Gotta be like 95% success rate

There’s that terrible defense again

Forget it, he’s rolling.

Shhh, don’t you know we’re doomed?

And if he’s not hit before the ball gets there

Josh’s arm was hit and the broadcasters barely even noticed, they were so excited to blame it on him.

Two stops in a row.

All the “this defense blows” and “McD/Babich suck” folks have suddenly faded away for now…

Like half of that was on QB scrambles but okay

When’s the last time you saw a guy perform like that after getting his bag? He got more money and his response was, let me do more. Love him.

Oh no. Whatever will we do

Call me crazy, but I’ve got a feeling the Saints got more yards on that drive than they’ll get the rest of the game. Feel free to bookmark this.

A timeout on the second offensive play of the game lol

So whoever loses Chiefs-Ravens will be at least two games off their division lead. And the Chiefs would still be 2.5 off even if they win and the Chargers win.

My god Wentz

A Tony Hunter sighting! My dad and I had tickets for this game but he injured his knee the preceding week and couldn’t walk, so we didn’t go — and the stupid blackout rule prevented us from watching on TV, so this is the first time I’m seeing it. I was a huge Kenny Stabler fan back then (being a lefty myself) so I was devastated. Fortunately, Snake thoughtfully got hurt in the first quarter and had to leave the game, so I didn’t miss much.

I think the poster’s point is that they’ve clearly worked to get him help for whatever stage of development they thought he was at. Lamar may have always “stressed that he was a passer first,” but he really wasn’t that when he came out of college — it was what he wanted to be. So they followed their usual formula of building a great defense and strong running game, and then they slowly modified their approach as he developed. I agree with you that the change has been on the Ravens’ timeline rather than on Lamar’s... but I think the Ravens were right in how they went about it. To the extent that people are suddenly shifting the narrative to “Lamar has no help,” that’s just ridiculous. He has Zay Flowers, DHop, a HOF tight end and a generational RB. He regularly has Pro Bowlers all over the place. The defense is not what it used to be, but that’s because the cap (and Lamar’s own contract) forced that tradeoff. I’m sure a lot of them are pointing to the goal-line series where they ran Henry three times against the Lions. Well… if Lamar didn’t like the handoff calls, why didn’t he check out of them? Instead, he turned to the sidelines and made his displeasure obvious, showing up both his coaches and his teammates. But when it was Lamar’s turn to make something happen… he got stripped. Whose fault was that?

Other than Brady, who I disliked for the same reason, I’ve never seen another QB who pads stats in blowouts quite like Lamar. When the Bills get up big, Trubisky comes in. When the Ravens get up big, Lamar throws even more. We can argue all day whose fault that is. Maybe Harbaugh figures it’s safer to have Lamar pass with a big lead since the conventional wisdom is to run clock by keeping the ball on the ground. But McDermott clearly doesn’t think it’s worth exposing Josh to a freak injury when the game is in hand, and Josh goes along with it. The Harbaughs like to rub it in, and Lamar doesn’t protest too much. But unlike Brady, it’s also pretty hard to think of a single Lamar postseason highlight, or even a game where he played out of his head but the team collapsed around him. Last year in Buffalo, he threw a pick and fumbled in the first half, but nobody remembers it because of Mark Andrews; in the previous playoff game against us, of course, he threw a pick-six in the end zone while driving for the go-ahead score. Lamar does pretty well in his wildcard games against inferior opponents. But he has six TD passes, five interceptions, and no rushing TDs in his divisional or better playoff games. Josh has ten TD passes, one (1) interception, and five rushing TDs in such games — stats that either mirror or exceed his wildcard performances. It’s become fashionable and “correct” to talk about what a great guy Lamar is and how good of a quarterback he’s become. I’m not going to argue with any of that. But to say they’re interchangeable…. I don’t buy it. Josh Allen is the better QB, he deserved last year’s MVP, and he deserved the one before that too. Period.

Just terrible. You mount a comeback like that and then your kicker puts the ball on the 40-yard-line.

So it all comes down to the idiot kickers.

And speaking of former Bills players like Gilmore and former Seahawks like Sherman, what about Marshawn Lynch?

Eh, my son lives in the DMV and was at a bar for our game and he did the Zay Flowers Queen of England wave at their fans when we won … and he managed to get home okay. I probably wouldn’t have advised that… but I’m proud.

Either way i am going to enjoy the ***** out of that game. How often can you say that?

He’s being interviewed right now

I thought the same!
