Man a lot of wannabe talking heads flipping out on Twitter because their wonder boy Lamar lost and Buffalo got some calls. Josh is so good he’s getting that hate now. Should be an interesting week! 

Can you show me? I want to sink it in

They’ve given him zero weapons apart from Andrews and their playcalling is atrocious. 

 

Yep, then let a lot of talent walk. Defense just eroded. Mistake to not resign guys like Judon.

Not you particularly, yea it was a bad half of ball, but the posters calling for the coaches to be fired, JA sucks and so on. Wish they would just STFU and try to be positive. These BIlls want to win as much as we want them too. That is enough for me to give them some slack during the game, we don’t have players that are just cashing in. Some posters called them soft, shove the soft where the Sun don’t shine!

First half felt like the minds of everyone on the team were somewhere but on the field today.  Not sure why that's what it seemed like, but they didn't give me a sense they came ready to play.  

 

The fact they were able to regroup, make the adjustments, and start holding onto the ball shows that as easy as it is to write them off after a bad half, they only went to the half down 10 and people shouldn't overreact.  If you didn't see the score but saw how they played, you'd have sworn they should be down by 3 TDs. They did what they needed to do to pullout the W today in some not so nice weather.  Hats off to them.

Thats based on his skill set. He has never been a good passer to the boundries.  They had and still do have solid receivers on that team.  Even Sammy Watkins couldnt get the ball on that team.

 

Fine, then get him a big bodied receiver like AJ Brown to go over the middle. Right now, it's easy to jam Andrews and cover their scrub receivers. He's athletic enough to make up the difference for the most part, but Lamar can't do everything.

I told my wife this could either be the Colts game or the Bucs game at halftime.  Luckily we got the Bucs game and FINISHED this time.

Allens a magician. This team is basically Allen, Diggs, a stacked defense and a bunch of role players/JAGs.

So a really good NFL team? 
 

Scott, I mean this in the nicest way, you’re funny.

I'm so glad I didn't look at this board at halftime. Go Bills

Ravens fans complaining about the roughing passer. I read some tweet’s calling Allen the NFL’s princess. 😂

 

I love it. This is how teams sounded playing Brady. Sure it was a soft call. Oh well. 

A soft call like that in the last few minutes of the game is inexcusable. Imagine if the shoes were reversed. We'd be livid!

Looks like Picket might get the start. Not sure if that's good or bad. Either way the Bills should win but we know how that goes. 

Steelers seem to be one of those team that always gives us fits for some reason. Here's hoping the Bills get off to a better start next week so we don't need dramatic comeback wins.

If the ref's hadn't been so soft for the Ravens in earlier series, maybe we wouldn't have needed it.

It’s been on the other foot over the years.

Try not to take anything in the game thread seriously.  It is a moronathon every week.

It wasn't soft, the rusher stopped and charged again. It was clear as day.

Still it was a first down play though in a tie game with plenty of time left for either team to win it..  people are talkin like that was a 3rd down play

These things all even out.

How about the no-calls on "hit to a defenseless receiver" in back-to-back weeks against the Bills -- to Dawson Knox last week and McKenzie this week. Both should've been worth 15 yards.

Blaming a loss on the refs is chump *****. Maybe Ravens fans should be upset that their team couldn't score a single second half point or that they gave up 20 unanswered to the Bills.

This may be my old man showing, but what the he’ll did he say? Got the good game part.

Big win - didn't see it coming. That first quarter was so bad, and when we went 3 and out with about 2-3 minutes left at the end of the first I thought we were toast. At that point, with the way things were going, it felt like Ravens would score before HT and on their first possession of the 2nd half too.

 

So going in at 10-20 instead of 3-27 was absolutely huge, and I think that had the effect of both galvanizing the Bills and making the Ravens creak. We'd played so badly and yet we only had a 10 point deficit. 

 

2nd half was so good comparatively - although still felt the Bills were some way off their absolute best. 

 

Poyer - there was a thread the other day about not paying the guy when his contract's up, and it may well be the right move. But my word I love that guy. his knack of being in exactly the right place at the right time is just uncanny. The ground he had to make up for that 2nd INT - had no right to get there.

 

And as for Josh.....running out of superlatives. Massive for him to have a big come-back win. Kept his head so well and some unbelievable plays. 

 

Shakir promising too!

 

Huge win. HUGE.

Someone’s getting fired.
