  1. The later 2 point conversion pass to Coleman also was incomplete, after the DB mugged him thoroughly.  Isn't DPI or holding allowed to be called on conversion tries?

     

    Maybe it was better that the conversion failed.  The Ravens still had a two point lead and they thought they could just run out the clock, which didn't work and the Bills got the ball back.  If the game had been tied at 40, the Ravens would have spent the rest of the game trying to score, and maybe they're the ones who kick the winning FG at the end.

  2. Every time something like this happens (well, nothing exactly like this has happened, but there have been a LOT of weirdly good things) and the Bills pull through it and the fans go berserk, there are NFL FAs out there who figure they want a piece of that too.  I'm not saying they'll sign with the Bills for cheap, but some of them will give up a few nickels and dimes to be part of this team.

    The fact that he took on Henry shows how Strong he is.

    He realized he signed with the right team.

     

    This one is for Joey Bosa:

    OK so this is older than Bosa, but I'll bet his parents liked this.

  3. The Bills cleverly let the Ravens score quickly for most of the game so the Bills defenders would remain rested late in the game.  (/s).  In contrast the Bills ran over 70 offensive plays, in a Week 1 game when the players aren't all fully conditioned yet, so the Ravens defense was gassed at the end.

     

    Another view of complementary football, but not one I think McDermott will buy.

  4. Those of us old enough to remember the Bills going 0 for the 1970s against Miami will remember several games where the Bills really should have won, but they always choked.  The Dolphins were inside the Bills heads and the coaches and players always froze in the close games, handing wins to the Dolphins.  

     

    I think the Bills are now firmly inside the Ravens' heads.  By the middle of the fourth quarter, the Ravens started coasting.  Harbaugh could have gone for it on 4th and 3 and thank God he didn't, but he was thinking about not losing instead of winning.  Henry was incredible but he fumbled for the second time since the first Trump administration (I think it's been that long), a move that multiple Bills would have pulled during the Miami loss streak.  

     

    The mental part goes back to the playoff game where Taron Johnson intercepted Jackson with the Ravens poised to tie the game.  Johnson's pick six from our own end zone is still rattling around in Jackson's brain.  Aside from that there was a recent regular season game in Baltimore where the Ravens kicked butt in the first half, but couldn't do anything right in the second half, and the Bills won.  That game is rattling around in Harbaugh's brain.  

     

    The game when the Bills finally broke the curse and beat the Dolphins came at a game at Rich where things broke so much right for the Bills that they couldn't lose, and the players and coaches just played great and didn't freeze or choke.  There was such a celebration after that game that the fans tore down the goalposts.

     

    In the movie Seabisquit the trainers for Seabisquit told the jockey to give up the lead to the big horse he was racing against, but then to take it back, which would break the other horse's heart.  Games like these where the Bills keep pulling wins away, are going to do a number on the mental state of the Ravens players and coaches.

  5. Rodney Harrison on the postgame show on Peacock looked like he was going to cry.  He's all in for the Ravens and Jackson in particular.  

     

    I've been a Bills fan since 1963 when I was 7.  62 years.  There have been a lot more bad years than good ones.  And during those bad years, these were the games the Bills would have lost when they had what should have been a sure win.  

     

    I like these years more.
