Hines got loose for 2 runs of 29 and 33, other than those 2 runs the Colts didn't do much on the ground........28 car 101 yds 3.6 avg. I know you cant take those 2 runs away, but our run defense being horrible in that game was so overblown. Agreed - Third down defense was the issue against the Colts.

Didn't the Ravens play in a bad rainy weather game against the Patriots this year and lost 23-17 with LJ passing for 118 yards? Why bring up our loss to the Chiefs and not their loss? Why show a clip from a bad weather game from last year and not talk about the bad weather game they just played a month and a half ago? I'm starting to really hate the Ravens! So the media narrative is "advantage Ravens". Buffalo vs Everybody, man, buckle up! 1

I think a better place to discuss this would be in the game prep thread. In fact there's already some discussion there. But maybe I'll put up a thread 1

It does not mean the bills will lose either. It’s a bad matchup....on paper. Agreed. It's a bad matchup under the statistics showing that we struggle against the run. However, McDermott has always seemed to be very prepared to slow down teams that are somewhat one-dimensional. Edited January 13, 2021 by SCBills
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 you can throw all the stats, bad weather, where they're playing and what they did this past season out. both teams are 1-0 in the postseason. it's going to be a dog fight with both teams playing hard for what's on the line. win, on to the afc championship. lose, prepare for the off season. I want to believe the bills will edge this one out. it's the playoffs so it comes down to who makes the best plays and can create opportunities in all 3 phases. 60 more minutes of a chance to advance. if they don't win I will still be as proud of how the team went through the 2020/21 season and making it to the divisional round. 14-3 so far, total wins. need 3 more. 17 has been a magic number for buffalo, which is still achievable. reaching that would mean they'll hoist the lombardi...GO BILLS!! 1

The best rushing team vs one of the best passing teams. I'll take the passing team all day. The offenses aren’t taking the field vs air. Bill run defense has been inconsistent to say the least. The part of the field the bills defend best the Ravens don’t use. The ravens passing and scoring defense are tops. And while their run D is not as good, the Bills can’t run at all. This is the tough match up on paper everyone is rightfully talking about. It’s not to say can’t win, won’t win etc. defense could step up and play tough, Digg and Allen could play out of their minds, one of the RBs stepping up might have the game of their life, coordinators might find a great match up to exploit all day... but it’s a tough match up on paper based on what is known. 27 minutes ago, SCBills said: Agreed - Third down defense was the issue against the Colts.

It is easy to find reasons that we will win or lose this game, but luckily, the game is not played on paper. I have faith in Josh Allen, and this team in general, to do whatever it takes to win this game. At the end of the day, I don't think the Ravens will be able to outscore us. Go Bills!
Inigo Montoya Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 I watched Aaron Rodgers and the Packers dominate the Titans through the air, and Henry do nothing on the ground, in Lambeau Field on a snowy, frigid night Week 16 this season. Davante Adams carved up the DBs that night on the slippery turf. Bad weather can cut both ways. I'm not worried about the offense, Josh is going to be Josh, Diggs is going to be Diggs. I think the entire game is going to come down to one simple factor, will the Bills' defense tackle well. If they are bouncing off people and not wrapping up, we are going to lose. If they tackle clean we are going to win. 2

You can't. Play our scheme, stay in zone and if he breaks out adhere to your scheme principles and rally to the ball and gang tackle.
buffaloboyinATL Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 I actually just watched this and they did talk about Josh Allen playing in Wyoming and said he will be great and said he was the ultimate "X factor" and said he can play in any conditions. I agree that they said the conditions favor the Ravens, but they did mention all their players who are from Florida and said they are in for a surprise with conditions in Buffalo. Nothing they said was wrong, but I have faith in Josh getting it done.

I went by yards per attempt as the more meaningful measure imo.... Running they allow 4.6 ypc which is in the 20’s. Passing NY/A 5.6 or 4th. pts allowed is second behind Rams.

Yeah, I agree with this, the Bills don't have anyone good enough to be sure to tackle Lamar one-on-one. It's also why I don't think we'll play much nickel. Play a solid base D focused on stopping the run and forcing throws to the outside. 1
