Week 12 Post Game thread Bills vs Chargers

Just my two cents, and change:

 

I guess I can't be too mad at this game. Offense looked so undisciplined in the second half, that it's hard to remember the good things from the first.

 

At one point in the first half, the ref announced #71 as an eligible receiver. I had forgotten who that was-- Ryan Bates. But, the rest of the O-line starters were out there. Were they playing him like a TE? Weird.

 

Knox blocks sucks. (And he used a lot more effort reeling in that TD than was necessary)

Lee's blocks are damn good.

 

What the hell? Klein is legit? What happened midseason to get him to flip that switch?

 

If we're going to be a base 4-2-5 defense, we need a better nickel than Taron Johnson.

 

Our run game seemed to emerge in the second half, in no small part to improved O-line play in that area. I can forgive Motor's fumble, but I don't feel like we have complimentary backs. I'll take Motor over Moss, although there are people on this board that disagree. And, I'm not saying Moss is terrible, but IMO he's not a good compliment. I'm not sure I wouldn't feel better with Yeldon out there. Moss has been a disappointment, if you ask me.

 

This offense really misses Smoke when he's not there. I think Allen/McD needed to spread the ball around more in the second half. The TEs were invisible, McKenzie was a non-factor, and with Diggs playing so many short routes, there was little speed on the field, and we weren't that hard to cover in the second. Poor offensive adjustments at the half.

 

Great defensive adjustments at the half, though. The Chargers O became demoralized.

One thing that does worry me some is:

 

We drafted Allen for his big strong arm and he has shown the arm strength many times.  But whenever the weather/wind is any kind of a factor Allen has had his least impressive games.  Admittedly they ran the ball much better which is good and not that he threw the ball bad at all, but still does worry me a little.

 

Allen had that crazy off throw on the WR screen. That and INT 2 bad throws.

There’s many times I disagree with the refs and think they make bad calls....

 

This crew today honestly should not be allowed to ref another game this year. That whole second half was full of crap calls. Early on they were blowing early whistles. Personal Fouls called that were unavoidable.

 

Poyers call, Oliver’s call and definitely Davis call were all crap.

I'm happy we won. But anyone who thinks today was a good enough is sorely mistaken. We were fortunate Lynn and the Chargers self-destruct regularly.

They played the team they played. This is who the chargers are.  The chargers are 3-8 for a reason. They’ve lost all their games by one score except one... the Bills. They went to OT vs the saints. They would have beaten the chiefs if not not for a 58 yard FG. Bills beat them by 2 scores. What is the issue.

the problem is they never look like the titans or chiefs and completely dominate a team

Not good enough. Acceptance of that performance is not what we're all after. I doubt McDermott will be very happy this week either.

Never indicated happiness...but questioned the original commenter about what "finishing" means to them.  We turned it over 4 times in the 4th quarter, had multiple stops at key times, got a key FG at the end, and FINISHED THE GAME WITH A WIN.  That was my only point.  Not sure what "finish" means when you WIN.  The Cards game....sure, talk all you want about "FINISHING" but this game...was "FINISHED" with a WIN.  8-3.  You'd think we were were 3-8 based on a lot of posts on here.  We won!  We did it!  Enjoy it!

 

Better to win and have things to work on, than to lose and have things to work on!

 

We FINISHED WITH A WIN!

A win is a win as far im concerned. I’m not mcdermott. I’m sure he’s never that happy like any coach.

It literally WAS good enough. What are you trying to say?

It was ugly but the win was still predicated on our guys making big plays.  Klein, Tre, Oliver, Beasley to Davis.  We were still the better team.

 

Chargers had players dedicated to taking care of Klein and he still made plays.  Look how much things have changed.

Ugly win but I’ll take it.... doesn’t look like a team that will beat the likes of the Chiefs or Titans in the playoffs but you never know.

The Chargers had not lost by more than 8 points all season until this game. The Bills beat them by 10. The Chargers lost to the Chiefs by 3 (in OT), the Saints by 3 (in OT), and the Buccaneers by 7.  They are a good team.  This was a good win!

Allen was under too much pressure and wasn’t comfortable all day.  He’s been given a ton of time to throw all year but the Chargers today (mostly Bosa but also Tillery) weren’t having it.  Just imagine if Ingram had played. There is no excuse for letting a great passrusher dominate an entire game like that.  On one of his sacks they forgot to even block him.  The offense was a sloppy mess all day and it’s definitely McD’s worst effort coming off a bye (he’s usually got his team ready after the rest week).  Just not a great NFL product on the field today - pretty much across the league.  Lots of sloppy plays, weird officiating, the announcers sound tired, it’s been a long year and people are tired from having to socialize a bit after months of isolation (my theory).

Putting teams away so a bad call or a bad play can’t beat you. 
If you want to fly your they won flag football ahead I don’t mind. I’m extremely happy they got they win. 
 

The issue I have is the lack of execution and focus in the second half. It’s either the offense or defense that lets down in the second half because of mental errors and lack of focus.

If you can't understand that the way we played in fourth quarter especially is not good enough I can't help. They did some things some of which have been repeated over and over that will not play against good opponents.

The Singletary fumble, the Allen pick, and the Allen fumble so late in the game just cant let me feel great. Giving up that hail mary was surreal and weird. 

 

Week in and week out, so dissapointed with Hyde, and even Poyer. 

 

Great to be 8-3 ...should go 9-3 but who knows with this crew.

Where is Hyde.

As far as I can tell he's never been used as a blitz specialist, more as a run thumper.  Maximum credit to Leslie Frazier for understanding Klein's potential in getting after the QB.

They have beaten lots of good opponents THIS YEAR. They have beaten the most winning teams in the league (as of last week).

 

So are you saying the Bills aren't a good team?

He did not play very well. He’s in a little bit of a funk right now. His play still qualifies as “pretty good,” but the bad play ratio has skyrocketed of late.

Noticing the same...could have easily had 4 INTs vs. the Cardinals...
