Lamar was the best player on the field just needed to said....<sarcasm>....He did commit some turnovers though

Hard to do when you finally get a chance to bask in what you thought was a great win and you get dished the ***** they were dishing out

People who need to "bask" in something they had nothing to do with are likely to be the ones getting their feelings hurt by click bait sports shows.

Yeah, it was really annoying being all excited to tune into coverage this morning, and the only person across multiple channels that was giving the Bills any credit was Dan Orlovsky (thanks, Dan!). Everyone else was still riding the Ravens dick, saying they lost it more than Buffalo won it, blahblahblah...

 

If we had lost last night, and the media all placated us, saying the Bills lost it rather than the Ravens won, it would be nice to hear...and then the week would end, and we wouldn't be playing again, and that would suck. Only one thing matters.

Every game this weekend the losing team should have won. 

Ahhhhh, you’re one of those guys, aren’t ya?

Now that Buffalo beat what many people said was the best team in the NFL

The Ravens now suck and winning means nothing...

[SoonerBillsFan]

Bottom line the National media assclowns didn't get what they wanted, and now they are whining about it.

 

This is a thing I hate about McDermott, we should have put another 21-28 on their asses and let  Josh throw more and they would all have had to sthu.

Yeah RG3 made a disgusting comment back to him. He wisely deleted it.

Twitter is disgusting with the coddling of Lamar. Praising him and blaming everyone else for the Ravens loss 

 

If that was Josh with two costly turnovers he would be blamed 

 

I hate the media 

Saw a post of Ryan Clark last year after the Bills playoff loss to KC.. slamming Josh for “not being a winner “ with Dan O saying the opposite. Today nothing but excuses and support for Lamar- zero vitriol like for Josh. Unreal lack of integrity and consistency!

That's not disgusting. It's true. For me at least.

Well, I don't totally agree but there's some truth to the medias opinion.   Our offense was getting get punched in the gut in the 2nd half and Baltimore only stopped themselves.   If we'd lost we'd be pissed at McD for not being more aggressive on offense.  But we won, so he was right. 

 

Now do we go with the same game plan against KC?  My guess is no but who knows?

 

I disagree….

 

2nd half buf held them to a FG and defended their 2 pt tries. Be aRD punched out the ball.

 

the national media ignored the phantom hold call on Darin’s that killed the post Rapp INT drive that likely would have resulted in points.  Thr fist half the yardage was similar.

 

each team scored 3 TDs, 2FG, and buf punted 3 times vs BAL 3 TOs.  BAL got more yardage because they had longer drives for their scores and on their TO drives.

 

if the score was different BUF might have gone for the TD instead of a FG late. Thry woukd have had 90 sec and 2 ime outs left to get a game winning FG likely needing only 40 or so yards

Well put my man. People forget if the Bills didn't get jobbed on that phantom hold and if they didn't as you said "turtled up" on the 2nd and Goal and settled for the FG all that followed wouldn't have meant squat.

They would have gotten points on that drive if no hold called.

 

In thr 4thQ they could have done a run/ pass option play with Josh with the idea of don’t stop the clock. Make a clear pass or take the loss because they’d settle for 3.

Thats not my issue. My issue is there is genuine sadness amongst some in the media that Baltimore didn’t win which has me confused.

 

Because they're about to look very very stupid awarding a player as many MVPs as playoff wins.

Watch this and especially listen to Robert Mayes in his breakdown of the game for the 1st segment. I love listening to the show. He knows his ball and goes into some interesting stuff not touched upon by the media consistently.

I suspect KC will try to do what Baltimore did to us in the 2nd half yesterday.   I hope we see a more aggressive offense.  

I think we kind of caught Baltimore by surprise running the football effectively in the first half because no one has really been able to do that on them and their second half adjustment was to key in on that mostly.  
 

The execution in the passing game just got pretty sloppy in half two, you’ve gotta be able to hit on those second/third and medium situations in the passing game consistently with how balanced our offense is and we just whiffed on a makeable play to Kincaid and Josh oddly checked into a TE screen to Knox the two times we punted in the second half.  I do think Balt got away with some holds as they often do but that’s to be expected in playoff football and will continue against kc.  Looked like Shakir got held pretty bad one of those drives we get held to a fg. 

I don’t think Brady called as bad/conservative of a game as it seemed in the moment.  Heck the te screen wasn’t even a bad read by Josh numbers wise but he probably shouldn’t have trusted Knox to pick that up with how well Baltimore was rallying to the ball.  There’s probably a few tight window throws Josh would’ve let rip in the second half if we weren’t out in front

What nobody on the national or even local media narrative is picking up on as the reason the Bills won the game is: they have an elite 4-minute offense. It's been building for years now. Possess the rock, grind first downs, convert to points.

 

They did it at the end of the first half, they did it at the end of the second half. They did it against the Broncos. This wins in the playoffs, period, full stop.

History won't look back at this game. We'll either win the Super Bowl or we won't. That's what history will remember.

Yet history remembers and reminds us of the 13 second game. When the winner did not win the Superbowl

We definitely had two of the three best rushing defenses in the league scratching their head a bit about how we were running the ball so well the past few games.  Pretty good warmup for the KC game… you don’t get to say this often but that’s probably the worst rush defense we will see in this three game stretch lol still good but Baltimore and Denver were elite 

 

if we were to beat KC, Washington beating Philly would be massive.  I don’t think Washington could stop us
