4-3

Ok, which secondary player are you taking off the field? TJ? He's one of our better run defenders. Rapp? If there is anyone I trust to lay the lumber on Henry it's him. Do you yank Hamlin and effectively play single safety?

our whole run d depends on the backers just firing up into the correct gap.  

Finally looks like they both got up to speed on it

Oh they won’t say they are scared, they will say they are being “realistic” or “objective”

Too early of a forecast but preliminary shows snow.

Hoping for bad weather- Make Baltimore one dimensional and just sell out on the run.

 

Weather also doesn't effect Josh as much as Lamar

Blowing my mind that we’re opening as 1.5 favorites vs Ravens. Definitely thought it’d be at least the reverse.  Wouldn’t surprise me if it turns in that direction. 

Yeah.....  I would actually be stunned if it doesn't turn pretty quickly.  I mean, the books are basically saying it's a pick'em with us getting the standard point and a half for being the home team, but I bet most of the money ends up going on the Ravens by the time it's said and done.

amazing that the the chiefs get to play no one and the texans, in order to advance to the championship game. 

I think Houston can beat them as long as the refs stay out of the way

I've been back and forth on this. As a team that's been beaten pretty badly by Henry a few times in a row now I'm not sure I want to enter a ground and pound sort of game with the Ravens. But at the same time Lamar's elusiveness and their receiver advantage would be neutralized quite a bit.

Maybe, if it means more pressure or a spy on Jackson and another body on Henry. I'd rather have the athletic Williams blitzing, spying, and tackling in the box that Hamlin playing his usual safety valve role. Jackson succeeds by running, helped hugely by the threat of Henry running. His extraordinary ability to run and keep plays alive until someone is wide open, much like Allen, masks his ordinary ability passing. (He throws a graceful ball to wide-open receivers, but how many Allen-like dimes do you see to covered receivers?)

 

Playing deep and waiting for them to make mistakes won't work, because they won't throw; they'll run, all day long until the Bills can stop them.

Ya fair- I remember 2020 game I didn't want weather as ravens were a good rushing team- But it actually helped the bills , cause they just sold out on stopping the run.

So I'm clinging to that for next week, but  could be wrong haha

The two best teams in the league are playing in orchard park next week. Of course it will be the prime time game. 
 

And everything is telling me to HAMMER the over. 51? Might hit that by halftime. 
 

Bills -2? Not touching that with a ten foot pole.

Got out of this one relatively healthy.
 

Now need to come out ready to play and hit Lamar. Can’t get down early and play catch up. 

How many guys in the concussion protocol?  Lewis?  #28 others?  Those kind of Losses would hurt.

No reason. Bookmakers are not Bills fans and don't have PTSD or BBFS.

 

There is no reason for us to be underdogs at home. Ravens are good, and so are we. Yes we lost to them 3 months ago, but we were missing Bernard, Milano, Johnson, Miller and Rapp afaik and didn't have Cooper.

 

They are not unstoppable on offense, and even if they are, we have proved we can win a shootout. And unlike Josh, Lamar still needs to prove he can play consistently good in PO.

I’m putting Dorian in for Hamlin.  Make Lamar beat you over the top.

I thought I heard Romo slip and say to Nantz he couldn't wait to the game with him next week and Nantz had like a don't give away response "oh, we got the call already". If I heard it right and Romo did slip it would be Sunday

Expecting the refs to keep it in their pants is expecting alot when it comes to Chiefs games
