He’s not overrated. Josh himself has said he considers himself a football player. I think a lot of us think he’s the best football player in the NFL, he’s likely not the best QB. I don’t love when Allen stands in the pocket stationary. He seems slow to process sometimes, then throws an inaccurate pass at the last second or maybe has to ground it or get sacked. I do love when Allen moves around and creates, gives himself options and sometimes scrambles. That’s Allen at his best.

I think a lot is being made of Baltimore mailing in this game in with backups. I still think they’d love to bounce the Steelers out and their backups are still good players including the QB, …and it’s in Baltimore. That being said, the last time Baltimore and Harbaugh won the SB was in 2012. They went into the playoffs losers of 4 of their last 5 games including the finale. So I don’t think Harbaugh is worried about losing momentum because of a loss, which kind of sucks.

You have to remember too, the Seahawks never play the Steelers. They weren’t prepared. The Ravens and Harbaugh, know the Steelers and Mason Rudolph like the back of their hands. They will get a crucial pick or two.

I don’t buy that theory. I’ve seen too many of his press conference and in game conversations on Mic’d up, practice video, etc. Seems like he’s dialed in and pumping up the guys. But the vet rest recently and lack of production and snaps, you gotta figure he’s hurt more than letting on.

Diggs was on the sidelines wearing a jacket during some big series of downs. It was weird. He has to be playing injured. Unfortunately.

There’s a lot of game/player strategy for both Miami and Buffalo that will be determined by the Sat night and Sunday afternoon results.

Diggs and Josh are two guys that never like to show pain or any type of tweak, to the TV cameras. They are both banged up for sure.

First off you only have so many players to play, therefore many regulars will be starting vs Pittsburgh. Secondly, the Ravens more than any other club have plenty of backups who’ve played meaningful games over the past two seasons, including Huntley and all the RB’s. People think Pittsburgh is going in there and will beat up the Ravens? no way. it may be a Steelers close victory but could also easily go the other way.

By the way, on the second last offensive drive when Allen ran and dove with the ball carelessly out (Bills fortunate to recover). Allen got absolutely rocked on his head by a defender as he was going backwards. So much so, that he lie on the turf while the scramble for the fumble was going on and was holding his head and grimacing. I thought he was concussed for sure. Then he comes back to finish the final series only to bang up his shoulder.

Miami will go hard. They want to win the AFC East and 2 seed, BUT, no one can convince me they will be as desperate as Buffalo (assuming Pitt and Jax win their games). And that desperation will separate the teams at the end. Allen will be able to spin the ball much better in mid-70’s weather down there.

On ESPN, Rex says he trusts Josh Allen vs Miami, but he has no trust with the rest of the team especially the offense. He doesn’t know who else will show up and play big for the Bills. Orlovsky says Kincaid and Diggs need to have big games (combine for 170+ yards)

Yeah but if either Pittsburgh or Jax lose before our game i thought the Bills back in. Then the Miami game would be for the AFC East title.

281 yards of offense today. Gross.

I thought the game was at Jax. Since it’s at Tennessee they definitely have a chance. The titans can be a problem

That’s a good idea. The emotional hedge bet. I’m gonna do that. I’m happy to pay out $50 for a Bills playoff berth. If not, ease my pain with some $$ in return. I’ve done that a few times this season on specific Bills games but not 3 gamers.

Except due to injuries over the past two seasons most everyone on the Ravens has played and contributed, even Huntley the backup QB. The Steelers will not roll Baltimore. Pittsburgh could win, but either way i think it will be very close to the end.

If Buf wins, I actually think Miami would beat KC in their rematch even at Arrowhead. If the Bills lose and still back into the playoffs, i think we’d play Miami again. I don’t think the Phins wants back to back Allen games. Will be a crazy day next weekend.

The Ravens are not laying down at home to Pittsburgh. Plus Baltimore’s backups and QB have played important snaps this season and last season. The Steelers will have their hands full. Harbaugh knows they can’t lay down like dogs for 2 weeks then flip a switch and turn it back on.

Let’s also keep in mind that Allen mentioned in the post game presser how the ball came out of his hand poorly today. He could not get the spin like he normally does. He struggled. Down in Miami Gardens next weekend it will be mid-high 70’s. Perfect throwing of the pigskin conditions. Josh will throw it well. Much better than he did today. It’s a lock. And the Oline will be super motivated.

Who is Miami likely to play if they lose to Buffalo and which seed would they be?

the Bills tend to move the ball well in South Florida. and with Allen you never know and the D can be opportunistic. I think the Bills have a better shot than i probably think as of tonight, and i also think the Ravens, even without extreme motivation will beat Pittsburgh. They don’t want to lose at home to anyone especially the Steelers.

Yeah, it’s totally Lenny Fournette time in that role. Murray got himself benched today, although i didn’t concentrate on his pass protections, which is part of the reason he comes in.

Pretty cool the win sets up 1 game for the Division title and the 2 seed. But very painful a loss may end it after all this hard work and win streak.

Steelers fans must be pretty irate over wasting a couple games with Trubisky when the answer was in the building.

Josh is going to have to play with whatever injury because the Miami game is looking like a legit playoff game. Win and in. Lose and likely go home. If Kyle Allen has to play it’s prob over.
