Murph is prone to exaggeration. It was only 101 yards not 102. Such a homer. 

I bet the jab at humor, but I’m convinced Murph is right and the official NFL ruling is wrong, robbing us of another AllTime Playoff record. Johnson’s feet were 3 yards deep in the endzone so even if his hands/the ball was only 2 yards deep, it’s still the new record.  

 

Alas, woe is me..

Don’t they review all games and  stats?  Could be it gets corrected.

Beautiful Sunday. Birds all happily chirping and what not.... our Buffalo Bills are playing next week, 1 more game to determine the right to play in the Super Bowl! I'm just so proud and it's well deserved for this franchise and it's fans.

 

Would love for the Browns to pull off the W and the Bills host the AFCCG. My eyes water at the very thought.

Is there a reason why we don’t run that 4-3 defense more? 
 

McDermott helped take the panthers to the super bowl in a 4-3. Why do we insist on using a two LB set so much?

🤦‍♂️ Less talking, more watching may give you the answer..

Lately as I watch on TV I find myself screaming "show the game"! 

 

Too many closeups and stat cutaways in between plays.

 

100% agree. They come back from commercials right to the snap within a second too much now too.

Congrats from Cleveland. Well deserved win for you guys. Buffalo has always been a class franchise and fanbase. Cleveland fans will never forget how the Buffalo was one of two cities that stood up for us while the NFL stole our old Browns. Enjoy the win Bills fans and hopefully we will see you next weekend.

I had the opposite reaction. The wind is blowing down long passes, yet Daboll keeps calling them for the entire first half. Based on McDermott's post-game comments, I suspect he told Daboll at halftime to knock it off. If the Bills had lost, Daboll would be excoriated on this board--for good reason. The ten-yard passes appeared to be there all game, and what success the Bills did have passing was due mostly to them. It seems to me Daboll's all-pass plan was stupid under the wind conditions, and, worse, he didn't change it when it failed, at least not until half time. My sense was that a more balanced attack of runs--even very short ones--and short passes might have led the Bills to a lopsided lead by halftime. Frazier and McDermott are the heroes here. We don't need a goat, but let's just say it's lucky for Daboll the Bills won. That first half was bone headed on his part. 

This 10 yard passes would not have been there without the Shot Plays. The Ravens would have started squatting the routes.

A point I had been thinking about too.  Those plays kept the DBs on their toes. They had their game value.

I think they adjust these kinds of plays after review sometime this week

Because most teams play 3 and 4 WR at a time. The Ravens are one of the few that do not

all of those beautiful touch passes by Lamar really suffered because of the winds.

Right? The team that won the game did so by committing to the pass game in that weather. It's basically the worst excuse I've seen so far.

Between today's comments and the recent "Allen's levers are too long to have ever consistently good throwing accuracy" statement, Kurt Warner has quickly become one of my least favorite analysts. What a boob.

Hey Kurt: the wind didn't limit Lamar Jackson's running ability, the Bills defense did. If anything, the wind only slowed the BILLS down, and they would have won more convincingly if not for weather.

I will admit that my fandom which goes back to the late 60's has waned over the last 20 years of mediocrity. I no longer am invested as I once was.  That being said, when Johnson intercepted the pass and was around the Bills 20 yard line, I jumped off the couch and started yelling GO!

I honestly can't remember the last time watching a Bills game in my living room, that I had that same reaction.

 

It was kind of like at a horse race, when the pack comes around the final turn, and shot out of a cannon, here comes the favorite, and he leaves the field in the dust.  That horses name...Taron Johnson.

 

Maybe my fandom still have a little life still in it.   :)

 

Two down, two to go.  Survive and advance.

I mean it wasn't that windy.

Yes, a good point. Maybe fewer shot plays then. It seemed the Bills could have put this one away in the first half, and the long bombs on most every drive cut short most drives. Hey, I'm just glad they won.
