He doesn't like not being ahead and well in control either. He's as momentum susceptible as anyone

I had a pretty decent chunk of money for my betting standards against them in that Bengals game too. But you have to pick an amount where you still want to lose the bet or I agree that it would ruin the watching experience.

I've been back and forth on this. As a team that's been beaten pretty badly by Henry a few times in a row now I'm not sure I want to enter a ground and pound sort of game with the Ravens. But at the same time Lamar's elusiveness and their receiver advantage would be neutralized quite a bit.

Also feels like Lamar looks less MVP like whenever there is offensive momentum the other direction. I hope we win the toss and receive or Baltimore defers and we can get out to a quick lead, especially with home field advantage. When he's calm and not forcing things he has been deadly this year.

I like that +8.5 a bit. I think KC wins but they haven't been one to run away with it this year against competent teams.

They certainly aren't going to shut down a team as elite as the Ravens right now because nobody is built to do that. Just can't have it require a scoring drive essentially every time Josh Allen touches the ball. It can't be like last year where Josh plays nearly a perfect game and it isn't enough because of a few unfortunate plays at the end.

It was a great game by the defense today for sure. The Broncos aren't trash, they just aren't quite enough to override multiple years of playoff history for this team just yet.

You mean like celebrating that he is over the hump against a rookie QB instead of our actual competition? Extremely premature and immature by the OP here.

"Struggle" is a bordering on propaganda. We could have played a roster out of a nursing home and had the same success slowing down Joe Burrow. There wasn't a defense at all. No other contender has had such a lack of competitiveness on one side of the ball. We would have crushed the Chiefs last year with Baltimore's defensive performance against them and Josh's offensive performance. Multiple score victory. The Bills are healthy this year on defense for the first time in recent memory. Let's have some optimism that we will see a competitive defense against an absolutely elite offense under a great coach, but trying to erase the history of how McDermott defenses have stacked up in the playoffs after a wild card win over the Broncos is just foolishness

I mean Skylar Thompson did give them a significant challenge at one point lol

They are healthy. I sympathized a bit last year with how we were scraping the bottom of the barrel at LB against a great offensive coach. This year, I'm ok if they give up a bunch of points, I'm ok if they lose, but they better look a hell of a lot better than any of our efforts in past years.

Props to you for having the discipline to remain seated

Well they're certainly well rested.

They've been covering everything really well from the glances we've gotten at the downfield angles and they've been pretty soft against the run. The only place they're really struggling is in the red zone, where a little more creativity might be in order

The scariest thing is that even if the Bills defense gets absolutely torched for 40+ points with little resistance and Josh Allen keeps the game close with his usual top tier playoff performances, we're just going to trot McDermott back out there again next season, and potentially with a new unproven OC.

It doesn't really matter because every offense becomes a juggernaut against our playoff defense.

Joe Burrow would make this defense look like Rookie mode on Madden with your older brother dragging defenders away from the play intentionally. They'll score 60. Need them as far away from us as possible. I hope they fly out to Aruba after a Denver victory

I'm not. I have $150 on the Chiefs. It's worth it. You're welcome

Untimely defensive holding call now incoming, you asked for it.

Would feel better if your SN wasn't TheJokeman

They seem indefensible on both counts, along with the Rapp roughness call.
