Awesome!  Show me a better QB highlight reel?  There isn't one.  Josh is the greatest QB the NFL in history IMO.  Josh has the supreme ability, will, wherewithal, and confidence.  The Bills are 9-0 at home, The Mafia will be insanely loud.  Josh has proved doubters wrong since HS.  People betting against Josh are out of their minds!  In the words of YOLO, Josh is everyman, and he is superman.

 

GO BILLS!

Also, that song is somehow underrated yet one of the greatest of all time. So, great choice for the highlight reel.

I would be better losing this week then against kc. I'm tired of the josh can't beat mahomes when it counts narrative

 

Not many people can. Id rather that then the "Josh can't get past the divisional round at home" narrative.

Ruled doubtful. That likely means out. He was probably doing stuff that was part of his rehab.

It would be a million times worse if the narrative was he can’t beat Mahomes AND Lamar AND Burrow

I got my playoff jitters out of the way last week. Was really a bit worried about the Denver game with them coming in with nothing to lose. And then the game couldn't have gotten off to a worst start.

 

But this game I feel totally different. Love being the home underdog. Love that everyone in the media is picking the Ravens. Love that they embarrassed us back in week 4. Love that the entire team feels disrespected with the lack of pro bowlers and all pro nods compared to the Ravens. If dreams can come true we roll them and win this one by 2-3 scores with it never really in doubt from the start.

I swear the media people haven't watched a game all season except for the week 4 game. They probably didn't even watch that one. Just saw 35-10 and said this game is over.

Miracles already happening. We found a worse ST coordinator than Matt Smiley.

Agreed. I will be rooting hard for KC next week if the Ravens somehow beat us. Allen would still be 1-1 against Lamar in the post season. And Lamar and the Ravens right now are pretty big favorites in a lot of folks eyes. If they can't make it to the Super Bowl with a presumptive 3x MVP and OPOY candidate in Henry that would be a huge stain on Lamar's legacy.

Kahler's pick: Ravens 28, Bills 25
Moody's pick: Ravens 30, Bills 23
Walder's pick: Ravens 31, Bills 27
FPI prediction: BUF, 50.3% (by an average of 0.3 points)

 

It’s really wild, it’s hard to find any talking head picking the team with the better record playing at home whose QB plays far better in the postseason.

 

Let’s go, guys. Time to shut all these numbskulls up. L. F. G.

Because they all said our window was shut and would be 3rd in the division. If we lose then they can just continue that narrative with the Jets were dysfunctional, Miami lost their QB, and the Bills played the somehow easiest schedule in the league.

Shows how lost they are. I don’t see the Ravens coming into our house and winning unless we have a very uncharacteristic game (a bunch of turnovers or a super flat performance).

One narrative that never took off this week was “how in the world will the ravens stop the Bills offense” … and I think that’s bc they did stop it in week 4. There is a deeper dive into that game and its flow that shows why they stopped it and it wasn’t necessarily scheme or something easily replicated 4 months (months!) later. But the National  media clearly didn’t look past the score and henry.

I sold all of my tickets 2 days ago. And I sold all of them at a huge loss to make sure they went to bills fans. If I really cared about maximizing profit I would have thrown them up on ticketmaster.

 

I truly believe that weather will not be an issue. I'm on the weather app now. At 6 pm tomorrow it says 16 degrees with 4 mph Wind. And snow amounts for the entirety of Sunday night will be 1 inch. There's a good possibility there's no meaningful snowful at all during the game.

 

I was kidding you about the tickets this time.

 

The first two times I quoted you I wasn't.

 

Again, glad you made sure to sell them to Bills fans instead of on the open market.

Don’t know if I saw this posted, but thought there were some good ones.

Buffalo at home is 9-0

 

The bills are a historic team at home this year 

 

On offense they Avg 34 PPG

On defense they allow 13 PPG

 

Over the course of a season for those metrics it would be 

 

544 points scored

211 points against 

 

This is an astonishing level of dominance at home slightly better than the 91 Washington team and very similar to the 07 Patriots at home.

[Kelly to Allen]

Buffalo during the regular season beat 8 teams with 8 wins or more. Including both number one seeds. This is again pretty historical 

 

For reference again, the 91 Washington team had 9 wins vs teams with 8 wins or more. Many metrics/ analytics say that the 91 Washington team is the greatest season ever if you can measure dominance statistically along with the eye test. 

 

Washington that year scored 30 or more pts 8x

They only allowed two possessions or less of scores 8x

 

Buffalo has scored 30 points 12x this year 

They have only allowed two possessions or less of scores 6x. Again this is historically great. 

 

Washington in 91 allowed 9 sacks the entire year 

Buffalo has allowed 14 sacks all year while slightly passing more. Again this is a historic power/ dominance metric

 

Buffalo with most of their starters and these metrics go up even higher obviously.

The CBS self learning AI platform has us winning 33-22. I like that since it takes the stats and variables and eliminates the bias. The computer doesn’t listed to hype. I think the ELO model had us winning as well.

Ravens Defense also gets the “allure” factor of people just always viewing them as a strong unit .. and since the halfway mark of the season, they have been. 
 

Bills have been Josh Allen going nuclear to try and save us from McDermott’s oft-injured postseason defenses against good QB’s of recent (last defense win against a good QB in the playoffs being against these Ravens). 
 

I don’t take much issue with the sentiment that there’s more pre-game concern for the Bills on how to stop the Lamar/Henry Ravens Offense. 
 

There is… because we’ve seen Josh Allen be elite in big games and it still hasn’t mattered. 
 

McDermott’s Defense may not be the best Defense he’s had here, but it’s the healthiest, and that has to matter now.
