They need a better front 4/7 in terms of stopping the run and getting after the QB. I don't care who the Bills are playing this has been a problem for some time.

Here were the defensive snap counts against the Ravens in week 4. I'll put the offensive ones next to it as well...

 

Funny - am I the only one in the world that watches Hamlin and wonders what MC'D was thinking when he decided to make him a starter? Top tier teams make big time trades in the offseason, as well as the season to bring in the talent that they need when they need it most. I don't wanna hear about Amari Cooper either. He's no longer the Cooper that played for Dallas or the Raiders. He is a shell of his former self. 

 

The Ravens brought in Henry, even though they made it to the Conference Title game without him last year. Philly brought in Saquon, even though they also have been to the conference championships without him. SF the same with Christian McCaffrey.

 

We for some reason like to trade our draft picks to our adversaries on the other hand.

Arent you tired of watching bottom feeder teams from just a few years jump ahead of us going to, and some and winning SB's? Do you not think that coaching has a major part in that? 

 

I get that under MC D, we have enjoyed success as far as getting into the playoffs, but that is not the end game. The Steelers fans are not content with winning seasons, just like we shouldnt be  content with just making it to the playoffs.

 

Beane does not get a pass either!

These kind of posts always give me a chuckle, the best coach of all time needed a lucky break of an OT coin toss to get past the chiefs,that’s really no different than us the coin just fell the pats way that night.    the only other AFC coach to get past them is Zac Taylor who is pretty dreadful imo.  The dude just missed the playoffs with a stacked team because his team is just not ready to play for a huge chunk of the regular season 

 

the chiefs are in the position that they’re in largely because of regular season success I don’t get why people can’t see that.  their path to the Super Bowl is often a bye, a joke, and one tough game that could go either way. Contrast that to the bills with the 2 seed this year, they have an extra 50/50 game against the ravens which HEAVILY cuts into their superbowl appearance odds.

I believe you will see some version of the Dallas/Raiders Amari Cooper this game. If the Ravens copy the  defense from the first game, they'll get abused. The first Ravens game was THE REASON the Bills brought Cooper to Buffalo. I hope they try it

Feels like with all the tickets available there will be a good number of Raven fans in the stadium, which kinda sucks...hate that ST holders are shying away from the cold/night game and selling their tix.

What bottom feeder teams are jumping us and winning Super Bowls?

 

Here are the Super Bowl matchups since Josh broke out in 2020...

 

Tampa Bay/Kansas City (2020)

Los Angeles/Cincinnati (2021)

Philadelphia/Kansas City (2022)

San Francisco/Kansas City (2023)

 

Oh, and for good measure the Super Bowl in 2019 was San Francisco/Kansas City... so who are these bottom feeder teams leaping us? If you want to point to the NFC teams, your argument is just dumb, we don't play in the NFC. If you want to point to the Bengals, considering they're the only team outside of KC to make a Super Bowl, then your definition of "bottom feeder" is ridiculous.

Los Angeles/Cincinnati (2021) for starters. Both were bottom feeding teams prior. They made in-season trades to get over the hump that year as well. (Von and Odell). 

 

As bad as many think Zack Taylor is- he did have legitimate excuses some years with losing Burrow for a season. He at least went to 2- AFC championships and 1-superbowl though!

Not sure why the staff keeps releasing Ankou. I actually thought he might get a call up this week to stuff the run.

Lamar Jackson has never played in below 10 degree weather before. I wonder how many hits he's going to take before he starts questioning running

I would prefer "before he starts questioning his life decisions"

That's the scout team QB.

Brown seems like a guy they just want in camp next year compared to trying to get intel out of. The game is 4 days away.

Can’t even point to the NFC lol those rams and Bucs teams were absolutely stacked and only missing a qb and both added a hof-er the year they won it.

No RB move is good news.

It's not Intel. It's run around like Lamar during practice.

 

Also ANY time it makes them spend changing ANY verbiage is a plus.

Making coffee turned on the ticket here in Dallas and they are talking about how Allen needs to win this game or he will forever be known as a guy who can’t win playoff games.

 

not a peep about Lamar!  Then they moved on to talking about how awesome Jaden Daniels is.   
 

very interesting how this has become the national opinion.

 

The media wants everyone to see Patrick Mahomes as the king of the mountain, and then Josh Allen/Lamar Jackson/Joe Burrow as the sub-tier beneath him fighting for that #2 spot in the league.

 

But deep inside, they know that a Super Bowl ring (or two) is the only thing keeping Allen from being the top dog in the entire NFL.  He is the new Peyton Manning to Tom Brady.  They don't have that kind of expectation with Jackson or Burrow.

I think some people list them and if someone buys them great but if not they go themselves.  That bills pats wildcard game felt like there was a ton of available tickets but looked packed at game time.  I don’t remember seeing many pats fans at all.  If a lot of locals don’t want to go out in super cold weather I doubt ravens fans would want to either lol

Anderson is a big deal. Not that Davis is inconsequential, but Anderson plays a LOT.
