If it makes people feel better whatever year we ultimately win the superbowl there will be a big group of fans saying we’ve got no chance of winning it every single week all the way up to the superbowl 😂

Oh yea and just because you beat some amazing team doesn’t mean you’re gonna beat the really good team anyway.. beating kc,Detroit,Baltimore makes you feel like anything is possible but you still have to go out and play well.. that’s why one game elimination is so hard

It takes a monumental performance the rest of the game to make up for coughing up really good field position on two turnovers and getting stuffed on the two yard line and Lamar did not do enough. Absolutely a below average game for him but peoples brains only can remember the last 30 minutes these days 😂. I’m all for downplaying like deep ball ints, not every INT is the same. But he set the bills offense up really nice both times. An absolutely horrendous holding call stopped them from probably giving up 14 off those two turnovers they had to go absolutely perfect late td, 2 point conversion, and stopping the bills from driving down for the game winner due to Lamar’s mistakes and didn’t even make it to step 3 of that.. he came up pretty small in all the big moments…the late td that probably doesn’t win the game anyway doesn’t change everything

Probably not a hall of famer but Flacco is the classic guy that hung around too long so you forget that he was actually pretty darn good way back when lol his 2012 playoff run was ridiculous.

well, you missed the word RUSH before defense in my post which was literally the entire point of the post so this is awkward haha im sorry you felt insulted but it’s entirely due to reading comprehension. Baltimore and Denver allowed 3.6 ypc and 4 ypc (1st and 2nd best). in the regular season and were 1st and 3rd in rushing yards allowed per game. If we’re talking about total defense I’d agree that KC is right there with those two teams or better because Baltimore and denver were giving up some big passing plays when they had issues. I was specifically talking about rushing though because that’s what the bills like to do

A lot of those negative plays led to trouble for Baltimore though…Lamar seemed to really struggle when the offense was off schedule. That first negative Henry run led to the INT, second negative Henry run was the goal to go stand, justice hill negative run led to them having to settle for a fg just outside the redzone. Some 10-20 yard runs between the 20s doesn’t hurt you nearly as bad as that stuff is hurting them. An offense like that is gonna get their yards, 5/6 losses they outgained their opponent and the one where they didn’t cleveland outgained them by like 15 yards

Ehh I don’t think so, that was kind of an odd game. That ravens team is an absolute powerhouse just had a pretty flukey game with those missed kicks which forced them to roll the dice earlier on 4th down than they should’ve had to. Philly is still really good don’t get me wrong but they’re a tier below Baltimore imo

On the flip side, the eagles being the only nfc East team to lose their superbowl to the bills would be enjoyed by all outside Philly

100% agree on Lamar great player and seems like a great dude. The people that talk about him annoy me but he doesn’t. I gotta add that the offensive offside was not the game winning play though lol. Like the game this Sunday, bills had time to go down and score to win the game even if that play counted. And since the td didn’t count, kc still had time to drive down and seal the game leaving us with no time to do anything but they turned it over on downs. Those clowns treated it like a walkoff win got stolen from them but it wasn’t at all the case

I feel like people need to learn how to evaluate a rushing performance especially against a team like that. We were pretty consistently stopping runs in the backfield/for no gain which was putting the ravens in tough spots leading to turnovers and the goal to go stand. The yards per attempt metric doesn’t really tell the story of that game…I thought the ravens ran it too much with Henry if anything. That was one of the best performances I’ve seen against him all year. the problem you run into with Derrick Henry usually is it’s really difficult to stop him from gaining at least 3-4 yards at minimum even when you’re bottling him up so the offense always stays on schedule. The bills turned that on its head

Lol Im sure he knows Hamlin is bad in coverage but I think he just didn’t see him on that play…guarantee you if he could’ve cashed out that throw midair for an incompletion he would’ve done so. Hamlin had all day to get under that one I thought maybe it was the angle I was at or something so I didn’t bring it up initially but now I’ve been seeing videos of it and it was every bit as bad as I thought it was real time 😂

I, a frequent Josh defender, thought Josh played pretty meh and he WON the game lol. I would be livid if he did what Lamar did and wishing he played more like Josh 😂 Brady/mcd are taking some heat that Josh deserves imo. That missed throw to Kincaid and the TE screen audible killed half our drives in the second half but I keep reading the coaching staff neutered him or something…can’t really understand it hes the best player in the league imo but he wasn’t great in this one,didn’t actively hurt the team but didn’t help a ton either. I do think he pulls off the late fg drive to win it if he had to though. Lamar actively hurt his team. Fluky bad snap fumble? He was dancing around before securing the football trying to make a play happen… that was 1000% on him. Had a pass tipped on a huge 2 point conversion, got stuffed in a goal to go situation. He also basically threw another deep ball right at a safety and got away with it because Hamlin misjudged it so bad on top of all the other stuff…I probably could’ve jumped down from the 300 level and caught that pick while the ball was in the air 😂. not sure what Hamlin was doing on that one…looked like he was standing still lining up the pick then it went right over his head at the last second

I think the chiefs are gonna have a hard enough time stopping the run especially if it’s gonna be one of those ‘blind eye to OL holding’ games its flying under the radar but the bills have run the ball effectively on arguably the two best rushing defenses in the league to the point where Payton literally said in his press conference he was baffled by it and I’m sure Harbaugh would agree. The chiefs rush defense is def good/fringe top 10 but ravens/broncos are on a whole other level

Should’ve had three and a chunk less yards while were playing the what if game lol…one of those deep completions he threw pretty much right to Hamlin who misjudged it. If we’re gonna undo an Andrews fumble that play easily could’ve gone the other way too

The whole bills dline got pancaked immediately like three times in a row on that last drive haha idk if we got caught with subs in or what. I find it hard to blame taron for anything down the stretch in that game I was sure that was gonna be a pick watching him line that up from the stands 😂. Looked like an outfielder misjudging a deep fly ball in my softball league lol

We definitely had two of the three best rushing defenses in the league scratching their head a bit about how we were running the ball so well the past few games. Pretty good warmup for the KC game… you don’t get to say this often but that’s probably the worst rush defense we will see in this three game stretch lol still good but Baltimore and Denver were elite if we were to beat KC, Washington beating Philly would be massive. I don’t think Washington could stop us

I think we kind of caught Baltimore by surprise running the football effectively in the first half because no one has really been able to do that on them and their second half adjustment was to key in on that mostly. The execution in the passing game just got pretty sloppy in half two, you’ve gotta be able to hit on those second/third and medium situations in the passing game consistently with how balanced our offense is and we just whiffed on a makeable play to Kincaid and Josh oddly checked into a TE screen to Knox the two times we punted in the second half. I do think Balt got away with some holds as they often do but that’s to be expected in playoff football and will continue against kc. Looked like Shakir got held pretty bad one of those drives we get held to a fg. I don’t think Brady called as bad/conservative of a game as it seemed in the moment. Heck the te screen wasn’t even a bad read by Josh numbers wise but he probably shouldn’t have trusted Knox to pick that up with how well Baltimore was rallying to the ball. There’s probably a few tight window throws Josh would’ve let rip in the second half if we weren’t out in front

I keep hearing this insanely conservative/no trust thing about the offense and I don’t really see it personally. Half the drives in the second half (not counting the final clincher) were killed by Josh himself or Josh/kincaid…there were only 4 total. He threw a pretty bad ball to Kincaid on that first drive out of halftime, Kincaid probably could’ve bailed him out but Josh definitely could’ve thrown a better ball. the TE screen Josh definitely audibled into. That leaves the back to back misses to cooper and shakir drive that looked like throwaways so I’m not gonna count that against either the qb or coach. I thought Shakir got held but that’s playoff football I guess. the goal line sequence yea maybe you sneak twice if you’re cool with a butthole clencher 4th and long 1 sneak situation 😂. I think it’s fair to question that though sure. feels like tbd thinks we ran the ball every play or something in that second half and that’s definitely not the case, it was the same balance as always we just made a funky 3rd down audible decision and missed a huge second down throw that we needed to have. I’ve gotta fact check myself on this but I don’t believe we ran twice on a series of downs all game.

I disagree entirely with that talking heads assessment tbh…I think they ran too much if anything and it frequently put them off schedule. Henry had a couple decent runs in the second half but really didn’t do much with his opportunities, hill hit a big run and a lot of the damage was done in the passing game outside of that. I really think hill had a better game than Henry and should’ve taken some of Henry’s snaps honestly. Henry just doesn’t have that short area quickness and the bills frequently got to him before he could get up to speed.

Milano for sure too

The injury history is a huge question mark there

There were a couple checks to screens it seemed like to me that were pretty good reads Baltimore just out executed us. They were real good rallying to the football and tackling all night

Gotcha yea that’s correct

Henry running into a wall the first half was a lot of the problem lol Lamar kept getting caught in obvious passing situations and Henry was 0 help in the passing game when Lamar was under pressure so it looks like they gave justice hill some looks then brought Henry back in when the bills defense wore down a bit if anything I thought the ravens didn’t throw enough early

The hype video that played before the game was amazing which included some media disrespect lol
