ChicagoRic Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Gabriel Davis and AJ Klein had good games. Hats off. Everyone else? Meh. In years past, with the silly penalties and bad fumbles and Bosa running wild, this would have been a loss because the Bills lacked the talent just grind it out. This year they have enough talent and consistency to grind it out. I'll take it. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Flat is exactly it, especially on O. No energy. JA looked like he was sleepwalking, Diggs was running backwards all game, and the laziness on the two fumbles was really weak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepsicat17 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 We did what we had to do and won against a team we should beat by multiple scores. This is when you can see the baseline of the team as a whole has been raised - we lose this game easily in the past. Good sign and a good win but hope we tighten it up in the future. Consistency is the next step for the team as a whole to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Not sure I'd call it flat. More like playing a good defensive team, overall we played very good 95% of the plays, but the 5% where they screw up, they do it big time at the worst times to give the other team another shot.

LABILLBACKER Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Sorry but flat is way too mild a word. By the Grace of God we scored 27 points. We played terrible. More turnovers. More stupid decisions by players and coaches. More penalties which we've come to expect every week. Another Hail Mary that was 1 yard from being a TD. No matter how many mistakes this team makes they will promise you they won't learn from them and make them again. It's the Clappy McBillsy way. Worst 2nd half team in the NFL. You know you're bad when both announcers mock your halftime instabilities. Orange slices....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Process Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 A win is a win but we've gotten to a point where we are beyond that.

Haslett_Stomp Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) Hail Mary defense aside, the defense is rounding into form. Despite the offense doing their best to keep it close, the defense did not let the Chargers take advantage of the turnovers in the 2nd half.

I mean, I guess you can hang the turnovers and penalties on them....but it's not as though the Bills were repeatedly making the same mistakes over and over again--they made new ones each time . I think the defensive strategy and execution were pretty darn good, and the offensive strategy to establish the run was working great. Coulda/shoulda gone up by 2 TDs with 5 minutes to play. But I don't entirely disagree with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone explain to me why we should beat a team that historically never loses by multiple scores by multiple scores lol I keep seeing this in every thread and I just dont get it...we played the chargers tougher than anyone has all season. It took two back to back fumbles to keep this from a blowout. Is it simply because they're 3-7?

Big Turk Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) Honestly today's game was kind of boring from a football standpoint. No real flashy plays minus the Beasley trickeration but a lot of solid football plays. Then they decided to go on a turnover barrage but the D played very well down the stretch to hold them in ✔ and bailed out the O getting a turnover of their own back in the process. Chargers only got 3 points off the 3 TOs which is pretty remarkable. We were a little lucky Lynn passed up a 43 yard FG attempt on 4th and 1 earlier because if they make that we are playing the end of the game to prevent the tie rather than a meaningless score.

Maybe Someday Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I wouldn’t say we played flat. Our defense played really good today. We really missed John Brown’s speed taking the top off the defense. I was really happy to see the run game do so well today. They have a good team that is consistently held back by really questionable coaching decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Just one of those games coming out of a bye week you fear. Chargers are in most if not all games. Bills needed to survive and win and they did. So props to them. But as mentioned, the penalties, turnovers, soft D at times and Josh playing hero ball...is a recipe for a poor game next week if it’s not cleaned up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today at least the RB's showed signs they could be solid down the stretch but the TE's combined for 2 catches for 5 yards. Typically TE's combine for 60 - 70 yards for their teams. This is a real problem with Brown out. I'm not sure they can fix it until the off season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
