There are a LOT of teams who dream of "struggling" in that way. This was also a HUGE deal for Detroit on Thanksgiving and they were really up for the game...and like most other teams, they view the Bills as their Super Bowl. QB Power/QB Pin and Pull shouldn't only be used in end of game situations...those are money plays inside the 10 yard line. Unstoppable. Come on Turk, surely you are more intelligent than that. Those numbers don't tell an accurate picture of the game. The Bills offense was out of sync for much of the game and Allen was often not sharp throwing the ball. The Bills offense should have dominated the Lions defense! This offense is simply making mistakes, out of sync, and the oline can't protect Allen. The defense struggled to stop the Lions offense. That was no surprise to me due to their offense and the Bills injuries. Any Bills fans is happy with the win but should absolutely be concerned at what they are seeing.

So imo the injuries were a wash. The Bills found a way to win, plain and simple. People can nit pick all they want but a win is a win sorry if that upsets you or anyone else. I'm ecstatic about the win but it comes with an asterisk. Von is out for how long and injuries have unfortunately made this team slightly above average.

I don't think anyone believes with the current injuries on the Bills that they would have a good shot at winning a title if the playoffs were to start next week. But they don't start next week and as far as we know we may have everyone back from injury by the playoffs, including Micah. That and Josh and Tre have another month and a half to get where they need to be. Most teams would not be able to continue to win games with the amount of injuries and quality of players lost that have plagued the Bills since week #2. Von's injury today marked the 4th time this year the defense has lost an All-Pro player. 23 full games lost by just All-Pros this year and at least 4 partials. Add to that countless games lost to other starters and important backups. Plus Josh's elbow injury, Tre being out longer than most thought, a tougher schedule than it appeared at the start of the season and it's a minor miracle we're sitting at 8-3. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight Hucklebuck Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Allen was methodical on the last TD drive, and rifled in that last throw to Diggs. It wasn’t the prettiest at times, but Allen was over 300 total yards and 3-TDs. His running started to tick up again and the Bills called some designed runs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WideNine Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 All I know is that Detroit is a scrappy team, playing at home, coming off a game where they kicked the Giants in the nads pretty good and my Bills pulled off the win. Allen clearly toughed his way through the game and defense came up with enough stops and a key safety while losing Von and having a secondary that has been struggling locking things down and getting off the field on 3rd down. Is there a lot that needs fixing - yes, but that was a gutsy win and I will take it. Kind of odd getting 2 Thursday games in a row, would have liked to have gotten a full week and a few days to get some of the walking wounded back in the lineup, but many of us felt the slight of the Bills rarely getting prime time games... that is not an issue this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norcalbillsfan Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Big win, wasn't the prettiest but that was the trap of all trap games, lions in their super bowl at home with momentum, bills banged up tired little practice on the road. Bills pull out an ugly but gutsy win against a really gutsy team. Other than the von injury, this was great game because I saw the fire in diggs and joshs eyes when bass put it through. This team will go nowhere without the swag/fire from Allen and Diggs. And I saw it at the end of the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 (edited) What a day and what a game! Tyler Bass is perfect on Field Goal Attempts in Detroit. Ed Oliver gave his all today. Josh Allen delivered when we needed him the most. That pass to Diggs was spectacular. That wasn't Sugar Josh or Super Josh, that was Clutch Josh! My stomach must have turned over 5 times today, but we won and that's what matters. Yes, the Lions are a poorly ranked defense, but they were at home and on a 3 game winning streak. There are almost no gimmes in this league. Hoping Von Miller will be alright, and really can't wait for Edmunds & Rousseau to come back. GO BILLS!!!

Mahomes and Allen are pretty close in total tds and total yards True but one glaring omission is the INTs Allen is throwing. Many are totally on him at critical moments in the red zone. Several of those INTs likely cost the bills wins. I believe Allen is leading the league in INTs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
