Absolutely bizarre strategy by the Ravens. I would’ve thought they bring the house, but I guess they prefer to get diced up methodically.

I’m enjoying the win as much as I can, but the defense left a lot to be desired. I’m hoping it’s week 1 jitters.

I get the frustration and I’m not talking about you, but the negativity is just overwhelming on the game day thread. I made a comment how the Ravens might’ve messed up by scoring too quickly and leaving Allen too much time. Immediately, I get piled on I guess for being too optimistic? It’s common knowledge to combat elite QBs by keeping them off the field via time consuming drives/ TOP battle. Sure enough that’s exactly what happened and Buffalo came back w/ quick scores of their own. They even had enough time to kneel down and run the clock out.

Exactly. You aren’t going to stop Lamar, but you can contain him. Eventually something bad will happen. I got flamed for this in the game thread, but I said the Ravens screwed themselves by scoring too quickly and I was right. It gave the Bills ample time to engineer a comeback and force a turnover. Ravens should’ve played the long game and kept Allen off the field, but they thought their weapon was better than ours.

Terrible Fing spot by the refs per usual. They Fing suck. Now holding call after they gaffed on the spot

Yeah…no

what a disrespect to a great offense to allow the opposing to team to drop 40+ on you in your own stadium ? What a joke. Someone needs to answer for this. I’m tired of getting gashed on these insane 3rd down plays. Contain, contain, contain. What were the DE’s doing tackling Lamar’s FEET ?!

And just like that they are right back in the game with plenty of time to go. There’s a reason “time of possession” is a very important stat to coaches. You want long, time consuming drives against elite quarterbacks to keep them off the field, What’s not to understand?

Too easy. edit: why bro? Why go for 2 when you don’t need it right away ?

I mean it’s true. It would be better for them to take long time consuming drives to eat up the clock and close out the game faster

“Brainless message board troll regurgitating a buzzword they heard on the internet, but doesn’t know the actual meaning of it”

You can’t even blame the defense for that. It’s just undefendable. The only good thing is they are scoring quickly given the Bills plenty of time to get back into the game.

- says the grown man calling another grown man “mommy” you can’t make this up… 😆

We are definitely not getting the home team treatment from the Refs today.

Go to sleep, little boy.

Bc Brady gets too cute for his own good wayyyy too much.

As usual they follow up something brilliant with something stupid. 1 yard line. RUN THE BALL ! The penalty absolutely has no effect when you line up in shotgun to pass. What an idiotic call.

@Johnnycage46 where you at??

Sneak it twice. Don’t F around. edit: or that

Why live life so pessimistic? At this point just turn the game off and go to sleep if you’re so sure of yourself.

Wow no charges filed for SA. So why bring it up other than just to disrespect this man’s name ? I really despise the media. Shame on Tirico.

You calculated all of this from one half of a regular season game ? Week 1 of all games ?

So much for the half time adjustments. Buffalo is getting abused out there. Brady needs to let Allen cook. I’m sick of these long agonizing drives that only end up 3 points. Look how quickly Josh was able to move up the field when they needed to put up points before the half. I mean it’s so blatantly obvious.

I thought the defense did a good job tightening up. Bosa had a horrible whiff on Lamar early, but seems to have corrected himself fairly quick. That forced fumble most likely prevented a TD. The most you can do is hope to contain Lamar. Hold him to FGs and/or grab a timely turnover or 2.
