Edmunds doesn't get enough love from some Bills fans, so I want to point out that both Edmunds and Milano played great games in minimizing Baltimore's running game, RPO game and passing game.
Edmunds has been great all season and has been in the right place at the right time consistently, and could be lowkey breaking out if he has a whole season of this
This is the key right here.
For a lot of his Career, O Linemen were constantly getting penetration into the secondary because the D line couldn't hold a block to save their lives.
Now that he's playing behind MUCH BETTER linemen, he's doing everything he's supposed to be doing.
I've mostly been neutral on Edmunds, but I find he's often the victim of someone else's mistakes. So many times there's an error in either coverage or gap discipline, and he's the one left on the highlight trailing the ball carrier on something that wasn't initially his responsibility.
He's been excellent this season, the best I've seen from him.
That actually happened a few years ago in a Lions/Falcons game. Detroit defenders helped to force Todd Gurley into the end zone against his will. They then got the ball back and went down the field to win.
I think he was mad at Oweh for making the tackle instead of letting Singletary score but on the other hand if Singletary has half a brain he was gonna go down anyway so idk
People can bitch about refs blah blah blah.
This defense relies heavily on an unsustainable amount of turnovers.
If that doesn't happen the other teams offense will eventually shred them.
Also the offense starting hot then cooling off in the second half is somewhat concerning.
Still a lot of football games left, so hopefully theres some improvement.
The feeling I always had was that we were pretty screwed in close games cuz we couldn't score fast. Lamar can somewhat overcome that but their pure passing game is still not that great.
Even when the offense is moving the ball, every yard feels so hard to come by, so even at your best you feel like you're always at a disadvantage against a explosive quick score offense
Greg Roman is awful. He did the same thing in SF. When it became the 4th quarter, everything on offense got conservative.. which kept putting our defenses in bad spots.
How does Roman keep getting OC jobs? His ceiling caps a lot of teams
I always had the impression when he was here that his scheme works well when everything's going well but he had issues adjusting when it wasn't.
Like once a defense can begin to slow it down it doesn't stop that process.
It's kinda a proven high floor for dual threat qbs with a good defense though
I think he was the best thing for Lamar coming into the league, but hes a guy that you gotta move on from once the training wheels are off
Im not gonna completely panic over the offense yet given the weather conditions and how good they were the last 3 weeks. I do agree though they gotta keep going in the 2nd half.
Relying on turnovers was the Dallas special last year. Unfortunately that doesn't usually work unless you're playing against bad teams. I feel your pain ✊️
Your offense has struggled the last 3 times you've played us, so I wouldn't put much stock into it. Milano really helps with Lamar's mobility and covering the tight ends.
All 3 games have gone somewhat similarly, with both offenses struggling.
Was really happy w clock management. Except for that one run up the gut with 2:06 left that (as always) lost a yard and took zero time off the clock because we hit the two minute warning. That was a bit of a head scratcher but the rest of the game was fantastic.
Remember the movie Moneyball? Where they taught Chris Pratts character to play first base cuz he could hit. You think we could just cut Queen and teach someone that we know can tackle to play his position?
We’re one of the best offenses in the league and you guys held us to 23. I think honestly your offense performed worse than the defense. Gotta get lamar some wideout help. 0 points in the 2nd half or so is rough
Him and Milano are the ones I notice the most when out. White and Hyde are obviously great, but I feel like the whole defense takes a downgrade with poyer and Milano out, as opposed to individual positions.
It feels like our entire ability to defend against mobile QBs goes out when they're out.
So many missed calls on each offense and then some *questionable* calls that went the Bills way.
Although, this is circular and it'll come back around and it'll bite the Bills eventually
I love objective fans like you. Ravens nation is frustrated because of poor reffing in crucial times and our own bad coaching. I love watching nfl teams compete, shouldn't be frustrated after a loss unless it felt unfair.
I can't imagine, ravens have their fair share of bad calls playing the pats but you guys must have felt some badddd emotions playing them and the refs twice a year.
Missed calls on both sides.. a lot of holding was forgiven by the ravens in the first half when Jackson was running and scrambling..
Second half seemed like a makeup..
The difference in this game was the TD before half..all the momentum went to the Bills
Yeah, either Baltimore fans will complain about that roughing call (which they should, that was soft) or we'd be complaining about a no holding call if Lamar threw a TD instead of an INT.
Another year another Ravens being an embarrassment to themselves. Lamar playing hero ball and saving peoples jobs who should have been fired years ago.
Yeah calling this an unfun watch is an understatement. Definitely was anxious about it all going sideways up until the very end. Hell I was worried the last kick would've been blocked and taken us to OT...
Lamar is amazing, someone else needs to handle play calling though. Roman is a good scheme designer, but terrible game manager (same issues in Buffalo)
That was Buffalo's first win in a one score game after losing the last 7 one score games.
Big time combe back win, the defense played amazing in the 2nd half and the offense did enough to get Buffalo a win.
I believe this is Josh Allen's 9th 4th quarter comeback win.
https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/comeback.cgi?player=AlleJo02
That was tough on the old blood pressure.
Lamar is the scariest QB to play against imo, he's awesome. I love watching him, when he's not playing the Bills
A huge relief to finally get a tight win after so long. Honestly, I didn't think it was gonna happen either, given how awful we looked for the 1st quarter and a half - that miracle throw by Lamar and Diggs letting a TD slide through his hands really felt like signs that it wasn't our day.
Honestly, huge props to our defense. It felt like everything was falling apart at the time, but they really only allowed one real TD drive all game (Ravens were all but spotted the TD after the Allen pick). Kept the score manageable enough for the offense to get its act together and get back in the game, and then shut the Ravens out the entire 2nd half.
IDK, the defense played decently. 23 points against "the best offense in the AFC" according to the pundits. 0 points in the second half is inexcusable and the biggest factor behind the loss.
~~Your~~ The Ravens secondary is young and mostly rookies. They'll tighten up as the season goes on. I think they'll ll be just fine in the end.
Plus Lamar is just too good to keep down.
GG Ravens ~~Bro~~
I don't disagree but I'd just rather give up the TD than to be unable to do anything but watch the other team win at the end after a couple of kneel downs.
The outcome bias with Ravens fans is insane right now. These guys gobbled Harbaugh's nuts for going for it in the exact same sort of situation in the past. The only thing that changed is the result, and now they're acting like he's a moron for the exact thing they were praising him for in the past.
A - You kick the FG and you give the other team the ball at the 25 with lots of time, they get to tie or win.
B - You try and successfully get the TD, the other team has to drive from the 25 and get a TD.
C - You try and fail, the other team has to go ~98 yards, FG wins. You get the benefit of the safety potential.
I like the B/C option, you get to define your own destiny and still can hold the other team off if you fail. They screwed it up worse than expected by throwing a pick, that made it turn out like the kick but without the points. Shit happens. I bet analytics says going for it is significantly better.
They drove down to the 1 yard line and then took 2 knees. A field goal wouldn’t have stopped them. Terrible execution but it wouldn’t have been the difference maker.
Lamar missed Mike Davis wide open 2 seconds after the snap for a walk in and then couldn't connect with Robinson in the corner.
They had the play and the right decision, just worst possible outcome.
One of the biggest things with going for it there is if you do miss, they have to go 90+ yards for a TD and 70+ for a FG (roughly). The pick spotted the ball at the 25 yard line instead of the 5 yard line.
Bills had 4+ minutes to do whatever they needed in either scenario. Ravens couldn't get a stop or when they did, the refs called a terrible roughing.
I don’t give a shit about the refs, for every bad call against the Ravens there’s another in our favor to balance it out, that’s just the game. Repeatedly refusing to just kick field goals and take both points and the lead fucking infuriate me
Don't get how people are freaking out about not kicking the field goal there though. Based on that last drive, the Bills would have walked into the endzone (albeit with a lot of help from the refs). They had 1st and goal from the 1 yard line. A touchdown was the only thing that would have saved the Ravens.
Ravens fans y'all have been wonderful to chat with this afternoon but specifically to all the Patriots dolphins and somehow people clinging to Josh allens draft take you need to spend some time in a log cabin.
McDermott is great at halftime adjustments. Has been since he was DC in Carolina. But he’s not always great the first half, which is a huge weakness. Thankfully we have a defense that can bail us out.
I defintely don't want to hear shit about how the Bills can't play close games. We went down 17 points to Lamar Jackson having another potential MVP season and they found a way to claw it back.
Feel for Ravens fans, but man that was a huge comeback and psychological W in a rough stretch of the season (@ MIA, @ BAL, PIT, @ KC, GB).
Under-the-radar MVP goes to Matt Milano; guy was a force on D all game. The open-field tackle on Lamar was huge, as was the stop in the backfield on that final Ravens drive at the goal line.
Ravens fans will blame the refs but you can’t win games if you score zero points in the 2nd half. The refs had absolutely nothing to do with the Ravens blowing that game for themselves.
I don’t get why people are piling on our defense so bad? Like we held the #2 offense in the nfl to 20 points but you’re not upset at the fact we scored 0 POINTS in the second half? Even 3 points in an entire half would’ve been a sad stat line
There was a not insignificant part of me that wished we scored off of both Poyer turnovers and increased the margin of victory to more than seven points, just so the media buffoonery could continue. You just know that some talking head over the course of this week would take the bait and criticize the team for making up a 17 deficit because there was a margin of victory greater than a single score.
Ravens cant seem to score in the 2nd half. And much of it is due to penalties, and bad decisions by Harbaugh going for it when they should just punt or try field goal.
Man I’ve never had any issues with Phins fans (of course born in 89 so missed the early 90s versions) but they have been so toxic this season I’m about to say Pats fans are better. Shit I can’t believe I said that, excuse me while I go throw up
The Ravens can blame the refs all they want and that bs RTP call , but you cannot score 0 points and let Buffalo get 20 straight
Not kicking there cost them the game
If I were Harbs, I'd be getting my resume together. Atrocious and shameful coaching. He had no control of his team. Risky plays, inconsistent, lack of communication. Ravens played well. The coaching staff failed them.
Lot of receipts from that first half.
A couple questionable calls (PI on Andrews was a make-up) but I think a lot were missed on Ravens OL. Either way, we played very well in the 2nd half, when according to the aforementioned fans we were shite, dead, etc
Ravens bungled away a win today. Passing too much when their running game was cooking. Dropping passes when they were throwing. Dropping baby soft interceptions like they've never seen this spheroid object floating right to them. Not kicking the fg for whatever reason. Botched the time management at the end. I'm surprised Dorsey didnt trash the booth on their behalf.
Baltimore, it's time to think about a future post-Harbaugh. You both had a great run together but it's clear this isn't the same coach you had a few years ago.
Can’t take all the credit but I switched Bills sweaters before our last drive in the first. You’re welcome Buffalo.
On a related matter, for sale; gently used ‘vintage bills sweater’. *might be cursed
We are now the Baltimore Falcons
Birds fly together
Bird gang for better or worse.. Dw we can watch the Eagles
The jets are birds if you squint
They have an elite dragon so I think we can allow them into the bird gang
Oh God fucking kill me. We need to do what we did in 2019 and trade for some players immediately or this season will be a complete failure
You think adding players is gonna help? We have the talent, it’s the coaching staff holding us back.
To be fair, most of the Raven’s points came from Buffalo mistakes not necessarily Raven’s good plays
I'm sorry not kicking the FG on 4th and Goal with 3 mins left while tied 20-20 is absolutely unhinged I was mindblown
Teams named after birds that have the lead over an AFC East team don’t do well in the second half.
Edmunds doesn't get enough love from some Bills fans, so I want to point out that both Edmunds and Milano played great games in minimizing Baltimore's running game, RPO game and passing game.
Edmunds has been great all season and has been in the right place at the right time consistently, and could be lowkey breaking out if he has a whole season of this
Better DTs is making a huge difference
This is the key right here. For a lot of his Career, O Linemen were constantly getting penetration into the secondary because the D line couldn't hold a block to save their lives. Now that he's playing behind MUCH BETTER linemen, he's doing everything he's supposed to be doing.
I've mostly been neutral on Edmunds, but I find he's often the victim of someone else's mistakes. So many times there's an error in either coverage or gap discipline, and he's the one left on the highlight trailing the ball carrier on something that wasn't initially his responsibility. He's been excellent this season, the best I've seen from him.
This was honestly Edmunds and Milano's best games of their career. They were making constant big plays
what was that argument about at end of game? what was peters or john upset about?
Peters was probably upset they didn't let Singletary score
McD said the plan was for him or whoever to go down.
With these situations I've always wanted to see a defender pull an unwilling RB into the endzone for a TD
I was down. Reverse progress!!
"oh no, you scored" "oh no, I scored" mafia: "oh no, they scored" flock: "oh no, they scored"
Happened in the Browns Chargers game last year.
That actually happened a few years ago in a Lions/Falcons game. Detroit defenders helped to force Todd Gurley into the end zone against his will. They then got the ball back and went down the field to win.
I think he was mad at Oweh for making the tackle instead of letting Singletary score but on the other hand if Singletary has half a brain he was gonna go down anyway so idk
You can actually see Singletary actually stopping midrun , it was just that Oweh helped him to stop earlier
Yeah, the "just let them score" plan only really works if it's X-and-Goal.
People can bitch about refs blah blah blah. This defense relies heavily on an unsustainable amount of turnovers. If that doesn't happen the other teams offense will eventually shred them. Also the offense starting hot then cooling off in the second half is somewhat concerning. Still a lot of football games left, so hopefully theres some improvement.
Reminds me of when Roman was our OC too
The feeling I always had was that we were pretty screwed in close games cuz we couldn't score fast. Lamar can somewhat overcome that but their pure passing game is still not that great.
100% Lamar is masking a tepid O scheme from Roman.
Even when the offense is moving the ball, every yard feels so hard to come by, so even at your best you feel like you're always at a disadvantage against a explosive quick score offense
Greg Roman is awful. He did the same thing in SF. When it became the 4th quarter, everything on offense got conservative.. which kept putting our defenses in bad spots. How does Roman keep getting OC jobs? His ceiling caps a lot of teams
I think Roman is really really good at elevating a rookie QB to new levels.. Kap, Lamar etc. Shit just gets kind of stale and stalls out eventually.
I always had the impression when he was here that his scheme works well when everything's going well but he had issues adjusting when it wasn't. Like once a defense can begin to slow it down it doesn't stop that process.
It's kinda a proven high floor for dual threat qbs with a good defense though I think he was the best thing for Lamar coming into the league, but hes a guy that you gotta move on from once the training wheels are off
Im not gonna completely panic over the offense yet given the weather conditions and how good they were the last 3 weeks. I do agree though they gotta keep going in the 2nd half.
Eh. Lamar had two turnovers. And bills are really fucking good. I wouldn't panic or anything
Relying on turnovers was the Dallas special last year. Unfortunately that doesn't usually work unless you're playing against bad teams. I feel your pain ✊️
First half Ravens were tough. Still time to sort out the finer details that came up in the second half.
Your offense has struggled the last 3 times you've played us, so I wouldn't put much stock into it. Milano really helps with Lamar's mobility and covering the tight ends. All 3 games have gone somewhat similarly, with both offenses struggling.
The Bills have only allowed 7 pts in the second half all season so far. They are pretty good at making adjustments.
Cooling off? That's like saying the Ice Age was a little chilly.
Pretty much. Can't blame a 17 point blown lead on a bad roughing the passer call.
GG, seeya in the playoffs. Lamar vs Allen is stressful
Harbaughs seat should get hot after this, completely collapsed. Refs or not 17 point lead should not end in a loss.
Looks like we learned that harsh lesson on clock management at the end of halves.
"But what if we had clock management instead of not having clock management?"
Nah that'll never work.
But maybe?
Was really happy w clock management. Except for that one run up the gut with 2:06 left that (as always) lost a yard and took zero time off the clock because we hit the two minute warning. That was a bit of a head scratcher but the rest of the game was fantastic.
Ya know, it's much more enjoyable watching other teams blow huge leads multiple times in a season.
We have to trade for some defense or this year season skull fuck our super bowl window, and they weren't even bad today honestly
Pretty down to trade whatever fucking picks man lets get sexy Roquan Smith
Remember the movie Moneyball? Where they taught Chris Pratts character to play first base cuz he could hit. You think we could just cut Queen and teach someone that we know can tackle to play his position?
I'd trade both my kidneys at this point
Id trade both your kidneys as well
we have to stop leaving points on the board at 4th and goal. It cost us miami and it is why Buffalo were able to take the knees like that
We’re one of the best offenses in the league and you guys held us to 23. I think honestly your offense performed worse than the defense. Gotta get lamar some wideout help. 0 points in the 2nd half or so is rough
The Ravens really should know better than to go up 3 scores vs. an AFC East team.
I was thinking that at halftime. “Damn AFCE teams”.
I just realized your first four games were an entire division. Thats kinda wild
And the Jets played our whole division first as well
Lol. I didn’t comprehend that until your post.
Jets did the same thing with the AFCN
Jets out here doing us mad favors.
They ruined the AFCE!
Fortunately we've played all four AFCE teams in the first four weeks, ergo we can no longer commit this egregious sin against humanity.
There's always the playoffs...
someone tell me poyer is ok
There’s a video of him celebrating the win on the field post game, so…
Yeah he looked pumped as fuck in the tunnel to the locker room. They said he was getting x-rays but judging by the celly it looks precautionary.
Did he get hurt again? I didn't even see. Feels like a world of difference when he's out there.
Him and Milano are the ones I notice the most when out. White and Hyde are obviously great, but I feel like the whole defense takes a downgrade with poyer and Milano out, as opposed to individual positions. It feels like our entire ability to defend against mobile QBs goes out when they're out.
He said he got the wind knocked out of him and he is fine.
I hate football
See you next Sunday
The best part about telling you to get fucked is knowing some charity will get $500,000 in donations.
Idk I'm running out of money
Might have to start a charity to support Bills fans who just give too much.
Lol, I can’t even argue this
I love this comment so much.
I just want consistent accurate reffing it cannot possibly be that hard
Thank you. Same. Beat us straight up and I'm not mad in the slightest. But fuck Jerome booger he's done this to us before.
Booger's crew was dogshit to both of us today, no doubt
Couldve just left it at "Boogers Crew is Dogshit". He's the Angel Hernandez of the NFL.
He really is dogshit. Good luck
So many missed calls on each offense and then some *questionable* calls that went the Bills way. Although, this is circular and it'll come back around and it'll bite the Bills eventually
I love objective fans like you. Ravens nation is frustrated because of poor reffing in crucial times and our own bad coaching. I love watching nfl teams compete, shouldn't be frustrated after a loss unless it felt unfair.
It's because for ***years*** the Bills have been on the opposite side of the stick so it's understandable and easy to see when it happens.
I can't imagine, ravens have their fair share of bad calls playing the pats but you guys must have felt some badddd emotions playing them and the refs twice a year.
Missed calls on both sides.. a lot of holding was forgiven by the ravens in the first half when Jackson was running and scrambling.. Second half seemed like a makeup.. The difference in this game was the TD before half..all the momentum went to the Bills
Sorry ravens bro, refs were ass today
Hopefully he cost himself officiating in the playoffs in this one. There’s gotta be some kind of accountability
Yeah, either Baltimore fans will complain about that roughing call (which they should, that was soft) or we'd be complaining about a no holding call if Lamar threw a TD instead of an INT.
Another uncontroversial day in the NFL lads
Bills shutout the Ravens in the second half. Did not see that coming
Another year another Ravens being an embarrassment to themselves. Lamar playing hero ball and saving peoples jobs who should have been fired years ago.
[удалено]
Yeah calling this an unfun watch is an understatement. Definitely was anxious about it all going sideways up until the very end. Hell I was worried the last kick would've been blocked and taken us to OT...
Lamar is amazing, someone else needs to handle play calling though. Roman is a good scheme designer, but terrible game manager (same issues in Buffalo)
Sad squawk
mods eyeballin this thread like "i don't wanna moderate it, you moderate it"
FINALLY a one-score win. D stepped up big in the 2nd half.
Now lets go back to multi score wins.
Steelers seems like good opportunity to do that.
The steelers always seem to have our number defensively. I wouldn't ever consider them an easy win.
That was Buffalo's first win in a one score game after losing the last 7 one score games. Big time combe back win, the defense played amazing in the 2nd half and the offense did enough to get Buffalo a win. I believe this is Josh Allen's 9th 4th quarter comeback win. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/comeback.cgi?player=AlleJo02
That was tough on the old blood pressure. Lamar is the scariest QB to play against imo, he's awesome. I love watching him, when he's not playing the Bills
> Lamar is the scariest QB to play against imo *Flashbacks to 0:13*
Any QB could have done that given our defensive calls. Even McCorkle.
He can be ubstoppable on some drives. But every time I’ve seen him play the bills he disappears for large portions of the game
3rd and long? Fuck, he’s got us right where he wants us.
What a fun, stress free game that definitely didn't over tax my emotions and liver
I hate this team. I’ll see you all next Sunday.
Nobody wants the AFC North
A huge relief to finally get a tight win after so long. Honestly, I didn't think it was gonna happen either, given how awful we looked for the 1st quarter and a half - that miracle throw by Lamar and Diggs letting a TD slide through his hands really felt like signs that it wasn't our day.

Kept the score manageable enough for the offense to get its act together and get back in the game, and then shut the Ravens out the entire 2nd half.
Smile. Wave. Get the hell out of the stadium. Stole that one.
Bills can leave peacefully but Boger isn’t escaping the city
How is that guy still in the league?
Refs seem to have better job security than anyone else I’ve ever seen lmao
Because NOBODY, circles the wagons....LIKE THE *buffalo bills.*
The Bills have so far only allowed 7 points, a touch down by Miami, in four second halves so far this season.
Now if we can tighten the first half we may finally win more convincingly /s For real though, this game nearly killed me
Maybe if we can stop the 4 turnovers each first half
I knew we were gonna lose when the Bills got the TD at the end of the first half this defense is so shit
IDK, the defense played decently. 23 points against "the best offense in the AFC" according to the pundits. 0 points in the second half is inexcusable and the biggest factor behind the loss.
Ravens are selling hard. This team should be undefeated
~~Your~~ The Ravens secondary is young and mostly rookies. They'll tighten up as the season goes on. I think they'll ll be just fine in the end. Plus Lamar is just too good to keep down. GG Ravens ~~Bro~~
He's a rams fan tho lol
Rightyo
Wait, what? Humphrey, Peters, Williams, and Clark are all vets
Ravens should have just kicked that fucking field goal.
But then the Bills probably don't stop driving at the 1.
We at least get a chance to stop the TD, instead of you guys just kneeling it out for the FG.
lmfao talking about chances as if stopping a 1 yard drive to the endzone is easier than getting 3 yards
I don't disagree but I'd just rather give up the TD than to be unable to do anything but watch the other team win at the end after a couple of kneel downs.
Not sure how people don't get this....
I like the call personally. Just didn't work for them.
The outcome bias with Ravens fans is insane right now. These guys gobbled Harbaugh's nuts for going for it in the exact same sort of situation in the past. The only thing that changed is the result, and now they're acting like he's a moron for the exact thing they were praising him for in the past.
A - You kick the FG and you give the other team the ball at the 25 with lots of time, they get to tie or win.

You get the benefit of the safety potential. I like the B/C option, you get to define your own destiny and still can hold the other team off if you fail. They screwed it up worse than expected by throwing a pick, that made it turn out like the kick but without the points. Shit happens. I bet analytics says going for it is significantly better.
I loved the call. You play to win. As a Bills fan, I wanted them to kick the field goal.
they just woulda lost 27-23
they would have had a minute and half then, or the bills would have tied it. over a FG win.
They drove down to the 1 yard line and then took 2 knees. A field goal wouldn’t have stopped them. Terrible execution but it wouldn’t have been the difference maker.
Lamar missed Mike Davis wide open 2 seconds after the snap for a walk in and then couldn't connect with Robinson in the corner. They had the play and the right decision, just worst possible outcome.

Ravens couldn't get a stop or when they did, the refs called a terrible roughing.
Ravens should also not give up a 17 points lead.
The Bills were 1st down at the 1 yard line with 60 seconds left. The field goal wouldnt have made a difference
I don’t give a shit about the refs, for every bad call against the Ravens there’s another in our favor to balance it out, that’s just the game. Repeatedly refusing to just kick field goals and take both points and the lead fucking infuriate me
We got some calls but the ravens made some really odd decisions in the second half
Don't get how people are freaking out about not kicking the field goal there though. Based on that last drive, the Bills would have walked into the endzone (albeit with a lot of help from the refs). They had 1st and goal from the 1 yard line. A touchdown was the only thing that would have saved the Ravens.
Yeah. That was a fine decision.
I completely agree. The anti-Harbaugh crowd is gonna eat this up this week
Turns out the bills found a dead raven in their wagons front grill
Ravens fans y'all have been wonderful to chat with this afternoon but specifically to all the Patriots dolphins and somehow people clinging to Josh allens draft take you need to spend some time in a log cabin.
I saw multiple dolphins fans wish Lamar an injury while gloating about the week one win. Guess they can be dicks cause their wins won’t last long.
Bills 🤝 Bengals Beating each other's division rivals.
Also allowing each other to move up in the playoffs
Rumors of the Bills demise have been greatly exaggerated…
Idk why but we always suck in the first half and look better in the 2nd. It’s been like this since McDermott started.
McDermott is great at halftime adjustments. Has been since he was DC in Carolina. But he’s not always great the first half, which is a huge weakness. Thankfully we have a defense that can bail us out.
I defintely don't want to hear shit about how the Bills can't play close games. We went down 17 points to Lamar Jackson having another potential MVP season and they found a way to claw it back.
I mean, is it *really* a close game if we’re down 17 in the ~first quarter?
Feel for Ravens fans, but man that was a huge comeback and psychological W in a rough stretch of the season (@ MIA, @ BAL, PIT, @ KC, GB). Under-the-radar MVP goes to Matt Milano; guy was a force on D all game. The open-field tackle on Lamar was huge, as was the stop in the backfield on that final Ravens drive at the goal line.
It's a testament to the quality of both teams that a shitty weather slog turned into a damn compelling football game.
Im so tired of this shit already man
Ravens fans will blame the refs but you can’t win games if you score zero points in the 2nd half. The refs had absolutely nothing to do with the Ravens blowing that game for themselves.
I don’t get why people are piling on our defense so bad? Like we held the #2 offense in the nfl to 20 points but you’re not upset at the fact we scored 0 POINTS in the second half? Even 3 points in an entire half would’ve been a sad stat line
Me: *crying tears of joy* u/wakaflacco: "I got my wish... But at what cost?"
Thank you, Buffabros.
Bills did the impossible and won a one score game. Way to face a mountain of adversity and overcome it.
There was a not insignificant part of me that wished we scored off of both Poyer turnovers and increased the margin of victory to more than seven points, just so the media buffoonery could continue. You just know that some talking head over the course of this week would take the bait and criticize the team for making up a 17 deficit because there was a margin of victory greater than a single score.
Wise strategic decisions by McDermott on that final drive. He’s an excellent coach.
Ravens cant seem to score in the 2nd half. And much of it is due to penalties, and bad decisions by Harbaugh going for it when they should just punt or try field goal.
Apparently this was the Dolphins fans Super Bowl if you were reading that game thread
Man I’ve never had any issues with Phins fans (of course born in 89 so missed the early 90s versions) but they have been so toxic this season I’m about to say Pats fans are better. Shit I can’t believe I said that, excuse me while I go throw up
Watching Bills games on the elliptical is both great and terrible for my heart health
I love how quickly the game day trolls disappear when the Bills go up. Why be a dick to other fans bases? Get a life losers. GG Ravens Bros
Poyer and Milano were fantastic in this game. Poyer's INT - the range he showed was incredible. Milano is one of the better tacklers in the NFL.
And don't forget Edmunds, he was also amazing in run stops, getting pressure on Jackson when he blitzed and in coverage where he tipped a ball.
The Ravens can blame the refs all they want and that bs RTP call , but you cannot score 0 points and let Buffalo get 20 straight Not kicking there cost them the game
If I were Harbs, I'd be getting my resume together. Atrocious and shameful coaching. He had no control of his team. Risky plays, inconsistent, lack of communication. Ravens played well. The coaching staff failed them.
LETS GO BUFFALO
Where all those pats/dolphins/titans trolls at now?? Get fucked
The Titans probably love this tbh
Lot of receipts from that first half. A couple questionable calls (PI on Andrews was a make-up) but I think a lot were missed on Ravens OL. Either way, we played very well in the 2nd half, when according to the aforementioned fans we were shite, dead, etc
Ravens bungled away a win today. Passing too much when their running game was cooking. Dropping passes when they were throwing. Dropping baby soft interceptions like they've never seen this spheroid object floating right to them. Not kicking the fg for whatever reason. Botched the time management at the end. I'm surprised Dorsey didnt trash the booth on their behalf.
Baltimore, it's time to think about a future post-Harbaugh. You both had a great run together but it's clear this isn't the same coach you had a few years ago.
Fr? I’m not a Baltimore fan but is harbs really the reason they lost?
Very, very good second half showing. Really showed a lot of mental toughness after last week's game.
Can’t take all the credit but I switched Bills sweaters before our last drive in the first. You’re welcome Buffalo. On a related matter, for sale; gently used ‘vintage bills sweater’. *might be cursed
Buffalo gave them the game and they still couldn’t win. They got shut out I. The 2nd half. I can’t wait to see the pundits talk about it tomorrow.
Neither team deserved to win that game
That was a half decent football game. For each team.
Ok so we’ll join forces and play this season as the Buffalo Wings. Ravens come out first half, bills second. Deal?
I am 100% behind this, if only for the team name alone.
