose these games against quality opponents 

     

    Except the Bills have more wins against teams with winning records than anyone else in the NFL.

    Come again?

    Such a bull crap argument with no merit. How many quality teams do the Bills have to beat in order to make you happy?

     

    Apparently beating more teams with winning records than any other team in the NFL doesn't make him happy.

    Why wasn't this game postponed like several others??

    Hell, have a second game on Tues. or put it off for a week, both have been done for other teams this year.

    It makes no sense unless some agenda is in play.

     

    Because there wasn't an outbreak of positive COVID tests on the team, this was due to contact tracing and lack of following guidelines.

     

    IE, playing the game wouldn't have potentially exposed players to COVID whereas the other games it could have.

     

    Games are only moved due to medical decisions NOT teams and players being idiots.

    Winters is totally useless, and Knox is the worst blocker amongst tight ends I have ever seen. Even Kroft blocks half of the time. At least Lee Smith didn't have any penalties. I think that is a first.

     

    And he had another catch getting Schopp closer to winning his bet

    I can think of many more positives than that. But I don't think people want to hear those. They want to hear things like "We're clearly the worst team ever" and "Our coaches are so horrible" and "there's no way we could beat team X in the playoffs".

     

    This place makes it feel like we have a losing team, not a team poised to win the division and host a home playoff game for the first time in decades.

     

    We just can't have nice things.

     

    Not me...I think they are a good team that just has mental lapses during the game at some point. Honestly it might stem from them being in the lead so much that they feel like they are coasting and then let teams back in before slamming the door usually.

     

    Whatever they did in the bye week for the run game worked well and the defense continued to play aggressive which has really been night and day since the Chief game.

     

    I do have some concerns with the offense having so many struggles in the passing game without Brown but it's hard to argue when they are still putting up 27 points and would have likely been 30+ without the fumble near the redzone.

    Dude, if you think the fourth quarter performance will work week in and week out knock yourself out.

     

    Every game is different. Why do people assume 1 game's 4th quarter performance will be every games 4th quarter performance?

     

    If anything this is the aberration, the Bills lead the NFL in average 4th quarter points and play lights put usually.

     

    THAT should be what you think the normal performance is not a single game versus the other 10.

    Knew it was going to be a tough game going in.  The Chargers have some serious players.  I honestly wasnt sure the Bills would come out with a win, so regardless of how they played I was glad they came away with the w.

     

    Thought Lynn looked lost at times today which made me happy.  Also thought the Chargers came across as a cocky chippy team a lot like the Titans so was very happy the Bills sent them away with a loss.  On to San Fran.

     

    Bills D held Allen in check, made Herbert look bad and flustered for much of the game and stuffed the run pretty well.

     

    They made a few plays here and there but I was never seriously worried and the Chargers never held a lead at any point in the game.
