Bills vs Ravens Divisional Round

[Back2Buff]

I feel like this game is going to go exactly the opposite what is being portrayed right now.  I think expecting a high scoring, back and forth game is off base.

 

I envision a slow paced, grinding it out, where whatever team gets up early, they will maintain a slight lead the entire game.  I see lots of FGs.  I feel like we will either sweat it out being up 1-3 points all game, or we will struggle to ever take the lead being frustrated that we couldn't overcome 1-3 points.

 

I think the over/under stays under 40.

 

All my opinion.

Correct, in this game it’s the defense that will decide it for either team. 
 

Baltimore had the worst pass D until they decided to cut Jackson, Bench Williams and put Hamilton in a 2 high look with Washington. 
 

Night and day change, since week 11 the best d in every category, wtf happened to Marcus idk. 
 

think the ds will be huge come game time even though Josh and Lamar are gonna generate all the clicks 

This is a family-friendly forum excuse you

Anyone looking for tickets ? I have 6 extra and dont want to list them on ticketmaster and potentially have ravens fans buy them.

 

They're in sections 313 & 314. With fees on ticketmaster they're selling around $250. I'll sell them for $175 each. PM me if interested

Im already getting the nerves

So for the betting folks out there...I saw on ESPN that the Bills had opened as 1 point favorites and are now 1 point underdogs. Is that because people are betting on the Ravens? How does that work?

I'm actually oddly less nervous than I was for the Broncos game at this point in the week last week...but that is also making me nervous...like, wait, am I not nervous because I know deep down that we have no shot, or am I not nervous because I think we have a really good shot. Nervous about not being nervous enough. I've reached a new level.

Yes.  Early big $ is on Ravens. Watch the line movement closer to gametime.  Thats when many whales bet

Money is coming in on the Ravens and that is why the line moved, and they are now the slight favorite.

We have a bunch of hard core Ravens fans on my wife's side of the family.  They are feeling like their team is unbeatable right now and act like they aren't worried.  But i can sense some uneasiness that the Ravens have to travel to Orchard Park.  Nobody is walking in there are dominating the Bills this season.

To be fair, outside of KC and SF who in the world came to Buffalo that was half decent? Even SF in December was dog water.

Does anyone have stats on Derrick Henry in the snow? I legit can't find any snow game highlights on youtube from him and Statmuse isnt working....any insight?

[BlackWing]

I enjoyed wearing my new Bills tshirt for the Steelers game last Saturday (the glares were fun). Will have to go purple Sunday though, but won't be too sad if Bills take it. I'm just bummed we have to meet before the conference championship.

Bills run defense needs to be deadly or it will be a long night. Allen and co. will no doubt test the outer limits of our (Ravens) recent defensive Renaissance, and I'm betting will put up big numbers.

 

Should be a hell of a game. Wouldn't feel any shame losing to the Bills. Part of me hopes they win, you guys (the best fanbase in the NFL imo) deserve a Lombardi.

 

See you Sunday! 💪

Best situational stats are nfl.com but snow, might be a AI type question

Baltimore beat 7 playoff teams, 7-3 was their record vs playoff teams

The 'blueprint' is to contain Henry and make Jackson throw the ball a bunch.

 

Ravens are 3-5 in games Henry has under rushing 100 yards (2 of the wins vs Bengals)

Ravens are 3-5 in games Jackson has 30+ passing attempts (2 of the wins vs Bengals) 

 

 

 

As others have said too - if they are going to score, better for them to score quicker and get the ball back in Josh's hands than have them dominate TOP with long sustained drives.  Sell out to stop the run - if they complete some passes so be it, and ideally 'bend don't break' and stiffen in the RZ to make them kick some FGs

Who?  Pittsburgh is hot garbage. You beat a undermanned Bills team 14 weeks ago.  Who was the best two teams you beat?  Bills beat KC and Detroit- the top teams in the AFC and NFC.  Name who you beat, I’m sure it’s pale in comparison

Bend don’t break is how Baltimore kills you, you need TFLs sacks etc

You guys haven't played a legitimately good team in a month and half, since you lost at home to the Eagles.

The Ravens are good and they can beat anybody on any given day, but I don't believe they're as good as folks think they are.

We just pummeled the Broncos in a playoff game.

You beat hot garbage Pittsburgh twice - and lost once to them.  That is a worse loss then Buffalo has.

Chargers and Bucs are ok, they are no Lions and Chiefs.

Color me unimpressed.
