our offense vs their D.   We should have Coleman back for this one too.  
 

Agree that our defense is probably going to once again give up WAY too many big plays for our liking, but… if we can continue our success on offense, Josh can be a hero on a couple plays again, and the special teams blunders are cleaned up, we have a pretty good chance IMO.

Yea I don’t see Goff is going to replicate what Stafford did.  Stafford is a better QB with a quick release and a big time gun.  We gotta play more man.  Put Elam in there.  Allen needs to come out slinging, and use the run as an afterthought.  It will be a boat race with Bills on top, 38-31.  We need to get 2 turnovers.

Yep- although I think the blueprint has been out on how to shred this defence for a while.

 

Bills want you to go 10-12 plays and be perfect.

 

If teams stay committed to the run and quarterbacks understand zone coverage and stay patient, it's a very simple defence to shred

Missed this comment but it kind of ties into what we’re talking about now haha. The lions were hitting big plays because Douglas was giving less cushion than your typical mcd game the way I saw it..  this didn’t feel like what you’re describing as a typical mcd game to me at all.  They didn’t run the ball particularly well either which forced them into a lot of 3rd and mediums or longer but they hit them all

I think you mean 6.  3 passing, and 3 rushing.  Not 8.  He did great, we lost.  Onto Detroit.  They are so banged up, we have a chance.  Not having Coleman is a problem.  The problem for me Captain obvious is the defense.  They’ve played well, but crapped the bed yesterday.

 

Oh no... it was a joke about the Lions... Allen and the Bills will score 8 TDs and still lose 59-56. The Bills Defense doesn't look like it can stop the Lions and I hate McDermott's schemes

[nedboy7]

I think the entire team is embarrassed as they should be.  I expect a great performance from them.  At least a decent showing from the DL.

In the 2nd half.

 

The first two drives it felt like Williams was into the second level constantly with no linebackers in sight and secondary players having to make the tackle. 

 

When Corum got his first half drive, he was running with the same results.

Hey you might be right and we won't really know until we see the breakdowns- So if I'm wrong I have no problem saying so.

 

But watching it live this is what I got out of it:

 

-Bills played a lot of soft zone in the 1st half which got shredded in the pass and run 

-Bills adjusted in the 2nd half and did more run blitzes which helped the run D out

 

-Bills tried to send more pressure and played more man in the 2nd half at times but again what I was saying, it seemed very predictable and Mcvay had the blitz beaters dialed up.

 

Again I could be wrong- But those were my observations from watching it live

Yea I think you’re discounting the second half more than I am which seems like a personal taste type thing lol

It wasn't always scheme though... like there's 2 guys there on Kupps 3rd down TD.  Just a great throw, great play by the WR.

Haha fair. I guess my biggest issue is why are you starting off the defensive game plan playing a lot of coverage, and why does it take you a half to adjust.

 

Mcvay also adjusted cause he knew the bills would try to send pressure. If the bills started off with pressure looks, I think it's a completely different game and it would have kept Mcvay and stafford on their toes more

Nope not always. I agree with that 

[JMM]

After yesterday's debacle and all the negative press all week I actually think the Bills will come out and play very well. And this week the trap game vibe goes to the Lions. But...because of home field and just terrible matchups again,  I expect them to lose again in a close well played game.

[HopelessNJBuffaloFan]

This is going to be an asskicking. LOL The Bills defense is soft and got exposed, and the Lions are going to destroy us. Get a big strong run Dman and a great pass rusher!!! Offseason wish list!!

The Lions have a lot of injuries on defense. I don't think the Bills will win but I do expect it to be a high scoring game that is close. 

[Stretch]

Goff is more mistake prone than Stafford.  I think our takeaways could be back this week and that will be needed.

I would be very surprised if we don't see one of the best games of the year from this team next week based on how things usually go after these type of games.

Just like the Houston game was a great rebound?

[RyanC883]

Another QB who can't run, we should get a TON of sacks.  (checks notes).  NO sacks against the Rams.  

 

At least the Run D should be good?  (checks notes).  Nope, not all year.  

 

Yeah, we need to outscore them.  I can't see the D getting pressure on Goff, or stopping the 2 headed RB monster that Det has.

good point, but Goff can play a clean game at home and with a clean pocket.

We did yesterday. I just think both the Bills and Lions will score a lot. My guess is the score will be similar to the Rams game.

That was one of Allen’s worst games. I don’t see that as being any kind of trend right now.

That was one of the highest scoring games of the last few decades. I’d guess the winning score would be around 30 or so . 

[MarlinTheMagician]

Not sure that loss to the Rams won't be good for us in the long run.  Admittedly I am an optimist, but I am calling a Bills win in an upset against Detroit.

As good as Detroit is, Dan Campbell does some really bone headed stuff. So I think this will be a close game, I don't think we'll get killed. However McDermott has 4 games to figure out how to handle end of game management, and also his defense 

my guy

 

their advanced offense is going to absolutely wreck this soft as baby poop defense

 

it's going to be a blowout
