Bills @ Chargers post game thread

[DuckyBoys]

O line was bad  Cooks ball security stunk  Harty just stinks period   Joe Brady looking Dorsey like at times  Think our offensive problems run deeper than just Ken Dorsey Players still sloppy even with season on the line

Yes, but all the talk of "no one wants to face the Bills in the playoffs" is out the window now, right? Since, you know, they looked like garbage, and won by the skin of their teeth against an inferior opponent. 

 

The sad reality is that they came within inches of being "the same old Bills." The "they're hot and steamrolling into the playoffs" is just a pipe dream now. Likely one and done.

 

Bring on the blinders wearing homer thumbs downs and red Xs. LOL

BUT , they didn't😅 go look back at all super bowl winners, they are littered with these type of wins. Did i like it🤕 not at all but onward they go.

Won on a short week, time change etc etc... wasnt pretty but you win and move on... learn how to prepare better during adverse circumstances... still a win is win and at least they beat the hockey stick.

I’m sure it was a tough game in that the Chargers probably did implement a few wrinkles the Bills hadn’t seen on film. They had 9 days to prepare.

 

On the other hand, just a sloppy offensive/special teams game. All 3 of those Bills turnovers were just horrible.

 

The W is all that matters. Fix the sloppiness.

[Warcodered]

I tried to find the one from the Giants game because it was shorter and didn't involve the Dolphins but this still works.

 

 

Why is it always ***** like this. 😭

But let’s only keep discussing Purdy and Lamar for MVP. 
 

I don’t get the constant narrative. 

I don’t even understand how Lamar is in the conversation. His stats would match a QB in the 80s and 90s not today NFL

painfully...for the most part

Our boys not look like the have or were they ugly self inflicted wounds to keep them within reach?

 

Looking at the box score Chargers clearly won the turnover battle.

My son said before Bass kicked the FG he had a thought of Bass missing it then had a vision of going outside and throwing up

I was worried when they said it was off the right hash. At least it was just a 29-yarder.

I care what happens, but nothing that does will change my mind on McD.  He’s just not an NFL caliber HC.

 

In other words, you have a dogmatic religious belief on this topic?

Still don't like the end of game calls settling for a FG

 

You go in and score a TD, there is no way Easton stick is leading a TD drive in less than two minutes when he struggled to get even a single TD all game

 

But guess what he has done....lead his team into FG range five times 

 

You are facing Easton stick not pat mahomes or even a bum like Derek carr but EASTON STICK 

It’s becoming a very bad trend. End of game situations like this. They are consistently settling / coming up only with FG. This team needs to END games on OFFENSE! 

[Doc Brown]

Credit to McDermott for leaving Cook in there after that fumble.

Folks complaining about the coaching….  Without the turnovers this game isn’t close.  Win by 2 or 22 it’s still a win.  Been rooting for this team forever, it’s never been easy and probably never will be.

 

I like style points too.  they got plenty in the Dallas game.  But yeah NFL is just win by 1 point and move on.  And to win with -3 turnover margin is impressive. That’s probably like a 95% loss when you lose the margin that bad.

Why are you just guaranteed a td though? Lol yea obviously if you were just given a td we’d choose that 😂. What if you throw a couple incomplete passes and settle for a fg anyway and the chargers preserve their timeouts?

 

Then your whole ‘he’s led 5 fg drives’ point comes in…he led 0 fg drives when only having 30 seconds and no timeouts 

[SydneyBillsFan]

The best thing about this game apart from the dub - that Terrell Bernard did not tear an Achilles tendon, which was my immediate reaction when he started limping on that non-contact play.

[Iverwig]

Bills had to beat the Chargers, refs, and the announcers tonight

You commit to scoring or commit to burning clock.  Against this team, each play where the clock kept running increased our chances of winning.  If we scored quick, we had to make a 2 point still.

[WhitewalkerInPhilly]

I'll give it to the Chargers: they came to play. They had little to play for other than pride and they still brought it.

 

But it's only close with 3 bad turnovers 

[DCofNC]

Biggest take away for me, I’ll just put my TV on mute any time Collinsworth is calling a game from now on, I hate the sound of the man’s voice at this point. 

[NickelCity]

I need a pill

[HomeskillitMoorman]

We lived to see another day, that's the most important thing here. It was over if we lost this game. 

 

This is a pretty flawed team and I still think coaching is still a big issue. But right now just getting into the dance is everything. Had to have it.
