This is what Baltimore did to Allen in week 4 I would absolutely look for an opportunity to show the Ravens we can play the same game you play and level Lamar if he tries to get cute

I don't think we have a line that isn't good at stopping the run, I think we run a scheme that isn't designed to really stop the run. This gets exploited on occasion when we aren't controlling the game and when teams see we aren't playing to stop it. I expect that we see a scheme on Sunday that is designed to keep everything short and in front of them with safeties moved up and linebackers close to the line of scrimmage Leave our corners on man and let's see what they can do

You're 100% right, and without Flowers it hurts them even more Give me Douglas and Benford on Bateman and Agholor on the outside and we'll keep eight in the box Lamar has always struggled when he's seen something unusual from the defense that forces him to win with throws on the outside McDermott should definitely be looking at schemes like this for Sunday, and if he's not, then he's doing the defense a disservice

I feel the same way I think there's just alot working in the Bills favor karma wise, health wise, and this team has been in this spot now for what will be the third consecutive season. Baltimore is riding a little too high while beating on flawed opponents and living off of their win against us when they were a desperate 1-2 team at home. This may give them a flase sense that they can handle us without much issue, and that would be a grave mistake IMO This team plays up to their competition, and when they are counted out and disrespected, they show up and remind everyone that they are as good as anyone when it comes down to it It's truly a matter of will McDermott be able to finally get his defense to show up in what will be maybe it's most daunting challenge yet...a powerhouse Ravens offense that is designed to attack an area that has shown to be our weakness at times. For some reason, my mind is telling me that he will get the defense to rise to the moment this time

Snow would not be good for us due to nobody having footing and Henry being a downhill bruiser with straight line speed I'll take wind and cold all day with Josh at QB

What do you expect when you use a slot corner as a hybrid LB?

The list of writers that are voting for MVP include a large portion of Lamar is the best thing since sliced bread mindset I think it will be extremely close, but due to what we know about many of the writers on the list, I'd say it's more likely Lamar than Josh

His defense has to show up in these playoffs or nothing has changed

I'm still trying to figure out how 49 out of 50 voters placed their vote for Lamar last season when his numbers were so far off from past MVP's that it was laughable. The Ravens were the best defense in the league last season, and that was what drove their record. They made a mockery of the award last season, so I now no longer have any expectations as to who will get it and what it's based on. I'm placing a bet on Lamar so at least I can make some money if Josh gets screwed again by these writers

This is fair Still...if we have a major blunder with a punt return, it would go down as quite the blunder, no?

You also have to remember that Baltimore was 1-2 at the time and the Bills hadn't lost. They were desperate and at home. Buffalo was sitting pretty. This team still didn't have Amari Cooper, and they were still trying to find their footing offensively. I think that game was a combination of things that favored Baltimore and didn't favor Buffalo Josh was simply bad in Houston. I think he really wanted to prove to Diggs and everyone else that he was every bit of the guy he was thought to be, and that he pressed. This team isn't one that can't beat good teams. They have risen to the moment against the best teams, but the defense has folded in the playoffs They have to stand up this postseason

Aggressiveness on defense pays off...see the Lions last Sunday against the vikings Fortune favors the bold McDermott and his defensive philosophy allows the best QB's to simply pick them apart and kill them slowly with prolonged drives All the excuses for him and the defense are gone. If they completely fold like they have done, the blame falls squarely on him

Henry is absolutely the engine that drives Baltimores offense Take him out of the game, and keep Lamar in the pocket Make him beat our linebackers and secondary with his arm

I have also been a supporter of not paying RB's, but a true top flight RB should at least be made a fair offer to retain Cook is on the cusp of potentially being one of those backs IMO. His smoothness as a runner is a thing of beauty, and he is also a very good pass catcher and appears to have fixed his ball security issues I would make him a fair offer. If he decides he wants to go somewhere else cause a team wants to pay a hefty price for him, then I let him walk and take the compensatory pick to draft another RB

This is actually incorrect Less INT's, but more fumbles and fumbles lost. He has one more total turnover
