LABILLBACKER Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 They need to establish an early lead like they did with Seattle. Then pin your ears back and go after the rookie. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHateMe Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Feels like a let down game for some reason... "Bad" Chargers team but if you actually look at them, they have a lot of talent and just throw games away.. Lost to a lot of good teams by 1 score.. Could easily be a .500 team. Coming off a bye I hope we aren't flat... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the better team in this game, and they need to show that they are. The Chargers are not a pushover, as their record may indicate. I want to see the Bills come out with fire, after the way they lost their last game. This is a very important game that the Bills need to win. Not only because that it's a conference game, but to show the league that they can bounce back from a demoralizing loss, like all good teams can do. Getting players back at full health is a plus, with Morse & Feliciano being on the field at the same time for the first time all season. It would be great if both Ford & Milano are back as well. I don't care about the weather being a factor. Good teams don't use that as an excuse for their play. Milano isnt eligible to be back until after the chargers game. IR is for three games, not three weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 The Bills have wrestled with health issues for the last several weeks. I think Milano has to sit out one more week, but if Josh Norman gets released from the COVID list, the Bills may be the healthiest they've been since sometime in October. The Bills can field their best DB group instead of scrabbling together whatever they could. Worley in particular can go back to the PS and stay. The offensive line should also be completely healthy. It will be interesting to see what group is on the field. Presumably it will include Dion Dawkins, Darryl Williams and John Feliciano. I hope that Mitch Morse on the sidelines was a one week only situation. If he can come back and play will at center, and Cody Ford is healthy, That might make for a pretty decent offensive line, and one that can run block better than what we've seen in a long time from the Bills.

blacklabel Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Definitely a game they should win but I'm still haunted by old memories of rookie QBs or backups coming off the bench and shredding them for one of the best games in their entire career. Granted, it's an entirely different Bills team and I hope McDermott and Frazier dial up some different things that Herbert hasn't seen. Bait him into making poor decisions.

zow2 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I always feel concerned coming off the bye week. It *should* be an advantage but that's not always the case. Sometimes they come out lethargic. For this game, however, the Bills are getting some guys back off the Covid list and I'm sure healing up so it should be a positive. I like our offense.. but on the defensive side, McD and Frazier had better not allow Herbert to get comfortable. That's the key. They have a body of work to study and should come up with something...much like Belicheck did against young Josh Allen in their first few meetings.

Scott7975 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Chargers are a tough team on the wrong side of the win loss record. I still feel the Bills will beat them. I thought for Arizona too. That's what I love about this team. No they aren't KC but there are no teams I feel they can't hang with and pull out a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I actually think the weather could play to the Bills advantage. The Chargers have played almost all their games indoors or in really good weather with no wind. Looking at the boxscores the worst weather they've seen is the 60s and light wind in Denver and they lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I seem to recall the Bills came out lethargic last year against Miami. Someone asked Beasley what happened and he said the coaches yelled at them at halftime: "maybe they should yell at us before the game next time" 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QLBillsFan Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 They lost on a Hail Mary, they should be 8-2. I expect a fired up angry and almost healthy group. Chargers are decent so won’t be taken lightly. D is improving, it’s up to O line who are finally healthy. Balance on O would be critical to this tough win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbs Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I know it was mid game and they had to modify their plan, but the game with Tampa was seriously changed when Ekeler went down. His replacement wasn't really a replacement. So,with Ekeler back, I think they are a much better team. Aside from him, I think Herbert and Allen are going to put on a show. Can't count on dumb luck and coaching stupidity to keep the Chargers down forever. Also hoping Allen is better protected than he was against the Cards. I was really looking forward to seeing a healthy line last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I know nothing about the chargers this year. But a well-coached team will come out of the bye healthier and with some killer schemes. (We’ve had two weeks to gameplan for these guys). So I’m hoping we bring it.

Logic Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I could be wrong about this, but it sure seems to me like the McDermott Bills tend to beat the teams they "should" beat more often than not. I don't remember many (any?) instances of them losing to clearly inferior teams with bad records. This being the case, I'm optimistic about the Chargers game (though I certainly don't think they'll be pushovers) and the rest of the season in general. Of our six remaining games, four are against teams with losing records and will see the Bills favored to win. 4-2 should be good enough to win the division, particularly with the Phins having lost yesterday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
