ChronicAndKnuckles Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 This is going to be a lot tougher of a game than people realize. Buffalo can’t come out looking flat like they did against the Browns. The one thing the Lions can do is score points scoring 30+ in 5 of their matchups. I think they are much better than what their record is. Thankfully their defense is atrocious. 5 1 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmotionallyUnstable Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Alright all you turkeys, pay attention, because this is how it’s about to go down: Josh Allen and company will roll into Detroit on Thanksgiving, and it’s almost certain they’ll be stuffing the ball down these guy’s throats. In fact, there is no telling who’s head will be mashed potatoes when all said and done. I fully understand that it seems like we’re down to string beans on defense, but don’t forget those sweet desserts that are ready to be served. Von Miller still has a pass rush as smooth as cool whip and he’s on the hunt for that last piece of pumpkin pie. Dont go getting your giblets in a tizzy about all the details. It won’t all be gravy. There are plenty of sour cranberries out there that’ll tell you all about why the Lions will be a tough game, yam, yam, yam, yam, etc. When it’s all said and done, these guys are historically genocidal on Thanksgiving. Sit back, relax and enjoy your meals. Lets feast, Buffalo. Go Bills! 11 4 10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 10 point road favorites is ludicrous given how both teams are trending. Not saying we can't or won't win a blowout but that's not where I'd put my money. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bookie Man Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 (edited) Let's keep this running game going. I want to see Cook break a long one. I feel it coming. EDIT: ALSO Can we execute some screen plays? We've got to be bottom of the league in screen attempts. I don't care if we need to summon Chan Gailey Weekend at Bernie's 2 style. Seeing Chubb and Hunt rip off chunks from screen passes made me envious. Cook and Hines have the wheels to take it the distance any given play.

Matt_In_NH Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Three game win streak for the lions. And they have had some magnificent losses. They are better than their record then again so are the bills. They can score points sometimes. Hopefully the offense can keep the foot on the gas and and make this an i stressful thanksgiving. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Did I see that right this morning, the Bills are a 9 point favorites?? I would lay money on Detroit all day plus the points. Still think the Bills should win, but cmon, the oddsmakers are still caught up in the Bills games vs Rams and Tennessee at the beginning of the season. 6 minutes ago, Matt_In_NH said: Three game win streak for the lions.

Remember the Patriots played Detroit at their lowest point, when they had injuries and were lost. Now the Bills get to play them when Detroit is playing at their peak.

I was surprised after the game when I heard that the Browns only had 80 yards on the ground, then realized it seemed like mote because of all those screens...passing game as an extension of the run game and all that.

YoloinOhio Posted November 21, 2022 Author Share Posted November 21, 2022 This is a bad matchup for the Lions D.

eball Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 If Morse is healthy (big question mark right now) then the offense “should” put up 40 on the Lions. The question is how many injured defenders do the Bills get back. Would love to see White make his debut, but just Elam and Edmunds would be fine with me. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roundybout Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Should be a nice game to open Thanksgiving. Detroits offense is insane, though they slowed down a little last over the last few weeks. Their defense is bottom-5 in every measurable category.

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 The defense needs to get fixed now because otherwise the Lions will light us up. I wish McDermott would take over the defensive play calling but everyone seems to love Fraizer.

Why move all if your crap down the hallway after yesterday’s game when you’re going to right back in the same building in three days. Makes a lot of sense to me. If you see how much equipment they bring with them, I certainly don’t blame them. The equipment staff have lives too. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Hucklebuck Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 That spread is too high. I wonder who, if anybody, the Bills get back for this game? If I could pick one player it would be Tremaine Edmunds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hemma Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I hope Josh can get a full practice in to get back some timing/accuracy. Can’t afford to start off with a bunch of 3 and outs against the Lions or they may put us in a deep hole. This is probably the most meaningful game they’ve had in a long time and they’ll come out with their hair on fire. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smuvtalker Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 IMO 10 points is a lot. Would love to see it happen and not saying it can't, but I think Vegas is underestimating the Lions. Winners of 3 in a row, and they were quality opponents (Giants, Packers and Bears). And they only lost to the Dolphins by 4. Add to that the fact they've lost the last 5 Thanksgiving day matchups, I'm assuming we're gonna get their very best effort. That win yesterday was crucial for us in so many ways. Cleaned up our run D, Allen played a much smarter, safer game and got some confidence back, our RB's both looked good, but to me the biggest stat yesterday, and maybe the most underrated, ZERO TURNOVERS. Too many games this year we've had too many self-inflicted wounds. If we can get a few more players back in the lineup (Edmunds, Elam, Groot maybe), I see no reason we can't come away with a W. I'd love to see us dominate for a full four quarters, which is really something we haven't been able to do all year, not counting the games that were blowouts and over by the 4th... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spacing on our screen plays is awful...the screen player is usually WAY too close to the blockers which draws all the defenders to him.
