Wild Card Round, Broncos 7 Bills 31, GAME BALLS!

[Jerome007]

It was the D with the most sacks against the O with the least allowed. OLline delivered, big time. Joe Brady planned well but the run game is also a credit to the OLine.

 

Now pluck the ravens!

Was there anyone who really had a bad game?

 

Bass made all his kicks.  No turnovers.  Good kickoff returns.  
 

Only mistakes were the fake punt and Rapp getting beat deep on the first drive.

If you mean why is he in that category you need the boss I am just the deputy 😃. If you mean why did he get it today? 6 targets, 6 catches, 61 yards. Thought he played a good game.

Listen, if you think you can just bring logic and reason into this conversation just because you created the post…

Wait did you jinx us, or not? These are important questions.

I actually think Dawkins struggled a bit at times with the speed rush. If I was giving a tackle a game ball it would be Brown

Watching Dawkins, Brown and Co. is a show. They dominated today.

Bass was money!

Josh had a very quietly dominant game. Smart decisions. Mostly good throws (outside the one that got Davis killed). 
 

Id give Cook one and the o line had a great game. Defensive line played really well today too

 

The guys next to me at the game were not intimately familiar with the term "hospital ball" before I said it as that pass was reaching Davis. They got to see the best/worst example right there. Allen must not have seen the DB/S who had that half of the field; could be that his eyes got over there late and just saw the initial space ahead of Davis. Painful play. 

 

And for those who have seen it on TV/replay: could the Broncos DB have made a play on the ball rather than the HEAD? Seemed like the pass hung up enough to be interceptable...

Not to mention the uncanny Human Pinball™️ RAC he pulls off, time after time, and now on punt returns, that continually steals chunks of yardage and points (not at all unlike Samuel's Run After Catch today). 

[GASabresIUFan]

Doesn't Ty Johnson also get a nomination for catch of the year?

Plus a great dynamic punt return! (And no mistakes on his other PR attempts)

The Bills march on! Baltimore will come to Buffalo next week in the divisional round. @Freddie's Dead is unavailable this week so he asked me to stand in for him with the game balls thread, which I am honoured to do after a playoff win.

 

It also means I have authority over the automatic game balls... but this was an easy call - Josh Allen, James Cook and Khalil Shakir all earned their automatic game balls. So.... who else you got TBD???

 

For me:

 

Ty Johnson 

Dawson Knox

Spencer Brown

Terrel Bernard

Greg Rousseau

Daquan Jones (his best game of the year to my eye)

No Cook???

Smoot also played really well today.

 

There was some poster here who said he sold his house in Buffalo and was done for the season.  Ooops!

I wanted to depress the market.
