I hope Josh throws for 400 yards 4 TD’s 

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 

 

Numbers that kept popping into my head this week for Josh. 38-50. 432 yards. 4 passing TDs. 42 rushing yards. 1 Rushing TD. 41-17. 

 

Not saying that's my overall prediction but that's what kept popping into my head throughout the week. 

 

Also totally agree re: picks. Felt far more uncomfortable last week when people were actually picking us to win. Made it almost feel like a trap to be optimistic knowing you'd potentially be let down. I'm far more comfortable with the underdog role.

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.


we drafted Josh for this day (weather)

Top round is in the oven. Making weck roles in a couple hours. Raven tastes like cormorant so we’ll leave that to hardier souls than us. Couldn’t be happier that Baltimore D has been playing the 2019 game over and over getting their confidence up. A few surprises coming up for our opponent who lost to a team we beat twice and had the luxury of playing the NFC Easy. Game on!

Here's a thought: had we had a bye like we usually would have with the 2nd seed, not only would we be hearing how good the Ravens are but add in "can the Bills get their 1st playoff win since god created Earth?". 

 

So at least we got that out of the way :)

Hadn't considered it but, if byes were as usual we have all that hanging over our head this week instead of rinsing it off our souls last week. Thanks for the perspective!

I get the concerns: wind, snow, refs, scheme, match-ups, etc.

 

But *****, we're on the X in 4(-) hrs.

 

So I'll just say: Let's pole-axe these m-fers, and leave Raven heads on our battle-hardened pikes (or horns, your preference).

 

Umm, nothing personal v the nice R fans on the board this week.

Random tidbit - I wore my Bills jersey (Edmunds) for every game until the bye. On game day for the Chargers I accidentally left it at home. Because we won that game I haven't worn the jersey for any other games this season out of superstition, and we haven't lost a game since. So now I refuse to wear it until the end of the season.

This is important. Fans just shouldn't test stuff like this.

Snowing pretty well here in North Tonawanda. Sticking to the road.

Snows over, lasted 5 minutes, lol

Bradshaw is a tool. He’s still on the “Josh isn’t accurate train” which tells you all you need to know. 

Bradshaw is useless. Big slob with the IQ of a stone. 
He has no business being on any show

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.

 

 

For as good as this offense is I cannot believe how many times we are 2nd and 1 or 2 and I scream take a shot but they just try to bang the football for no gain.  I just do not understand how we don't take shots in that down and distance.

About to go to bed for a couple of hours here in Liverpool, UK. Need some sleep before the game which kicks off after 1am here.

 

What am I doing?! I'm leading a church service in the morning! 🤪 

 

Go Bills!

The Bills defense has gotten very little respect this week. They played a very balanced offense last week. Those tend to give them more trouble. The Ravens are dead last in passing. Worse than the Jets. The Bills give up the same ypc on the ground as the Ravens, but no discussion of that.

Yeah, you obviously should've cancelled service.

Man - Bradshaw just picked the Ravens by 9.

 

I can see the upset pick, but 9?

 

Bradshaw has had it out for Allen for some reason.  He was especially harsh in his post game "analysis" after the Chiefs game, yet he slobbers over no names.  He's dead to me.

This is a great point. 

 

I expect us to play much better vs a one dimensional offense.

Do we have any fan videos or photos of the weather in buffalo for us fans out of state?

It was snowing pretty hard for about 5 minutes. I’m 28 miles north of the stadium.

it’s wet and lightly snowing now.

Im pretty sure there will be some snow at game time. Weather forecasters are saying second half and more likely 4th quarter.

Imagine if Roman was able to have Jackson instead of Tyrod in our offense.  Him and Shady would've been a force behind Glenn, Incognito, and Wood.

Build up that big lead, then watch Lamar struggle in the snow

I live about 10 minutes from the stadium and it's breezy.  No snow yet.

I don’t get the bad rep because we didn’t run the ball well last week

 

 

only we did because they changed the game because Allen was given running lanes - had that been our running back are they going to shut up?

 

idk it was obvious they changed the game to go with what Indy gave us...qb draws...

Do you feel we just couldn’t?

 

or we abandoned because they were giving us lanes for josh to tear them up with their 5 v 5 and 6 v 6 scheme they were running 


our run game is terrible 

 

defensive schemes have nothing to do with that. I just as bad at run blocking

It’s below average for sure but last week they changed it up so they could get something on the ground and still got 96 yards

Sims did bring this up..."balenced" offenses are the kind we get gashed in the run on.

I say if he ever comes to a Buffalo home game we give him the Ditka treatment.  Old timers will know what I mean.
