My hands are still shaking 

I'm still feeling electric,  I have off today, just been watching highlights and reading stats and tweets. 

Finally know what it feels like to win this type of game! Unbelievable 

That Josh - Keon connection will be special

I do...those MF's should be made to stand on the corner with signs saying "I left the Ravens game early" for 8 hours as their punishment before being allowed back in after embarrassing us on National TV like that.  Like this team, the standard is the standard for Bills Mafia and we did not meet that standard last night.  Unacceptable showing for Bills Mafia. When you set the bar that high, you can't settle for anything less.

 

Hah. I appreciate your perspective. Would be hilarious if they were handing out the signs as each person left.

I saw a lot of "thousand yard stares" from Raven fans at the airport this morning.

PFF seems to have it about right on best/worst players from yesterday here. Our linebackers were a worse position group than our safeties for my eye test yesterday.

For the first time, a McDermott defense actually stepped up and made plays when it matters. We normally fold there, so I’ll give them credit for an otherwise horrible game.

Has anyone rewatched this game yet?  My blood is boiling watching what looks to me like a pretty clear flowers drop with under 2 minutes to go in the first half that was seemingly not even reviewed. I don’t see much talk about it though so maybe I’m crazy lol
 

collingsworth was like ‘yea he got it’ and I must not have been looking super close watching it live and completely missed it 😂. Might’ve cost us 4 extra points…should’ve been plenty of time for a td 

Yeah that was bad - it also would have stopped the clock.  Things like that play and the grossly missed spot on the slide are things that absolutely should be flagged by the eye in the sky.  My criteria is if millions of people on their couch can see the call on the field is wrong then eye in the sky should catch it.

Wow, that was really close.

 

Rousseau came just as close to blocking the 13 seconds FG. Close only counts in horseshoes.

Loved Josh's post game interview saying they noticed fans leaving

 

"We saw fans leaving in the 4th. Thats ok. We'll be ok. Just have faith"

Reading various interviews today and in one of them Josh mentioned 3 times about fans leaving early.  I applaud everyone who stayed but I also think the leavers had the desired affect on the team, they clearly locked in when the stands started to thin out.  Maybe it was just a coincidence, maybe not.

Still a bit in awe.  How many times have we seen that exact game… only to miss the final FG, or more likely not force the punt with under 2mins.  It was just ..amazing to finally get the breaks (tipped pass to Keon!).  Just amazing. 
 

Crazy too when you watch last night’s game in comparison to pretty every game I saw part of this weekend.  It was closer to a playoff game intensity than a week 1 game.  The Ravens absolutely came in and played hard!  The Bills took it right on the chin and just kept coming back for another punch. Just incredible.   And lets be honest… no one truly expected us to win after Lamar’s incredible Houdini run for a first down followed by Henry exploding for yet another long TD. No one. I can blame anyone for leaving.  
 

I really hope we don’t see that team in the playoffs.  LOL  they’re good!  We’re good, too.  But I’m hoping for a KC cake walk type road to the SB, not another Ravens rematch.  lol. Just me probably.   But wow.  What a game!

 

Go Bills!!

LOL  Allen puts up over 400 total yards including 250 passing in the 4th and only gets a solid B Grade

That was an amazing football game. Reminded me of UGA/OK when Baker Mayfield was OK’s QB and UGA/OSU game when Stroud lead the Buckeyes. 
 

As to the Bills, my simple takeaways were the team’s lack of quit, which is great news for the season, the great early returns on Kincaid, Palmer and Coleman, plus the same issue on defense as last season.  However, any game facing the Ravens offense of Henry and Lamar has to be taken a little bit with a grain of salt.  No other team in the NFL, not the Eagles, Chiefs or whomever present the same issues defensively as do the Ravens.  The Eagles are the closest with Barkley, but Hurts is not close to Lamar’s level.

 

The key for the Bills defense is whether Bishop gets better and whether Hairston can step in at CB and add some desperately needed speed to the secondary.  Getting Hoecht back will help. 
 

The next 5 weeks will be a great opportunity for McD and staff to coach up the defensive secondary against beatable teams.  If they don’t improve, it’s going to be hard for this team to take the next step.

So was Lamar actually cramping or did he just take a play off because he got rocked?

WaPo take on the game.  Should be a guest article, readable without subscription

https://wapo.st/3JKf3O5

 

"The Ravens found a new way to dominate and lose"

Quote

How did the Ravens lose that game? Derrick Henry ran for 169 yards and touchdowns of 30 and 46 yards. Lamar Jackson passed for 210 yards, ran for 70 on six carries and accounted for three touchdowns. They started a possession leading by 15 points with 9:18 left. They led by eight with the ball with less than four minutes left. They led by two with the ball after the two-minute warning.

 

And yet they lost, 41-40, on Matt Prater’s field goal as time expired. Their secondary turned into ash. Tyler Loop, the rookie replacement for Justin Tucker, missed an extra point. Josh Allen refused to go away until he had thrown for 394 yards. Buffalo wideout Keon Coleman caught a miracle touchdown on a pass his teammate tipped. Henry, a man among boys all night, fumbled with 3:10 remaining, nursing an eight-point lead.
 

Henry’s fumble will stick in the mind. It brought to mind the three turnovers Baltimore committed in last year’s 27-25 divisional-round loss, in which they outgained the Bills 416 yards to 273. It brought to mind Zay Flowers’s goal line fumble in the 2023 AFC championship game. It brought to mind all the wrenching, numbing, gut-punch losses in John Harbaugh’s sterling-yet-unfulfilled tenure.

That is one ugly take down. Bet Jackson is feeling it this morning. Go Eddie!
