Dang, just saw the local Maryland weather. Sunday will be the worse of the weekend weather. Heavy steady downpours from late morning till night. Winds 15–20 gusting to 45. Really crummy day reminiscent of the 2018 season opener.

I think i’ve heard more Jalen Hurts MVP talk than even Lamar. But both are talked about more than JA that’s for sure. I guess that Miami loss took Josh out of the equation.

On Wednesday the local news down here (Balt area) said that Saturday would be worse, with heavy downpours through Saturday night and Sunday would be light and intermittent. Now it's changed and Saturday doesn't look terrible but Sunday looks to be very rainy. Bring the rain gear for this one.

Some on social media are saying McDaniel should be fired for playing Tua last night. I'm not ready to go there. The team doctors and independent evaluator(s) are supposed to check the guys out and clear the players to play again. How is a head coach supposed to know if a guy is medically ready to play? He is not a doctor?

It’s about time Macaulay Culkin got them into the end zone. Way to go Cinci.

Dang, Miami could be 4-0. And beat some heavyweights. I just don’t see them winning the division but their schedule is pretty easy as the season goes on.

Cinci is out of sorts. They definitely don’t look as good as last year. Miami is dangerous but not scary at all. If the Bills don’t get completely obliterated due to injuries, they would handle either of these teams in the playoffs

I’m too conservative. Still early in the game. Points are critical. Good FG kicker. Take the 3 and move on. I’d kick that every time.

And then the underthrow, Pfffffft

Pretty ridiculous throw by Tua there. Gotta give him props on that.

Cinci had better tighten up the D or this game will be close.

Tua’s getting the ball out fast!

Davis and Kumerow won't play i bet.

Many of the top teams in passing efficiency are the top NFL teams at the moment. Yes, a running game is useful and important, but we would much rather have Buffalo be a top tier passing team which they are.

Weather Channel makes it look like Saturday will have heavier rain in Baltimore than Sunday. But Sunday still estimates about 1/4 inch of rain there. So it will be wet for both teams. I don't think it benefits either side over the other. The Ravens don't have the crazy balanced rushing attack that they've had in recent seasons. Now it's all Lamar. Stop him and you stop them from running.

I don't even recall Ingram being a factor at UB all that much. Maybe he was hurt? I don't know. I recall Cam Lewis being very good. Some of the older Vets would come to Buffalo, chasing rings!

Look, whether people want to blame McDermott & staff for being unprepared in the biggest moments...or if they want to defend this streak as "unlucky", it's a real thing now. And i bet it's keeping McDermott up at night. Monday Night Countdown last night had an entire segment on the Bills inability to win close games. Cowherd had a segment on it, NFL Network, Get Up, etc... The pressure is mounting and they need to figure it out. It's likely that Baltimore, KC, Green Bay, Miami, Cinci, etc.. will all be games that go down to the late 4th Qtr..

How would I do?, I would not have been in the game because i would have had both my legs broken, concussed and my spleen ruptured on the very first play of an NFL game. Respectfully, as a fan you are allowed to second guess decision making. That's all anyone does after a Loss. No one questions the effort and the heart. Is Peyton Manning allowed to Monday Morning QB? Even he commented on the telecast last night. Said he used to teach his WRs to either go OOB, or they would use the play "No Mas". That's when the receiver catches it and drops to the ground to preserve time to clock the ball. He said was specifically referring to what McKenzie "should have" done.

Yeah, it's a shame McK got the yips there. I watched the replay 50 times. When Allen made that great escape from the pocket, Isaiah caught the ball at Miami 49. #21 for the Phins lunged and just missed the tackle. Mckenzie running full speed had a clear path to race out of bounds at the Dolphins 45. Watching the replay at game speed, he would've made it, Instead he did a quick stutter step juke, and that was enough for Howard to catch up. Bass probably misses a 62 yard kick, but it would have been a chance at least.

We can all appreciate this stat. But a team with a knockout punch as good as Buffalo's and a roster this stacked, Must be better than 0 for 7 or whatever it is recently. It's hard to look at them as the Super Bowl favorites with those last 7 swings and misses.

Should have used his jet speed to run straight out of bounds.

Milano is great. He goes 100mph and hits so hard I feel like he will get hurt with every contact... or maybe even hurt a teammate by accident.

Pretty big competitive disadvantage for TB if the game was moved out of Tampa. And they are already scheduled to play a "home" game in Germany. I figured all along that the NFL would re-schedule it not relocate the game. It's not like that hasn't happened in the recent Covid years.

It was 2nd and 1 from the Miami 6, 2:40 remaining and Motor plowed ahead for 4. 1st and goal from the Miami 2, 2:36 remaining and Motor plowed ahead for 1. Two minute warning, 2nd and goal from inside the Miami 1, and the play call is not Motor plowing ahead. It's Allen going backwards taking a 1 yard loss. An exhausted Allen throws 2 incomplete passes and that's a blown opportunity that hopefully won't cost the Bills the 1 seed.

Another lousy weather game this week, it's supposed to be rainy and breezy (15-20mph), high of 68. Remnants of hurricane Ian. I'm sure the guys will like this much more than roasting on the verge of heat stroke.
