Right. Babich needs to address that. Crazy that he didnt have a contingency plan in place already. Everyone was caught out of position in our "disguise" all night, it was just highlighted on the Bishop play. Or maybe Babich has addressed it and his plan is "just run the play as called no matter where you are", and if that's then case we may have Dorsey 2.0 on our hands.

Yes, agreed. If I'm looking at it from just a football fan perspective, keeping it open and keeping the tailgates alive in OP was a good outcome. But if I'm thinking about the bigger picture, and as a Buffalo resident who wants the best for the city overall, a closed building downtown was the best way to go.

Yeah, the questions on Babich are starting to mount and it's only been one week. I get that the Ravens have great talent on Offense, but it wasnt just about a DB not being able to tackle Henry. The Ravens had a good gameplan for our Defense, lining up fast and snapping the ball quickly while the Bills did their usual "disguise the Defence, Bernard making calls, Rapp making coverage calls" and trapped us out of place and uninformed for most of the game. And the worst part is, we never got out of it. There was no contingency plan on what to do if teams go fast, and no adjustments made. Case in point: On the Bishop long blitz, he was either coached to blitz even if they catch us out of place, or not coached on what to do differently. Bobby better get it together.

I'm upset for the people that work there, and for the rest of us taxpayers that pay their wages while the Walton family rakes in Billions from scamming America.

Way too much faith in the refs overturning their call. McD has been burnt on obvious spot challenges before, multiple times. It's probably the worst use of the challenge flag. No matter how obvious.

AKA the American working class.

Agreed, I said it at the moment of the slide that he started too early. Wasnt surprised with the spot at all. Spot challenges are so difficult to overturn, I dont mind McD holding onto that time out to use later.

THERE IT IS

If you're a local Buffalo resident, you'll pay about $100 total across the next 10 years to absorb the stadium cost. Worth it to have the Bills in such a small market. But if you want to talk about the lack of dome and not being downtown, let's light that fire!

Agreed, and even if they dont make it, the Bills are so close to scoring you might as well let them score quick and get the ball back with 1:30 and all your timeouts. What a crazy game with soooo many little decisions, bounces, and outcomes that if any one of them changed, the entire night goes way differently.

With the Walton family as owners, it's absolutely "public money" one way or another. The Walton family grifts BILLIONS of dollars off the backs of the American working class. They scrape 2x-4x more money off the tax payers subsidizing their poverty wages every year than this stadium will cost them.

Lamar mentioned to the Baltimore media that they would have gone for it on 4th down but "he was cramping". Whether it was really cramping, or hurting from that hit, or that hit caused the cramping... who knows, but I think it's pretty certain that hit prevented them going for it on 4th one way or the other. Great game by Ed. If he keeps this up we may be looking at a big extension this offseason instead of a restructure.

Given all the offseason talk of Cook not being able to block, you'd think Josh would have just called a Time Out so we could swap Ty Johnson into the game... OR we just do exactly as I imagined and slip Cook out into space and get the ball to him quickly so he doesnt need to block and we can make the defense pay for leaving him open. HE DOESNT NEED TO BE ABLE TO PASS BLOCK!

Johnson isnt going to stand for it much longer... Bears gonna Bear tho

I give Arthur Blank a ton of credit for implementing "Fan First" pricing at their new stadium. Of course, ticket prices are triple what they are in Buffalo, so that evens it out. But for folks that can find cheap tickets, or get them through work, it makes it very easy to take the entire family.

That's the same conclusion for every team tho. We lived it here for a long time too. It all starts and ends at the owner level. If that isnt on track then the FO and team will never be. I know Bears fans are hoping the McCaskeys sell now that Virginia passed. It's their only hope.

It doesnt matter if he re-established himself when it comes to catching the ball. Once you step out for any reason, you cant catch it. Coleman must know this, and he must know where the boundary is and control his body better. Pushed or not.

"Allen has a defense that makes plays. So Allen actually has help from his Defense" My brother in Christ, the Ravens were up 40-25. What "help" did the Bills defense give?

It wasnt even all of last year. He saved all his brain farts for the KC playoff game, since thats when it's best to just completely melt down.

Maybe, but that's tougher to do with the short field. Most likely it's score a TD quick, or get stopped and kick a FG quick. Those passes took a ton of time off the clock. Haha, yep, that tackle basically won us the game, because I dont think Coleman had the awareness to go down at the 1yd line.

Yep. With these two teams, it's who has the ball last, wins. Same with our KC games. The Ravens proactively chose to put us in a situation to have the ball last.

But the reality is, for 3.5 quarters Josh wasnt better. Or at least the Bills offense wasnt better. Until the Ravens coaching decided to focus on killing the clock, get too conservative, and changed their defense which is exactly what allowed Josh to hit Palmer and Coleman on those 2 plays.
