My stomach is tore up already.  I have never been as nervous or emotional before a game that I can remember.  Barely slept last night, threw up at 2am, woke up drinking pepto bismol to prepare my stomach for what is to come.  No way I can make it through this sober.

So happy that this is not a Josh Allen tweet.

I think it hurts Baltimore more than us ...

 

100% agree.  Yes, the Ravens have the better running game - but it's not like they can abandon throwing.

 

I'll take Josh's arm over Jackson's in the wind every day, all day.  

 

And if the Bills get any kind of lead going?  HUGE advantage for Buffalo...

After digesting all the articles and videos and analysis all week, thinking long and hard about this matchup, and now seeing that weather won’t be an issue...

 

Bills 34, Ravens 26

 

Big day for Motor Singletary and big day for Allen.

I hope that wind knocks the ball out of their arms while running all day.

I disagree with the thought that a windy evening hurts the ravens more than us, but it does allow us to completely sell out to stop the run.  Now, will we sell out to stop the run?  No clue, but it could help us as well if we do.

My hope for today: 

 

Live or die by the aggressive passing game. I don’t care if they lose and go down in a blaze of glory, but I swear if I have to watch this team run TJ Yeldon up the gut to a loss, I’ll freaking lose it. 

 

3 runs in a row on that one 3 & out last week was like deja vu back to the "old days."

 

We are who we are.  I hope we don't see any more of that, at all.  Just go for it.

Didn’t Jim Kelly used to throw up before every game? 

Yes he did. He had a Friday to Sunday tradition with a bunch of players also. 

 

Not that the tradition carried that long for the other players but he did, including coffee with frank at a specific table at a restaurant that they took with them on away games during the playoffs.

where are we getting that wind won’t be an issue.  I’ve just looked at a handful of sites and each of them had the wind being minimum 15, maximum 25 with gusts up to 40mph.  
 

im in Vegas, using the interweebs to keep me updated.  Is it not supposed to be windy

And each run was right at Deforest Buckner and behind Boettger

If you are watching the NFL Network pregame shows, the on field reporter at Bills Stadium has her hair blowing around.  The flags are definitely moving.  Its windy there already.

I was more worried about precipitation, to be honest. 

 

For whatever reason, the wind doesn’t scare me like wet, soggy conditions do. Allen should still be able to grip the ball well.

for a team that makes it living throwing the ball downfield. Wind is the true devil.  Josh says he prefers to throw in snow.  Rain, on the other hand, could really suck for the WRs, but wind could be detrimental to a team looking to beat the 0 blitz all game

I’m not sure why but for the past 15 years or so...I just despise the Ravens. They always seem like such punks and are rarely as good as they are credited. I absolutely hate them. I’m very excited for this game and i know it will be tough. The Bills are the better team, they are at home, it’s been an amazing season. If Josh plays the way he has all year, we are going to be tough to beat. I feel like the Ravens respect is starting to go a little to far nationally. If the Bills can get ahead, I don’t fear Lamar as a passer. Go out there and just keep putting the work in. Let Lamar get all the credit, we know what Josh is. Go out and just bludgeon these guys. Go Bills!!

I fondly remember them knocking the Pats* out of the playoffs one year

Yeah - for all the people saying wind won't be an issue bc of Josh's strong arm - on long balls it doesn't make any difference how strong your arm is - once it's way up in the air it's going to get blown all over the place.   Will make us much less multi-dimensinal if the long ball is taken away by the weather.

yeah it’ll affect the shot plays where you need to loft a rainbow over the DB’s head if the receiver gets a step. That’s just one of Allen’s ‘deep’ balls though. People forget he can basically throw 30-40 yard lasers on a rope down the field with pretty flat trajectory. Those will be just fine.

Not really because the Ravens still need to worry about him launching it. They can’t assume he will be scared off by the wind. And that opens up other parts of the field

He's still gonna launch it regardless of the wind.  I know we shied away from it against the pats earlier in the season but I think Daboll knows he needs to let Josh do his own thing.

Exactly. Everything is on the table in a “win or go home” game. Even though I think we need a solid game from Motor, you just can’t shy away from what got you here.

Which is why you're also going to see more Josh Allen runs as it gives us an extra blocker.  Even though some fans hate it on here.

I'm cool with it in playoffs, but not so much in the regular season.

I love the unscripted runs.  some of the scripted stuff, eh. But in playoffs he can run as much as he wants...just hang on to the damn ball.

That's my concern with the designed runs. Well both runs but designing runs gives them a chance they shouldn't have to strip him. 

 

Him running off script has the same thing but he's more dangerous at those times.

Anyone else have the cleanest apt/house you have had in a while? 

 

I'm about ready to start ironing socks. 

Just got a flat tire on my work truck , sitting and listening to WGR while rearranging all my tools it never looked so clean and organized in years 🤣 , just can’t sit still this game can’t come soon enough

Allen played his college ball in Wyoming, he is used to it, plus he had had 3 years to learn the wind at Bills Stadium.

 

Maybe he will imitate Kelly Vs the Eagles in 1990 where he had better accuracy throwing against the wind.

I not sure ive ever seen a 2 seed being picked to lose in the second round as much as we have. You would think this Ravens team was undefeated this season. I shocked almost no one is giving us a chance. I dont get it.

To be honest I kind of like it , I would be even more nervous ( if that even possible) if everyone would pick us to win

bit of an odd year. The difference between the 2 and 7 seeds was razor thin. If the ravens hadn’t been all covidy against the Steelers, they may have ended up being the 3.

I will just be glad win we get a running game so Allen want have to take those hits. Next year should be a big focus and on a defense edge rusher
