Chase just ran around and then past the entire Ravens defense. That was kind of amazing.

Ravens fans booing on a 2nd down before halftime seems harsh.

His toe came down in bounds, but the rest of the foot lands out of bounds before his 2nd foot hits. The same foot hit the ground twice which only counts as 1 foot.

Hamilton non-contact injury. Not good.

Ravens with 3 drives where they didn’t gain more than 6 yards and then 1 long TD drive.

I’m rooting for Cincy. The Ravens have the better record and the tie breaker over us right now. I think Cincy is more likely to pick up some Ls the rest of the way.

The ESPN playoff machine is totally different right? You can find out playoff seeding by manually choosing game outcomes. It doesn't run a model to predict outcomes like the NYT one.

Sadly at least for this season he is washed. I saw it with my own eyes. Maybe another offseason to heal and get back into game shape will allow him to be serviceable next season.

Jordan Phillips was good for some nice QB pressures from inside. He was literally always hurt though...so I guess sign him up for 4-6 games until he's back on IR?

This might be the worst defense in the Allen era, so no.

I don’t think Brady has been that great. We’re the only team to not completely torch the Ravens through the air. At the same time, being a great HC is more about being a great manager and delegator. Maybe Brady is good at that, idk.

Douglas is going to walk after this season, and Elam will be our starting boundary corner next season. The youth movement on defense continues.

It would be 2 firsts and a second I think. Something like Bills 2025 1st, Vikings 2025 2nd, Bills 2026 1st. Too rich for my blood, and we’d pretty much have to extend him to make it worth it.

It’s also protecting future cap hits as well. They need to replace these aging guys with rookie contracts. Von Miller needs replaced (maybe Solomon can do that, maybe they use that 1st round pick on a pure EDGE). Daquan Jones needs replaced. That would probably be a good use of the 2nd round pick from the Vikings… Dorian Williams needs to be replaced IMO due to performance, maybe we can sign a FA to do that. Or we could get one player for 2 seasons by using all of that draft capital and burning cap next season. All to have Mahomes pass all over our mid LBers and Safeties anyway because we have holes all over the roster.

Von Miller will be cut, Allen will be restructured (possibly given a new contract altogether). Oliver and Dawkins will be restructured. The cap will also go up. We should have +$40m in cap space next year. Edit: Also Knox could be a post-6/1 cut and save a nice chunk of cap. He’s Allen’s bestie, but he isn’t really earning his cap hit.

Our LBer play has been very poor this year. We play super bend-but-don’t-break defense in part to protect our safeties which is a super weak positional group. We have no pass rush. Adding Cooper is great, but the WR group is still pretty weak. Depth behind Taron Johnson (Cam Lewis) has been really bad, and Johnson has been injured a lot this season. If we break the bank on a pass rusher, Mahomes will just carve up our poor LBers and Safeties. This just isn’t an “all in” roster. It was supposed to be a re-tool year where we take our cap medicine and some younger players get reps.

All in would be trading multiple high picks for someone like Myles Garrett. It’s what the Rams did during their recent SB. I don’t think it’s the right move for this roster.

Cook’s drop and Allen’s called back running TD were the same drive.

Do we even have the cap space to do anything? I wouldn’t go all in this year. 25% of the cap is dead cap. Keep our draft capital and continue to build the team. Sign some great FA this offseason.

Chiefs don’t look that great IMO. We need to remember that the Bucs have a bottom-3 defense in the entire league. They were also missing their top 2 WR. Some 4th round TE was by far their most dangerous weapon. This was like if the Bills played the Jags with Brian Thomas Junior and Christian Kirk out. Would you have been satisfied winning a game like that at home in OT? I would think most people here would be disappointed in that result.

Curiously, KC seems to NEVER get a penalty late in the game during crucial drives. On the other side, their opponents seem to ALWAYS get penalties late in games during crucial drives. And when KC actually does get a legitimate penalty late in the game, Mahomes blows an actual fuse on the sideline. Crying, screaming, and acting hysterical. That’s how surprising it is to him to be on the wrong side of a penalty late in a game.

I think my least favorite play of the game was Hopkins flopping so obviously on a push after the play, and the ref giving him the 15 yard call. Isn’t it embarrassing for a ref to get fooled like that? This isn’t soccer ffs.

Crazy thing is, this guy is notorious. He led the league in penalties last season by a lot! This isn’t even the first prime time game where the most discussed thing is J. Taylor illegal formation and false starts being uncalled! It’s like the third one!

No way he goes for 2. In theory the Bills have a much better defense than the Bucs this year. In practice we know the outcome would be similar.

Especially with how tired the defense is at the end of the game. Just no chance.
