"Allen has a defense that makes plays. So Allen actually has help from his Defense" My brother in Christ, the Ravens were up 40-25. What "help" did the Bills defense give?

It wasnt even all of last year. He saved all his brain farts for the KC playoff game, since thats when it's best to just completely melt down.

Maybe, but that's tougher to do with the short field. Most likely it's score a TD quick, or get stopped and kick a FG quick. Those passes took a ton of time off the clock. Haha, yep, that tackle basically won us the game, because I dont think Coleman had the awareness to go down at the 1yd line.

Yep. With these two teams, it's who has the ball last, wins. Same with our KC games. The Ravens proactively chose to put us in a situation to have the ball last.

But the reality is, for 3.5 quarters Josh wasnt better. Or at least the Bills offense wasnt better. Until the Ravens coaching decided to focus on killing the clock, get too conservative, and changed their defense which is exactly what allowed Josh to hit Palmer and Coleman on those 2 plays.

I get the field position argument, but does that work in their favor since we could score quickly and theyd get the ball back with more time left?

Top post on Fin Heaven right now, lmaoooooooooo

He played a lot. And he is, and always has been, much more than just a pass rusher. He weighs 280lbs. 280! He's just as good setting the edge against the run (when he's not biting inside, haha)

I more agree with Orlovsky, Schefter, and Crew who said this morning "If the Bills and Ravens play 10 times, it's most likely a 5-5 split" The two best teams in the AFC.

As Bill Belichick says, games in the NFL are lost more than they're won. It's that team that makes one more mistake, one more bad decision, one bad bounce, that lets the game slip away. It's the team that simply does their job and nothing else who comes away with the victory. So in this case, I get the coverage talking about the Ravens losing/blowing the game. I mean, they had it in hand and a 0.9% win chance, and then made a series of bad decisions and bad plays to hand us the game. I'm not offended because at the end of the day, we're still 1-0 and on top of the Division and Conference.

Here is that hit by Ed on 3rd down before the punt...

That must be ol "Panty Dropper" Benford took/gave a hard hit that first series (first play?) and I was worried he knocked himself out of the game. Seemed to shake it off and continue, but it slowed him down a bit the rest of the game. Looked like a shoulder injury possibly.

It was a symptom of our "Disguise the D until the last second" philosophy. Ravens ran up and quick snapped it. Entire D was out of sorts. It's by design of our scheme and gameplan.

Still pretty bad in Dolphin-land...

Pleasantly surprised with his 2nd half. If he can maintain that and stay healthy then Beane needs to work on that extension.

Inconsistent through the season, but dude consistently shows up against the biggest and hardest teams. Always shows up against KC, one of the only Defensive players to show up in those games and probably the only one to show up in multiple. I'm fine with him disappearing against the Jets and Titans as long as he shows up big like that against the Ravens and Chiefs. Although maybe not for his 2026 cap hit. Something will need to be done there... Great game last night.

I like the idea of Bishop and Hancock out there together. Only concern is both being so green and biting on fakes or being out of place.

I'm picking up your code and we dont swing that way, sorry!

I dont know, but he had a play early in the game (maybe first drive even) where he blocked his dude almost all the way into the Ravens bench. Was nice to see.

Absolutely. I had to comment because my wife is from Rochester, so the Sahlens vs Zweigles debate is a constant in our house

Sahlens. It's Buffalo, not Rochester garbage

Theyve been extremely effective so tough to hate too much. But I hear ya.

To that point, did we run ANY 6 OL Fronts last night? Or has Hawes eliminated that need?
