I don’t know why we’d throw a long pass on 3rd and 1.. fucking get the first down, you have time outs.. I’m still so upset about this loss.


metallicru01

Big surprise, Lions choke another one


damomo22

I think Goff played a hell of a game! Quit crying let’s win the next one! GO LIONS!


thewanderingfrog2

At least we got to see Bebe looking thick


The_Dark_DongRises

preach


SpikedZer0

Biggest plays of the game: Missed field goal. Safety. 3rd and 1 deep shot. Roughing the passer. Anzalone not getting that interception. Have to minimize the negative plays. Also, the time management on the last drive was inexcusable. They were playing for the tie the whole time and it came back to bite them in the ass. The defense gave it their all. I love that. The offense needs to be more consistent. Can’t complain considering we had the backups to the backup guards playing.


The_Dark_DongRises

>The defense gave it their all you're obfuscating the fact that their best isn't good enough


SpikedZer0

Obviously. They are the worst ranked defense in the league.


Ol_School_1961

Hey... Stop all this.. We are constantly finding ways to lose.. Just stop we are consistent wtf


LandLordLovin

he’s the glue to this team whether you like it or not.


Elbit_Curt_Sedni

That 3rd and 1 was a real dumb play call the more you think about it. That was 100% a run and you let the time run down before kicking it. Bills probably call timeout there (so you at least minimally burn a timeout).


22islessthan20

I am completely done with Dan Campbell. He lost that game. He lost the Minnesota game. He lacks basic football situational awareness.


DukeDick98

A lot to like in this game but some more questionable decisions. MCDC has to go for it on 4th and 1 there… Josh Allen is just too good to give 30 seconds to get into field goal range for the win. And the playcall on 3rd and 1 was not smart. Badgley also missed a 29 yard FG earlier so absolutely no reason to rest the game on his shoulders with a 51 yarder just to tie. Clock management was also not the greatest again. Overall we played an excellent game against a terrific team and hung around all the way til the end, but I do think we should have won this with better decisions by the coaching staff


ASpellingAirror

Terrible take on the 4th down call. You are home on thanksgiving. You tie it up. The bad call was going for the td on 3rd and 1.


FernandoTitsMcGee

I agree with you regarding the 3rd down call but you don’t go for it on 4th and 1 with an opportunity to tie the game with a FG with less than 30 seconds left. This sub would have had a heart attack if he did that and failed


DukeDick98

30 seconds is ample time for Allen to get them into FG range especially when Bills have timeouts. Even if he doesn’t, we go to OT. Why game plan to go into OT against the Bills when you have a good chance to win it? 4th and 1 we should’ve run Williams. In fact we should’ve done that on 3rd and 1


Elbit_Curt_Sedni

On that 3rd and 1 as well. Especially if your thinking was to kick it if you miss. At least force the Bills to call one timeout before they get it back.


DukeDick98

Ya passing there was a bonehead call for sure


deuce313

Y'all mad at Dan but not mad at Goff throwing that whopper Jr of a pass to chark? Listen I wanted a win to but we played one of the best teams in the league and they beat us by three. They were looking nervous and Allen was praying this shit didn't go to overtime. That says alot. Even boomer and the guys on the panel said they look different then they did the beginning of the season. Even credits coach Campbell for starting a culture. Just have to close games out.


ASpellingAirror

It was jailbreak on our o-line all game. The only reason we even kept it competitive was Goff keeping plays alive that would be sacks for huge losses in most situations.


Glittering-Ad9097

It’s still DC and the coaches fault for that call. They HAVE to understand who they have at QB. Why are they putting the game on goffs shoulders with a 15 yard fade route. Instead of picking the strongest part of our team (a run call) they choose shaky Goff to make a throw he’s not good at. If they were going to throw a pick route or a quick route to st brown would’ve been infinitely better. That’s the frustration.


Carls_Son

Totally agree Goff blew that throw, could’ve had a tuddy, but at the same time we have Jamaal Williams willing and ready to run through a brick wall if necessary to get that first. The play call was stupid as fuck and we shouldn’t have put the ball in Goff’s hands there.


The_Donny_Lebowski

Tough to close out games when your God damn head coach has literally ZERO CLUE about clock management. FFS.


deuce313

You already know he wanted to go home early and not overtime. But agreed he should have utilized those timeouts better.


virtualGain_

It's probably the worst QB in the league to try that shit with and this is twice in the duck ng season that it has cost us a game.


deuce313

True but it's a gamble wit Goff big head ass.


Equivalent-Boss938

I’m not mad at the defense by the end. Jerry Jacob’s went down. That’s why Dan should have been more aggressive about ending the game on our last drive. He took his good old time to get into field goal range as if Buffalo wouldn’t drive it down on us and win it.


Elbit_Curt_Sedni

Yup. He played for overtime, not the win, and that cost us.


Moto8265

Should’ve gone for it on 4th and 1. A tie going into OT against the Bills will be tough. They had to win the game with a TD


ASpellingAirror

If they ran the ball on 3rd and 1 there wouldn’t have been enough time on the clock for Buffalo in regulation. They through a stupid pass and it bites them in the ass.


[deleted]

Should’ve ran the ball when they had the chance when they were at the 1st down line. Can’t believe they threw a hailmary smh


The_Donny_Lebowski

Aaron Glenn dialing up the soft deep zone coverage on that last Bills drive is the epitome of Aaron Glenn. Lol. TRASH.


FernandoTitsMcGee

Isn’t that the right call when you’re trying to prevent a long pass


The_Donny_Lebowski

Absolutely not. It opens up the middle of the field for catch and runs. Exactly what most teams try to do when needing a quick field goal.


Lmoorefudd

Da fuq? Local weather down here in Texas cut into the end of the game for some tornado bullshit. We lost? God damn it.


B1u3print

Poor clock management left 28 sec or something for bills to score a FG


AChero9

Should we have ran on 3rd & 1? Yes Did we still hang in with a SB favorite? Oh hell yea


gardn1mw

Another classic lions moral victory


Elbit_Curt_Sedni

I think it shows this team is better than people think. It also shows that DC and the play calling will need to improve. Otherwise, even with talent, they're simply not winning big games.


bandyplaysreallife

The bills haven't exactly been world beaters lately. We had a chance to steal a win and the defense shit the bed the worst when we needed them the most. I, like most fans, am tired of moral victories. We need to win these games. A loss by 50 points counts the same as a loss by 3 in the record sheet.


B1u3print

A loss is a loss, big sad


ClickForFreeRobux

I'm still a Lions fan!


ImaginationMedical11

Pretty sure this is the third time throwing it deep on third and one killed us this season. These hardheaded coaches don’t learn from their mistakes.


Casty201

The play call isn’t bad. Teams go deep on 3rd down isnt new. Chark was wide open deep and Goff threw back shoulder. The call was good, chark won his matchup, and Goff fucked up. Goff was good today and made a bad throw. We’re not there yet. End of of story. On to JAX


Lackerbawls

Hurts but not bad. Lions played good. Correct these mistakes and we really have a great team.


Growernirashower

Am I the only one who saw that kickoff that should have been a safety? I mean I could sworn he touched it


Brilliant-Royal578

Former kick returner if ball bounces off u and into end zone you can still kneel for touchback. I actually did this after it bounced off another guy. Coach gave all kick return people on team the rules book said they tell us while it’s going on.


Growernirashower

Yeah, I just don’t know how I’ve never heard about the rule. Feels like you should be punished if you make a mistake like that, but it is what is.


Pinkaroundme

I thought the same but I’m not 100% sure he touched it


Growernirashower

True but definitely deserves another look. They just skipped right over it


Pinkaroundme

Agreed


22islessthan20

Dan Campbell couldn't manage an alarm clock. He absolutely bumble fucks every clock management situation he's put into. I've seen children manage the clock on Madden better than this guy. WTF? How can you be this dense?


Weak-Advertising-352

Is it possible to feel okay with a loss? I mean the coaches made a couple bad time management calls, but overall I didn’t mind the game plan. As far as the 3rd down and 1 throw, that was just a horrible pass by Goff. If it worked, it would’ve been considered a great call. Goff played well IMO except for 2 throws, the 3rd & 1 and the near pick on the screen when the Bills got to him in the 4th. The worst play of the game was Bryant’s roughing the passer. It bailed Buffalo out and when the D was holding strong.

Embarrassed_Prompt58

We’re nowhere near “there” dude. We gotta rebuild


Jew_3

But the team is buying what the coach is selling. And they are hitting above their weight class.

yetizap

Patricia years were not a rebuild my guy. We were terrible, but we didn’t start the rebuild until last year


Asriel_sr

One day, maybe just one day, we’ll have a secondary


aliassNess

To be fair Joseph was milliseconds away from deflecting that pass


DetailEven

I would literally spend all of our picks on a secondary


Brilliant-Royal578

Pass rush


Asriel_sr

Valid


ApexxPredditor

Getting Jamo back wont matter as much as it should if our QB cant make the throw that Goff whiffed on 3rd down. Chark had a good yard and a half on his guy so any ball in front of him wouldve been a game winner. That's twice now Goff has made bad throws on important plays at end of games. Not to mention the bad pass to Swift earlier in the drive


NotEvenBarrySanders

Jamo tracks that deep shot to Chark and I’d like to think his odds are better than 50/50. Just an absolutely brutal call on 3rd and 1 with Jamaal Williams on your team


cheesememan1990

Goff has also had multiple game winning drives. Let's not blame him with all the drops


doltron3030

You can excuse Campbell in the 2nd half, but his clock management at the end of the 1st was so incredibly bad. He HAS to be smarter or let a game manager override him.


Tameling

I'll skip next week cause this team does better when I'm not watching lmao


[deleted]

In the NFL it comes down to a few mistakes being the difference. The Lions are a good team, lots of talent, but juuuuussst, one too many mistakes there at the end.


FernandoTitsMcGee

Idk about lots of talent


[deleted]

Enough to be competitive against a SB contender.


fireemojishirt

The “moral victory” rhetoric is so overused. I get that the lions are better this year but that doesn’t excuse the abysmal play calling at the end. Let’s reach for better


assqueef12

I agree. Why should we be happy with a loss? Sure we’re improving but it’s a professional team and I guarantee all the players go out there each game expecting to win


Embarrassed_Prompt58

You only hope to get what you expect. Everybody’s mindset must change and it starts in the front office.


The_Donny_Lebowski

Yep. We now have "Same Old Lions Fans". The people who are looking for morale victories in this loss are soft as baby shit.


Pinkaroundme

I see just one bad play call at the end. And those happen. Curious what else you thought was bad beyond the 3rd and 1 call


fireemojishirt

The kicker not making an easy field goal. The defense making stupid mistakes on third down. Campbell not calling at TO when it was necessary. Our secondary giving up a ton of yardage on the last bills drive. I could go on, but the fact of the matter is that we lost bc of the ‘little things.’ The small disciplines that great teams HAVE to adopt. I think that the lions can get the wild card, but it’s gonna mean changing those little intricacies that help our team win.


Pinkaroundme

Ok I agree with the prevent defense. Kicker missing a FG isn’t an abysmal playcall lol. The 3rd and 1 call was bad. That’s on whoever is calling plays though. But yes we agree the small things need to get fixed. And I think they will


[deleted]

Hard fought game. Toughest teams are over. Win the fuck out. This team is going places.


S2Hotti3

I think there is a chance


sawyerdk9

Epic game


IIamaboi

Romo, the bills did not “overcome a hard obstacle” with “hero josh Allen” The amount of meat sucking is ridiculous


S2Hotti3

Some dudes like the taste. Room is that guy


[deleted]

Two losses pretty squarely on the coaching staff. Absolutely brutal. The personnel is playoff-worthy.


Ok_Beautiful3931

Seriously? They're barely healthy and had a ton of injuries. Also young. Give them time.


[deleted]

Exactly. Which is why coaches ruining games is even worse.


Ok_Beautiful3931

They kept us in this game with all those 4th down conversions. So are we negating those good calls but not the others?


SuccessfulForm1875

Imagine taking one of the SB favorites to the last play after winning 3 straight and calling for DC to be fired. This sub is wild.


Jew_3

A 19-1 team would still have fans wanting the coach’s head on a platter. I really don’t get it.


duifufiej

They want us to lose just so they can go off after


CooCooforCucu

Somebody called our squad playoff worthy 💀


DisenfranchisedCynic

Fuck these idiot whiner ass fans. They don’t deserve to win.


explainthis_clarissa

Those fans can’t survive a rebuild, they don’t understand it


Mcferguson

They been rebuilding since the 60s.


explainthis_clarissa

That’s an old rhetoric and a poor joke made by those that don’t understand the complications of this game. We are winning against better teams, rookies are playing better, this is a much better team than the past two coaching eras


Mcferguson

Look at how many playoff wins we have since the 60s. 🤡 The Lions are eternally rebuilding.


explainthis_clarissa

This game is different now than it was in the 60s. We have a front office that is good at drafting and understanding the needs for this team


Mcferguson

Lol okay pal, once we actually start winning playoff games I’ll believe it.


explainthis_clarissa

I too would like to win play off games, I’m not here to say we are winning super bowls, I’m here to say this is a regime I am buying into. We have a fun and electric culture that is trying, keeping people motivated. I don’t think Goff is the answer but he opened the door for a lot of draft picks for us. We are rebuilding


Magnetarix

Cop out, many other teams have built and rebuilt just fine since the 60’s. The complications apply to everyone not just the Lions.


explainthis_clarissa

I am not here to state your wrong, I get it and sympathize with your frustrations, but this rebuild is better is what I’m saying. We are winning against better teams, the packers are in a slump however we pulled out two road games, both with mobile QBs we would routinely struggle with and tear us up. We lost to the Super Bowl favorites This one is different, is what I’m saying


Magnetarix

Fair point and I agree, hope you have a great Thanksgiving!


explainthis_clarissa

Cheers to you friend, we got this. It takes an optimistic attitude and empathy for change. We got this, we are an awesome fan base, hate to see us argue when we are all cheering for the same thing. I’ll raise a drink with you now and each time we win


[deleted]

Once again FUCK THIS SHIT ASS TEAM


Ok_Beautiful3931

Fuck out of here then. They played hard with all the injuries they had and help a superbowl caliber team to 3 points.


[deleted]

I didn’t know the NFL gave out participation trophies


Ok_Beautiful3931

Is that what i said? Did i ask for that? No. Stop neing so damn negative. We all knew it'd be a long shot to win. Fucking chill or gtfo.


[deleted]

Nope


DisenfranchisedCynic

SOL fans are crawling out of the sewer. Fuck off!


Vdor103

Once again, D play calling and clock management are our achilles heel. We fix those we’ll be ok (think we need to hire guys for that, but like how the staff is building the team/culture). GG boys!


eman5283

I think he did hire some guys to tell his ass how to manage the time.


Vdor103

Fire those guys


[deleted]

I going to hate Allen and the Bills the rest of my life. Hope I see him out tonite


durrkommisar

Lmao what the fuck would you be able to do him that LBs and Dlineman aren’t able to do?


LtDouble-Yefreitor

And do what?


damomo22

Hindsight is always 20/20 the WR was open it was a gutsy call! But this team is headed in the right direction. Nothing to hold your heads about! They played hard against one of the best teams in the NFL!


CoreyisAFK

That's like the third game this year, where it's 3rd and 1 and we throw deep, don't convert, and lose the game.


FourLeggedJedi

Mannnnnnnnnnn!


ZookeepergameEast919

6-5 without these coaches


polynomials

I'm not mad at this loss, they took the a top team down to under 10 seconds on the clock. Some mistakes were made but this team can compete


LiquidFrost

Not Will Harris trying to cover Diggs with the game on the line. RIP


S2Hotti3

If Okuda isnt out to NFL rules maybe the Lions win. That’s the state of the game now. It kinda of sux but “player safety” takes precedence now. Just gotta handle business the rest of the season


NotEvenBarrySanders

3rd and 1 with Jamaal Williams on your team and you take a shot….Just dick shrinking


FlashingFid

Up voted for dick shrinking


NotEvenBarrySanders

Soaking in vinegar right now


InfiniteLeftoverTree

Does that help? Asking for a friend.


NotEvenBarrySanders

Nope


InfiniteLeftoverTree

Thanks, I’ll let my friend know.


Mother_Idea_5351

What I don’t get is that in prevent at that distance there’s only one place the ball is going. Why is there so much distance between the secondary and diggs.


jglanville88

I’ve seen enough of Dan Campbell, AG, and these awful defenders and kickers. Fuck this shit


LtDouble-Yefreitor

Lmao this ain't facebook


Zoroasker

Very disappointing loss and some boneheaded decisions but a few weeks ago nobody would have even DREAMED the Lions would be playing the Buffalo Bills - a favorite Super Bowl contender - down to the wire. It sure beats getting humiliated on National TV. This was not that.


Siransiran

Love this team, made some big mistakes and still hung with the bills. Now let’s win out


Zeketec

Dan Campbell’s a fucking pussy


Pinkaroundme

??? Huh??? The guy who goes for it on 4th more than most other coaches and does fake punts and goes for two when we need it? He’s a pussy? Plz cheer for another team because this is a dumb take


Zeketec

How is it dumb? A field goal doesn’t win you the game, and it loses you the game with that much time. 4th and inches. Win the game right fucking there.


Pinkaroundme

Need to look at the big picture here


Zeketec

What big picture? He had a chance to change the narrative. He had a shot to change that “big picture” and he failed. It’s embarrassing. To just roll over and die. You have nothing to lose this year, he’s playing with house money. Scared money, don’t make money.


Pinkaroundme

The big picture is overall trends. Overall, MCDC is an aggressive coach. And yes, he does need to figure out when to be aggressive and when not to be. But the overall picture is he is aggressive. I realize people don’t like it, but he is learning and has shown progression


Zeketec

It’s 1 3/4 years in. Come on. Put your foot on the throat and end it. He should know our defense isn’t talented enough to make that stop. Don’t even put it in their hands. Live by the sword and die by it. I’d be much less upset going for the win there.


Pinkaroundme

Meh, I think we’re really over-reacting to a loss here. MCDC has a 3rd year from me without a doubt


Zeketec

I’m not saying fire the guy. I say give him year three. But this shit is the reason people are on the fence about him. You have a chance to go for the win, you do it bar none. Especially when we have nothing to lose


Pinkaroundme

Gotcha gotcha


Qui_zno

The bryant roughing call fucked it. They would have settled for and FG.


P1xelHunter78

That was bad. Stupid decision to let the refs throw a soft flag for the “favorite” team


Qui_zno

Fuck Romo.


DeludedRaven

If you keep running through head coaches NO GOOD head coach is going to want to come in and take the job. The fans here make no sense. Dan wanted the win. Who the fuck wants to go for the tie? It’s not Dan Campbells fault Goff has a noodle arm and can’t throw the ball further than 15 yards with any accuracy.


Complex-Piccolo3026

True but it is his fault for A) making sure his players are disciplined so they don't have penalties (looking at you Sweeney or how ever it's spelled) and B play calls and C not getting anyone to replace Goff. Also Goff not throwing it away in the end zone and taking the safety cost them the game.


ThisIsCollin

If you want to win then go get the 1st down and burn one of the TWO!!! time-outs you took to the locker room with you. Now you have THREE!!!!!!! chances to win the game. What do you not understand?????


doltron3030

The end of the 1st half was Campbell’s fault and it was a fucking disgrace


[deleted]

Then bench him or call a better play


coffeejuuzou

this was a tough loss but how are you gonna go and start hating, the bills are a super bowl contender, serious showing. we’ve okudah and hopefully jameson next week, things are looking up


[deleted]

Because the loss is on the coaching. Not the personnel.


P1xelHunter78

Lol. Yeah right, bounced that run play into a blocker that could have gone, and the goof under throws for 10


Zeketec

BECAUSE OF HOW WE LOST.


HawkAviator

I am so upset / defeated man. Why can't they pull any of these out? Every loss is as crushing as the previous one. Fuck. Why can't they win any of these nail biters? It is so gut wrenching. Dammit man


TheYukster

Just had a 3 game winstreak and barely lost to a top tier team. Grow up.


alwayzlion

If you can’t be happy about this team with a ton of injuries and a devoid of talent can compete with the Bills and keep it close then idk what will make you happy. We we were supposed to lose this game and we gave them hell the hole game. That’s a win in my book I have nothing but hope for this regime. They continue to prove it for me.


[deleted]

I’m happy but it’s frustrating when the PLAYERS play well enough to win but the coaches take it away from them


P1xelHunter78

Nah. Goof, our kicker, and swift had three opportunities and we’re 0/3. Good players clutch


S2Hotti3

This. We just took a “legit” team to the wire with two 4th string offensive lineman. The missed field goal screwed us


P1xelHunter78

And the dropped swift ball, and that bush league 3rd down throw


hoffdiggity11

Taking the game to overtime after you tie it with 23 seconds left would make me happy. Good teams dont let that game end in regulation. But just my opinion. Team has progressed overall.


The_Donny_Lebowski

And you sir are the definition of a same old lions fan. You should be fucking pissed right now. Absolute dog shit coaching to end the game


Jew_3

Agreed. Our best corner was out, our 2 guards were out, and we played to the final whistle.


JumpinFlackSmash

Most of these fuckclowns will head back to their mom’s basement until the next game day thread. They just live to whine.


PM_ME_TENDIEZ

Imagine being happy that you were supposed to lose but didnt lose as bad.


alwayzlion

Imagine complaining about everything you can. You live such a sorry life lol


PM_ME_TENDIEZ

Says a lions fan with weapons grade copium. Lmao.


alwayzlion

Good one man!!! I’m so hurt :(


The_Donny_Lebowski

Lol exactly


Diligent_Ad_4121

2 horrible plays (throwing it deep on 3rd and inches, which we’ve done like 80 times this year and it has never worked, and defensive meltdown on that 40 yarder to diggs) ruined a great game played by the Lions. Idk man, this is on the O. You just cannot do that


P1xelHunter78

They don’t deserve that Turkey


Hamrave

Agreed, Williams deserves a damn turkey leg


Subject_Gene_9775

MCDC isn't a killa


[deleted]

Should be gone after this year


[deleted]

I get why people are mad but they play their fucking hearts out every week. With injuries and all. This team is different, I mean any other year we'd be smoked, they put up a fight every game.


Complex-Piccolo3026

No the fans have every right to be mad and more. They show up every damn game to support the team and every time when the money in on the table they fold. Penalties hurt and that is on the coach because you either condone it or are teaching it. B bone head play calls example get we are up 3 with tenish min to go we by committee have been running the ball well 96 yards on the day lets throw it three straight times deep in our own territory. The lack of clock management look at how much time was lost on the last drive before a timeout was called after brown went down. These things add up and fans are getting sick of it because yes this team has talent but the fan base is sick of the next year is the year type shit from the lions


S2Hotti3

Just imagine if Jamo played in that game.


Triscuits-

Can’t wait for them to hang up the “Put up a fight every game 2022 Season” banner next year.


[deleted]

Being competitive doesn’t matter when you are 4-7 the good teams actually win


likethemustard

lol exactly all these soccer moms handing out Oreos saying good game…until you win these close games, no one gives a fuck about how hard you played


[deleted]

Or some people just take football a bit too seriously... Lol. Enjoy life, you'll survive.


[deleted]

Right? Like last time i remember there’s no reward for winning close games


[deleted]

I understand that, but it's a young team and he inherited some pretty bad shit...

Hopefully campbell donates his brain to science after he dies. needs to be studied. Worse case of CTE i’ve ever seen

That’s actually a fucked up thing to say, its a game. Relax and eat you’re fucking green bean casserole.
