Two things there...... first you can't miss him in the pocket. Second, it's a good thing we didn't get called for the late hit.

Big spot for the defense here. They bent on that last possession, but made the necessary play. Can they follow it up with another stop to give our offense another chance to extend the lead? That's what we usually struggle with doing.

It's amazing what our offense can do when they aren't called for phantom penalties......

You kidding? He was hauling. It took a really fast back to catch him.

Awesome..... NOW FINISH THIS DRIVE WITH A TD!!!!

Blatant pick on that play.....

Then the freaking late shove.....no call. We know which side the refs are on. Stole that drive from us with that crap call.

COME ON!!!! That's a perfect ***** trap..... Just crap.... There is no reason that a sky judge shouldn't be able to overturn that blatantly terrible call.

And that's why you force Jackson to beat you in these conditions.........

Nice response from the offense..... Going to need the defense to figure it out fast, though.

Maybe next time.... Maybe someday....

Play action time

He's their only legit WR and you just don't have anyone covering him when there should be 2 on him. Just a terrible defensive plan so far.

Ravens are going to move the ball today..... There is no doubt about it. But you have to keep them out of the endzone.

Play fast. Play smart. Stay healthy. Whether it be by 1, 10, or 100.........WIN THE FREAKING GAME! Go Bills!!!

Yup.....In today's league, that's what you have to do and there's nothing you can do about it. Honestly, we should be throwing jump balls like that to Coleman once in a while if for nothing else, just to try and draw the flag. Has to be so frustrating to be a defensive player in the league these days.

For his sake, if he's that confident, that he has a few thousand dollars on the Bills moneyline tonight.

It's said because it's true. We have no game wrecker on defense. Our DTs have been inconsistent at best all season and we struggle to get pressure on the QB consistently as a whole on defense. Our WRs, outside of Shakir, are uncertain. Yes, Cooper has been a great player in the league for a long time, but he is on the wrong side of 30 and isn't long for the team most likely. Coleman is a very inconstant rookie who I am not high on the chances of him ever becoming better than a low end WR2 at best. I mean, all you have to do is look at the separation statistics out there and you will see that our WRs are among the worst in the league at creating separation consistently. Our safeties are average. While Benford and Johnson are good, Douglas has regressed a bit and is getting older. We have a terrible kicker and punter. Our special teams always give up a terrible play every week. The only positions on this team that I would consider set and great right now are QB, the offensive line, and RB. Perhaps the LBs are fine if they can stay healthy, but that has been hit or miss. That's it, though. Everywhere else needs an upgrade. There's a reason that only our QB is an all pro and, even though it is a farce in a lot of ways, why we only have 2 pro bowlers. I like the base we have, but let's not pretend that this roster overall is super talented. I fully expect us to be even more talented next year than we are this year because we will have at least some money to spend this offseason. So yeah.....we're a good team. Better than the national media predicted us to be. But we don't have the most talented roster in the league like you're saying. We have the best QB in the league and he makes up for shortcomings in many areas. As for tonight, we're going to find out just how good we are. And I pray that we are good enough to play another week and beyond.

It is a legacy game for sure. The thing is, I am not sure that's a fair thing to have put on us considering the expectations that were placed on us going into the year. We lost like 9 starters and most of our captains. We ate 30 million just to get our best WR off the team and to not play for us this season. I mean, everyone was picking us to finish 3rd in the division and miss the Playoffs because this was a rebuilding year. Guess what...... All those things are still true, but because we have an alien playing QB for us, he willed and carried this undermanned team to not only the Playoffs, but to the Divisional round. And, just because we're here, all these people that were saying we are in a rebuilding year are now saying if we lose this game, it will tarnish our legacy as a team, Allen's legacy as a QB, McDermott's resume as a coach, etc. They forget that nothing's changed except the fact our freak of a QB is even better than they imagined and is masking the issues we still all know are there. We don't have a great roster. We have some good talent, but largely, we have 1 guy that carries this team on his back. We're here because of him and because the guys on this team truly believe in and care for each other. They are not the most talented group, but they play for each other. How far can that take them? It could be just to today. It could be all the way to the Super Bowl. We will soon find out. But the fact that we are here and playing today should be all the legacy we need. Getting here, something nobody outside of this fanbase and in that locker room expected, should only enhance this legacy because we've already accomplished way more than most ever expected. Instead, we still have largely the same roster as we did before the season. Still undermanned and not as talented as we can become as early as next year because we will actually have a little money to spend. But we're here and if we do lose today, we won't get any credit for accomplishing what we have this season and will only be ragged on for losing another Playoff game and not making the Super Bowl. Frustrating position for this team to be in, but here's hoping they use it as fuel today and for as long as they can keep this ride going.

Yeah..... I mean, I don't think it was all because of the game. Just one of those nights where you can't get comfortable, you know? I am sure some of it was being ready for today, but whatever happens tonight, win or lose, I am sure there will be all sorts of adrenaline going tonight too.

Worst night of sleep I have had in a very long time. Last week, I didn't start really feeling the Denver game until a couple of days before the game. This week, I have felt it ever since the Denver game ended. This is one of those games....... And I am not even sure it is animosity towards the Ravens themselves. It's more their fanbase that has really made this a less than enjoyable week for me. I have stayed away from social media and the national broadcasts as much as possible, but man, even trying to separate from all of that, you still hear about how much glazing there is going on of the Ravens from the media and their obnoxious fan base. Of course we want to win every single week, but the way things are set up right now, we can shut a lot of people up over the next few weeks. This week, it's the Ravens cult. If we win, next week all we will hear about is how Allen can't beat Mahomes in the Playoffs and it will be about how we can go about beating both the Chiefs and the refs. Then, even if we are blessed to take all of these top teams down and punch our ticket to the Super Bowl, all we will hear about is how we've never won one and never will..... It is narrative after narrative right now and each one is garbage in it's own way. So yeah.....all this together has me wanting to win the Super Bowl more this season than ever before because we can right so many wrongs along the way. And I know I, and probably a lot of Bills fans, are feeling that right now. GO BILS!

If that guy didn't have the defense he does to carry him and the refs to have his back in every critical situation, he wouldn't have a quarter of the accolades he does. He's good, but not nearly as good as he is made out to be.

Stroud has all the talent he needs to be a top 5-10 QB in this league, but unfortunately for him, I am not sure he has what it takes between the ears mentally. No pocket awareness. No situational awareness. Just doesn't have that "IT" factor when you are talking about the best QBs.

I mean, I guess you could say the positive coming out of this game is that even though they are going to win, at least they didn't win by 20+ points and didn't get to rest their starters for a quarter and a half.

A passionate fan base that wants their team to win more than anything, but is more realistic than most. They know football and for the most part understand that each game is it's own entity. They are willing to acknowledge the team's shortcomings and discuss ways to overcome them. Then, if they don't, they move on, they help each other and remain the most charitable and loyal fanbase around. If you can't see that, haven't experienced it, or don't know the difference, I don't know why you are here. GO BILLS!
