So much for defense another nfl flaw

The highest combined score coming into today was last week's Bills/Rams game. That combined score was eclipsed by today's Bills/Lions game.

I'm really hoping to see a Bills/Lions Superbowl in a few months, and for Josh Allen to finally receive the NFL MVP award that he deserves for this season's performance.....

Over 1,000 yards of total offense between the two teams, and interesting until the end.....

Yes, thank you Bills. My Vikes can get the #1 seed in the NFC if they win the rest of their games. But having to play Green Bay and Detroit to finish the regular season is going to be tough.

Josh Allan is well deserving of the mvp and I’d love to see them win it. I feel awful for a lions half the teams hurt. Now hoping for Vikings vs bills two great fanbases

I am still pulling for a Bills vs. Lions Superbowl matchup. The two teams and cities have a sorta weird football symmetry, the Lions never having a Superbowl appearance and the Bills never having won despite four consecutive appearances.

The owners back in the day had a friendship, with Bills founder/owner Ralph Wilson being a Detroit resident when he "threw away his money" on the AFL Buffalo Bills franchise. The Lions and Bills always seemed to play a game in the pre-season, and Detroit graciously offered their dome to the Bills to play an emergency "home" game a few years ago when Buffalo was buried under more snow than usual and the roads were closed for days.....

As a diehard Eagles fan, I'm hoping for an Eagles/Bills Superbowl, but it is nice having teams at the top that you don't completely hate. The Bills are my 2nd favorite team. I can like and respect the Lions fans for their similar levels of sports hardship to Philly and would support them if they knock off the Eagles in the NFC Championship. Even Minnesota has nothing that makes you actively root against them the way you do the Cowboys, 49ers, Giants, etc.

Is it bad that I get almost as much joy watching the cowboys, 9ers and giants collapse this season as I do watching the birds tear up Pittsburgh, Baltimore and the Rams?

I would also be fine with Eagles/Bills, since Buffalo met everyone in the NFC East in the Superbowl...except Philly. Might as well collect the whole set.....

[JMcLellan]

My first pick for NFC team to make the superbowl is my Vikes. 2nd pick would be the Lions. I respect what they have been building and they seem to just want it more than most other teams.

For the AFC Bills or Ravens. Im sick of the Chiefs but I guess it would be cool to see a team hit the three peat.

[vreihen16]

Philly lost a close one with the concussion to Jalen Hurts. Meanwhile, as no surprise to anyone outside of DFW, the Cowboys have been mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.....

If Lions don't win SB this year and lose both their amazing coordinators as head coaches elsewhere, what happens to them? The window closes very quickly. All these injuries have happened at the worst time, just before playoffs. NFC became much more interesting in the last 2 weeks.

After watching the nfl this season I am starting to enjoy college ball more unless it’s the playoffs, maybe being a Giant fan has something to do w it

I suspect that the Giants would lose to many college teams this season, as well as a few Rutherford, NJ Pop Warner league teams.

It's interesting how college football isn't a huge thing in our area, despite living a few towns away from West Point and Army football.....

That’s cold man and sad as well. I never expected things to be this bad for this long. Time for another rebuild w a new GM. College ball isn’t real popular in the tri state it’s a pro sports area but the college games are just more fun to watch.

As a Bills fan who generally dislikes the Giants because of XXV, I really feel sad for their fans that our former prized coordinator Dabol has screwed them over as bad as he has.....

And Dabol was Coach of the Year what, 2 years ago? Now he's gonna get trashed along with the GM. Strange how certain teams have "traditions" at positions. Giants always seem to have a really good D line. When's the last time they had a really good O line? Seems they've always been struggling there.

Will those coordinators have success as a head coach and are likely going to teams that need a rebuild? I guess if you have a shot to coach an NFL team you go for it but most of these top coordinators are at their best as a coordinator not a head coach. If it was about winning they would stick with Detroit and keep the momentum going.

Now as a Vikes fan the coordinators can leave and Detroit can regress.

Speaking of the Giants, I couldn't believe my eyes watching the score ticker during the Bills/Jests game to see them put up 45 points bursting the Colts' playoff hope bubble. Something for the Giants fans to cheer for in this bleak season for their team.

I was also impressed with Tyrod Taylor's QB performance off the bench for the Jets in garbage time, putting up two touchdowns and a two point conversion to save the team from being shut out by the Bills. It was also interesting to see Aaron Rodgers get flagged for 15 yards for a late hit against the Bills player who just picked him off, showing that he wasn't a quitter even though he didn't score any points in three frustrating quarters that included him taking a safety.....

It’s not Daboll as much as Schoenberg, he dumped our 5 best players and gave Jones 40 mil per year total moron

We have not had a good oline in 10 years due to multiple bad general managers. The team needs new leadership desperately that can pick good players

How can the Vikes or Lions end the season 13/14 wins and play the entire post season on the road???
