Generic_Bills_Fan

I was saying it all game…seems like they flood the middle of the field against the bills and give us all the underneath stuff. Then by just sheer force of will they fly all over the place rallying to the underneath throws and eventually gas out as the game goes on. Reminds me so much of Atlanta vs NE in the Super Bowl and really seems to be the common theme in their blown leads People are hand waving the result away blaming the fumble but maybe in this alternate reality where Henry doesn’t fumble the bills get the ball back and hit on the two pointer to tie it anyway i get the underneath throws got frustrating for fans but that’s the feeling DCs want Josh to get too…they’re trying to get him frustrated and forcing passes into high traffic areas

Yea I’m all for not getting ahead of ourselves but with the sh*tshow the afc north is gonna be I feel like this game was massive and people aren’t really understanding how huge that comeback win was. the bills could be the worse team overall and are still very likely be the better seed than Baltimore based on this result. KC is still an unknown but there will be a game where kc and Baltimore play eachother and someone has to lose. KC is the big one now because we really want the situation where kc and Baltimore play eachother in the playoffs and we get to just clean up whoever wins that battle lol. Have to out-seed both teams to do that

Since mcd has been around I think we’ve blown as many late two score leads against all teams total as the ravens have blown against just the bills lol. It’s honestly pretty wild. Seeing as Harbaugh can’t beat the bills or chiefs and keeps throwing these kinds of games away with probably the best roster for closing out games I just don’t understand why his seat doesn’t seem as hot as mcd’s. That superbowl win is becoming a more distant memory every year

Ravens front office has gotta be pissed…I feel like they put a historically incredible team together every year and they oftentimes can’t even get by the team that can’t get by the chiefs lol there is not a team more well suited to protect late leads than the ravens and they just can’t do it

The Lamar injury was kinda a long term gift for their front office tbh.. it cost them a year of being very competitive (in a year the chiefs were at max offensive power) but no way they get Kyle Hamilton for 4 years on a rookie deal without that injury.. if Lamar doesn’t get hurt that year they probably go 12-5 and get the 1 seed

Idk what the hell they’re doing at corner but other than that their roster is stacked lol feels like they just keep trying to start washed up veterans at outside corner and seeing as the pass rush isn’t great that’s really gonna hurt

My guess would be the bills wanted mcduffie and the chiefs surprisingly traded up to steal him so we had to trade up to get the only other corner we had a high first round grade on that wasn’t as good of a scheme fit. Seeing as the cowboys ended up with Elam eventually I wonder if we were concerned they’d swipe him if we didn’t move up it was mostly dumb luck the ravens were in position to take Hamilton at all lol not only should he not have fallen that far but the ravens had to lose 5 in a row (4 extremely close games) after a Lamar injury to even have the 14th pick. Hamilton easily should’ve gone top 10 and probably should’ve gone top 5 so teams picking late in the first probably didn’t even see him as a trade up target. Hamilton had to have dropped because of his 40 time at the combine which is just dumb haha

The Sunday night football producers literally picked the most boring people they could possibly find to do the pregame/postgame lol

Ehh idk…I think the ravens offense is even more all time stacked this year and sometimes you’ve just gotta win a shootout.. in the playoff game their outside WRs were absolute clowns with flowers out which made loading up against the run much easier. They had flowers and dhop this time. People are talking like this was the same offense we saw in the playoff game but they were considerably better. Bateman at WR1 really simplified the defensive gameplan idk how much of what we saw last night will apply to any of the other 30 teams in the league so the panic is likely a bit premature

Oh man I forgot about this rather silly rule 😂. I guess they have to let the defense treat receivers as blockers to give them a chance on plays where the qb scrambles that way…they can def take advantage and lock up a passing route though that was never realistically gonna become a blocker though. I remember the Seahawks just kinda tackling all the receivers on a play back in the tyrod taylor days

Flowers being out in the playoff game def helped a lot…their receivers were not threats at all and could be single covered without help pretty easily Hopkins/flowers was a pretty big upgrade over Bateman/tylan Wallace/other random dudes

Rapp was the bigger problem yesterday…both were problems though. I think you’ve gotta roll with bishop and get him reps…he’s no worse than Hamlin he’s just different lol. If bishop diagnoses a play correctly he’s got the physical skills to make a play but Hamlin really has no chance despite being the smarter player right now

I’m not sure that’s true…I mean Hamlin knows what he’s supposed to be doing which is maybe a moral victory? 😂. He’s just so tremendously un-physically skilled that he can’t do it anyway though

I think they were 5 or 6 in defensive DVOA last year but I refuse to pay for a subscription 😂. They were bad early but shuffled some guys around and were pretty lights out the rest of the way. Granted most of the schedule was easy down the stretch but I wouldn’t be shocked if they were top 2 or 3 for the second half of the season after moving Kyle Hamilton to a more normal role. They were trying to do way too much with him early on

Yea it was an instant silent snap right when they got to the line…the lions do it some also but I don’t think that’s been thrown at us before really think Harbaugh should’ve saved that for the playoffs tbh

Oh he was bad haha I’m not trying to say he was decent…Rapp was just worse

Yea now that rational thought has returned I feel like bishop was just bad and rapp was godawful haha

Might take them a little bit to get the new defensive scheme down…probably good the road game is early

Hall is a beast but fields who I feel like is underrated is Lamar veryyyy light still though 😂

I don’t think bishop was as overwhelmingly bad as it seemed from his lowlight plays tbh. I thought Rapp was even worse (not saying much though 😂). That infamous super weird late blitz was some snap shenanigans from the ravens…that was actually pretty cool tbh. Ravens just went up and immediately silently snapped it which got the bills caught in their coverage disguise. Probably a blessing someone did that to us in the regular season…lions do it some but im not sure if they did it to us at all

It’s funny cuz one of the most famous two pointer principles is you’re probably not gonna fail on two (especially when one starts on the 1 yard line) yet we sure did 😂. Kinda got hosed on the first one though

Hahaha I straight up confused myself replying to this and had to delete it twice…wasn’t that the missed two pointer where the ravens had too many men moving us up to the 1? I’ve definitely seen teams go for that in all spots. There were so many two pointers that I was thinking of a later one initially lol pretty good shot you get the 2 pointer and if you don’t there’s time to get another in a game where the ravens are scoring at will and you gotta figure out some way to maybe steal a possession somewhere down the road

I feel like teams are going for the two pointer earlier these days…I’m gonna try to do some digging on it but I really feel like I’ve seen that quite a few times recently posters are a bit behind on the new hot analytics trend I think 😂. (Although that doesn’t mean it’s right) in fact failing early probably worked out as they knew they were chasing an extra fg late and I have little faith any individual 2 pointer was anywhere near a 50% success rate that game haha

It means just walking back in bounds basically lol I don’t think you can hop straight from out of bounds and catch the ball then land with two feet in but just walking back inbounds after being forced out should’ve been more than fine 100% lol. There was some explanation of why the bills weren’t allowed to try again after committing an accepted penalty but they completely blew the force out explanation. Goes to show you how absolutely terrible that call was

Complete screw job is probably the answer lol. All he has to do is walk back on the field and get both feet in if he’s forced out…nfl refs just completely botched the ‘he got forced out’ part of it and missed it. Eagle eyes on seeing him step out though of course 😂 the announcers were likely thinking they didn’t know the rules because of how impossible the force out was to miss
