Yeah until there is pressure in the playoffs and then he turns the ball over as usual.

He’s the second best QB from that draft class and it’s not even close. (And probably the second best player overall too.)

I think they are an overall better team than the Bills talent wise.  The Bills have a slight advantage at QB IMO but the rest of the roster favors the Ravens.  No matter what people say both teams have elite coaching staffs.   It was an amazing chess match we just witnessed.

 

 

I find it ironic Allen gets knocked for turnovers and every time the Ravens get bounced he has turnovers meanwhile Josh is clean.  When it matters who turns it over?

That ‘slight advantage at qb’ is always the question mark with the ravens though and it seems like it’s gonna continue.  A DC late in the playoffs is gonna come up with a gameplan that befuddles him for long enough to lose the game.  They frequently look like an all time great team in regular seasons

Baltimore could easily be the winner here. We got the bounces. Outside the INT I feel like Lamar played at an MVP

level. 

He frequently looked pretty lost…that real nice drive at the end has distorted it a bit imo 

 

that whole first half was real bad for him and I don’t think he did quite enough to redeem it.

I do not like saying it but the Ravens have more talent than we do. They played without Flowers the entire game and Bateman for most of their last drive.The better team doesn't always win in the playoffs; see today's game and the Lions-Commanders game.

 

There are moral wins and there are moral losses. A moral win is still a loss and a moral loss is still a win.

 

 Bills' win today was a moral loss.

 

The game should not have been this close. The ravens had three turnovers to none for us and would have sent the game into overtime were it not for the Andrews flub at the end.

 

Don't get me wrong. Our D got those turnovers with outstanding plays but once again the game was a tale of two halves. Our O owned them in the first half and struggled in the second half.

 

That last TD drive of the Ravens had me thinking, "Oh no; it's 13 seconds all over."  I get that you go conservative on D in that situation but we got no pressure on Jackson. On a slippery field the receiver has the advantage. What could the D have done to pressure or confuse Jackson? maybe a blitz but that's risky. Does anyone zone blitz anymore?

 

A win is a win. On to KC. It will be interesting to see what we and KC do with schemes. The KC O line has pass protection woes that can be exploited. KC's D is no joke.

 

GO BILLS

Eh, Overtime was far from a given. The Bills would have had about 1:30 or so to move down the field and notch a winning FG.
