Maybe not. We were all saying the Steeler's were getting a bye tonight. Playoff football is weird.

If our D & ST's play better then they did against the Colts I like our chances. The bottom line is that the Ravens only scored 20 points today and I think our defense is better then the Titans. And 20 points ain't going to beat us. One thing for sure is the "experts" will be stoking the Ravens all week and that is going to sharpen the Bills focus.

I don't worry about explosive as much as I worry about a slow death at the hands of a power offense team. Look if we play the Ravens it will be a dog fight and we could lose. But your fatalism is over the top. You're a big time Debbie Downer.

How do you run Watt on 3rd & 1 twice in a row? The Browns were all over that.

The reason the Colts game plan worked was Rivers very efficient passing. The Ravens don't have that.

I remember a Miami/Buffalo playoff game in 1990 at Rich Stadium that was played on a cold snowy day and both teams lit up the scoreboard throwing the football.

I just looked up the Weather Channels forecast for Orchard Park that night and it says snow showers with temperatures in the upper 20's and winds around 10 mph. Now of course this will change but they aren't calling for snow and 30 mph winds. At least not at the Weather Channel.

They just said that the Bills game is at 8:15 next Saturday.

Good job NFL officials. Helping to make sure Washington and Chicago don't advance. Good job boys in stripes.

I can't remember a game where an offense had such lousy field position for an entire half.

Running Allen right then running him left might be very hard to stop in a real snow game. Can't see Lamar's speed and dime cutting working all that well in those conditions and Big Ben may just want to stay in and take a nap.

Here's the issue for Baltimore: will 20 points beat KC or the Bills? I don't think so. TN has a bad D and the TN offense couldn't get Henry lose and couldn't dominate TOP. So just like Bills fans are nervous about our D, Ravens fans should be worried about their offense. BTW, I like Lamar. Seems like a good dude.

To be fair to Tannyhill that WR didn't exactly help him out. In fact that would be bad on a high school football field.

TN will be sick when they think back that they had 2nd & 2 at the Ravens 40 and ended up punting from the Ravens 40.

And we're an even bigger problem for both teams.

Tannyhillis having a terrible game. On 2nd & 2 with Henry just having his best run you don't check out of another Henry run to throw a low probability pass down the sideline. Bad play by the TN QB.

When TN was up 10 - 0 no one wanted to play the Titans next week. Then the Ravens roar back and now no one wants to play them. Every team left in the AFC playoffs can beat Buffalo and the Bills could return the favor. Baltimore was every bit as hot as the Bills going into playoffs and here they are early in the 4th quarter only up 17 - 13. These AFC playoff games have been dogfights.

That's part of it but he doesn't look sharp or decisive.

Tannyhill has to step up or this game will get out of hand fast. Is it me or has Tannyhill looked like Miami Tannyhill this game?

Baltimore is in trouble if the refs aren't going to call offensive PI! #11 is a beats and he's going to be open a lot.

Me to. But that was because I was very ignorant about the Colts. The only team I know pretty well is Buffalo. After that my football IQ drops through the floor. Today I'm not rooting for anybody to gain certain match ups. Let the chips fall where they do.

What made the Colts so dangerous was that they combined an offense that matched up well with our D with a D that could make us work for points. Among the rest of the AFC crowd I don't see anything that approaches this. Pitt has a good D but their O isn't going to match Indy's Baltimore, Cleveland & TN all have D's that our O can exploit. And KC would never stoop to letting the clock run down to minus one second on every play. It's not in their DNA. If we play them, the Chiefs wills say "so you want a track meet, we'll be happy to give you a track meet - ready, set, GO". Indy truly was our most frustrating opponent on the AFC side.

As others have pointed out I suspect the reason the ref didn't blow the whistle for forward progress on Allen's sack was that he knew Allen had escaped from just that type of tackle before. Those that never want to see this type of play should just own up to wanting to see Orton or Tyrod back there. But I want my QB AGGRESSIVE and given how aggressive Allen is EVERY time he plays his number of turnovers is surprisingly low. As far as the opinions of internet nitwits across the USA goes what are they saying about Russel Wilson's game yesterday? Was that a four quarters of "bad Russ"?

Wildcard playoff games are wild and completely unpredictable. Who would have thought that the Redskins would be within one score late in the 4th quarter? Or who would have thought that the Rams playing with a QB without a thumb would win by 10 points? If the Bucs make a mistake we may be the only team favored to win that actually wins.

If either of those two hits had happened to Brady it would have been a roughing the passer penalty.
