Was that an illegal block by Fitzpatrick?

The Lions are one big penalty machine so far.

Not too many chances for a win during the rest of the season...need to make the most of this one...

It's funny that was the first time they didn't score in the Red Zone all year.

Are you surprised by this? They're 0-8 for a reason.I'll grant that they've been playing a lot better these last 3 weeks, but they're still a 2-14ish team.

I haven't seen them play that much this year, and they have been playing better but man it's brutal watching them on offense. 4th and an inch and you lose 2 yards, ouch:spillerowner:

Its been an area of consistency all year; nice to see a devastating defeat last week won't jolt them into playing with any discipline going forward. 6 penalties in the first 11 minutes tells you something about the commitment to ineptitude that has long been a hallmark of the Lions.Passer ratings of 34.7 and 47.9 respectively so far. Nothing beats quality.

Any Buffalo people have a working feed for this? Atdhe just cut out on me right before the Bills TD.

Its plays like that that bring down Best's ypc. Hit 4 yards in the backfield...twice.

It's horrible playcalling is what it is. Throw some screens with him and teams won't be able to rush straight up field. Or run some tosses or something. Running Best up the guy is a coaching crime.
BobbyLayne
Footballguy
Yeah, but its not like he's had a ton of negative yardage plays this year. He surely leads the league in runs for zero or one yard.I'm shocked that people are still starting him even with the sweet matchup.

Hard to tell on Hill. Lions are trying to use exploit the run. Steve Johnson was targeted early in the red zone. He has been pretty quiet the last couple of drives.

I agree -- crazy that they've thrown him the ball only once.

Bills working hard to contain Jahvid Best right now....

Frankly, with his lack of playing time despite the high draft pick used on him, either Gailey or Nix deserves to be fired. Cause either the GM screwed up big time or the coach is screwing up big time.

I don't get why they keep running Best up the middle and Smith to the sides.

Spiller hurt - Fox says he walked to the locker room with a trainer.

Hill winces as he falls on his wrist. Looks okay though.
BobbyLayne

Seems to be the case. Last week we saw a couple of cutback runs and a couple passes where Best looked really good in open space.Smith has looked more effective the last 4 games regardless of the reason. Best is unstartable in ff.

Two coaches in this game who have no clue how to utilize their dynamic RBs. Also, Spiller has a hamstring injury and is done for the game.
How does ANYONE KNOW from a cursory glance at a replay? The rule exists to get the calls RIGHT. There's ZERO downside from the zebras deciding to look at it in the last 2 minutes.But it's the bills/lions, so no one wants to take 3 minutes to take a closer look and make SURE? BOOOOOOOOOO!!!They did get it right on the field

3rd and Goal from the 5 with 6 seconds left in the half. Lions throw a fade to CJ, ball is apparently picked by Leodis McKelvin. Refs rule it incomplete on the field - replay shows the ball clearly hitting the ground - it would've been a miraculous INT from McKelvin...really a poorly thrown ball from Hill. Bills call TO and hope the refs review it. They do not.Lions kick FG on 4th and Goal.
theplayer11
Footballguy
^ you mean the almost INT when the ball CLEARLY hit the ground?
McKelvin intercepted a Detroit pass in the end zone. Zebra on field calls it incomplete. Initial replay shows defender rolling over on the ground. NO BOOTH REVIEW called for despite Buffalo calling a timeout giving them ample time/excuses to go under the hood and take a look. Buffalo CAN'T challenge because it's in the last 2 minutes. Detroit kicks a FG.And people BET on these random events?
It was NOT clear, and there was NOTHING TO LOSE from looking at a VERY important play that the Bills can't challenge due to the rules trusting in the refs to GET IT RIGHT.CBS dumbed down coverage of loser game means limited camera angles, but that's an even bigger conspiracy theory story.

^sorry, but the ball clearly bounced off the ground...not sure what you were watching. No need to stop the game..it was obvious.

You know the guys upstairs determined it didn't need to be looked at because the call was correctMcKelvin intercepted a Detroit pass in the end zone. Zebra on field calls it incomplete. Initial replay shows defender rolling over on the ground. NO BOOTH REVIEW called for despite Buffalo calling a timeout giving them ample time/excuses to go under the hood and take a look. Buffalo CAN'T challenge because it's in the last 2 minutes. Detroit kicks a FG.And people BET on these random events?HINT: some of us are not watching the game

Bills go right down the field and Jackson takes a shovel pass in from 16 yards.

I believe they came into this game thinking Best would be able to run all over the Bills. They keep trying to make that come to fruition. The O-line and Best look very average. Bills are actually getting a very effective pass rush.
