Buffalo Ballin 114 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 As long as we don't come out flat to start the game. I don't want our offense to be going "3 and out" very quickly with the first 3 drives. And the Ravens can't score with their first 3 drives. - No fumbles from us. - No interceptions from us. - No easy field positions for Ravens to be within the Red Zone.

Giuseppe Tognarelli 1,751 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Picking the Ravens is completely reasonable. There are perfectly valid reasons to give them the edge. Anyone who's mad about someone picking the Ravens is just kind of uncool. You pick the team you think will win the game, not the team you WANT to win. Picks shouldn't be influenced by which team you're a fan of. All you overconfident and "I don't get it" folks have me very worried that a massive attitude correction is going to slap you across the face in 14 hours. If it happens, I'll try very hard not to name names and say I told you so, but you know who you are. Stop messing with our karma! Go Bills. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We still have a lot to prove. That's why we take the field. One of the official mottos this year is "Humble and Hungry." Tons of people are forgetting the "humble" part. Now, let's go out and try to win this thing. Edited January 16 by Buffalo Ballin 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SCBills 4,659 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Where are you two seeing all these over-confident fans? Half of this thread is gnashing of teeth over possible snow, wind, Ravens corners, Ravens blitzing, Lamar Jackson, Baltimore’s run game etc etc etc Im not over confident. I’m simply hopeful our defense steps up from their poor performance against Indy. I’m hopeful Josh Allen and the pass offense are up to the challenge against what the Ravens will bring. If those things happen, we win. If one or the other happen, it’s a close game. If neither happens, we probably lose. The Titans have a bad defense and held their own against this Ravens Offense. They lost because the Ravens shut down their run game and the Titans pass offense could not pick up the slack when they had to rely on Tannehill. That was the story of that game... and before that, Baltimore was annihilating the dregs on the NFL down the stretch. Josh Allen will have to be the best player on the field tonight. We’re getting to a point where week in/week out, he is. And if your QB is the best player on the field, and sometimes by a large margin, you have a good chance at winning any game. Seems weird that you’d have to resist saying “I told you so” to other Bills fans if we lose. I’d hope they won’t call you out if we win. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Again, not going to call anyone out, but I have five posters in mind right off the top of my head. They've been all over the board putting the Ravens down and saying we shouldn't be worried about them for weeks, going back to before the playoffs. And Twitter. Yikes. No one would have to say they told me so, because I've never said we're going to lose this game. I just think it's a coin-flip game that could go either way and we absolutely should recognize the Ravens as a formidable opponent. That is not the reverse of being overconfident and saying we're obviously better than them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I agree , but there are a few exceptions out there; Pros and media are getting paid to offer takes, so if there are gaps in their logic, this should get brought up and is fair game. Florio and Sims, espec Florio has ridiculous rational this week. Rodney Harrison basically laughed at him when he implied Bills spirits and psyche would be damaged after Colts game. He's cherry picked select stats to articulate his gut feeling. Sims is just picking Ravens to not look like a JA homer. His analysis was fairly spotty as well. Nick Wright; this guy is just a troll hot take guy who has found a vein of attention. Pete Schraeger; i didnt catch his take, but he was pretty affirmative we were the team to beat, now flops his vote. This year he's another guy in love with recency bias and "cold takes" that he switches / flops around on fair winds. He used to be the "writer" on the panel bringing everyone relevant data and research.....now he just kinda phones it in. Edited January 16 by RichRiderBills 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If we beat KC, it doesn't matter who comes out of the NFC, the talking heads in the media class will pick them over us. We just need to get used to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Ravens are the most one dimensional team in the NFL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And yet we kept Murray to 61 rush yards (his average is 51) and last year Lamar to 40 (when his average was 80) People were counting us out the first 6 games of the season because our defense was terrible, and yet, here we are. I understand John Harbaugh planned to whinge at the NFL that our DL was holding their OL last season and that's how we did it. I hope the NFL plans to look closely at any holding or DPI the Ravens may have been committing if so. Just as a team doesn't usually play as well as their highlight reel makes it look, I think you can probably find film of guys wiffing on every team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
