    The national media narrative since the Bills won

    The Patriots used to get endless praise for just playing efficient, mistake-free football - and letting their opponent beat themselves.

     

    I've noticed that about today's narrative, also - the Ravens SHOULD have won, if they just didn't turn the ball over, commit penalties and drop passes.  No real credit for the Bills for making a lot of that happen, and for taking care of the ball themselves.  And ONE phantom penalty the whole game for Buffalo.

     

    FIFY. It wasn't a penalty.

    Guess they want a lazy person who comes in late and leaves early while blaming everyone else for their shortcomings. 😂

    From what I recall the accounts were that Rex was the lazy twin, Rob was the incompetent twin. I’m too lazy to Google, but I thought the reports were Rob used to put in long days and sleep in his office, which based on his results was just time wasted.
     

    Does anyone else remember when he was the Raida’s DC and he was sh!t talkin’ about Trent Edwards prior to a Bills-Raiders game? I remember thinking this guy must have a mental problem if he thinks that’s motivational for his defense. It was akin to trying to drum up strong feelings about vanilla ice cream…

    ^ oh my god does Swift ever create revenue for the league! My buddy’s wife will watch every Chiefs game just to see Taylor for a few mins each time. And yeah, no they love Kelce. 
     

    I was in Barnes and Noble recently… there was a kids biography section that picture books of the most famous people in time (that kids would care about)… George Washington, Abe Lincoln, Taylor Swift… and yep, you guessed… Travis Kelce. I almost puked. 

    Hold on a minute… Barnes and Noble still exists?!?!

    I'd be more concerned with these interviews if they had to fly to other teams facilities during a practice week. Doing these interviews over zoom or whatever, is probably the least intrusive way you could do them.

    Vinovich talks to Allen

    his body language it was in part.  He put his hand on his chest like  "my bad" 


    Allen also patted him on the side, which I didn't notice before

    I suspect that he was giving Allen the benefit of the doubt and some leeway cuz he's Allen,  but I suspect he was tapping his chest and saying "I don't want to have to be the one to toss you from the game" for whatever it was that Allen said. I suspect by their reactions and Allen's sheepish owning of it in the pressor that if this had been Jerry Hughes who said what he said he would have been tossed.

    LOL Ok I get it now. 🤦‍♂️

    Yeah, he abused Surtain after the catch. Everyone is focused on him stepping over him or shoving him with his foot in the chest... the head shove at the beginning of the whole thing was probably enough to earn the flag on its own. Consider it a three-fer.

    He was fine and when you keep a good team scoreless for 31/2 quarters and shut their run game down, fans are clueless to complain about a rotational tackle. They had pressure on the edges and Nix was forced into errant throws on many drives. Just take a great win with some perspective.

    :ph34r:... psstt... the post you're responding to was from the September 29 Ravens game... no one showed up for that game. :lol:

    Another disaster by McDs defense in the playoffs

    They have on early downs a few times over the last month.

    I think they've been feeling it out just for this matchup and expect to see Dorian Williams out there at times next week, particularly in the first half.

    I hope you're right. It would be refreshing to see them address their defensive liabilities against the Ravens pre-emptively with a game plan that employs the 4-3 on early downs. Watching Henry chew them up without a plan to try and contain it would be akin to watching AJ Klein predictably fail in the KC game last year.

    This was the best defensive playoff performance in the McDermott/Allen era IMO. Maybe we'll be lucky enough to have the script completely flipped this year. Poor in the regular season but stout in the playoffs. 

    The defense IS the healthiest they've been in the playoffs since the 2021-2022 season. Hope they have a plan to stop Henry next week. Lamar tends to look less than MVP-like when Henry is contained.

    Which team are you most scared of in the playoffs?

    Baltimore

     

    The only team to handedly beat us in all phases this season. It was never a game. And I don't think that was a mirage.

     

    We don't match up well against them. The things they're best at are things we're bad at. We could not stop them. And Defensively, they gave us fits.

     

    I'm hoping Zay Flowers being out and it being a Division game leads to the Steelers doing an upset. Or that Zay misses next week as well. I think we always have a chance against anyone. But if there's one team I want to avoid? It's Baltimore, easy.

    The Ravens game to me was one part "one of those games" and one part "same old Bills run defense". The Bills offense from the opening kickoff looked out of sorts. On defense, Taron Johnson and Terrel Bernard not playing was a challenge, and losing Rapp made it worse. The killer, though, was Henry popping an 87 yd TD from their first play from scrimmage and the Bills then having to commit, unsuccessfully as it were, to stopping him leaving Lamar to sprinkle a few passes, a few runs and a few TDs around without having to carry the load. 

     

    The BIlls offense has looked much better after adding Cooper, so I wouldn't expect the same problems they had in that game. It was probably THE reason Beane pulled the trigger on that trade.

     

    The thing that concerns me, regardless of the injuries in that game, is that has been the trend for the Bills defense against offensively balanced teams for years, most notably in the playoffs, leaving Allen going nuclear as their only option. They don't have any more of an answer now for Henry than they did in week 4, and watching them get chewed up by LA and Detroit, their secondary is now just as much of a problem as their run defense. If they face the Ravens it's likely to be a shootout unless subpar playoff Lamar makes his annual appearance. I'll definitely be rooting for the Steelers defense tomorrow night.

    Looks like Brady won't return as a FOX analyst for 2025

    He definitely improved. He was unlistenable to start off. I think he can be inciteful. I say this as a biased Brady hater, but I think even if I wasn't a bBh I would still have thought this just maybe to a lesser extent, sometimes I think he's quick witted and a good listen and other times I think he's a bit of an unnecessarily arrogant dick.

    Congrats Kyle Williams, new DL coach of the LSU Tigers

    Kyle Williams reaction to the Bengals TD that broke the streak lead me to buy his jersey… the only Bills jersey I’ve ever owned. One of my all time favorites. I imagine it was hard to be that guy for his entire career during the drought. 
     

    And the subject of one of my favorite opponent’s post-game quotes of all time when they asked Martellus Bennett what happened on the INT - “I dunno what happened on that sh!t. The fat guy got a pick.”

    Joe Cribbs

    Cribbs was Thurman Thomas Lite, before there was a Thurman Thomas.  He'd hit the hole quick, fight for yards, good receiver out of the backfield and a willing blocker.  He was a huge part of the offense for his first couple of years.  He replaced the bust that was Terry Miller, who had been picked at 5th in the draft (I think) 2 years before.  

     

    It wasn't a surprise that he bolted to the USFL at the time.  This was a pre free agency, pre salary cap, pre Polian era, and the Bills...weren't paying some of their best players.  Birmingham probably paid him at least twice of what Buffalo was willing to pay.  

     

     

    I don't remember a lot of Cribbs cuz I was just coming into my fandom in those years, but the highlight reel actually reminds me a little bit of another #20 who used to be in the backfield with Thurman at Oklahoma State...
