Mahomes smoked them for 395 and 4 TDs... It never is automatic but I like our chances. They may fool him for a few series but once they have the answers they will be giving up a lot of points if they keep trying it. I hope you’re right.

Allen has the arm to throw it through the wind. Jackson does not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad conditions could prevent that The X-factor for sure, imho. Hope we can begin to replicate the strength that bad weather in January at home used to be for us back in the 90's, even continuing to put up good numbers through the air in snow conditions (example below, Bills put up a 44 spot, with Kelly passing 19/29, 339 yards, 3 TD's...) https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/K/KellJi00/gamelog/post/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes...you are right...we should expect a 40% completion, 10 sack, 5 INT game from him I guess. Edited January 14, 2021 by Big Turk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penfield45 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 59 minutes ago, MPL said: The Browns put up 42 on this defense in week 14. Jarvis Landry had a huge day and Baker made a ton of throws off schedule and out of the pocket. I think there's reason to believe that Josh and our WR corp can have success. Of course, the Ravens put up 45 in this game, even with Lamar taking a 10 minute bathroom break. I think our D is better than Cleveland's but who knows. This game could be wild. weren't the ravens missing a bunch of guys on defense that day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxcar Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 50 minutes ago, NewEra said: It is a good thing. Now he just has to be amazing vs the blitz on saturday. If he’s not, our season is likely over imo If Josh has any bad games from here on out, period, our season is over. We aren't the Saints. We live or die on Josh Allen's play, just like the Chiefs and just like the Packers. Similarly, if Lamar is ineffective running the ball, the Ravens will lose. I believe we will have more success stopping the Ravens run game than the Colts, because they favour outside runs which gets Poyer and Hyde involved.

The colts laid out how you beat buffalo, will the ravens use it? Another huge key to this game will be the field position battle, as long as buffalo doesn't get dominated in that stat I am pretty confident the bills win a close one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffaloboyinATL Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 1 hour ago, NewEra said: Their D is predicated on the blitz, where they led the league in blitz% at over 45%. Josh has been one the best, if not the best, QB in dealing with the blitz this season. He has made the opposition pay when they bring extra rushers all season. To me, this is the key to the game and why we will win. The Ravens are tied for worst in the league for giving up TD's when blitzing, with 16TD's allowed. Josh Allen is tied for the best in the league for throwing TD's when blitzed, with 16TD's. As you noted, the Ravens love to blitz, so they will and Josh WILL take advantage of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missing 2 corners well that’s why When healthy they have the best secondary in the league the game will come down to Allen and our WR’s vs their secondary. Forget about Lamar, if we can’t put points up through our pass game we don’t stand a chance. Lamar will get his yards, question is will we be able to match it Edited January 14, 2021 by Penfield45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This week my stress has been going down as the game draws closer. If Frazier executed last years game plan and Josh plays like this years Josh, I really like our chances. In my opinion, this game comes down to two things: 1. Josh be this years version and be prepared to carry the O 2. Replicate, as much as possible, last years D plan to limit Lamar. I believe if those things happen the Bills advance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Another key will be the "whiner" Harbaugh chirping all game along the sidelines to the refs. Do the refs toughing up or succumb to it. McDermott is much more subdued with officials. Harbaugh whines, and whines, and whines some more.

Aussie Joe Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 It goes without saying that JA needs to play well to win this game.: However he can still play well and they can lose..30 is not necessarily a winning score.. If the D has not improved from last week they lose.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
