Ravens are explosive

Dont forget how amazing the cowboys looked before we exposed them or how bad the chargers looked before they made us look kind of bad. or how about what we did to miami when they were looking unbeatable. 

 

The Ravens are not unbeatable. Not even close. 

Right,  please don't compare them with Cowboys.  These dudes are for real

Cody Ford in for the Bengals,  surely a win now.

I still think the ravens have a good chance of one and done against the browns with the winner of the east hosting the conference game.

 

Their offense is certainly more well rounded that in some prior Lamar years, but explosive isn't a word I'd use

[Danger Mouse]

I think the Ravens looks incredible.

 

But you put the Bills up against an incredible side, and you see an incredible Bills.

 

They're just weird like that 

 

We have absolute nothing to fear except the game of football itself.

They are a complete team. Multiple offense threats, all-time level kicker, and a variety of ways to disrupt as a defense.

 

Beatable...let's win division and figure out the offense to see them in late January.

 

I read this and a little bit of pee came out.

They look great, but playoff Lamar is gonna show up.  

 

Reminds me of the Tennessee team that lost in their first playoff game after being the one seed a couple years back (2021?).

 

We just have to keep the win streak going and I think we'll be hosting the AFC chip game 

Reminds me of the Ravens team that lost in their first playoff game after being the one seed a few years back (2019).

Biggest difference for them is Lamar has learned to hit the receiver when the D comes up to stop his scramble,  and he is very good at moving around the pocket to extend a play.

 

McD has successfully defended him in the past but needs to adjust his plan IMO.  He runs far less now.

 

The big thing is our D needs to pressure Lamar.  They've been excellent at preventing that, so it's critical.

I like our matchup with them if we get the opportunity.

Ravens defense is elite. Their offense isn't as great as they seem. Bills would gave to play a clean game and Josh would have to take all the ding and dunk plays.

 

This concerns me more than their point scoring offense.  Josh tends not to play well in dink and dunk games.  Having said this, he does seem to have more patience as the season goes on so who knows?  The Bills D is also coming together at the right time.

Depends.

That can be a verb, or a noun.  Whatever works in the moment.

Ravens are different now.  The new OC has really turned Lamar into a true dual threat QB.  The defensive concepts we’ve used in the past to contain Lamar need to be tweaked to account for the improved passing aspect of their game now.  If we end up playing the Ravens it will be a true heavyweight fight.  Best team on that day will win the game.

I just watched the Ravens-Dolphins game, having only had seen the score prior.

 

I expected compete domination.

 

Instead, it wasn’t.

 

Miami dropped a wide open TD that would have made it 17-7 Miami. That was the turning point of the game. Then after halftime, Baltimore returned a kickoff very deep and picked off Tua. It was a comedy of errors.

I think the Browns will beat them in the divisional round

Oh definitely. They are the best team in the NFL. No doubt about it. If we get into the playoffs I am not expecting to get past them, just hoping we get a chance.

 

Lamar in the playoffs is usually a far worse version of him in the regular season.  Has he even had a single good playoff game performance?

Really the same thing with the 49ers. 49ers were the better team but had 5 turnovers. 

 

 

Don't get me wrong. Ravens are a good team but I've watched some of their games and I've seen Lamar miss a ton of throws. I know he hit Flowers yesterday in stride but he has underthrown a lot of deep balls that went for TDs. Bills have an elite zone defense and that will cause issues with them in the playoffs. I would pick the Bills over the Ravens in the playoffs. Not as a homer pick but from what I've seen. The biggest concern is I think the Bills would only be able to have 1 turnover max.
