Would the Bills have beaten the Ravens?

[RobbRiddick]

Their defense is stifling. I'm interested to see how KC does against them because they've looked fantastic this season and have beat down on some really good teams. 

[2003Contenders]

Yea, with the depleted defense and lack of speed at LB there is no way they would have been able to contain Lamar as they have historically done in the past. Imagine LJ doing what Mahomes did on that one long run to start the 2nd half all game long! Speaking of that, it was sad how Douglas just watched Mahomes run right by him without even trying to make a tackle. In fact, Douglas looked out-of-sorts all game long; probably would have been better to let him sit out another week and rolled the dice with Elam.

Every game is it’s own world. In the past, McDermott did a good job stopping Lamar. I think that we had a shot.

Yea, I think the current state of the union has a better matchup against the ravens but it wouldn’t be a slam dunk.

Definitely different.  They all are.  You firing Shanahan?   Dude hasn't done anything but choke.

Haha, if the best you got in these "gotcha" scenarios is future HoF coach John Harbaugh, and Kyle Shanahan who has Mr Irrelevent playing at an MVP level, compared to McD who is supposed to be a "defensive genius" yet has never even won a SB in any capacity and whose teams fall apart every time the going gets tough, then you can play this game by yourself.

 

None of the coaches left in the playoffs have warm seats and rightfully so. While some coaches who went out of the playoffs early should rightfully be questioned.

 

McDermott is much closer to Todd Bowles level than Harbaugh, Shanahan, Reid, or even Campbell.

Would've been another classic game, I know that much!

We can beat Jackson. They were saving Bernard, Rapp, Davis for this game.

If there is any truth to this...McD and whoever else is responsible for that call should be canned ASAP.  Kind of need to win the game yesterday before worrying about Baltimore.

If Harbaugh doesn't win the SB does he suck?

You mean the SB ring he already has or the new one he'll get in 3 weeks?

bernard looked good moving around, he had to have been able to go

rapp - i don't even know his injury

and davis went in '22 with a bad ankle/foot. maybe he wanted to protect his FA possibilities.

 

i think any of them could have gone.

He already won one.  

 

Also, Allen is MUCH better than Jackson.

Which guy is about to have 2 MVP's?

We can stop Lamar and the run game, so I would say yes.

 

KC has no shot

No! I actually had a pit in my stomach watching the Ravens and Texans. I wanted to believe The Ravens are overrated, or that The Texans could put up a fight. Wasn't the case, and that game told me it is indeed their year. With how banged up our team is, I felt we would go there and get blown out. I felt like our game against KC was a fight to go get slaughtered in Baltimore.

 

With all this said, I would not be shocked if KC somehow pulls out a win. They always seem to find a way. I just think The Ravens would have embarrassed us.

[NewEra]

I think we would’ve won if we had Bernard and Benford. Without them, probably not

[CodeMonkey]

One of the talking heads commented after the game that given the injuries to the Bills D, they likely would have gotten steamrolled over by the Ravens.

I tend to agree with that, but any given Sunday ... 

[Southern Bills Fan]

we definitely could have beaten them if playoff Lamar showed up.

[BarleyNY]

Probably not, but it would’ve been nice to have tried. 

[Buffalo03]

Would they have? I don't know. Could they have? Absolutely

Are we answering this rationally?  Or full of piss and vinegar because of last night?

Yeah I don't get it either. Anyone that thinks Allen is MUCH better than Lamar is a straight up troll.
