Stupid guys on CBS postgame make it sound like it was Harbaugh's fault they lost the game vs. giving any credit to Buffalo in the comeback.

I agree with them. The way we were playing, and based on our record in close games, a FG lead would have been almost insurmountable. 

 

The pressure would have been on. We would have passed on all of our remaining plays until we were in FG range making us one dimensional and predictable. Josh would have forced things he shouldn’t. And besides, short of an INT by us, we would have been starting the drive way inside our territory.

They're forgetting the calls missed by the officials prior to then? So much holding and a massive OPI, if I recall correctly.

 

Yep even if we lost I would have zero problems with the refs this game.  They called it the same both ways and thats all I ever care about.  Ravens got away with some too.

The first half game thread was one to forget. A lot of you should be ashamed at the amount of ignorant crying and whining.

I see this post often so not singling you out

 

It's an anonymous message board, it's what you're always going to get; deserving or undeserving 

 

People aren't going to whine and complain to their family/friends they are going to let it out on a message board

Yeah it really shouldn’t be a discussion. Going for it is the right call. Really lousy execution on the play is the real culprit. Your downside on that call is an incompletion and the Bills start pinned against their end zone. Not a pick in the end zone to set us up at the 20.

Even if they kicked the FG.  Bills still drove down and could have went for a td instead of a fg.

Bills had every reason to fold the tents and go home and make the "it's just not our day excuses".

 

Instead they did what they did in TB last year and said F this we are going to take over.

 

Didn't finish last year, they did this year...

 

A lot of streaks broke today by the Bills...

 

Broke their 8 straight opening drives with a TD, broke the double digits winning streak and most importantly broke the streak that they couldn't win a one score game.

 

Also kept a few streaks alive...all 4 games the opposition has gone 3 and out on their opening drives of the second half. And possibly their first 2 drives.

 

Miami is the only team to have scored at all in the second half against us. They got 7 points. The other 3 games the D allowed 0 points. That is pretty damn impressive.

 

Also the Bills have not allowed a team to gain over 300 yards all year...Baltimore finished with 296, only 134 passing

We did that regardless and could of easily scored a TD for a W.

 

The Ravens D had zero answer to the Bills O the 2nd half.

Milano was a sure tackler and managed to get Lamar in space a couple times. Edmunds got caught flat footed against Lamar on that one 3rd and long run but overall I thought he played well too. Don’t be surprised if we extend Edmunds and keeping running this duo. Even at the expense of Poyer. 

cept that poyer won this game...  two ints.   hard to give up his playmaking

I believe that roughing call was legitimate. The Ravens player broke down and stopped when Allen threw it. He then took A free shot at Allen, regardless of how weak it was. Injuries could have happened for absolutely no reason. The defender KNEW Allen threw it and there was no momentum carrying him forward. He chose to grab Allen and take him to the ground for no reason.

 

The only bad call was the non call for interference.

Cook really isn’t getting the opportunities to show what he can do yet I mean I get it they’re making him earn it and he’s making some mistakes but players mature at different rates

All the guy has to do is to catch a pass.  It's ugly, no lie.  You have the privilege to play on a team with JA17, and you get that ***** done.

The injury bug continues to hit this team. Poyer looked to be shaken up and Crowder and Mac left the game. Hoping Poyer is OK and Mac likely with a concussion can clear protocol. Not sure what Crowder's injury is but I think he might miss sometime. At least no other players had any significant injuries.

I clearly disagree. But the point is moot. 

 

You can disagree but facts are facts.  Also you called it a game changer when it was first down on the Baltimore 41 with plenty of time left.  The outcome without the penalty would likely be the same.

He did, and he is a leader. But he is getting older. If he wants to take a team-friendly deal I’m sure we could work something out. But if he wants all-pro money at his age we have to say goodbye. That’s just the business. This regime has done an excellent job coaching up DBs. We will figure it out.

Cook's been a collosal disappointment so far.  Starting to agree with the folks who have criticized his demeanor/body language.  Doesn't seem to fit with our company culture.

 

We seen to specialize in coaching guys up to be much better in their 2nd and 3rd years so I'm not too concerned. Just tell him to hold onto the ball for now and unleash him when he gets more experience.

I remember games like this happening a lot with the Jimbo led 90s teams.  Tasker told us he taught the team how to win.  That's JA17 today.  

the fact he is SO athletic and SO smart it is awesome to see him with a worthy supporting cast. Motor was his usual slippery hard to bring down productive self. And my boy Dawson Knox wth catches AND that monster block in the 4th quarter. That's my Boy!~!~!!!!
