Can we, somehow, make this about McDermott and why we should have hired Ben Johnson this past year??

You know we can.

Almost blew a huge lead in that SB win too.

Ravens front office has gotta be pissed…I feel like they put a historically incredible team together every year and they oftentimes can’t even get by the team that can’t get by the chiefs lol 

 

there is not a team more well suited to protect late leads than the ravens and they just can’t do it

I don't personally think this is a topic we should be dwelling upon

I probably have the details wrong but I think we were down 20 at the half to them at Baltimore in 22 or 23 and came back in that one too.

This part I agree with. The only real thing that came out of Sunday night is we have a game lead on the Ravens and Chiefs with the tiebreaker over the Ravens. If the Bills do well enough to have a shot at the 1-seed, it'll likely come down to some form of a tiebreaker.

Since mcd has been around I think we’ve blown as many late two score leads against all teams total as the ravens have blown against just the bills lol. It’s honestly pretty wild. 
 

Seeing as Harbaugh can’t beat the bills or chiefs and keeps throwing these kinds of games away with probably the best roster for closing out games I just don’t understand why his seat doesn’t seem as hot as mcd’s. That superbowl win is becoming a more distant memory every year

this puts us in a great spot for the 1 seed.  The Bills have the easiest schedule of the "big 3" of Buffalo, Balt and KC.

Yea I’m all for not getting ahead of ourselves but with the sh*tshow the afc north is gonna be I feel like this game was massive and people aren’t really understanding how huge that comeback win was.

 

the bills could be the worse team overall and are still very likely be the better seed than Baltimore based on this result.  KC is still an unknown but there will be a game where kc and Baltimore play eachother and someone has to lose.  KC is the big one now because we really want the situation where kc and Baltimore play eachother in the playoffs and we get to just clean up whoever wins that battle lol. Have to out-seed both teams to do that

I said this in one of the other threads but I think despite the explosive nature of the Ravens, they seem to wear down in games.  Everyone does but it seems to happen faster for them, which might point to a conditioning program issue?

I was saying it all game…seems like they flood the middle of the field against the bills and give us all the underneath stuff.  Then by just sheer force of will they fly all over the place rallying to the underneath throws and eventually gas out as the game goes on.  Reminds me so much of Atlanta vs NE in the Super Bowl and really seems to be the common theme in their blown leads

 

People are hand waving the result away blaming the fumble but maybe in this alternate reality where Henry doesn’t fumble the bills get the ball back and hit on the two pointer to tie it anyway   
 

i get the underneath throws got frustrating for fans but that’s the feeling DCs want Josh to get too…they’re trying to get him frustrated and forcing passes into high traffic areas
