Hell are we supposed to do against him?

Seriously.

His defense gave up 40. His receivers didn’t get open for three quarters. And he puts up 3 scores and 250 in the fourth quarter against a legit team.

what is anyone in the division supposed to do?

 

Honestly Fins should just petition the league to give them a loss when they go up to Buffalo. It will save both the organization and Fin fans from having to watch an absolute beat down administered by the Bills."

Kinda funny cuz the dolphins did that against the ravens themselves two years ago 😂. Crazy how far they’ve fallen since the first half of the 2023 season

 Very disappointed in Bills Mafia!!! Leaving stadium early in a two score game. Rookie DT ran on the field late almost cost us the game on last kick. MVPs are given the ball to win games. Ravens gave the ball at the end to their mvp and the player all defensive coordinators game plan against.

apparently Lamar Jackson told harbaugh he was cramping and then because of that harbaugh punted.  

 

I just heard this on WGR, my first thought is why on earth would jackson tell the media this?  This makes him look awful.

Those final 5 minutes was probably the best coaching I have seen from McDermott since he has been here. I kept waiting for him to burn his timeouts like a fool like he normally always does and he never did. And then to get the most important stop of the game when we needed it the most, and still be patient with timeouts. Very nicely done in that moment by him

Three times this season and last, I turned on the TV and expected to witness the Bills losing a game.  Only three times.  All Ravens games.  So happy to be wrong - again.

Maybe I'll learn to have some faith the next time we play them.

I’m currently in the Algarve in Portugal and woke up at 4 AM to try and catch the fourth quarter. The result on the field at the time was exactly what I expected, unfortunately. But I stayed watching because I was up anyways. So glad I did. I’m with you in the expectations regarding those Ravens games. Our boys keep beating them, but man, they are still a scary team.

Just got back from game.  

 

Shame on all of those who left early. 

 

Crowd was deafining without you.

 

Best home opener ever in my lifetime. 

 

We’re going to be undefeated and win the SB!!!!!

The ravens are so weird they have all the ingredients to easily close out a game and just can’t seem to do it.  This has been a problem for awhile now

Also historically, outside of a bake oven we've beaten them - but it's not like they've been run out of the stadium, they've hung in their and played us very tough

And conversely he was fast and aggressive with them late in the first half when Baltimore had the ball and it ended up getting us 3 points we wouldn't have otherwise.

It’s gonna be hotly debated im sure but I think not challenging the spot on that slide saved the game. Clearly wasn’t a great call but I really don’t think they would’ve overturned the call on the field.  It would’ve gotten bogged down in the whole ‘how do you define the start of a slide’ type stuff and I think they would’ve just left the call unchanged 

 

we also did something probably even more difficult than 13 seconds against them before halftime because of good timeout management/preparation  but it’s getting lost in all the craziness haha

figured someone started a thread already, but the arrival of Coleman is upon us.

We won this game by 0.1 seconds. That field goal to end the 1st half made all the difference.

Proud of you. 

 

(Proud of both of us.)

I didn't realize in real time how close a Raven was to blocking that kick at the end. He knew it, too - he put his head in his hands right after he just missed it.

 

Whew.  What a game.

they have maybe the best personnel in the history of the league to close out a double digit lead in the 4th quarter.  They don't even have to put a wr on the field and they can still run the ball effectively into an 8 or 9 man box.  They are like the redskins with riggins or dallas with Emmitt.  Get a lead late and the game should be over.

 

For some reason they kept throwing the ball!

I mean, Oliver ripped the ball away from the ideal, prototype, game-icing RB in the 4th quarter. So...
