I am not going to lie my thought as they started driving was "Oh thank god they gave enough time for Josh to get FG goal drive working"

 

This was the platonic ideal of a Sean McDermott defense: bends, holds at the right moment.

Same - once they got past 50 yd line I was actually thinking ok have them score quick and give the ball back to josh

The Ravens were the best team we played all season, bar none.

I have nfl network on while I listen to the wgr postgame.

 

Steve Smith called Lamar Jackson the best player in the league and said he sets the standard for qb's.

 

Can't stand the guy.

[Coach Tuesday]

Matt Milano was the difference in this game, I am serious.  Hope he’s ok.

We won the turnover battle 3-0 and stopped two 2PT conversions and still only won by 2. Clearly something caused what should have been a lopsided result to become a nailbiter win. I place the blame on Brady. He was awful in the 2nd half while the Ravens coaching staff found answers on both sides of the ball.

How much of it can be blamed on spending the week interviewing? 
 

I mean telling a team I’m not gonna do it until after the season tells that team you’re a team first dude.

Enjoy it fans.  These are special games and wins.  It's an amazing team.  Stop complaining so you can enjoy the beauty of this season.

Did he get hurt?

What worries me is that the offense we saw tonight is the offense we've seen since after the Rams game. Plodding, conservative, heavily reliant on 3rd down conversions, almost zero outside passing offense. It's tough sledding.

I'm still confident that we can beat the Chiefs and the Refs.

You mean the non-straight line that I calculated perfectly? Including all the variations in route? And released free software where you can map the same source? Yeah…

I will trust the two Mechanical Engineers who neutered your thread.  I know they aren’t BS’ing.

Well yeah, can't imagine why he'd be biased towards Baltimore. 

[BigDingus]

The best entertainment ever - watching Nick Wright doing the rounds, trolling Ravens fans on Twitter right now!

 

He's been saying it all year & saying it leading up to this game, yet everyone was harassing him as a "Lamar hater."

 

So now he's just rubbing it in, and I'm enjoying every minute of it.

The first half counts too, and we situational managed the game quite wll. Just give McDermott and his staff a little credit.

That’s funny because one of them ended up admitting I was right. Sigh Royale - never change little guy.

Yeah, it's an unfortunate thought, but to barely eke out a win with a +3 TO margin, and HUGE TOs too preventing major swings, ... it's a pill.  

 

 

Minutiae that doesn’t matter, they out scored us on their first drive too, so fuh king what, we won the game against a freaking really good team, and that’s all that matters!  Some freakin people are never happy, same bunch of Chooches that will absolutely whine after a Super Bowl win, y’all need to gain some real life perspective, nuthin but luv, 

 

GO BILLS

Can you imagine if Josh had turned the ball over twice in a Bills defeat? He'd be being ripped to shreds by the so-called experts right now.

27 points be damned, Joe Brady was poor.

 

- TE screens on 3rd down against press man

- Running into stacked boxes

- Completely took Allen out of the game until the last drive

- Not knowing to go QB sneak at the goal line 

 

BUT IT DIDNT MATTER! BILLS WIN!!!

 

LETS GOOOOO!!!

 

 

 

In game and post game I was thinking this, but right now? I’m wondering if it was intentional to run the clock out on the Ravens offense and win this game with the ball in Josh’s hands. Every play they ran was meant to keep the clock running and inch their way to first Downs’s 

maybe that’s just great strategy 

[Scott7975]

Oh I can't wait to see Broussard on First Take tomorrow. Bet he dont come out with his Ravens pimp robe and sneakers now. For weeks all I heard outta his mouth about MVP and this weeks game was Week 4 25 points!!!!!

You are right.  The play calling in the 3rd quarter would’ve been the story of the offseason if they hadn’t pulled out the win - it was inexcusable and coaching malpractice.

That Ravens team was better than us. They simply made too many errors. Thank God for that

No, that is not quite how it works.  Better teams don't make those types of errors.  Ball security is part of being a good team.   With better coaching, this game likely is not all that stressful at the end.  The Bills coaches were making all kinds of errors in the second half.
