Key possession

55+ was the over earlier this week. With Rapp, Douglas, and Hamlin out, I feel like they might still be a good bet.

The Lions are a tough, well coached team. They are going to get stops on Buffalo but I think the Bills offense will score enough if they don't turn the ball over. The question is can the defense slow down the Lions running game and then disrupt Goff passing. The Lions are very sound at the line of scrimmage and probably have the best OL in the NFL. I'm hopeful but not overly optimistic.

34-13 Lions Gotta get turnovers and put pressure on Goff if we can actually force them to pass.

It's funny how this thread and a couple others sum up my issues with the Bills. I just don't think you can beat 3-4 good teams in the playoffs with this defensive philosophy, especially with these players. Each one is good to decent, but they lack the size and "difference makers" to shut down good teams when it matters. There is no way McDermott is losing his job. My plan is just to draft almost all defensive players. Bigger interior dudes are preferred. Maybe a couple will hit. We are lucky to have these problems as a franchise, but McDermott's defensive philosophy and poor strategic decision-making doom us to earlier then desired playoff exits. Welcome to Marty Schottenheimer 2.0.

The offense is good enough to win it all. The defense is not. The head coach makes poor strategic decisions in high leverage situations. Its too bad, because Allen can do special things.

I've said it before, he is not a good coach strategically

I doubt too many people had this final score in that thread

The play call timeout probably sealed the game

So that cost you yards. McDermott is so poor strategically

I would decline that 100/100 times

Hope that DPI wasn't the straw that breaks the camels back

Well well well. Very interesting.

A punt??!!

The times they have blitzed they they've been picked up.

Now it's over. Defense exposed. Not a great offensive game, and a bonus special teams breakdown.

The balls move would be to put Williams in there. Don't know if it would help though.

Just one punt. 3 and out would be nice. Gotta start somewhere.

Only to force the one field goal

Can't even generate pressure when we blitz. Almost time to turn out the lights.

I just want to see the Bills force one non garbage time punt today

Bills defense not able to slow down a good offense so far.

Stafford can be a statue if he is never seriously pressured

Defense needs to step up. Let Milano blitz if we actually get a 3rd down.

It's all by design, don't worry. Seriously Milano can't shed a block at this point.
