Interesting article chosen for the Ravens official site...

 

The media in Baltimore has been bordering disrespectful on all aspects of this matchup. I have listened to about 3 different shows in my spare time at work and it is much different than WGR. Any time Lamar and the Ravens are brought up it is with respect and there isn't much negativity or insult. The Ravens morning guys opened up the show talking about college basketball and hockey only to get to the game where a guy who sounds like he got his education topped off in 4th grade to say "can we all just admit the Bills defense is trash?"

 

Anything the Ravens media does to talk about the Bills is countered in the same breath to say something positive about the Ravens. Even if they are a better team, even if they win the Super Bowl energy it is so disappointing to hear the fanbase. They only have little dick energy.

 

Living in that area I know a ton of Ravens fans.  They are confident of course, but nervous having to play at Orchard Park.  Keyshawn Johnson on FS1 Speak hates the Bills.  He hates the city, hates the weather, hates Allen...for whatever he just takes any opportunity to not say anything good about them.

I'm a huge Lamar fan - but his last pass in that KC playoff game last year was absolutely mystifying.  Triple coverage, and didn't have a chance.  He still had time to work the ball downfield but took a completely unnecessary risk.

 

As much as it hurts to say Jackson has been great this year at his passing and decision making. But that erratic Lamar is still there somewhere and if we can put some pressure on him by being up by a few points and no pressure release with Henry, we can win this game!

Too bad the Bills will opt to kickoff to start the game and the Ravens will drive right down the field and take a 7-0 lead.  Its' happened way too many times this season.

I know right. Let's hope the Ravens win the toss.

Good. I'd bet the Bills players have been alerted

Maybe I'm wrong, but I strongly feel like we have to start the game with back to back TD drives, and hold them to no more than 10pts. 

 

In no other game, is setting the tone as important as in this one.

 

In a couple of the recent home games vs NE and Denver, the Bills have gotten off to sluggish starts.  Yes, this game they need to come out as if they're already losing or something and be intense from the first snap.

Can't stand Keyshawn. A complete clown on the air who obviously doesn't study up enough, and a completely overrated player.

He was a Jet so I can understand why he gives the Bills no respect.

I love the "take the ball and score first!" crowd cuz it's just so disadvantageous to take the ball first. Everything with that hinges on the Bills scoring a TD, and then holding the Ravens to a punt.

Great to see Davis practicing.

Not so positive about this game. If they win, still losing to KC next week.

 

I get it, as I'm generally a pessimist.

 

But the (rough) analogy is: Jeez, I'm worried about "post-load blues" after Bills win the Lombardi.

 

Keep your head up brother, no pun intended.

There's no sure thing.  I feel like we've seen the opponent win the toss a half dozen times this season and elect to kickoff.  The Bills get the ball and promptly go 3 and Out,  Pfffftt.  I think that happened at Baltimore and in the Houston losses.  Actually in Baltimore it maybe have been 6 plays and punt.  Screws up the whole first quarter possession time and field position.

yea the d line is all about shooting gaps.  Which in reality if they actually succeed is the best way to stop henry.  Hit em before he gets going but doing it against that big group in baltimore is pretty hard.  

 

I am worried about isiah likely the most as a receiver in the game.  He seems like the third down guy for jackson and he is going to get great looks because of the group they have and what it takes to cover them all and stop the run.

 

Yeah everyone keeps talking about how good our Oline is, and it is but, the Ravens are excellent at blocking for their run schemes. Henry sometimes goes like 8 yards before contact. By then its really hard to take him down.

Which is more demoralizing: The 3 and out or the immediate score by the opposition?

Well, we just watched Denver get the immediate score and it made the Bills play even harder.  So i'd prefer to kick off if we win the toss, much like Baltimore chose to do in week 4.

Realistically they don't "need" to do anything other than score one more point than the Ravens when the clock hits double zero. Would that help? Of course, but Denver got off to a "fast start" and look how that turned out.
