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.

i think both teams come out to surprise the other. This Harbaugh is not like his trash brother - he is more calculated. McDermott is going to come out to play chess.

 

Both teams need to play the cards close to the chest but also be willing to capitalize on opportunity. To have a powerful back like Derrick Henry as your workhorse is a great counter punch to anything a defense can stop. The Bills defense must shut down the run first and foremost.

 

The Ravens needs to calculate, take their time, and execute precise plays every snap on offense. Whether the play is designed and set to go for 2 yards or 16 - the Ravens needs to keep moving down the field and churn 6 yards out of that 2, 47 out of that 16. If the Ravens can play chess and get McDermott to play their game they can win.

We cannot play chess on offense or defense, we must play Go.  We must be abstract on offense to find routes around and down. On defense we must use borders to shut down lanes and routes.

 

I hope we can play Go.

Whelp thats a couple hours out of his day where he either isn't coaching, watching film, designing a game plan, or catching up on sleep. 

Maybe try and fit in a third on Saturday coach.

Trash brother? Why is Jim Harbaugh trash?

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. 

Agreed.  Then, even if you manage to get a two touchdown lead they get the ball to start the half and if they drive down and score they are right back in it.  Just need one stop.  I think the best approach is the way it went in Detroit. Give them the ball and be aggressive on defense early.  If the Bills get burned for a big play, so be it, but hopefully they get a stop or two, get up on them and because they get the ball first in the second half make it hard to come back.  If you take the ball first and get the lead, it's not a real lead.  It's like holding serve in tennis.

We got a lot going for us.

 

Keyshawn Johnson, some baltimore reporter's comments from 4 years ago, Ed reed I think?, weather, I may have missed some very important things.

 

Clearly Bills win big and easy. over by halftime I'm guessing

punched Jim Kelly in the mouth after Jim made comments that Harbaugh was not that good. after punching Jim he suffered a broken hand. he missed the remainder of the season that the Colts ended up tanking which put the Colts first to get Payton Manning.

 

He's also trash for cheating, trash for being at Ichigan.  He should have stayed up there but they did not want to have that foul cheater up there.

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.

On one of those Locked On Ravens episodes, their guy was complimenting Josh, and then in the same breath he then pointed out Lamar’s greatness as well.  It was like he couldn’t compliment Josh without reassuring listeners that Lamar is still good too.  So pathetic he felt the need to do that.

I gotta stop hyperventilating about this game. 

[jaybeezee]

The disrespect and over confidence by the Ravens  fans, and their current and former players is getting out of control. I want to beat them worse than we've ever beaten anyone. Not even Cincinnati was talking this much trash about playing us, even though they were when they played and beat KC!

 

KC fans on the other hand have every reason to be confident playing us at their house in the playoffs. They've beaten us there numerous times.

you ever notice how the guy with the best truck doesn't have the need to bring someone elses up? the guy with the hottest wife doesn't have to talk about a super model?

 

when you got the LDE you run your mouth and don't even realize if you have it good already because that LDE gonna run your life.

LOL.

 

Where did this narrative start?  is this one of those stupid baltimore things that they all just keep saying to each other?  Like their we are so blue collar nonsense?

 

Allen gets killed in games and just keeps firing.   This is pretty funny.

By speaking the truth? How can we not recognize both QB's ? If there was ever a better time for co MVP's this is it IMO.

 

Naturally my fav is Josh, but lamar Jackson is playing the best football of his career in the NFL.

To be fair, Kelly was a major prick back in the day
