How did the Bills dominate the Lions in Thursday Night Football?
Green machine reset to the right. Deep drop. Pump fake. Going deep. Wide open. Touchdown, Joshua Palmer.
There he is, Sir Al Michaels, with the call. Amazon.com. And that is how you open a building, ladies and gentlemen. The Buffalo Bills in their debut game at Highmark Stadium stomped the Detroit Lions. Get up all in their junk. Scoring repeatedly in the first and second quarters and then coasting to a 41-31 victory. And the Bills are 2-0 and looking damn good right now. Dan Hans is here. Mark Sessler.
What insights do Arif Hasan and Drew Magary bring from the All Ball podcast?
Connor Orr. Justin Graver on the ones and twos. Big show coming up today, including the debut of the hot list.
What is the new “Hot List” segment and why does it matter for Week 2?
But before that, let's talk about another hot as a pistol, Sessy.
Could Carson Wentz become a surprise hero for the Vikings?
Performance by Josh Allen and a Buffalo offense that looks unstoppable.
I mean, we're two weeks into the season, and Connor can't be loving this. The Buffalo Bills have slayed both of his Super Bowl teams
in
consecutive order. I mean, whatever I thought about them last week in positive ways, the feeling only grows this evening. And I have had my Bills exhaustion and my Bills issues. I can totally get behind
what
I'm
seeing
right now.
Why is Ben Johnson’s coaching style being compared to Icarus?
I can completely get behind what I'm seeing right now. They were totally dominant tonight. And, you know, the Lions fought. They fought towards the end. They're going to be in a lot of shootouts this year. But Josh Allen right now, with the connection with Joe Brady, it just seems like... I had questions wondering if just refreshing the building like this and the coaching staff, was it sort of a hollow maneuver to get out of the dark days of the past? Nope.
What is the current status of Bill Belichick’s legacy check‑in?
I think it's worked. It's completely worked. Like this Bills offense, and it feels like there have been a lot of great Bills offenses. This one feels like one for the ages that is basically in the category of I'll view them as unstoppable until someone shows me otherwise.
They were eight for their first nine third downs, and the average distance to gain was like 3.3 yards, which is totally insane. I mean, the Detroit Lions couldn't get them in any unfavorable situations.
How serious is Joe Burrow’s back injury and what does it mean for the Bengals?
It wasn't until the very end of the game that they even, I felt like, forced a true third down conversion, like a turnover on downs. And so, I mean... Part of that is certainly indicative of the state of the Lions defense right now. But part of this is just the Bills ripped apart the Houston Texans a week ago, too.
It's pretty amazing watching Josh Allen right now play football. And it's, it's a same thing. Like I don't have the same feeling obviously about Houston and week one, as I do for Detroit after two games, Houston, I saw it as likely an aberration with Allen, just playing out of his mind and stealing that game. I think the lions have actual problems defensively. And it's, if we want to, and we all talk them up, I think we all have them as a playoff team. Like,
What does Travis Kelce’s growing business acumen mean for his future?
This isn't going to play like and we'll get to the Detroit Detroit side of it. But I don't even put so much into them scoring a bunch of points in the second half because Buffalo is just playing basically prevent run out the clock defense at that point. They had already ended the game. And I just thought, like, what a statement of intent. that first drive was just a thing of beauty. And there's only one quarterback in the league that could run a drive the way Josh Allen ran that first drive, where it was either his legs picking up chunk yardage and then throwing the ball when he needs to and just almost doing it himself. And, like, I think about... there's a very short list of quarterbacks in this century, or, you know, if you go back another 10, 12 years, when I started watching pro football that I, that I've ever seen that could control a game and just be a one man like force.
And it's Josh Allen. And to come out of the summer and training camp on a heater like this, it makes you really wonder Connor, where this can go, where this can head. Because I, Joe Brady and Josh Allen have a close relationship, and the fact that they've come out of the gates absolutely scorching hot, and you look at players. There's only been four players in NFL history to have five-plus touchdowns and four-plus rushing touchdowns in a two-game span.
