Did Harbaugh ask Lamar if he wanted to go for it? 🙄

Ravens now get the Browns, who are also playing for their season.

And that's why Allen is so much better than Jackson. 

 

Wait, because he failed a 2 point conversion at the end?

 

Also, the subject of your username almost gave the Ravens the win 😜

[Ross Murdock]

OK Bills, most of the games went our way tomorrow. Patriots are now (Sadly) currently the ONE SEED. Bills would be the TWO seed IF they win tomorrow! Tomorrows game COULD NOT be bigger for a week 13 game.  GO BILLS.. The path has been laid!!   

[ChronicAndKnuckles]

What a game. My my

[BillsfaninSB]

Now we need a little magic by the Broncos. 

[Process]

I would not be surprised at all if the Ravens miss the playoffs. They are not a good team, and could easily lose 4 out of their last 5 games.

Exactly.  I would say it is a very important game for Baker and his future as well.

Not sure I follow what you mean...

[loveorhatembillsfan4life]

So Gutsy of a call..I’m just not sure at this point in the season is the time to roll the dice..

 

Harbaugh couldn’t trust his team to

beat the Steelers in Ot? 

 

Do the Analytics support going for it

considering their schedule, playoff seeding etc? 

[BuffaloRebound]

I love the decision by Harbaugh.  You’re on the road and Steelers dominated the 4th quarter.  

[Beast]

I fully expect a thread by Filthy Beast saying what a monumental win this was for the Steelers and how they clearly know how to win in December and January and will probably edge the Bills out for a playoff spot.

Lol, what were the Ravens trying to prove with that? You have to respect your opponent enough to take the points. I hope the Bills learned their lesson from the Jags and Titans games.

Going by the numbers it’s absolutely the right decision, just as it was right for us to go for it in Tennessee rather than kick the FG.  
 

No problem with the decision.  Glad it worked out the way it did, too.

Yep.  It was the right call both by analytics and by what was going on in the game.

I'd be furious if I was a Ravens fan.

 

I don't care if it's on the road. The Ravens are the better team.  You take that game to OT.

 

That’s where I don’t always like analytics. The odds might be in your favor, but I think having a feel for the game is just as important. If I’m an underdog, and I’m lucky to be in the game, of course I take my chances with two yards. It’s easier to get two yards than stop the opponent, or drive the length of the field on offense. However, if you’re the better team, you’re reducing the game to one play that can be very random. The stats don’t measure how much a two point conversion is almost like a soccer penalty kick.

Yea they’ve played an extra game still the whole ‘if the season ends today’ thing doesn’t apply until their bye week 😂

How big is tomorrow night? If #Bills win they are lead in AFC East and Number 1 seed Conference. If they lose they would be out of a playoff spot heading to Tampa

Huge games the next 2 weeks.

Almost all of this is incorrect.

[mjd1001]

I watch games like this...or when Pitt plays Cleveland...or Cincy....and I still can't just wish the Bills were in a division with those teams, and not the AFC east.  I know, I know, everyone is excited for tomorrows game.....but to me seeing the Stadiums, the uniforms, the fans, the weather, I just wish the Bills were in a Division with Pitt and Cleve and Cincy instead of the Jets pats and phins.

Playoff machine has Titans number One seed if we win and us as two seed. We stay at Seven with a loss. 

Still a huge game for us. 
 

There is also going to be so many big conference and divisional games over the remaining weeks that it wouldn’t surprise me for a week or two to be on the outside. 
 

Doing our part solves all that though.

Tomorrow’s game is huge. Win, lose, or draw, I don’t want to hear anyone trying to convince us it wasn’t huge after the fact. This team needs the win. It’s a season defining game, and this is the rare case it’s not hyperbole.

Ravens didn’t look like the better team in 4th quarter.  If there were a real time spread on the overtime, Steelers would’ve been favored to win.

Bills have the better QB at home. They have no business losing this game.

Lose a close one and they still have a shot at the playoffs with the weak schedule ahead.

Get blown out like they did against the Colts and I will start the fire McDermott thread.

The Ravens lost makes Monday night a battle for the #1 seeded eell as leader of the AFC East

I mostly agree, but we have three tough games remaining, and three “easy” games. The playoffs aren’t out of sight with a loss tomorrow, but I’m not sure even fans can consider us contenders if we don’t take care of business at home.

That’s fair, and that’s probably what Harbaugh took into consideration. The Steelers had momentum, and he wanted to end the game. I just like the two pointer when you’re more of an underdog. I guess I didn’t believe Big Ben would lead another scoring drive. I fully understand what your saying though, good point.

I don’t even think that tweet is accurate. Only would have happened if the Raiders won today which they did not.  How would the Steerlers leap frog the Bills at 6-5-1 if the Bills drop to 7-5?

I think Catalans is mistaken.  If we lose we will be 7-5, tied with the Chargers and Bengals and (if they were to win) the Broncos.

 

I’m not the one to consult about seeding, but I think we’d be seeded behind the Chargers and Bengals based on conference record and ahead of the Broncos for the same reason.

 

But yes, Get It Done
