I was wondering what Bill’s owner was thinking, he wasn’t smiling in the locker room

The weird part of McDermott's speech was saying it wasn't fancy and looking at Josh who eventually clapped 

 

But whatever, we won!

Neither team played anything close to their A games tonight. We definitely had some divine intervention on our side tonight, gents! After all the games we have had end in heartbreak, this one went our way. 
 

Hopefully that was our offenses bad game and we can get 2 gems from Josh and the boys to finish the run!

McDermott decision making almost lost the game. Two tush pushes from the 3 gets them in the end zone. Very happy for the win

So he made no decisions along the way to get the win?

It was pretty clear we weren’t gettin in with tush pushes. They were stuffing us. But the plays we called instead were atrocious which forced a FG.

The extent to which we went full turtle in the second half scared me to no end

I'm extremely happy about the win. Two more like it and we can all die happy. I just don't think the offense we saw tonight is sustainable to make it that far. Mistake free is good but it can't be your only goal. We have to push the envelope a bit and put the ball in the hands of the MVP in crunch time.

I suspect and hope that weather conditions permitting the Bills offense next week will look completely different.  It will be much more aggressive.  In the first half the Bills O bullied the Ravens and that end of the half drive for a TD was a masterpiece.  In the 2nd half they chose to go conservative.  They won't do that against the Chiefs.

Are you complaining about my complaining?

 

Incredible 

Im calling a spade a spade.

Actually what’s incredible is you measuring Keon Coleman’s 40 time in the Titans game when he didn’t run in a straight line.

[PBF81]

I don't care if we win next week and then in the Super Bowl because the sun's shining so far up our arse that our heads look like lamps, I'll take it!

Did he run the shuttle and we missed it?

Playoff wins are hard people.  Ease up and enjoy the ride.  That was no slouch of a team that they just beat.

We played great in 1st half but we almost blew it in 2nd Half.  But, WIN is Win.. It is all that matters. Go BILLS..

You mean the non-straight line that I calculated perfectly but you weren’t smart enough to realize that I took into account all the horizontal running as well? That’s what you mean? And then I released free software where you can map the same route and get the same figured I did? Yeah…

 

And… checking my post you don’t like - it has more positive reactions than negative. So, you’re in the minority. Congrats.

Ravens were flat out the most talented team in the league, especially on offense. Combining that line with Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson and Justice Hill with good WRs and an elite TE room? That’s a freakin cheat code.

 

just really happy with how the bills D kept their heads in the game, never lost resilience and stayed opportunistic.

 

Part of the reasons bills kept conservative on O was to eat clock and keep the pressure off the D. I thought that went too far with that but to some extent that worked to

What matters is that in the end the Bills won.  At the same time if Brady & McD do it again the Bills will lose and all hell is going to break out.

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!!!

 

 

 

What happened to Ray Davis? He was running well early in the game. Did he get re-injured?

This is such BS

Baltimore seemed to be better at their halftime adjustments.

I think we just did the "let's not slip all over the place like we did against the Bengals" after we had a healthy lead.

 

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.

Good thing we aren't building a dome, seriously. Opponents come to our cold home field and get butter fingers. We're ready to play in the elements, they're not. Massive underrated advantage and I'm glad we didn't give it up.

 

All credit to Beane for figuring this out and getting us an elite Oline!!!!

There is a person who I consider a friend who is a Ravens fan.

 

He is utterly melting down now

[Dafan]

I am really hating this "Ravens beat themselves".  Yes, Andrew's dropping the 2pt was a screw up by them.  But those turnovers were our defense.  Lamar's 2 turnovers were due to the pressure on him.  Andrew's fumble....was a great punch out to force it.

No they are not. McD made a decision in the 2nd half to play very conservatively on offense and in the end the Bills won.  What we will never know is whether or not had the Bills kept the pedal to the metal they would have blown the Ravens out or committed a couple of TO's that lost them the game.

 

 

Or worn out their own defense with quick possessions right? I kinda hated it? But I get it
