I was a big Ray fan coming out of the draft. Surprised they mixed him in so much coming off concussion and how well Ty has been doing but he ran hard and decisive in the few opportunities he got

At times he has been disappointing including the middle of last season I thought he was pretty bad but he has the most duties on this defense by far. Likely is a stud and is better than Andrews at this point in their careers and he gave Taron problems last night. Didn’t help that Jackson had all day on some of his throws as they were just trying to hem him in

I think a lot of people are still adjusting to the idea that we want to be a ball control methodical team that establishes the run. When our run game is clicking , like in the first half you don’t hear people complain but when the run game bogs down it looks like ultra conservative offense. Do I agree they could have been more aggressive in the 3rd yes, and the quarter almost cost us the game , but this isn’t the throwing it all over the field Brian Daboll offense from 2020-2021

All 4 games the team with more yardage lost in the divisional round. Kind of crazy but Turnovers and sacks will do that

Alright based on my sleuthing on officials, there are 4 officials who are eligible to be the referee for our game against the Chiefs. WC refs tend not to do a 2nd game and divisional round referees are eligible for the Super Bowl which already are having reports that Shawn Smith will be the Super Bowl referee with Carl Cheffers as the alternate for the Super Bowl. That leaves 4 referees who meet the minimum criteria. Shawn Hochuli, Clete Blakeman, Adrian Hill, and Scott Novak. I would suspect that Adrian Hill will not be our referee considering he graduated from the University at Buffalo. Novak has the least amount of experience out of the 4 tied with Hill. That means it is likely that Hochuli and Blakeman get assigned the AFC and NFC Championship games. Hochuli officiated the Bills/Chiefs Divisional game last year so not sure if the NFL would repeat that assignement as last year so my prediction is we end up with Clete Blakeman as the official for this game who has actually been a very fair referee when it has come to both Bills and Chiefs games over the years. He would be a best case scenario in my opinion.

It appears that Shawn Smith is going to be the referee for the Super Bowl this year. I am trying to find out who the refs for the Title games will be this week. I have noticed that Hochuli hasn't officiated yet so maybe he wasn't graded high enough this year but worst case scenario he's the official for our game. I thought the refs come from the pool of WC refs though but I can't confirm that.

I'll be honest if he needs a game winning kick in either the AFC title game or the Super Bowl, I'm probably going to close my eyes and just listen first before I commit to watching it.

Yes I'm more optimistic. This team, especially its key players, have been to Arrowhead numerous times over the last 5 years in both the regular season and the playoffs so I don't think the Bills will be wide eyed by a Arrowhead crowd per say. They are also very familiar with the Chiefs and have beaten them just not when it counts yet. The Bills are also two dimensional on offense and it appears that the Bills are transitioning a little bit on defense to becoming more balanced between man coverage and zone coverage. The team is evolving in a very good way. Does it mean we win? I dont know but i'm more optimistic for sure.

I watched the last play that the Ravens scored the TD on and it was a 3 man rush of Epenesa, Jefferson, and Solomon. Not ideal for who you want out there at the end of a game.

I think the thought process is that they gave up the 3rd and got the 5 back but they also expect to get some sort of compensatory pick for him back probably in the form of a 5th or 6th rounder in 2026. I don't expect to see him get re-signed

We can nit pick and I agree we bogged down but your just trying to win and get to next week. It doesn’t always have to be pretty and it wasn’t tonight but we’re moving on and the Ravens aren’t. I’ll take 2 more really ugly victories

It was the right call, as I said in the game thread. You can’t be beaten down 8 and it forces the other team to be perfect and the Ravens made a mistake

Sure but that was a way better ball than the one Allen threw Kincaid that 90% of this board immediately piled on Kincaid for for dropping it is what I’m saying. He catches it clean, twist or not twist, he’s in the endzone

I mean if this is his usage then we should have kept the 3rd rounder. He’s not even being a decoy he’s straight up not on the field

If he catches it it’s a TD even if he doesn’t get in initially his body is twisting towards the goaline and would have slid in. Benford or any other Bill wasn’t close enough yo touch him. If we’re gonna nitpick that throw don’t defend Allen’s throw to Kincaid

I don’t like Baltimore but I respect the hell out of that organization for their ability to reload talent and be consistently good.

It’s funny because the Chiefs and Bills got severely outgained in their games but both won. It’s just an example of great teams finding a way to win,

It sounds like they’re not going to go that route. Bishop is a better fit for the box safety spot anyways so he should be more comfortable at that spot.

I get its not perfect and was very reminiscent of the Chiefs game last year but man thats a good football team and to be honest the Ravens didn't play their A game at all tonight and without those turnovers we probably don't get the win. Just happy to get the W and to be playing next week and getting another shot at the Chiefs to finally get back to the Super Bowl.

Thank god is all I have

What’s Mark Andrews charity cause he was dropping a ton of charity for us this game

Omg we got through this matchup and it looks fairly healthy outside of Rapp but I think Bishop can handle that

Knees mad get the ***** out of here

Please please please

Omg get the inside and we’re there
