What made me have to walk to the kitchen is, after the refs imploded that drive, there was a block in the back right in front of the official at the point of the return… no call. This officiating is just all over the place. It must be exhausting for the players. 

Haha it was not all over the place tonight it was all in one place 😂

Anyone think Shakir wasn’t actually touched down (speaking of impossible Josh throws)? I thought it was so bang-bang, that they maintain the call the field. 

There's a myth that evidence must be clear and convincing to overturn the call on the field.  What they do now is take their best guess about what happened,  Maybe that's better actually but it's not the story that they tell us.

Allen has a bad game every now and then.  When he has one and the Bills still win, take it and enjoy the outcome.  

 

He missed several wide open receivers in the first half, and his INT came on a play when he had Diggs open and underthrew him.  I don't know if he has a problem going back to the Cowboys game when he made a few good throws but Cook's running was the star.  He hasn't been really great since the KC game.

Yep agreed. 3 turnovers  to 0. Some lame penalties. Weird dynamics for travel schedule .

 

a win is a win

Cook played like he was still sick.  Josh underthrowing Diggs really hurt. That could've easily been a td.  Plus by the 4th quarter,  the Bills were in 11pm mode.  Penalties also factored in bigtime.  I personally thought Shakir got his knee up?  Wierd night but so impressed with the Mafia turnout tonight.  It may have been ugly but still a DUB.

Allen missing a wide open Davis in man coverage across the field early on, I believe the first or second drive was a potential TD as well.  There was nobody back there and Davis had at least 3-4 yards and was running away from the defender in coverage.

this is a really exciting season.

 

i know it's in the bills culture and history to just come and stomp teams by 50 points and win the superbowl every year. cough. cough. 

 

but this has been a thrilling up and down ride so far compared to most i've seen. and if sport is not exciting, and you're not haunted by the jeopardy of defeat, what is the point of it?

 

we were done after denver and we're still standing at christmas and largely thanks to a man called rudolph.  have a good one, all.

I’m 48 and I remember the Kelly bills having tight sphincter games all the time. I think they clinched the 88 division title against a bad Jets team in Orchard Park, 9-6.  I don’t recall desiring style points. 


I believe Fred Smerlas of all people blocked the tying FG too.

The ugliest win is nicer than a strong moral victory. I got too many of the latter in the drought years

Ill take this ugly win over the beautiful loss to the Eagles 🤔

 

Football is funny, you got teams like us who do VERY well against some of the best teams around, yet struggle against the bad teams...Browns are the same way, beat the two best teams in Football this season, yet are still fighting for a playoff spot
