NFL 2024: Season Discussion Thread NFL

[Birdman]

I am still trying to understand that onside kick decision. In the current version of the onside kick we are at less than a 5% chance of a successful onside kick so how does it make any sense at all in that situation

If they're at the 40 or in the redzone they can chew less time off the klock. If Allen puts together a 90-yard drive when you kick it deep that's Detroit down 18 with what, 6-7 minutes left? Because they aren't stopping him today at all.

If you recover it it's a huge momentum shift.

Not saying it's right but that's the only explanation I can think of.

Nervous for Buffalo here even though there are only 30 seconds left.

 

[Birdman]

Lions will need a recovery and a hail mary to win it.

1,081 combined yards.

This game has been insane.

 

[Steve]

The Bills hold on. Just. What a game.

I'd retake this as a Super Bowl match-up.

 

[Tom]

What a game last night. Delighted with the win but I fear that the Bills may come up short in the playoffs again.

Obviously, they have the offense and Josh Allen is playing at MVP levels but you can't keep shipping 30 or 40 points and expect your offense to keep bailing you out.

There is also a real chance that the Lions won't be the #1 seed in the NFC - that would be a massive blow to their Super Bowl hopes.

The Lions have a difficult schedule to end their season. They face the Bears and 49ers on the road before a potential divisional title game at Ford Field against the Vikings.

DL Alim McNeill has just been confirmed as out for the season with a torn ACL just a time when they really need some defensive pieces back.

More injury woes for the Lions after RB David Montgomery suffered torn MCL and could be out for rest of season.

 

[Tom]

Another important set of games this week that will give a clearer picture of who will be playing post season football.

 

[Birdman]

Will Anderson Jr could cause havoc against this Chiefs' offensive line.
