12/15/24 Week 15 Bills @ Lions Game day Thread

[Chandler#81]

As marquee NFL games go, it just doesn’t get better than this! A combined record of 25-4, the Lions have been kicking ass and taking names from the gitgo! 2 of Buffalo’s 3 losses are from a combined 5 points! Jared Goff vs. Josh Allen. Gitcher calculators out!  Should be a fireworks display! 🧨💣

 

The Nation is tuning in again for yet another episode of the Sports Illustrated NFL Player of the Year, Josh Allen in a Sunday afternoon tilt with the NFC leading Lions. At least it won’t be in another Snowglobe. We’re playing in our most familiar and closest dome stadium, whose occupants aspire as we do to play in the seasons’ Final game. Their running game is powerful and their interior lines are monsters. The only folks who won’t be able to watch the game on tv are those whose teams play at the same time. Coming off our drama-laden loss at L.A. this represents our final big test of this regular season. If we’re going to get the 2seed, we must win today!

I guess I gotta comment on the Rams game.. 🤷‍♂️ Yet another 30 point performance by the Bills (actually FORTY TWO points!) more jaw-dropping Allen theatrics, earning him more accolades and League records with 3 passing and 3 running scores -in a defeat! MVP anyone?? Stafford’s good, but he ain’t THAT good.. Our maligned and wounded Dcorps was manhandled all game forcing Allen to dust off the cape and step into a nearby phone booth. Only a coaching miscue.. nevermind...🤦‍♂️  But the good news is we’ll see the return on Keon Coleman, Dalton Kincaid and a couple Defensive players return to action today! RaSUUUUL is out however with a knee injury, Rapp and Damar are questionable and most everyone have bumps & bruises, though overall our health is improving 🤞🤞Dewayne Smoot and Baylon Spector are back and activated!

Detroit, on the other hand, has been hurting -especially on Defense. Far too many players on their injury list to mention, but some are soon to return. Suffice it to say, our Offense should be able to play Lights Out yet again. With 14 targets last week, A.COOP is rounding into shape which demands attention from the Defense. Add in the tree-climbing Keon, the brilliance of Shakir and continued support from every one eligible to catch a pass just may make us the most potent offense since the K-Gun! 

You may recall we had some success with that endeavor.. 🤔Haven’t seen an Olineman catch a TD yet.. juss sayin’.

 

Our light and small DLine got exposed last Sunday and that’s not likely to change through the remaining games. Let’s be hopeful Mad Matt Milano and our DBs can turn it up and we can devise pressure packages with blitzes and stunts. This game is absolutely Must See and many believe it will replay in the Super Bowl!

Does the Defense make a statement this game to make up for last week? Or do they lay another egg?

I feel a statement game coming on.

Greg Rousseau had 3 sacks in the opening game against the Cardinals. He’s got 2.5 sacks in the other 12. As much as people are getting on Oliver, they should also be asking Rousseau “where’s the impact?”

Shootout until we pull away in the second half, win by two scores… Allen can do this all day.

All eyes will be on the Bills D.  Hopefully they were embarrassed and come out motivated.  Josh will eat tomorrow.

While the sack totals may not be great, Rousseau has had big impacts in many if not most of the Bills games this season. Last week’s no show was out of character for him. Oliver, on the other hand isn’t having a very good year.

Somewhere in between probably.  If they do give up 40 plus, get ready for the take Ben Johnson back on the plane instead of McDermott jokes going around.

Heard somewhere if the Bills score 30+ points for the 8th game in row, that either ties or breaks the NFL record by a team.  Can’t find the source, but pretty amazing and impressive kudos for Josh, Brady, etc.  They’ve even gotten to 7 with injuries to key offensive skill players  during the run.
