1/19/25 Division Round Playoff GAMEDAY THREAD Bills vs. Ravens

[aristocrat]

D line needs to put their big boy pants on today and dominate that o line so Henry has to get those tough yards. Don’t let that train get to full speed 

[BuffaloBillyG]

My keys to the game on defense:

 

1. Run gap integrity. Be where you should be. When FB Ricard is in the game, crash on him. He's always out ahead of the run. Use him as another body to clog the running lane.

 

2. If Flowers is out as most expect, Mark Andrews becomes their top target. Bracket cover. Hit him off the line.

 

3. Pass rush needs to be patient. Walk the pocket back into Lamar. Keep him hemmed in and make him play QB. DL get your hands up and cause some tips.

 

4. Bring the aggression.

I read that over 70% of $ action is on the Ravens.

It is ultra rare that Vegas takes a massive loss to the idiot betting public.  Bills have Vegas on their side

This just in.  Defense Still wins Championships.  The Bills D needs to be aggressive and ball out tonight like they haven’t all season. If they do, we live to play another week.

It's the turnover battle!  Bills have won most of those this year thankfully, but look at Detroit last night... 4 turnovers just sucked the life out of any chance their overmatched D might have had.  If Bills stay true to form and get those turnovers and steal possessions like they've been doing, they can withstand/limit the inevitable damage that Lamar and Henry will do.  The D definitely can't come in half-a**ed.   Don't think they will either!

Ps watching from Germany and a fellow Bills fan is coming over, game time is 12:30am. Spouse rolled her eyes when I told her we’re hosting.

But she understood! 

I did that for 7 years with AFN.

For some reason your post reminded me of the John 3:16 guy,,, Rainbow Man.

It’s inconceivable how clueless and unprofessional these 2 kids are on this WGR morning show. Biggest bills game in years and you got these dudes on pre game. Why is this even an option?

I'm religious three times a year*: Christmas, Easter, and when the Bills are in the playoffs.

 

* Though I do celebrate Lent, how can one pass up on a good fish fry.

Great intro for this game day thread!!  My son and I will do our part today to scream our heads off and make things as tough as possible for the Rave Inz. They and their fans can all blow me!  One of my college friends grew up in Balt and loves the Ravens.  Would love to have bragging rights by late this evening!  His nickname is Flutie, as it were, because he looks just like Doug Flutie!  Weird!  But I digress.  I’m a little calmer and less anxious than usual and that seems to be the Bills’ players’ vibe too. LFG!  We got this.  I’ll end this somewhat rambling post with the sentiment of my HS buddy that I saw yesterday and hadn’t seen in years.  He’s expecting a Bills blowout and thinks the Ravens suck.  Go Bills!!!

Go Bills !!!

Today is a day to choose violence.  

 

I will add run at Lamar.  Don't let him keep the ball.  Take the suspense out of it and make sure we know it's going to Henry.  Then game is on Daquan and Ed to disrupt and to win.  

[bigduke6]

DTs need to have a very good game today.  especially Ed.  he has to play smart for us to have a chance of stopping Henry.  feels like at times our DLine is so amped to try and get a sack that they forget to play smart.  id rather win in a shootout than watch Henry chunk us for 6+ per play.  if Lamar is the true MVP,  make him beat us with his arm.  Go Bills!!!

The Bills are probably game planning on stopping Derrick Henry.

 

I would not be surprised if Baltimore does a head-fake and comes out throwing instead of running.

They have to fill in like 8 hours of air time in a pregame show.  You have to fill it with several personalities.

Henry always gives them fits.  I could see that too but might be to the detriment of the Ravens.

I think the Commanders are going all the way. They’ve looked absolutely unstoppable. 

Maybe, and they have looked good but right now the ball is bouncing their way.  Big unforced fumble by Tampa last week won the skins that game and last night they were PLUS 5 in turnovers. 

[SoonerBillsFan]

I would love to see Rapp channel his inner Steve Atwater and crack the hell outta Henry like Atwater did Okoye.

Do you realize the pay rate of people in radio? These guys might make $35k

When? Henry has had 2 good games of about 8 against the Bills.
