Ravens 2020

They are a pretty flawed team.  If the Bills lose,  it will be their own fault.  The Bills are a superior team, they are playing at home, and they have an extra day of rest.  The Bills will roll and it will be a convincing win.

Lock down Mark Andrews and I'm not too worried about that offense. Lamar will get his yards, just keep him under control and limit any quick strike bombs to Brown or Andrews. Our offense is more dynamic and should be able to put up more points. 

 

Also got to do something about Matt Judon. He had a great performance against us last year, seemed unstoppable and hit Allen a bunch of times.

There not a lot of good teams on that schedule. Only thing I would say is their strength matches up well with us. Their rushing game, our tackling vs Lamar and their Pass D.

Ravens only managed 20 points against the worst defense in the league.  We've feasted on top defenses.  The weakness of our rush D is exaggerated after holding Taylor to 3.7 yards per carry with a pair of fluke long runs by Hines off of broken tackles skewing the totals.  Held King Henry to 3 yards per rush earlier in the season as well.

The Ravens are less balanced on offense than Indy. You have to basically stack the middle of the field and tighten on their TEs.    They have a strong defense but their back is beatable when you get time to throw. The key is Josh’s improv and getting some screens and slot plays. I expect some of those quick Brown WR screens and McKenzie runs this weeks and lots of speed plays to cut down their pass rush. I truly think we kept some bland play book this week  due to field position and because we expected multiple playoff games.

We played them last year and they had a great game plan for Lamar which Tennessee used to beat them in the playoffs. Our offence just wasn’t anything close to what it is in 2020, and their offence seems to be regressing. Their running game does worry me though, we haven’t been great at stopping the run all year.

The Bills will get up big on them. I don't think the Ravens will have a choice.


We’re going to have to change the trend to do that.  Last two games, including the Dolphins massacre, we started out slow.

That is a recipe for disaster for them. Today was the first time Jackson has ever won when facing a 10 or more point deficit. If we can get off to a fast start we can really force them to be one dimensional. Titans started out well but couldn't push their lead and the Ravens came back

Every team is going to copy what the Colts did and try to keep Josh off the field...Bills get up and take away Lamars legs they win...Bills don’t stop the run then it’s a 4 quarter slugfest again

They would not let Henry beat them and put it in Tannehills hands and he couldn’t do it

Do the Ravens prefer zone or man? If it's man, good luck to them....Allen has 26 TDs to 2 INTs against man coverage and a league leading QB rating.

Tannehill never has been able to do it in those situations. Allen does it a lot. Many times because they don't even bother running.

There are no bad teams or even average teams left in the playoffs.  It's going to be tough games every week.  As it should be.

 

I don't think the Bills have played in snow this year.  Or the Ravens for that matter.  It's too early to get an accurate weather forecast for Saturday evening, but if there's snow it could really impact the play.

The Bills are the better team and are rightly favourites. But Baltimore is the definition of a team that is hot and dangerous and incredibly well coached.

 

The Bills will need to play better with a better plan than they did on Saturday. The margin for error in this game is slim.

This is the playoffs, it's doesn't really matter who they played in the regular season. 

 

The best thing the Bills can do is to help themselves and limit mistakes. Buffalo is the better team and they had a good game plan last year to limit Lamar with his legs. This also isn't the Ravens defense from last year. The Bills will need a better game this week than what they did against Colts.

we had a better D line last year. Much better.

Bills are favored for a reason. That line may have caught you by surprise. I'm sure it did to a lot of bettors. It's almost like Vegas wants you to bet Baltimore. I wonder why...

 

Home team is usually an automatic +3

Our linebackers are the same and they are the ones that will be key in containing Lamar.  The only D lineman we miss is Lawson in run defense.  

 

Phillips, Star, and Shaq were on last year's team. The Ravens are a running team like no other and the Bills D line has shown zero ability to own the line.

Tale of two halves.  They sucked in beginning of season but appears they have figured it out.  They’re on a 6 game win streak.  With our porous run D, this will be a tough game.

 

When the Bills focus and want to stop the run they are actually pretty good at it. Indy averaged under 3 YPC through 3 quarters until the Bills started playing pass up 14 in the 4th. Held Henry to under 4 YPC and his lowest rushing total of the regular season of 57 yards. Held Jacobs to under 50 yards and under 4 YPC...

 

Bills did a fantastic job against Baltimore last year limiting them to 250ish total yards of offense and 24 points at the height of their run when they were putting up 500 yards and 40+ points on every team. They should be able to do something similar. Baltimore doesn't really have anyone that scared you at WR.

Baltimore is better against the pass than Indy, but not nearly as good at stopping the run.  Buffalo on the other hand, isn't good against the run and Baltimore is by far the top rushing team in the league.  The Ravens had a weak schedule, but I still see this one being ugly.

 

Against the top 10 defenses in the league for points against, the Bills are 7-0 including wins over the Rams #1 and Steelers #3. Ravens were #2.
