We did not deserve this win, but....

I'll take it.  I wish this team got back to playing the whole game like they do in the last 2 minutes of halves.  Detroit came to play and came on a mission.  Thank the football gods for the win....Happy Thanksgiving.

We have to give credit to the Bills.  They are fighting through injuries and a lot of adversities...For God's sake, they did not practice all of last week and flew in ***** weather to a different city, leaving their families behind in danger,  get a win, fly back and have ONE practice before flying in again.....facing a red hot team on a 3-game home winning streak....and they battled through the game....and WON!   Go Bills!

Exactly. If you win,you "deserve" to win. The only time that sentiment is appropriate might be if an official makes an egregious mistake that affects the outcome.

As long as we remain broken like this, a win is PLENTY GOOD ENOUGH.

 

I just ask that we figure this thing out and get it fixed PRIOR to the playoffs...or else we are going nowhere.

 

But until it gets fixed, finding a way to win ugly is perfectly OK.

I agree, but the tackling was pretty poor at times, and of course the Bass PAT miss, which is why I think some are saying we didn't "deserve" it.  But a win is a win.  Just continue to stack 'em and everything will work out in the end.

The offense does feel like it's getting things figured out more though.

I've never been a "fire the coordinator mid-season" kind of guy, and I'm not now. But there is still something going on here. Coming in to today, the Lions were the worst team in the NFL against the TEs. We had 2 total targets to our $14 million TE. I don't know who's at fault here, but this is kind of damning.

Why didnt we deserve it?  I dont get this attitude.  Two tough teams playing a tough game and the Bills made more plays than them.  That simple.

 I hate the “they deserved to lose that game” quote more than any other football cliché. Detroit deserved to lose bc they scored less points. Idc if Allen turned in over 6 times as long as he gets the W, it is well deserved. Awesome game and I am proud of the team. Blow outs are cool but it’s fun to see a good back & forth game coming down to the final drive. That’s what builds resilience. Those close 1 score games bc that’s most likely what they’ll be dealing w/ in the post-season more often than not.

Detroit is better than their record is.  This team is struggling with injuries and learning a new offense, because it isnt the exact same as Daboll's offense, and having a lack of real playmakers on offense.  

 

People think that other good teams blow everyone out every week.  Everyone jumps on how good KC is because they lose all game long but have a couple drives at the end of the game to pull it out and this happens a lot.  When the Bills do that we get threads like "Fire everyone, Bills arent a playoff team, Bills didnt deserve to win."  Amazing the hypocracy.

The better team won. 
 

not an ounce of hesitation saying that. 

the lions will talk about moral victories and boneheaded mistakes from their staff managing clock… we will continue to watch for home field advantage in the playoffs while they watch our team on tv.

 

Bills won.

The hell we didn't deserve it. We earned that win 100%. We stared down a good team and won it in the clutch.

Thank you. Road game against a tough team playing w desperation.  So glad we pulled it out.  Would’ve been a rough T-day otherwise. 


Great finish. And good victory

"I'll take it"?

 

What would happen if you didn't take it?

You have to be kidding. This game was won by a team that wanted it more. They get the ball with 27 seconds and Josh throws a 40 yard seed to Diggs. Then our QB runs it to makeable fg range and our kicker makes a pressure fg to win. We won this game without any help from the football gods .

For them to overcome all of the crap that's happened in the last week mentally, unexpected travel, injuries that continue to pile up in games and still come out with 2 wins in 5 days is pretty much all you could have asked from them. It doesn't matter how they look, they all count the same.

 

Like this isn't Madden where real life things don't matter. It matters a ton. As Romo said, they aren't robots.

 

They just looked tired today and I can understand why. But when they needed their big players to step up and make big plays, look what happened.

How many games did Bills lose like this in past years because we were someone else's stepping stone to get to playoffs. 

With all the injuries, weather, etc... this feels like a MLB 162 games season so far.  A marathon.

 

Remember end of season last year, playoffs included ( yes, I know, 13 seconds). 

Remember this year & last, 1st 2 games, no punts, stupid % on 3rd downs, 4th..

To almost quote Al Davis, Just get there baby!

We have a chance.

 

Oh! Happy Thanksgiving.

We didn’t?  That’s why they play 60 minutes. Anything can happen. I never agreed with the “we didn’t deserve to win” mantra.

Down Morse, Rousseau, and Edmunds and losing Von and Dawkins midgame on a short week on the road against a team on a 3 game win streak - I'll take a win any way we can get it.

I’ll admit I thought the sky was falling. Glad I was wrong. Happy thanksgiving everyone.

That pass to Diggs gave me hope we can get points with little time on the clock. That was about the only thing that made me feel good about the game. Run game was anemic, Josh wasn’t MVP Josh and the D struggled a bit. I’m so glad we pulled it out and showed we have the talent and coaching to get it done in the clutch.

The angst in the second half thread was ridiculous. The lions were at home, Thanksgiving, the bills have spent two weeks being jerked about, injuries, etc....

 

People talking about a lost season down by three.

 

I get knee jerk reactions, but some on this board are too bloody much.

I was there in my mind I have to admit. Please forgive this sinner.
