Billsfan1972 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I am usually tough on the Bills and after yesterday's game, came away not very happy. Mostly it is always about the offense & yesterday they were out of sync & Bosa just killed them. Disjointed and just not a great game to watch. Concerned that they seem flat of late (outside of Seattle game). As for the running game, really it only came to life late in the game, and while stats look good, it put them in a hole early in the game. Again want to see a really dominant game (heck look at Atl yesterday). But this week I'll give them a pass. However no excuse vs. SF 49'ers & looking ahead to the Steelers, or similar excuses. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunTheBall Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 How far we have come on TBD that now we complain about the style of wins. It wasn’t that long ago our threads were full of “Yeah we lost but here’s something good that happened...”. I find it absolutely hilarious how many posters we have that are miserable after W’s. I’m thinking most of you weren’t here through the lean years well before the drought and can’t appreciate how difficult it is to win in the NFL We are 8-3. Another W. We are on to the 49ers. 12 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magox Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Chargers are a talented team. This was their first loss (I believe) of more than 8 points. The Bills overcame 3 turnovers which cost them from winning this game by even more than they did and the defense and running game played well. Running the ball and playing good defense is what this team will need to be able to put themselves in better position to win games in the playoffs. Josh needs to be able to dissect zone defenses better but he did accurately throw the ball enough to keep moving the chains aside from that bad pick . 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the INT was diagnosed well - his arm was hit as he threw and it was well short of where it needed to be. That type of flag route should be open against cover 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pass for what? They won the game and the Chargers faced their biggest deficit of the season of 18 points when they were down 24-6 in it. No passes, no excusing away the win, no rationalizing. The Bills, like many other good teams win games when they don't play their best still. Sometimes even comfortably. That is the sign of a good team. This is not unusual, nor is it realistic to think they will play their best every game. The only thing I think of when I read stuff like this is that the person saying this watches very little football outside of Bills games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a complaint because the Bills won by not following your gameplan of chucking the ball for 300 yards ?

mjt328 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 At some point, this team needs to find an answer for the second-half collapses. Consider that it was less than 12 months ago that we boasted a 16-point lead over the Houston Texans in the Wild Card round of the playoffs. What could have been our first playoff victory in well over 20 years, was spoiled by a total mental breakdown on both sides of the ball. Missed tackles. Penalties. Sacks. Instead of learning from that comedy of errors, and improving in 2020, the Bills seem to have embraced the Texans game as our identity. A team that starts out of the gate strong, but struggles to close out opponents. Sorry if I can't get excited about 8-3. We had the same record last year, and even improved to 9-3 after our exciting Thanksgiving victory. It didn't stop us from ending the season 1-4, with the bitterly disappointing finish listed above. Eleven games in, I have seen ZERO improvement from this team as a whole. My last hope was that we could get some things right at the bye. But we didn't. Rest assured, the 2020 Bills are headed for the same kind of heartbreaking finish as 2019. The Dolphins continue to bite at our heels in the division, and I'm not 100% sure this thing ends with us a top the AFC East. If we somehow manage to scrape out 1st Place, I'm horrified at the prospect of a first-round exit courtesy of the Browns, Dolphins or Raiders. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because they didn’t score 50 points, doesn’t meant they *don’t want to*, it just isn’t coming together as they’d like. But since this the NFL, on earth, in the real world, things don’t always go as planned... And yes, Josh had some hiccups yesterday, but to say he does stupid stuff w the ball, makes me wonder what Bills season you’re watching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they need to turn it on and make plays, they do it. And even they have found themselves at the end of games hanging on and needing to grind out first downs...or throwing a late TD like against Vegas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thurman#1 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 "Give them a pass"? Who do you think you are? Is your last name Pegula? In any case, nobody needs a pass for a win by ten points. Yet another genuinely bad post. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Usually when you are negative 2 in the turnover battle you lose. The Chargers only got 3 points off of 3 turnovers. The defense is gaining some traction. The offense will be fine. The offense is missing John Brown and they didn't pass block for squat yesterday.

TigerJ Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 How likely is it that Buffalo will again commit 3 turnovers in the space of less than 10 plays on offense? They did so yesterday and still won. To me, they never really looked like they were being threatened. Yes, there are lots of things they need to clean up, but they got the win and nobody can take it away from their record now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but hell, it was a two score double digit victory... A pass my azs. We won the dam- game. Look at what happened to the LV Raiders, get some perspective people. Some of the posters here are just the worst. Every team we play gives their absolute best effort, and feels total embarrassment if they lose, after all they just lost to the historically hapless Buffalo Bills, and yes that reputation is still Omni present in the football world, it will be a few more years of success before it truly starts to fade away.

Taro Nimbus Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 This game wasn’t as close as the score showed.
