  1. You do realize that the Ravens had a historic offense this year, right? They had the #1 Total Offense in the NFL. Lamar threw for 4,000+ and almost had 1,000 yds on the ground. Then Derrick Henry had 1,900+ on the ground outside of that. I believe Henry had been on a tear as well. We're not facing an offense like that next week, and we beat the brakes off of the Broncos who didn't have an offense like that the previous week. If we face Philly in the SB, then I imagine the gameplan is fairly similar and Jalen Hurts is not Lamar by any means. There also won't be any snow in NO. Our defenders will not be at the disadvantage they were yesterday.
  2. All of our players have given up big plays, missed a tackle, or something at one point or another. 8 weeks ago, people were looking to run Oliver out of town on a rail. Taron is one of the best NCB's in the league.
  3. I always viewed the Diggs move as addition by subtraction, and the team has proven just that.
  4. This was always going to be the narrative after last night's events. Let them keep talking. You saw Josh mention it in the post-game interview. They love the bulletin board material.
  5. Still would rather listen to him than Collinsworth.
  6. I had faith that JA17 would have put the cape on and did his thing. Turned out he didn't have to. The main thing is the Ravens are on the couch and we are moving on. Could care less about any of the 🤡's on TV right now.
  7. Those guys on the OL have been solid for sure. Dawkins is one of the top LT's in the league. Spencer Brown has turned into a beast in the run game this year. McGovern has done way better than I anticipated he would. I wouldn't call them stars per say, but Dion is close. What they are is perfect for this team, in this moment. Kromer has these guys ready to go every week and Brady's game plans have played to our strengths. The Ravens had both the #1 rushing offense and the #1 rushing defense. The Broncos had the #3 rushing defense. We ran the ball consistently against both. Then, we kept Henry at that 84 yd threshold. That is when the Ravens lost all 5 other times this year. Baltimore put up 300 yds rushing against that Steelers defense last week, and Henry dominated. The defense came through. All these things combined with the bounces seeming to go our way makes this team feel magical, like a team of destiny. Yeah, I know we've said this before. But this time you have been seeing the results. Now it's time to go slay the dragon. Bury the Chiefs, the Hunt's, the Swifties, the Clarkies, the Kelce's, and the Mahomes'.
  8. In years past, we would be the team committing the costly penalties. Or we would have a crushing turnover. Opposing teams would make these backbreaking plays in the most crucial moments. The coaching staff was constantly fumbling the bag. It would just seem like nothing was going our way when it mattered most. Since that early season loss to the Ravens, outside of the Rams game, things have been turned around. Josh, on the verge of a disastrous decision yesterday, thought better about attempting a lateral at the goal line. We have been protecting the ball. We have been winning with a middling WR group. There are no stars on this offense outside of Allen and Cook (emerging). McDermott has been doing better with clock management and has had a feel for what needs to be done. The defensive adjustments we have seen both game to game, and at halftime, have produced results. We've won the big games. Chiefs, Lions, a hot Denver team, the Ravens (regardless about how you feel because of the way it happened). This team is doing what previous Bills squads failed to do. The whole vibe around this team is different. Josh is playing free. Cook, Davis, and Johnson might be the best top to bottom RB stable in the NFL. Everyone is contributing. Everyone is doing their 1/11. This just may be our year. Let's beat the Chiefs in KC and finish the job in New Orleans. Go Bills!!!
  9. For all the talk of Hyde playing? He's not. If you listened to the way McDermott talked about him, it's almost like he's just serving in a coaching capacity. He may be out there doing a little bit, but there has been no indication about him getting meaningful reps in practice either. We have Bishop and Lewis. One of those guys is gonna have to get it done.
  10. The one thing that held true? In all 5 of Baltimore's previous losses, Henry ran for 84 yards or fewer. Last night's total? 84 yards.
  11. This game is gonna be another dog fight. Look for it to be decided late in the 4th, if not the final seconds, again. Stop the run and do not lose track of Kelce. It still amazes me how this guy ends up wide open, like the defense can't even see him on the field.
  12. Now that we won, this will be the narrative: Lamar outplayed Josh, but his team let him down.
  13. I respect them and all, but I can't begin to express how happy I am that we beat those buttholes. I don't like either of the Harbaugh's and the bobbleheads would have never shut the hell up about Josh losing in the Playoffs.
  14. That would be the best revenge of all. Then he can wear his SB ring on his middle finger.
  15. Great player who had a rough game. Such is life. He'll bounce back.
  16. The Bills take years off of my life every week. The Ravens are a great team. Lamar did everything he could. The defense came up big and the Ravens miscues cost them.
  17. Barkley is like Barry Sanders in that you can bottle him up for 15 carries, then all of a sudden he lashes you for a 70 yard TD.
  18. It's reverse psychology. Yesterday I said Detroit was gonna blow Washington out, then Washington won. This 3rd down play calling is terrible. Idk what the heck McVay is thinking.
  19. The Eagles are likely your NFC Champs.
  20. Is this not football anymore?
  21. I believed from the jump that Daniels was better than Williams. He has definitely lived up to what I thought he would be. Goff is the same player he was in LA. It's why McVay went and got Stafford. The Lions we snake-bitten by injuries, but everyone is going to be a year older. They may lose both coordinators. They aren't guaranteed to be this good again.
  22. If he didn't already, I bet Jerry regrets not swapping out McCarthy for Quinn now.
