He wasn’t the best QB in this game, but he also didn’t have any TOs and that was huge it turned out 

Huh?

On to the AFC championship. I thought we were going to blow them out , but the two driver at the beginning of the second half stalled. 

 

Regardless a great win. On to arrowhead Allen vs Mahomes again!!!!

blow them out?

 

You said they were going to win by 40 for some crazy reason.

 

I am not sure they would have won by 40 if the bus crashed and only half the ravens team made it to the stadium.

Best team win i can remember.

It was crazy the dropped 2 pt conversion ended up almost making it more stressful for me.  If he catches it at least Josh has 1:30 to get them in fg range - worst case go into OT.  If Ravens somehow recover onside on slippery snow covered field due to missing 2 pt conversion, they no doubt run clock down and kick game winning fg with time run out and Josh never gets the ball back

I was thinking same thing and the fact that Ravens were a -1. I kept thinking we were getting set up for another heart breaker

Best game of the playoffs.  It was like a heavy weight fight.  Ali vs Frazier.  Very happy that the Bills won.

I watched of the games to some extent. Nothing felt as impactful as this. Maybe it's because it's our team but that felt brutal

National media is going to say Baltimore lost the game (with their TOs and “miscues”).  Highly doubt they’ll give us credit for winning.
 

Also, doubt that Lamar will get called out like he deserves for his TOs and several off the mark open passes whereas the narrative if it was Josh would be how Josh lost the game.  Listening to Josh’s post-game interview everything he said shows that this team is dialed in and sick and tired of the BS narrative.  GO BILLS.

Probably.  Bills just need to keep winning and all that will go away.  Josh wins a Superbowl and the narrative gets flipped.

Agree to an extent. But if we went to overtime, I think the ravens win. We were holding on for dear life on both sides of the ball

Are people saying that Lamar is a playoff choker and had 2 bad turnovers that were the difference in the game? Is that low rent?

to me it is.  The guy is amazing.

 

Credit the bills defense for playing fantastic in the first half and tilting the game in Buffalo's favor.

If roles are reversed...Josh gets ripped for his turnovers as why they lost

 

Lamar cost his team a touchdown...which may have been the difference in the game

 

Sorry, but turnovers...especially ones that result in points is the worst thing a QB can do

true...i had forgot about his transgressions somehow

[Rocky Landing]

If two point conversions were easy, teams would do it every time.

[VW82]

Ravens outplayed us but we won the turnover battle, and in the end that's what matters. 

 

Andrews is a fraud. 

[Brand J]

Dear offense, please don’t take your foot off the gas when you have a lead, it stresses the defense. 
 

Dear Rasul, please run down the field with your receivers and actually attempt to make a play on the ball. You’ve given up free yards all year, it’s not just on your safety help. Make a play!

 

Dear Bills, thank you for another week. Come out with the same fire next week and stay aggressive and hungry the entire game. 
 

Go Bills!

The fact that we were +3 in TO margin and still struggled to win this game is not great.  Shows how good Baltimore is.  Without those TOs we get smoked.

 

First have drives….

 

BUF 3 TDs and punt ( bs holding call), end of half kneel down 

BAL TD, FG, fumble, INT

21-10

second half drives 

 

BUF 2 punt, 2 FG 

BALT 2 TD ( failed 2 pt tries), FG, fumble 

6-15

 

they had 3 TO while Bills punted 3 times

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

Errors figure in to making a team good or not so good.  Baltimore is a tough matchup game for the Bills, but Buffalo was helped by the home field.  I don't think the Ravens were really ready for the weather.

By the time I recover from this game the AFC championship will be here

Hard to say. The turnovers and mistakes killed them and they’d have won all things being equal but Brady might’ve called a better game had we been down more often.

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.
