Bills at Lions - Post Game Thread

[Best Williams Available]

As onlookers I’m not sure we can appreciate how much mental fortitude it took to overcome that 2nd half lull. Weaker men/teams woulda folded. Instead 90 yard drive then 23 second game winning FG. Just incredible.

To go 2 - 0 after all the crap this team has had to deal with over the last 7 days, amazing effort!

Thats an all world throw and catch right there.  

Romo understood what a ridiculous throw that is in a way most of us watching did not, b/c we weren't NFL quarterbacks....

 

He said maybe 5 guys, ALL TIME, could make the throw. 

 

That may or may not be true, but it shows you the respect he had for that throw.

 

Like 50 yards in the air on a  rope.  If not a big more.

Since week 3 this team has been absolutely decimated from injuries.  Might need to pull the old Philly open tryouts soon.

They add legs to it from other turkeys.  They always do this every year.

 

Thanks...and lol. They also must have loosened the drumsticks, because you have to put in some effort to pull them off.

Great win by the Bills.  Hard fought game against a tough opponent, on the road, on a short week, after overcoming big adversity the week prior.  Not to mention all the starters and key players that were out today.  

 

Some of the fans here gave up and do nothing but blame and point fingers.  The Bills are not going to win every game by 38-10. They are not going to win every game - period.  

 

Some of the same fans complaining about losing close games are now complaining about winning a close game. 

 

Anyone who has been a Bills fan, check that - a football fan, would be happy to get that win and would be looking at the positives to build on.  

 

Next Thursday night in Foxboro.  Expect a difficult challenge and a tough game.  It will be like this every week, no matter who we play or were it is.   

 

Enjoy the rest of Thanksgiving and Go Bills!

ugly win, fantastic finish.

 

Go Bills!

 

happy thanksgiving to you guys. 

 

My festivity will come on Sunday with an asado (barbacue) in hot weather (90º degrees)

 

Gracias! This victory deserves Argentinian steak  

 

I feel so relieved right now. Our season can turn on this moment.

[Toledo Bill]

It wasn’t just the last pass to Diggs, the last gutsy run by Allen was huge. Bass did not make that last kick by much.

[Success]

Great Thanksgiving, fellows!  I plan to keep drinking - hopefully, we get a Pats L tonight to put a cherry on top.

It’s as if Josh elbow has a couple of these in reserve and he’s pulled the 10 gun there.

A chunk of the bad throws today just looked like straight up miscommunications on option routes to me…specifically the ball to cook where cook started right and completely changed his mind in a split second and josh threw it right.

MVP for this game: Tyler Bass.  Not only did he kick the game winning field goal, but I think his missed extra point saved us.  If they were down four, the way their offense and our defense was playing, I do not have confidence that we would have stopped them.  They would have gone for it on fourth...probably made it...and scored a touchdown with like 5 seconds left.

 

I'm not sure you're wrong.  I can't remember the math exactly, but I made a mental note a couple of weeks ago about how the Vikings missing that PAT probably cost us the game.  Not sure this game would have turned out differently, but giving Detroit the opportunity to mis-manage the clock definitely worked out in our benefit.

With a busted arm no less.

I wonder if Bass missed that extra point on purpose to lull the Lions into a drive for a FG.

It may have unintentionally won us the game. Instead of having to go for the win on 3/4&1 the Lions were content with the FG which meant Allen and Diggs had their opportunity to be clutch performers.

Cook was very frustrating today. Figured he would have surer hands and could make guys miss in space. I still don’t get why Hines can’t be out there on obvious passing downs.

Absolutely, thought this straight after the missed XP.  The way Detroit was converting 4th downs I would have expected them to score a TD on that last drive had they been 4 points behind.

I’m surprised they didn’t go for that last one…I guess they figured it still would’ve taken a lot to get into the end zone with little time left so why risk it

Hard fought win, on a difficult week.

 

Coming out of all that 2-0 is a minor achievement in itself.

 

You can see how much it took out of the players at the end.

 

More tough sledding to come with injuries seeming to mount up.

 

Good team win, and at the end of the day, a win is a win, no matter how you come by it, after plenty of adversity.

I thought AJ Klein was huge today for us. Would have been a nightmare with Dodson out there.
