It just doesn’t seem right that Buffalo is in a position whereby they need to win out (and need a bit of help) to get into the post-season but here we are.

To The Game!

Bills/Chargers:

-That Bolts D took a shit-kicking last week to the Raiders of all teams but if that’s what it takes to get rid of Staley, I’m on board with the embarrassment. It took the higher-ups way too long to address the disparity between supposed ‘defensive guru’ and their 29th-ranked defense. It might take a bit of time for the stink to dissipate though.

-The Bills finally look half-decent now that James Cook is being deployed properly. He’s had at least 100 yards from scrimmage the last four weeks and wadd ya know, they’re 3-1 during that stretch.

-Cook’s opposite number Ekeler is a struggler though-he’s running at a 2.8 ypc these last four fixtures. His numbers should improve from here on out because I do believe this team quit on Staley.

-Can’t Quite Finish: Buffalo’s six losses are by a combined 26 points. In fact, going back to their last 11 losses, they’ve all been by six points or fewer.

-Rock vs. Other Rock: It wouldn’t seem they were capable of it but the Chargers D did have success putting opposing qb’s on the ground, ranking sixth in that category. Contrast that with a Bills o-line (with quite a bit of help from a very slippery Allen) that has only allowed 19 sackeroos.

-Dicker? I Hardly…: Los Angeles has severe scoring woes but one player that’s doing his part is Dicker The Kicker-over the last two seasons his field goal percentage is 95% and he’s not missed a point after.

-The first question asked of new/placeholder Chargers coach Giff Smith? “Your first name, is it pronounced with a ‘J’ or a ‘G’?”

Go for it! (in the comments only, you’re too old for that shit)
