Agreed, all of Baltimore’s big plays and scoring plays have been directly against our backup LBs and Safeties. Baltimore not even targeting the CBs (why would you).

And also? Ravens are executing at a really high level.  That’s Lamar Jackson and he’s got legit talent around him. Even with the full corps of defenders they’re gonna have some success the way they are playing.

 

sometimes you just tip your hate and keep fighting

[Chaos]

While the score is extreme. This is what the Bills look like when we lose.  Defense is overmatched, and rather than run a track meet and let Josh try to win the game, we try to small ball the offense, in an effort to keep the defense off the field.  Maybe there is nothing else we can do.

The lack of mid range passing game is a huge worry. 

It's like they're trying to copy KC, which is ridiculous

Then we did and had an open receiver and everyone still complained 🤣. Bunch of backseat drivers 

We have 90 yards at half. Their offensive gameplan clearly isn't working.

We are winning the turnover battle and time of possession.  The gameplan is working. 

umm… 3rd down efficiency?

Because they're not throwing anything downfield.  3 yard outs aren't going to get it done.

 

Coleman should've had that one though.

This is it exactly. Why not go downfield a little More. That D is fast and swarming. They know what Buffalo likes to do But Buffalo hasn't, to this point adjusted to that. Well u til Coleman's drop drive.

I feel like if we were actually a "good team", we would be at least hanging in there with this team, even in a loss. Now I don't know what the heck we are.

Anybody know if there's a statistical advantage in the NFL for a team having an extra day of rest?

He's not terrible, but he should've made that catch.

His 15 mouthpieces probably covered his eyes

This feels like a game where superior coaching has had a massive effect 

 

Baltimore was ready to play and was ready to bully us

 

McDermott had these guys looking soft and not ready to match the intensity of their opponent 

McD special, show up small in big games....

Jaw is on the floor. Who are these fans?

 

Team is bad tonight, but man, the definitive proclamations about our season being over, players being bad, et al.  We sound like children.

 

   This is a middling team with an amazing QB. There is not another superstar on this team.

   Wanting to keep being a Pollyanna because you want it to be otherwise, that is childish.

[thenorthremembers]

Keon Coleman gives off major James Hardy vibes.   Can't run or be trusted to run anything but the nine route or try and body a corner on a jump ball.

 

So far off from being a NFL ready wideout.

I mean our season isnt over but people are disappointed. They expected a competitive game and we are getting taken to the woodshed almost as bad as the Bills steamrolled the Jags last week.

The Baltimore secondary played most of the first half protecting the deepest parts of the field.

There was nothing there.

They’re tackling great too…a lot of these short throws people are complaining about were the right read

Harbaugh is just as bad as McDermott in terms of doing mind numbingly stupid things.  This is more about philosophy and team construction.  Buffalo wants to be a bully, Baltimore is one.

[Murdox]

The team is being outcoached and outplayed tonight.  Guess it was destined to happen, but we are now back to being pretenders.  Somehow the Chiefs find ways to win a lot of games - like today - where they looked bad.  We need to be able to do that.

It's 21-3 buddy.. bills punted twice to a good offence on 4th and shorts and Baltimore scored both times at will.

If they went for it and got stuffed, it would have made 0 difference... lol

 

So in a game we're getting out coached, dominated physically and mentally - be dumb too?  Ok buddy, duh!

Gardner Minshew beat this team.  In Baltimore.  
 

We weren’t prepared.  

Josh Allen 9/16 42 yards. This should have been a 400 yard passing game
 

not gonna win w McD / Brady. Wash rinse repeat

Some are saying it’s over now …

 

Not me though 

Considering how the Ravens played in their 2nd half vs Dallas it's definitely not over.
