Josh Allen Goes SUPERHUMAN in Thriller vs Lions | Lions vs Bills Recap

[@jstdr4774]

Josh is the mvp. No one else is close. Just give it to him.

[@dragondrew2000]

Bills made the least amount of mistakes and had the ball go their way a few times. Lions will bounce back.

[@hairpunut]

Yeah and the lions got a lot of free phantom calls earlier in the game. Three penalties that stopped drives that would've been TDs. Phantom holding calls etc. It was bad, the only one that even made sense was the last call later in the game for grounding. Other then that no. Lions got away with a ton of no call flags

[@orphy6869]

It was a great game, hopefully both teams can get their defenses healthy and we can run this game back in a couple of weeks

[@WhydoIsuddenlyhaveahandle]

After Lamar's MVP award last year, he should never win one again. He wasn't even top 5 in many categories. It was an absolute mockery of the MVP award. He was gifted the MVP for intersectional political reasons, evidenced by the fact the only Josh Allen voter was called a racist. It is a shame too because Lamar is legit a great player, so now his success is looked at side eyed.

[@Harpazoed]

Josh Allen played great. My Lions however never established the running game and we lost more players from injuries ( damn it ). Just when I thought we were getting healthy we lost at least 2 more of our best players.

[@PassMyBeretta]

Our injuries are really frightening right now. It has me worried for the long term run into the playoffs.

[@SmashPhysical]

Bills defense did a great job of taking away the Lions run game and making them one dimensional on offense, and yet the Lions still managed to score 42 points. Even with their defensive injuries (Bills have had plenty of those this season too), they are still the best team in the NFC. Josh Allen, meanwhile is the clear choice for MVP right now. Superman. The NFL, meanwhile, should be embarrassed at the rules surrounding the kickoff and onside kickoff. Both plays are now complete failures and have been effectively removed as any kind of difference makers. Disgraceful.

[@bubblegut148]

Allen is a beast. coming from a lions fan

[@kennyjames4679]

Dude I totally agree, they might as well just remove kickoffs if they keep it like this, completely pointless.

[@nickhartmann8836]

First quarter slow start was the difference in this game. As a life long lions fan this season has been everything I’ve ever wanted… for these injuries to keep piling up on defense really is a kick in the balls. It feels like it’s getting to a point where it’s too much to overcome. This offense is still elite but seems like we are going to need to score 30+ to even have a chance at winning right now.

[@Darkwater0916]

Great game by both teams. I’m reading a lot in the comments about the ball bounces the Bills way and the Lions’ defensive injuries, but the Lions had no answer for Josh Allen. They could not stop him.

[@Sasquatch8055]

Cause they have 19 players on IR...imagine having that many out on your team and grabbing dudes off the streets....Lions are cooked.

[@HaLabra]

I’m a Lions fan and I agree with you, we had no answer for him. Maybe without the fumble game could’ve been closer? Either way bills were clearly better prepared for this game. If we can’t win the Super Bowl I’m rooting for the bills.

[@101less]

Could be, but plenty thought the Lion's were toast when Hutchison went out, and then when we played GB the second time due to injuries. It might be a tough path, but I'm holding out hope that this is still THE season for the Lions and their fans.

Bills has 3 out of 4 members of secondary out. Important to mention unless you guys missed it.

[@jcharles8801]

Lions have everyone BUT 3 of 4 secondary out.

[@TheOnlyHatchet101]

Funny that Allen had 1/3 of Buffalo’s Rush yards, and Goff had 1/3 of Lion’s Rush yards. The 200 to 50 difference seemed to matter, while JA with 28 yards average per completion might have overshadowed Goff’s 13. Mighty white of the Ref’s giving a true home field advantage too. It kept it more interesting.

[@EddieDubs]

Let's be fair with the injuries: The Bills entire secondary was out for this game and they lost Milano and Bishop in the third.

[@kennyjames4679]

Yes, the bills best defensive player Milano was playing crippled then went out, their entire secondary was injured, hence the pass fest, so both defenses were crippled, bottom line is this was a QB duel between Allen and Goff and Allen won. Both teams had some good play by their RBs, mostly in the passing game. It was a great game though, wouldn't mind seeing a rematch...

Best part about the skipper TD is now the books are going to have to start offering odds on him lol

[@junyajax]

I don't blame campbell. In that game they had a 0% rate of stopping the bills literally not figuratively, add an onside kick is at least 7% probability.

[@RageDaug]

It wasn't "A" stop. The Bills, even with their depleted secondary, stopped Goff and the #1 offense Rams on 4 of their first 7 possessions. Punt x3 and a fumble. There was also a missed FG, so the Rams only scored twice in their first 7 possessions. The reason for the Rams high scoring game is because the Bills were up by 3 scores late in the 3rd and lost some backups, so now 3rd string backups to the backups were playing in the secondary and linebackers, so the Bills played a soft prevent defense, which allowed Goff to tally up the yards and points, while stopping them from getting enough points to win.

[@righteousisthelord180]

Lions fan here. The injuries are out of control. Is there something off with our conditioning or what? Take away the freak bone breaks (3 now) but no other team has this many players going down. There has to be something other than it’s a violent game.

[@WhydoIsuddenlyhaveahandle]

Yes, Lamar had a great game earlier. No doubt. However, considering he won the mvp last year, not even being a top 5 QB last year over the guy who led the league in yards and touchdowns with the lowest EPA lost to turnovers, i have zero place for him being considered this year

[@johnduran3762]

Like to remind you that the Bills had 2 starting safeties out and one starting CB out this game. The Bills defense held the Lions offense to 14 points with 2 minutes remaining in the 3rd quarter.

[@wufluboogaloo180]

[@sal4856]

Allen better than Mahomes

[@robotom6595]

I already know the sports media talk is gonna hound Campbell for the on side kick early into the 4th, but what was he supposed to do is my feelings on it. Give the ball back to Josh Allen to probably march it down and score again? Buring clock time while doing it? Defense wasn't coming up with the stops, and they were likely going to have to attempt it later in the game anyways so why not just go for it now when the other team isn't quite ready.

[@russellscott6359]

Or maybe their plan was to kick the second onside kick was planned to go in a different direction which would catch them by surprise

[@WhydoIsuddenlyhaveahandle]

Can we stop saying going for it on 4th and 2 is "aggressive" when it is the safest thing you can do regardless of field position?. You increase your chances to win by doing this. This makes it the "safe" and "conservative" decision. Punting is the "risky" play since it reduces your chances.

Bills left points on the board - got down to the 2 and didn’t have Allen punch it in, they miss a FG. Then the chest pass TD comes back for holding and they settle for a FG. If those 2 plays happen the Bills score 60 and Allen gets 3 running and 3 passing TDs in back to back games

This injury narrative is BS. The Bills entire secondary was injured along with backups, their best player Milano was playing crippled then got injured. Both defenses were crippled. This was a QB duel between Allen and Goff and Allen won. Both of these teams are elite and very similar but stop with the one team was more injured than the other, plus the lions were playing at home. The Bills won because they were better last night. Hopefully there will be a rematch.

@kennyjames4679 15 players on IR and multiple starters ruled out with season ending injuries and then 3 more in this game is a "BS narrative" to you. Dude your team won. Take the W.

Lamar is MV3. 4th best passer rating in history AND best td-int for QB over 30 td EVER. It IS over, Lamar has LOCKED IT UP and THROWN AWAY THE KEY. He beat Allen 35-10, mind you, and is carrying a 32nd pass-D and 32nd secondary. Allen is 2-3 against winning record teams. Lamar is 5-3. You guys are CRAZY WORK. Lamar is a historic season, Allen is a great season but not the same level.

[@keithlowery9708]

The Ravens are not in 1st or 2nd place though so.... Not this year

[@nolanscripture]

Don't forget the two MVPs Lamar did win were due to narrative and being the starting QB on either the best or one of the best teams in the league. Those two factors matter more than who had the best statistical season. And even then, the Bills have the Patriots twice and the Jets at home to end the season so Allen may end up with better stats at the end anyway.

[@DustinHaning]

I'm honestly just tired of hearing how great and ballsy Dan Campbell is because he takes huge and unnecessary risks. Glad it finally backfired when he had to face a good team. That onside kick with 12 minutes left was monumentally stupid. Even if you don't think your defense can stop Allen, onside kicks have a success rate of like 2% with the current rules. You have way better odds getting a pick or forcing a fumble on defense. Even just kicking a long pooch kick to force a return attempt would have given them a chance to force a fumble without giving them such good field position. Just such a dumb call with that much time left.

[@Rob_G716]

Oh stop it, Buffalo dominated the Lions from the start. They never once tied or held the lead. They were controlling the game by 2-3 scores nearly all game. Lions scored a garbage time TD in prevent defense. The Bills are the best team in the AFC
