Pretty sure one of them also said Lamar was the best player on the field. 

 

It's obvious the Lamar-MVP talking heads are going to push the narrative Lamar played great and it wasn't his fault to cover their takes.  Still waiting for all the ones who said "whoever wins this game is the MVP" - I'm sure they'll be walking that back now.

 

And now every show will be plastering Allen 0-3 in playoffs against Mahomes - and NEVER say "but Josh played great and it wasn't his fault"

It’s annoying for us but trust this is a good thing as it pertains to this teams mentality going into KC.

And yet we keeping winning that way. 🙄

 

If you're playing a team that can strike quick, you're a dummy if you dare them to do that on you.

 

We don't keep winning that way though. It keeps being the thing that loses us close games.

Yes - I was going to add at least the "Ravens were the better team, they should have won" is more disrespect fuel for the team this week.  Josh's post-game comments on being disrespected were out of character - if he is saying that you know it is a real thing in the locker room

[muppy]

one observation after our dub last night is how much offense we fan base are allegedly taking from these TV NFL pundits dissing our team and our players.

 

I think it's all a bunch of baloney. They Must realize the narrative going into KC should be the Bills Will battle to win this game. a slugfest. Forget all this BS rhetoric.

 

Bring on the doubters and all their skepticism. It's a HUGE matchup.  Our team really needs no bulletin board piffle to fuel their hunger for a Championship

It's obvious the pro Lamar-MVP talking heads are going to push the narrative Lamar played great and it wasn't his fault to cover their takes.  Still waiting for all the ones who said "whoever wins this game is the MVP" - I'm sure they'll be walking that back now.

Lamar was amazing if you ignore that spin-a-rama fumbled that completely changed the game script and gave Buffalo a 2 possession lead.  And if you ignore the interception that would have been an INT even if Batemon turned upfield.  Other than that, how was the show Mrs. Lincoln?

Lamar was the MVP for both teams last night - led his team back, but HIS two turnovers cost his team in the end.  He looked like he has his entire career, incredible athlete who cant stand and process reads.  Once the first read was taken away, he was heads down, curl out of the pocket, look up, and hope the Ravens players could create separation after 4-5 seconds of running around so he could hit an open receiver.

 

The number 1 reason Allen is the MVP is the stat everyone threw around last night for the Ravens - they are 2-6 when Henry doesn't rush for 90 yards.  The Bills dont have that stat.  It's all Allen.  For the Ravens, when King Henry isn't going and it falls to Lamar, they dont deliver.  When Lamar is asked to make tight throws or face pressure, he can't do it.  That's not an MVP.  It wasn't an MVP last year, and it sure isn't one this year.

 

Ravens can take their "Best team on paper" award that's starting to look worn because its now the second year they have won it, and go golf for a bit

There is very little more satisfying than starting the snowblower on the first pull and clearing the driveway on a bright, sunny, victory Monday.

Yep, you need some luck in the playoffs if you’re going to reach the big show. 

It's CRAZY to me how many people don't realize this.  Not just luck, but also single game changing penalties or plays.  If you look at the entire run of the Patriots 'dynasty' there would be well over a dozen single penalties (mostly this), turnovers, missed plays by opponents that allowed them to win playoff games - if any one of them doesn't happen in multiple games they have no 'dynasty'  It is NOT just having a great QB or coach - so many things have to line up

I am happy to see this.  I still have visions of Epenesa getting abused for a Henry 85 yarder back in the Titans days and my opinion has been that hes poor against the run since.  At one point I think I said "get AJ off the field" pre-snap.  Then I saw the snap counts this morning and was shocked at how much he was on the field last night.  And now I see why he was on the field so much.  Being 100% incorrect is feeling pretty good right now.

It absolutely was. They can spin this all they want but Lamar is the reason they lost to....

 

No... strike that...

 

Buffalo’s defense is the reason the Bills won today. I hope the smart national media out there will understand that Buffalo had the gameplan and personnel to beat the Ravens today.

 

What they all really hate is that overwhelmingly what they were saying was that our D would be outmatched and Josh would have to go Superman mode to win. Even Dan Orlovsky was saying that!

 

Exactly the opposite happened!

 

They were all wrong so expect them to conspire with their narrative this week.

 

 

Not only were they all wrong about this game…. But they were all wrong to vote Lamar over Josh.  
 

The entire nfl media machine has been hyping Lamar’s for weeks now to justify THEIR narratives.    Josh and the Bills just flipped them all off and are moving on to KC. 
 

I fully expect another week of hearing how bad Buffalo is and how we just can’t beat KC.   Suck it media world… you were all wrong about Josh.  You’re all wrong about their team.

I was so excited after the game that I stayed uo watching TV. I normally go to bed at midnight-1AM but by time I felt sleepy, it as 3 AM! Just woke up at 10.

I take my vitals every morning when I wake up.  Today the pulse was right at 60 and  the BP was right about 120/70 -toeally calm.

Can you imagine the narrative today if Allen had the turnovers Jackson had and the Bills lost?

 

Allen would be getting crucified….yet there are many still pumping Jackson’s tires post-game.

I was screaming at the TV last night at Rasul looking very non-physical and not engaged enough.  Then he made the onsides kick recovery and I was screaming how much i love him...  the playoff emotions, Lol.

That onside was such a stressful play - thinking about the ball/field being slick, the fact if Ravens recover they likely kick game winning FG with no time left with Josh once again leaving field with lead and never getting ball back, and thoughts of another unthinkable way to lose a game - raises my blood pressure just thinking about it

They all said before the game that the Ravens were going to win. They didn't. But they are looking for a way to still be right.

The reason Jackson wasn't pressured is because the Bills choose to contain him more than rush him. My seats are in the end zone and I was watching through my binoculars. The Bills rushers deliberately tried to contain him. Unfortunately that gave Jackson all day to throw.
