Sweats

So, i completely hammered my system with zinc, vitamin C, Vicks vapor-rub, cough medicine, a concoction of herbal tea/honey/lemon/whiskey, etc.........i've just about got it out of my system in about one week. That's the fastest i've ever recovered from having a cold.

The refs will curse us all with the Mahomo voodoo magic.

This is probably the most logical and most coherent thing i've read on the boards today. Bravo, my man.........bravo.

............maybe our FO didn't get the memo or perhaps they misunderstood the assignment?!?

You know that if we attempted even a mild downfield threat, it would have softened up the D and allowed more lanes for the RB's and create even a facade of the potential to lob it at any given point.........as it was, we were completely one dimensional. Albeit it paid off, however, this won't work against KC.

The only reason JA didn't dump it back to Cook is cause the defender had his arms tied up. I firmly believe that if his arms were free, that ball is getting dumped back to Cook with a disastrous result. Re-watch it and tell me im wrong.

I remember watching that game on tv real time and even though it was the Cowboys, i felt bad for him. The best part is Staubach's face after the drop...........classic.

My god, could you imagine the fan reaction and outrage if that happened?!?.........no matter if the Ravens had scored to win the game or not, the fans would be calling for heads.

The overall rivalry including regular and post season is indeed a coin flip, however, for just the post season, it is a complete dismantling and clinic for KC........it would be good to finally change the narrative this year.

Doesn't matter to me as long as any team other than KC wins the Super Bowl.........i don't think i could listen to another year of Nick Wright's Mahome's ball washing, tea bagging nonsense.

I agree that last year, Lamar was not the MVP, however, he has more than earned it this year. Prove me wrong.

..........i'm losing sleep at night over it.

Going into the Ravens game i was confident without a doubt that we would win it, this upcoming KC game though,.......

All i know is that every tv station and radio program is talking about how the Ravens lost the game and not how the Bills won it. ...........disgusting.

Relax man, i'm just getting your goat........but if any other man makes a play for your goat, i'l slap him.

I think we should have opened it up all 2nd half. We should have come out of half time swinging for the fences, dictate the pace and put the game away.......we had the opportunity and didn't capitalize and basically left the door open for the Ravens. We've been fairly aggressive all season long, so yesterday in playing conservative, is an anomaly to me. So, we've never been careless with the clock?.........got it.

You don't think the Ravens DB's would be licking their chops just sitting back waiting for JA to throw the ball and looking for the INT to seal the game? There's a reason why we were ultra conservative in the 2nd half and limiting the opportunities for the Ravens to get a turnover off us, however, there is no secret with 1:33 left on the clock that the ball will be passed around, allowing opportunities for the Ravens to make a play. I know our O would have opened it up.........the Ravens D would have known it too.

Here's the thing, KC rarely turns the ball over, so teams need to play clean and sharp against them........basically good old fashioned role up your sleeves and go to work for 60 minutes and on every play. If you can't win an honest game without having to rely on turnovers, i seriously have no idea how long that will carry you. It's carried us this far, however, so KC will be a true test.

Apparently, every Bills fan believes it was a "gimme" for Bass, so........

.........username and post count checks out, so he must know what the rest of us don't.

Here's my way of thinking....... KC will do the same plays or variations of the same plays over and over during the course of a game and dare you to stop them. Once the team figures it out, they then start another set of plays and go over the whole same scenario. The Bills have always worked the middle of the field and kept at it until the other team caught on and took it away which would then set-up for a long ball or RB sweeps to the outside (which Cook is the best in the league in my opinion), however, against the Ravens yesterday, it's like they didn't even try. I am of the belief that you keep doing what's working and force the other team to readjust and then reach into your bag of tricks and say, "you want to defend the middle?........no problem, then how about a little sweep action to the edges or a long ball to the outside". You make the D defend the whole field, not just the middle and that's what had me screaming at the tv last night. It worked for us yesterday, but there's no guarantee that it will work again.

They scored just about every time they got near the red zone...........LJ had all day to run around in the backfield looking for the open receiver and had no problem capitalizing on it either. The King bulldozed his way in for a TD in the 3rd quarter with very little effort from our D in trying to stop him........he just carried bodies into the EZ along the way. When exactly did we tighten up in the red zone?

.........exactly. What i've been trying to say all thread long (and probably not real coherent about it) is that with 1:33 left on the clock, there is no guarantee what the outcome will be. As a Bills fan, it's easy to say that JA would have put on the cape and "willed" the team down to FG range to win the game, however realistically, the chances of us going 3 and out and handing the ball back to the Ravens with just under a minute left was a real possibility, as we didn't really move the ball successfully in the 2nd half.

Yeah, i was thinking the same thing..........we needed to even just attempt the threat of a passing attack to open the field up and it just seemed like our game plan was to just keep trying to run (sometimes it worked, sometimes not). Almost as if to say, "So Baltimore, you've got a running game?.......well, we've got a bit of our own", which i ordinarily wouldn't argue with, however, this team is not built to go toe to toe with the opposition, we are built for chunk yardage which relies on passing, to set up the run. Very, very unusual game plan yesterday.......but it worked.

Yesterday, it was like Hamlin was actually playing to be proactive and not reactive........that creates a huge difference in coverage.
