So I’m getting flack for saying the win was undeserved because we fell apart in the second half.  We were outscored 29-7.  You really think we deserved it?

Valid point

If you're asking if the defense played poorly in the 2nd half, thats an easy answer.  McVay and the Rams offense gives a lot of teams trouble though. Perhaps you could say Bills got the better of them 1st half?  Overall, what i expected hard to stop that team.

 

But overall a 4th quarter game winning drive deserves credit where credit is due...not an easy task

Understood.  I am just frustrated that Josh had to do another magic act.  This game should have been over at the end of the third quarter.

Well, at least we finally have a QB on our team who is capable of pulling one off.  You are right, however, about the near collapse that started in the second half.  Ugly!

Eh

Screw them. It wasn’t nearly as controversial as the interception.

Loved what Pereira said. 
That game today from an officiating standpoint was exactly like us vs the Pats. We get calls all game and then the Pats get one at the most critical juncture to break our backs.

Great drive again by Josh.  Great win (undeserved, but great).   But two questions remain:

 

1.  When are the Bills going to play a decent third quarter?

2.  When are we going to come up with a better answer for teams running up the middle?

Why was it undeserved?

Yes, undeserved.  We fell apart in the second half.  Thank God for Josh and the PI.

Good thing we played two halves then, because the 21 points we scored in that half sure came in handy. I’m pretty sure we deserved those 21 points, too.

I completely disagree. Josh was the sole reason we won today. His fire makes this team better, even when it sometimes results in a penalty or fumble.

He was a big reason. But there is a ton of talent on this team. On both sides of the ball. Guys were open for much of the game. He's a very big piece of the puzzle, but our defense was incredible for about 35 or so minutes of the game against a really good offensive unit. Diggs was good enough to open things up for Beasley and Krofft. Our RB's and line was pretty good as well.

Those passes to Beasley over the middle only a handful of QBs in the league make. He made a boatload of ridiculous throws, like last week.

He's far better then I ever imagined he'd be. Going to be an interesting year. Hope Addison and Dawkins are ok

The best part is, THATS what they call a controversial call. Not the interception that wasn’t even close to an interception. 

It definitely was PI the defender pushing him until he saw the ball coming and then was all like Twasn't me my hands are up here.

I had the remote in hand ready to change the channel if we didn’t convert that last 4th. If that flag would have come a second later I would have missed the ending.

What? The cowboys had the #1 offense in the league when we played them and the Steeler were one of the top defenses if not the best. Not exceptional at any particular phase? Kind of a reach 

I’m not discounting those wins. I’m just saying that wins like today are a continued step in the right direction. The Cowboys and Steelers were both 8-8 teams in 2019, while the Rams were 9-7 and just removed from a Super Bowl appearance. I don’t see anything wrong with saying this win could be of greater quality than those.
 

The Steelers and Cowboy wins were huge, and I was on this board saying that at the time. Those wins never happen during the drought years. Fortunately, the drought years are no longer the measuring stick, real success is. The Rams played like the elite offense they’ve shown to be in the past, and we still won. This season I believe that we can compete with anyone. I didn’t sincerely feel that way after those big wins last season. The fact that this win makes me feel like we’ve arrived more than a win over Duck Hodges, isn’t a slight against how big that win was at the time. It’s just an indication that I’m seeing this team continue to grow.

Before we get to depressed about the defense this reminds me of the Philly game last year. After we were gashed on the ground by the Eagles I didn't think they could fix it and EVERY team would run the ball down our throats.  Instead our run D got better for the rest of the season. I suspect that what we saw today was more a schematic problem then a talent issue.  They will fix it.

 

Also this is where not having fans in the stands hurt us.  Do you think down 28 - 3 the Rams make this a game if the house is packed? I don't.

 

One final thought. Allen has arrived.

Why can't the Bills make both defense and offense great? Last year the offense stunk but defense was great.

This year, through 3 games, the offense is lighting in up but the defense is pure dog turd. What gives??

Complimentary football is a thing and the Rams have a great offense.

 

On the other hand, you can say the Bills wouldn't have been up 28-3 in the 3rd without a good defense.

There is seriously no point to instant replay if it can’t get a basic call like that correct.  None.

 

I haven't heard this question discussed anywhere (TV, post game radio, nor on here).  If they call it an interception on the field, don't they need conclusive evidence to overturn it?  Therefore the problem was them calling it an interception on the field, and there not being anything conclusive to overturn it.   From every angle they showed it was a fifty fifty which is the opposite of conclusive...

Good - the continued lack of respect will continue to drive them

50/50 actually is conclusive per the NFL rulebook. In the event of a simultaneous catch the tie goes to the offense. 

 

  1. If a pass is caught simultaneously by two eligible opponents, and both players retain it, the ball belongs to the passers. It is not a simultaneous catch if a player gains control first and an opponent subsequently gains joint control. If the ball is muffed after simultaneous touching by two such players, all the players of the passing team become eligible to catch the loose ball.
