I was more referring to an earlier 3rd down that Baltimore didn't convert because Benford was waterskiing down the field using Bateman (I think?) as a towrope.

Dion is typically not very demonstrative but he looked pretty pissed off about the holding call they tagged him with as well. Meanwhile Wiggins, Benford and even Hamilton were running around doing quality control testing on tearaway jerseys

Agreed. It's the only reason I'm willing to spend as much time as I do running around here with a mop and a shillelagh.

Benford

As long as I get that rockin' hat, it's all good 🤙

He's gotten very good at knowing when to take liberties with QB's and when not to. He'll still trade 15yrds for a potential kill shot but not when they can't afford to pay for it.

Yeah, but......

So don't turn the TV on til about 10:30?

Ref was shielded and part of a crew that prefers to let players decide games, which I am a fan of.

We had that same debate in our living room.

I've convinced SDS to sell it to the highest corporate bidder the day after we win our first Super Bowl. We should be good for a while.

I'm sure there are a few decent ones around for some teams, but there is nothing else anywhere that even approaches the quality we're blessed with here.

And the only reason they had those :30 to work with was McDermotts aggressive use of timeouts when the Ravens still had the ball on the previous possession. I don't think most coaches would have had the stones to do that on first and second down outside the 10 yrd line with nearly 2:00 left in the half.

Yup

The best way to stop Henry is to slow him before he can get his feet moving, preferably before or at teh LOS. I thought the Bills were tentative and unsure of themselves, particularly in the back 7, and that allowed Henry to get rolling downhill instead of hesitating and looking for holes. Babich needs to do a better job of getting them to be more proactive and attack their reads instead of dancing around in space waiting for the play to come to them. If it costs them the occasional big play, fine, we've got Josh Allen to answer with. That's infinitely preferable to death by 1000 cuts.

Hey, you didn't kill me for my lack of attention to detail. That's two good days in a row.

Nice work not spiking him and diving on him during the Henry fumble

<starts Go Fund Me for Closer's playoff tickets>

I didn't want to type that in case he's actually from Massachusetts

That is a significant accomplishment living among Bostonians.

My wife had a few Voodoo Love Childs and "fell asleep" on the living room floor cuddled up with the dog early in the 4th qrtr when the Bills were getting trounced. After she'd been out for a few minutes, I made a joke to entertain my son and his fiancé and loudly yelled "Hey honey, if they make this field goal they're going to win!!!". She didn't even bat an eye. About 30 minutes later, right after Benford made that great break on Hopkins' route and stopped him to force the last punt, I looked at my son in amazement and said "Holy shlt, I am actually going to get to yell "Honey, if they make this field goal they're going to win" for real". Y'all are welcome. 🤙

They've probably been scripting and practicing those first couple series for the last 2-3 weeks. I'm more curious how he handles it when things get real.

I know they got gashed bad but I thought Daquan was pretty solid for most of the night. It's typically not fully updated until sometime until the day after a game, but just go to nfl.com's main page, then click on the score of any game on the top bar of the screen. Then when that game's page has loaded, scroll all the way to the bottom (just below punts/fieldgoals) and the last thing you'll see is a small box that says Download Game Book (PDF) .

He really seems to struggle with short yardage situations in tight quarters (i.e. from the 10yrd line in).

Please don't post made up nonsense like this as if it were true; we're trying to be better than that here.
