I thought he did okay. That TD he gave up was obscene. Perfect position and hand right by the ball. Just a great throw. The Lions receivers are good, and the Bills left their corners on islands more today.

Lions can’t stay in man coverage. Allen will run for 15 yards per pop.

I suspect Tre will Be out there like 10% of the time today.

Given my dislike for McVay, I have to say that I am Glad Goff is looking good and Stafford terrible.

those are not reviewable.

that nifty inside handoff to McK could have been huge if Bates got out on that LB.

McKenzie is an absolute man beater. If they are going to play tight man today, they need to target him a bunch.

Looked like Bass Missed that!

They are letting the DBs grab a lot here.

Nice drive by the lions. Let’s get into a rhythm here on O!

hate second and long runs.

Would love to just see some easy check downs to Hines to get rolling.

was nervous when he started the song so high. But he had the range!

I don’t know if I should admire you for your dedication, or worry about your patients! 😄

I think the hotel capacity would be more of a driver. But they have held the Super Bowl multiple times in Detroit, so I am not sure the weather would necessarily drive the decision. But maybe.

No doubt. But that is a result of recent mass inflation. The spike in those construction costs from 2020 to now is massive. My hope is that inflation overall comes down. But even if it doesn’t, that means the $1.3B for the Bills current stadium is going to be a lot higher too. I still think there is a design comparable to Lucas that will be cheaper than what the Bills are currently building now. (If they wanted something nicer, Minnesota is the model). If they don’t want a roof, that is fine. But I don’t think they can blame the higher costs on that decision. I just don’t get the decision. Outside of Met Life (considered one of the worst stadiums in the NFL), no one is really building open air stadiums anymore. Vegas, Atlanta, Indy, Minn, now Chicago— all closed stadiums. Open air is a thing of the past. It’s an absurd decision from a basic ROI.

I am sort of stressed about this game. Lions on a 3-game winning streak. They have very close losses to Vikings and Dolphins. Seems like they are scrappy. We are going to have to play with some fire.

agreed. I will like look at the clock at 3:30, and the stress of not knowing will be killer.

Going to be rough for me. Have people coming to eat around 2 PM. I think I am going to watch the first half, and then DVR the second half. I just get so stressed out when I know the game is occurring and I am not watching it.

yeah, I am talking about just time value of money. That said, cost wise, I have to think even with increased construction costs, Lucas would have to be in the ballpark of the price tag the Bills are paying for their open air stadium. (Also, the PPI seems to reflect the recent radical inflation— would have to think those numbers decrease as the unnatural spike in inflation settles down).

He’s better than one might think given he is more of a thumper— and is a lot better than Dodson (or Bernard, who was even worse than Dodson).

Dodson was horrendous in coverage last week. Just looked like he was stuck in mud. We really need Klein out there.

Lucas oil cost $720M in 2008. In today’s dollars, that comes out to about $996M. The open air stadium the bills are building is like $1.4B!!
