It’s Connor Williams…the drop off from Williams to eichenberg is massive. Lamm actually played pretty well filling in for armstead

I mean that’s impossible to say without seeing their first playoff game lol…2 divisional round exits as the 1 seed and there will be a lot of talk about how they should’ve played starters for a few drives if they steamroll whoever they go against for 60 minutes then you can claim victory I’ll def admit I was wrong 😂. It’s not about how they look now though it’s about how they’ll look after 20 ish days of no meaningful football.

If it looks off tomorrow we wouldn’t have done anything in the playoffs anyway…dolphins defense without Howard and a couple of their big time pass rushers is probably the worst defensive lineup we’ve seen all year chiefs and pats are tough defenses and cowboys game we really didn’t even try to throw but that chargers game was a head scratcher I think ironically the passing game is suffering against teams with beef in the linebacker spot because they don’t have to commit any extra resources to slow down the run and can focus on locking up receivers so it’s a bit of an opposites thing goin on 😂

Yep I would…this offense looks disjointed enough when playing every week imagine not playing for like 20 days 😂. 1-2 drives would be a fine compromise doesn’t have to be a whole half. Not to mention the ravens have a history of resting starters in this exact situation and getting bounced in their first game and a qb that has never looked good in the playoffs

I mean on paper sure they beat them tonight but as far as evidence of ‘how can you say the Steelers aren’t that good look at who they beat this year’ this game meant nothing lol my point has nothing to do with the bills at all…Steelers are a mediocre at best team that will sneak in the playoffs based on catching superior teams at the right time if they make it at all. Were beating up the bills for losing to three bad teams at various points throughout the year? Pit lost three extremely important games in a row against Arizona NE and Indy down the stretch idk how Tomlin gets away with it lol they were an essential lock for the playoffs and they completely choked and now Tomlin gets praise for another winning season with supposedly no talent because Baltimore pretty much gifted them a win 😂. Doesn’t even bother me at all if they end up being the team that keeps us out I just was taken aback by someone implying they are good tonight was the perfect result for the bills if they have actual Super Bowl aspirations imo…Baltimore might come out flat and get bounced despite being the best team and we might get pit in round 1

They didn’t really beat THE ravens twice to be fair. Seattle is very mediocre also. They beat the jake browning bengals that weren’t very good twice is why they’re knocking on the door of the playoffs. you might want to check that Texans Steelers box score again 😂 Steelers are a fringe playoff team with watt…Its pretty fair to say based on the effort tonight they probably would not have beaten the ravens starters. They’re pretty much a 9-8 team with some surprising wins and terrible losses. With burrow starting all year they’re probably 8-9 at best. They dodged a ton of divisional bullets due to insane luck lol. 13-3 ravens without Lamar and cincy x2 without burrow is half their division games

Completely unrelated to the bills I think giving Lamar two weeks off is a blunder honestly…if they couldn’t have gotten the bye and had the 2 seed clinched then I’m all for resting key starters and Lamar all game but there’s a pretty good chance ravens come out flat in their first playoff game I would’ve played him a half if it was up to me

It’s makin the 2 seed play an extra game though which is giving a massive advantage to the 1 seed. Instead of playing nobody they’ve gotta play a pretty decent team so I don’t think it’s watering down the competition imo but I could see how somebody would

I didn’t even remember Phillips 😁. Our pass rush absolutely fell off a cliff without von last year…we are exponentially better in the trenches without him this year than we were late last year

Most playoff teams lose 1-2 head scratchers a year we lost one too many imo. Kc lost to Las Vegas, Green Bay, Denver but they’ve got no other good team in their division so it worked out. Eagles lost to jets and cardinals cowboys lost to cardinals also Miami blew a huge lead against ten Baltimore had the third worst division record in the afc north despite facing a bunch of teams with backup qbs but then they went out and smashed SF and Miami

The odds they’ll come out flat in a couple of weeks are much higher than the odds Lamar would’ve gotten hurt if he played a couple drives

I agree…I’m scratching my head why Lamar didn’t play a drive or two

I’m happy for the opposite reason haha I think there’s a good chance the ravens offense is flat in two weeks gettin a tj watt-less Steelers in the playoffs is a gift too

I’m not sure it’s smart when you’ve got Lamar who is perpetually ice cold in the playoffs…I probably would’ve played him a half or a couple drives minimum

He’s also above Josh Allen levels of turnovers lol I think he’s got 8 ints and 1 lost fumble in 5 games

Then the announcer saying it was close lol

I have to commend him for keeping it going outside the gameday threads…most of the trolls show up there every week but don’t have the commitment to post throughout the week 😂

No von either and no Leonard Floyd to fill in/replace? injured von on the roster yet either 😂

Other teams don’t have 4.4 speed at like 4 positions at the same time…that quick release business isn’t going for 10-15 yard gains for other teams…they’ve gotta hold the ball longer. A lot of teams have one fast receiver but you really would need 2+ to put the defender in conflict as fast as possible tua is just taking a snap reading one conflict defender 10 yards down the middle of the field and throwing.. it’s a bit risky against clever defensive coordinators because they start baiting you into stuff and there’s just no time post snap for tua to adjust. They’re kind of destined to absolutely destroy bad defenses that can’t communicate in the secondary and struggle mightily against good defenses The bills rpo/option route heavy offense gives them a lot more opportunity to adapt based on what the defense is doing but there’s also a higher chance people aren’t on the same page

Mcdaniel is good at disguising the few concepts tua likes behind a ton of different formations/presnap motion. They haven’t been fooling the better defenses in the league though…I think he’s a high floor low-ish ceiling kind of coach where he’s going to continue to beat up on bad teams and never pull off the winning streak against good teams needed to do anything in the playoffs

fan votes count for 1/3rd, coaches and players the other 2/3rds. So it’s likely he got snubbed by those other groups too

Just saw a stat that Josh has the highest pff grade for offensive players against playoff teams which game me a chuckle since he’s a pro bowl alternate lol i do think some of it is coaches/players not voting for him since he has skipped the pro bowl to play golf 2 years in a row 😁

Ramsey hasn’t been 100% I kind of hope they try that honestly

That ain’t wrong but it is kind of sad…the NE defense we saw Sunday was significantly better than the Miami defense missing Howard,Chubb,Phillips,baker, and Ramsey playing hurt that Baltimore saw of course we get two games to light up that Miami defense though haha so it evens out

The league feels like it took a big swing back in the defense’s direction to me this year... I’m not sure how relevant past superbowl winners are gonna be. I don’t think we’ve really seen any qbs play at the josh Allen 2021 playoff level at all this season. Seems to be making people think the bills are worse than they are. When you look at just buffalo yea the offense sputters at times but that’s happening to a lot of the good teams this year The defense being riddled with injuries between the jax game and the broncos game is as big or arguably bigger of a contributing factor to the shape we’re in record wise than the offensive concerns. When Rasul got acclimated the defense got a lot better and we started winning. you can look at the qbs that have won but look at the defenses too, it’s almost always a top 10 defense that gets it done
