This was my thought process as Lamar threw that ball

 

1) damn, wide open

2) (sees ball going towards Mark Andrews hands) aight Josh got this (turns away to sit down)

3) (hears "drop") WHAT?!

4) Oh my god I feel so bad for him

 

Yup......Couldn't believe he dropped it.  Was ecstatic for us, obviously, but we have been on the wrong end of those moments so many times I've lost count and you can't help but feel bad for the guy.  Obviously for his sake, I wish we would have just won the game by double digits so it wouldn't have mattered, but as we all know as Bills fans, sports are cruel in so many ways. 

 

It's one of the reasons I am having trouble focusing on the game this week.  While I truly believe we are the better team, I have also thought this the last couple times we have played them in the Playoffs and we all know what happened.  It's almost like no matter how much I try to get amped up for this game, it's like my head is telling me that I have to see it to believe it in terms of beating this team when it truly matters.  Praying that happens Sunday night. GO BILLS!

I'm sure I'll get killed for this, but...

Sometimes I feel like the Bills charity donation act is a bit of a troll job. Sort of a passive aggressive "rubbing it in".

They only ever do it after a win, for instance. I don't remember Bills fans ever donating to another team after losing to them, though perhaps someone can correct me.

ON THE OTHER HAND...no donation to worthy charitable causes are EVER a bad thing. So even IF it's a little bit passive aggressive or troll-y or whatever I or others may think, at the end of the day, those in need are receiving much needed financial contributions, and that's a win no matter how you look at it.

Congrats on a great season, Ravens fan, and I'm sure we'll be meeting you again in the playoffs for many years to come.

This is the most passive aggressive post ever written.

I completely disagree about it being “trolling.” Bills fans know exactly how bad it sucks to lose a tough game and the donations are small gesture of kindness to lift up a player or fan base.    It’s turning a negative station into a positive one. That’s why you do see donation drives after a win.  Things are usually positive.  
 

The Mark Andrews situation is no different from what happened with Tyler Bass.  After a falling short in a crucial moment, social media is full of toxicity and death threats.   
 

Saying that the donations are a passive aggressive way of rubbing it in is far from the truth.

It's not a troll job.   There are all kinds of people in any fan base.   A lot of the people donating to his charity were probably the types who were jumping on their tip-toes with a giddy little clap during the Shout song after Bass kicked that chip-shot field goal to make it an 8 point game.   The majority of us in the stands were like "oh well, hopefully we get it back with enough time to kick a game winner before OT".    The majority of us do not donate to these charities.   Don't over-think it.

After what Lamar said to Josh and after the game, I am a fan now instead of a detractor. It was so genuine and uplifting... so many examples of it may make a difference yet.

I have a lot of respect for the Ravens. Great coach, great players up and down the roster. As much as I don't want to like Lamar, I can't help but to like him. He's a good dude and a great player. I have loved Derrick Henry for years. Props to the Ravens for signing him. I have no idea why RB are so devalued? I hate these diva WR that cost over 30 million a year. I'm hoping the success of Henry and Barkley help the RB get more respect. 

 

I thought the Ravens were the team to beat, whoever won the game will go on to win the super bowl.  Let's hope the bills can bring it home!
