Sal’s Sticks: Lions at Bills

‘How can anyone come away not liking the way Allen performed Sunday? Unless you’re simply “box score scouting,” I’m not sure how anyone can come away from this one not impressed with the way he threw the ball, his leadership and command, and of course the result thanks to a fourth quarter comeback.’

Bills hang on in 14-13 win over Lions

‘Josh Allen scored his sixth rushing touchdown of the season, finishing with 16 yards on the ground. In the air, he went 13-for-26 for 204 yards and a touchdown. Wide receiver Robert Foster had another standout day. He recorded 108 yards receiving on four catches, becoming the first UDFA rookie to record more than 100 yards in consecutive games. He scored the team’s second touchdown on a 42-yard pass from Allen in the fourth quarter.’

‘You’d have to be living under a rock not to know what the true intent of the Bills has been all along. It’s the development of Josh Allen in a non-pressurized situation while having a secondary impact of the young players around him learning how to play in those situations as well.’

Allen leads Bills past Lions

‘Keith Ford, who was promoted from the practice squad earlier in the week, led the Bills with 45 rushing yards after Marcus Murphy exited the game with an arm injury.’

Bills show signs of growth with “learning to how to win”

‘”It’s huge,” veteran safety Micah Hyde said. “Any December football, in the fourth quarter and you find a way to win, it’s huge. You learn for the future. Hopefully next year, we’re in the same situation with a way better record and we’re able to play in December, have meaningful games and come away with a victory just like that.”‘

‘Well one it’s how hard Robert works. In practice he’s always on top of the speed charts and extremely competitive. Obviously being an un-drafted rookie free agent he’s got a lot to prove. And the last four weeks have kind of shown what he’s capable of. Early on in the year he wasn’t making these types of plays, but he’s put his head down and went to work. One, he’s a great story. Two, he works his tail off. He gives me everything he’s got in practice and then in the games he produces.’

‘”In my opinion, Bills Mafia is very kind, hard working people that love their Bills. They’re very generous. We’ve done a lot of things to raise money for charities and stuff like that. So, it really does not surprise me that someone would do this. I am just blessed that they did,” said DeGroat.’

Bills rally to beat Lions thanks to special teams errors

‘The Lions also have the same 5-9 record, but had the star player of the day despite losing. Wide receiver Kenny Golladay got the better of Bills defensive back Tre’ White multiple times. Golladay finished with seven catches for 146 yards, but only three of those receptions for 31 yards came in the second half.’

Robert Foster turning heads as Josh Allen’s top target

‘”A lot of teams in this league have that guy that can take the top off. We’re fortunate enough to just fall into getting Rob and he’s making plays and a name for himself. I said to him the other day, ‘Just keep being yourself,”’ smiled Micah Hyde.’

Bills reveling in Foster’s comeback story

‘He was brought back to the practice squad and something clicked. Foster has said many times getting cut was exactly what he needed. Since returning to the active roster, Foster has topped 100 yards in three of five games. He’s scored two touchdowns, including the winner Sunday against Detroit.’

Top 3 things we learned from Lions-Bills

‘“It was beautiful. It was a perfect pass,” said Foster of his 42-yard scoring play. “That’s what practice is for. We practice it that over and over and over again and we came down with it in the game and it played a big factor.”’
