That second rep against Van Noy is a damn treat to watch. Lateral quickness to match Van Noy's feet, length to just hold him back, strength to maintain stability and stay upright... and finishes by tossing that MFer to the ground. O-line extacy right there

I wonder if Sean was more confident in the defense as he was "running it" and therefore wasn't as aggressive in certain situations. Maybe some false security that his defense that he prepares and works with everyday can handle a safer offensive style.

Chiefs dont run the ball well, and their efficiency comes from Kelce and frankly Worthy. Brown has been quiet since coming back, and Hopkins has been quiet (like Cooper). Bills need to force punts, and Allen and Cook need to carry the ball early and often. Get up and then force the Chiefs to have Mahomes play the absolute best ball of his life to carry his team into it. I'm cautiously looking forward to this game.

I mean... us winning proved that you dont NEED four quarters of great football. Three was enough

Lamar was the MVP for both teams last night - led his team back, but HIS two turnovers cost his team in the end. He looked like he has his entire career, incredible athlete who cant stand and process reads. Once the first read was taken away, he was heads down, curl out of the pocket, look up, and hope the Ravens players could create separation after 4-5 seconds of running around so he could hit an open receiver. The number 1 reason Allen is the MVP is the stat everyone threw around last night for the Ravens - they are 2-6 when Henry doesn't rush for 90 yards. The Bills dont have that stat. It's all Allen. For the Ravens, when King Henry isn't going and it falls to Lamar, they dont deliver. When Lamar is asked to make tight throws or face pressure, he can't do it. That's not an MVP. It wasn't an MVP last year, and it sure isn't one this year. Ravens can take their "Best team on paper" award that's starting to look worn because its now the second year they have won it, and go golf for a bit

WGR feeds into it when their postgame last night by Slop and the Bullfrog starts with them claiming Allen purposefully didnt score on the second down run when he ran it to the 2 yards line at the end of the game to "chew more clock". They ran with it for 5 minutes as their second talking point right after the game. Idiocy to that level only breeds openings for more of it.

Every player and former player thinks they can lay enough lumbar on Allen to get him off his game. When he was younger, yeah you could lay some hits because he would run much more often. With Allen having 4-6 runs a game now (not designed), teams dont have the chance to really lay wood to get Allen off his game. Reed has never played in this NFL trying to get after 6'5 240 Allen. If you try to hit him, its 15 yards for the Bills, and Allen has proven to take multiple hits in a game and keep going. If I'm trying to get Allen off his game, I'm GIVING him running lanes to the left and asking him to run 15-20 times this game away from his strong side. Rush heavy on the right, and hope that Allen is too stubborn to take what's given to him. The trouble is, Allen's growth this year is his ability to take whats given and not over complicate the offense.

This game is incredibly important for McD. Beane is safe - he wont be fired regardless of outcome. If we get smashed by the Ravens, say 35-17 - there will be a LOT of call for Sean to be fired and maybe Brady promoted to HC. Personally, I'm not a fan of this, and I think Sean should 100% be the coach next season, however I could lots of call for change if we go a third year in a row without making the championship game

IMO we make the SuperBowl as the NFC rep in 2021/22 and 2023/24. The teams were too good not to. Hard to be blamed for what you can't control in the other conference. Until this year, I think the AFC has been hands above the NFC in top end quality.

I've said it for the last two years, if I see a star QB running and it's early in the game, I'm taking their head off. What stops Lamar/Mahomes from dancing is a solid smack up high.

The Ravens took advantage of our depleted LB core in week 4. Misdirection and getting Hill and Henry to the second level. Spector and Morrow were chasing all game, they didnt have the maturity or skill to stop the running attack. Benford and Milano can do that. Especially with the additional weight Milano looks to have put on, him one on one with Henry at the hole is a good thing for us IMO - Milano knows how to tackle low.

I'd suggest Hamler or even Shakir - Lamar's lateral movement is incredibly solid, and Shakir has that same lateral agility and if the team can get used to getting Shakir on the ground (with his strong base), they can definitely get Lamar on the ground.

Yea, I find it VERY hard to believe that only 6% of Burrow's passes went to the "designated receiver". If that's the case, the OC should be fired on the spot for not creating better play design to get the ball to the designated player. This is likely looking at where the QBs eyes went for the play, but I know lots of teams use misdirection to bait players out of their zone coverage bubbles. Detroit does this often. I call BS on the metric honestly.

To be fair, he also has made $100M+ with this play all season. Someone will pay him, his overall statline is too good this year to simply ignore. I'm not a huge fan of his play, but I think he has shown the ability for a desperate team to offer him a 3-5 year deal

Thought Bo Nix was OK - He didn't throw in rhythm, and after his first drive (60 yards and the TD) he proceeded to go 11 for 20 for 80 yards. The Bills took away anything deep, and Nix wasn't incredibly accurate on the run. He is quick, he had those 4-5 nice runs when we played shell at the end of the first half. I'm not as high on him as others, I think he is close to his ceiling as a decent low end starter in the league. We will see. Regarding the Bills - the biggest takeaway was how well the LB core played. Bernard and Milano made plays all game, and if they play that well against the Ravens we have a good shot at winning the game. Milano was GREAT as a spy on Nix, and Benford attacked lanes incredibly well.
