Dorian Williams hurt an arm or something. Probably a wrist

I know it looks messed up in back to back weeks but that's more optics and situational, imo. The Lions had 14 points late in the 3rd qrtr when the Bills went up 3 TDs and started trading yards for time. It was just two drives they were too passive and it was as much abut the clock and scoreboard as it was protecting the safety position. When relatively healthy they are a competent defense that forces offenses to execute at high efficiency. I wish they were more proactive at times and hope they will be going forward knowing they are partnering with that kind of offense. The fact they are likely to be playing with lots of leads is helpful and if they can keep Milano, Rapp and hopefully Bishop out there I think they are good enough to win a SB.

That was a weird letdown game when nothing goes right for you; you get them every couple months. I don't expect this defense to stone people but if it's coached well (which it was today) it can create enough problems for opponents that they have little hope of keeping up with Brady/Allen.

They definitely fouled up those two drives where they got too passive early when they went up three scores; defensively they needed to force 4-5 minutes of clock on those instead of 2 minutes on each. Aside from that I though they did a really good job handling what was the best offense in the world, particularly losing 3 starting DBs in one week.

Nothing personal, but this thread is so offbase it deserves no better, imo.

This is so bizarre and off base I am moderately worried for you.

Both of the Bills co-ordinators were aggressively innovative today against the best competition in the world. I have no idea what some folks were watching.

Not having to run our 4th and 5th safeties against the NFL's leading offense might make a difference.

Props to Bernard for the sneaky punch-in before Taron had that ball corralled.

More of the same. This offense is approaching Kgun levels; you have to defend every blade of grass and it can't be done against a QB with the kind of vision and ability that's running it. Joe Brady is not going to get enough credit but the variety he keeps putting out there every week and the way the players are dialed in executing it is a sight.

Halftime; Bills ball to open. Brady continues t dazzle and Allen is ripping trip20s all over the field. Oline is a wall and Cook has massive lanes (he's left a few yards on the field trying to get outside too much but is finishing runs hard) Kincaid, TJohnson and SHakir getting a lot of looks by design Tons of extra pressure on D; they've really pened up- the playbook after last wee's chickenspit work. Goff effective on his first reads but when he has to come off it presure is forcing mistakes. Safeties not great but have been left hung out to dry more than once. Bills showing some 3LB sets on 1st downs too Bass missed a chipie then the Bills didn't manage the end of the half well and might have left 3pnts on the field Be the last one to leave your friend

Running gadget plays is generally not a sustainable path to success

If you're going ot run all your good games in the 4:00 slot, at least offset them by 10-15 minutes.

Get some gents...

No Hyde today

You're about to be holding Stef Diggs' beer

Only if they're playing Al Qaeda

I think we're cbs today and Pbrg/Philly is Fox

I heard they flip the turf at halftime

I just want to annoy them, not be garroted by Terrible Towels

Pretty sure official scoring can be changed at any time

I don't want to take the ball out of Allen's hands either, but when James Cook has 6 carries you've ****** it up.

Mushrooms today, eh?

I'm probably going to initially put the Bills game on both TVs just to watch my guests flip out
