Best kicker in the league doinking 2 FGs is not good for the psyche Harbaugh acknowledged the wind affected both teams, so no problem with his comments there. Tucker's reactions to the misses were great. Just in total shock. 😆 The article said that the wind turned a game with two prolific offenses into a defensive struggle. That was supposed to play into the Ravens' favor, considering they were regarded as the best defense over the last 6 weeks at least. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, Wink didn’t bring the heat like usual and that’s a credit to his respect for Allen who’s been killing Cover 0 and Cover 1 looks all year. I can’t believe they totally removed Beasley from the game and gave Diggs as much single coverage as they did. Right on. Beasley think still is hurt. Hoping heals fast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a very rough night for PKs, and we saw quite a few passes get away from all three QBs. No need to get all defensive about it. He was also specifically asked about the wind. It wasn’t like he went up there looking for an excuse why they lost. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Bills would have lit them up otherwise. Agreed. The overthrow from Allen to Diggs they keep showing it looked like the ball just gets swept away toward the sideline. Pretty sure the win played a hand in that one and likely a few others. The longer the ball was traveling through the air the more the wind was going to carry it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie's Dead Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 That's an understatement. Both kickers combined to be 1/5 on FG's. 12 points not on the board. Allen and Hundley with big overthrows on sure TD's going with the wind. Impactful? Yeah, you could say that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wanted to blanket our short passing game and dare the Bills to throw over the top and the fact the wind was playing havoc with the deep ball definitely helped them get away without being burned on that. It did help us on that late Huntley throw but even if he hits that I am not sure it changes the outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except this time it was mostly the wind.........last year Josh couldn't hit a deep ball regardless. The conditions REALLY played into the Ravens hands but oddly enough it was not being able to snap the ball in the wind that really killed them. Mekari was losing his mind out there. He tried to adjust but nothing worked. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CincyBillsFan Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 It's amazing how ignorant even ex-players can be when they start working NFL media. If you told me that high winds would make any throw over 20 yards a crap shoot then I would have feared the Bills losing by 10 points. By any rational consideration Warner has to understand that the Ravens were greatly aided by the gale force winds. Buffalo's win is all the more remarkable because of the winds. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amaru523 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 The only thing that worried me about this game was the threat of weather, I thought that favored the Ravens pretty heavily, so any of these jacktards suggesting the wind hurt the Ravens more are loony. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'd be like, well, okay.... When they did the tracking on the throw Allen had to diggs or brown and how the ball was left and went right it kind of showed how much the wind was actually in play.

billsfan89 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 13 hours ago, dave mcbride said: I dunno. It clearly impacted both teams. Both kickers missed two makable FGs and qbs for both teams badly overthrew wide open WRs for sure TDs. The wind did impact the game. The coach was also asked about that specifically and I honestly don't know what he was supposed to say. The wind did impact that game. Not only did both kickers miss kicks that they most likely would have normally made but the ball was hard to throw and I do think some of the Baltimore drops were the result of the ball moving in a weird way they aren't used to. I think the game was a fun odd ball game and the wind was the direct result of that. Playing in Buffalo in January is hard and part of the home field advantage is to know those winds and play better in them. No shame, plenty of places like Green Bay, Chicago, New Jersey (for two teams the Jets and Giants), Baltimore, Pittsburg, New England, Cleveland, Washington, KC, Denver and Philly all play outdoors in cold weather cities. That's 13 teams including Buffalo that play in those conditions or just about 40% of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a stupid take. The weather took away our biggest advantage (Allen’s arm) and played to their biggest strength (run game) and we still beat them by 2 TD’s. The better team DID move on.
