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!!!

I'll give you $20 if you say this to them today. And another $20 if your son does

HAPPY GAME DAY TBD! It will be hard to get any other productive work done today. So, just get ready for the game, and be prepared to watch our Bills quiet the ugliest raptor of this bird classification.

 

Thus, .... (Lamar and Derrick, and all the Ugly Bird Nation) the Raven(s) “Nevermore.”

 

GO BILLS!

I didn’t know your name was Lenore😳

Just got back from the gym - was wearing Bills hat and shirt, and passed a guy decked out in Patriots gear.  Gave him my best "Ha Ha you suck now" smirk with the highest air of mocking superiority I could muster.  Not sure he appreciated it.  Best part of my day (so far)

Nice start to the day!🤣

Hopefully the good lord will see fit to bestow upon us a slight advantage.

So, a lightning strike on the Ravens huddle? Nice touch!

I expect a very aggressive called game by both coordinators. The Commanders showed last night that the NFL has truly become a 4 down league. The Chiefs showed making plays behind the line of scrimmage can overcome a so-so effort.

We all have someone we wish we could have the opportunity to share a Bills Super Bowl winning hug with that are no longer here. Some are grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles, etc.. Some of us lost friends or siblings that we thought we’d have more time and opportunities with to see the Bills holdup the Lombardi. And for some of us, we might be entering into that, “one before I die” place in our lifespan. We never know when our time will come, just like in sports you never know if you will ever get another shot. Hope our guys are ready to meet the moment and make the most out of this opportunity! I think they are, seems like a special year. 
 

Go Bills!!

On a family ski trip and will be driving home during the game. Going to be painful, but will be shutting the phone off and watching it on delay. GO BILLS!

[Gman10]

Is Flowers back today?

[Dillenger4]

I'm pumped. Cautious, but pumped. I think The Bills are the better overall team. We are playing good football. Tonight will be like a new movie release - one in which we have all been waiting for for years. This is it. It's the BIG one. Let's go boys... Buffalo gonna be rockin!

I may be goin to hell in a bucket baby... but at least I'm enjoyin the ride! YEAHHHHHH!

GO BILLS!

On your behalf I'm going to make a motion that we cancel the game day thread so that you don't inadvertently find out the results before you watch the replay!

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?

They’re so wound up and give no substance. Are they talking about fantasy football too?

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

 

 

Amazing hit, but if Rapp tries that today you better get the ambulance ready.

 

[Bills aPHILLYate]

I know it was already insanely disrespectful to begin with but there's something about seeing that line today and being an underdog at home that irks me more than it did before.

 

That's something you do to a 5 or 6 seed who may have caught lightning in a bottle, not to the only team who defeated both #1 seeds in each conference and is the #2.

 

That has to be arguably the biggest motivational factor I can think of.

The thing is Atwater was a jumbo-sized safety.

 

I nominate Dorian Williams for today's violent hit of the day.

Daniels has passed Burrows into the top 4 among NFL QBs. 

Daniels has moved past Herbert but Burrow (doesn't have a s) is still top 4. 

Here is the crazy part of this. Where do you put Mahomes? You can make an argument for 1-4.  I have defended Jackson on this board for years but I still think it is Allen, Mahomes, Burrow, Jackson in that order.

Oh that would be great to see and I think Williams could win that collision

That's what I thought about Stroud last year. And then this year he regressed badly. We'll see how Daniels looks next year.

That's yet another really irritating thing about Burrow and one of the many reasons I despise him... why doesn't he just add the freaking s to his last name and give humanity some relief from his little games?

nothing for sure yet,  but its looking unlikely,  Ravens called up a receiver for the game and Flowers hasnt practiced all week.

Keys to game:

 

1) Run ball well and dominate TOP

2) Prevent King Henry from having another career rushing day against us 

Disagree.

You are not running against that front 7 today.

Josh needs to pass early and often. 

Today is the day we see Cooper and Kincaid dominate.  I think both go over 100.

My argument against Joe Burrow is that he cannot win a game without two all-pro-level WRs on the field at the same time. The Bengals were 1-4 without Higgins, and their sole win was against the Raiders at home.

You talking about Burroughs or Burrows?
