**Buffalo at Baltimore** (+3) (51) (1 Viewer)

[Ministry of Pain]

Bills are still steaming from last Sunday at Miami

Go!

 

[The Kerminator]

Any locals have a weather update.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

I'm hearing Rain and perhaps light to steady drizzle in the 1st half and then it appears the storms could be much heavier towards the 3rd and 4th Q

I'm not a weatherman but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night

Did a Madden simulation on this one and I don't think it was accurate,but I'll put the score out there anyway...

Bills- 51
Ravens- 45

 

[Uruk-Hai]

I picked Buffalo 30, Baltimore 26 in the Bills thread yesterday. I'll stick with that (until I change my mind). I could see the Bills blowing out the Ravens, but don't see the opposite happening. The big key, to me, is if Ronnie Stanley can play. Otherwise, it's gonna be a rookie at LT who has never played there before.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Any locals have a weather update.

It's sloppy, rainy, breezy

 

[(HULK)]

It's gross out and the rain is light now but expected to ramp up throughout the game.

I'm going to be on the field in a couple minutes, let me know if you want me to look for anything.

Got to talk to Buffalo's GM earlier via my neighbor's connection to him, nice guy.

 

[(HULK)]

Actually, weather is currently pleasant. Hope it holds.

 

[(HULK)]

Knox looks full speed... For him

 

[(HULK)]

I'm 6'4", 240... Was just right next to Dawkins... That guy made me feel small and tiny.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

What a play on 3rd and 8 to create the turnover with the Ravens interception

 

[GroveDiesel]

Welp. Not sure what Knox was doing there. Not a great throw but Knox totally short armed that.

 

[GroveDiesel]

That’s as bad a start as you can get for Buffalo. In the Bills thread I said that turnovers very well may decide this game. Not looking good for Buffalo so far. All 3 of their plays on the first drive were awful.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Allen trying to do too much early. Needs to dial it back a bit and stop trying to do too much.

Would probably help if the running game didn’t suck so much and put too much pressure on Allen.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Ravens get away with clear PI as he clearly hit him early IMO.

 

[Grigs Allmoon]

Sloppy play so far by the Bills. This second drive by Baltimore could be telling.

 

[Grigs Allmoon]

So close Groot...

 

[GroveDiesel]

Oh, Jerome Boger is the head ref in this game. Well, that explains a lot.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Dobbins looking spry

 

[Grigs Allmoon]

Terrible read of the play there by Edmunds.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Buffalo really missing Oliver and Phillips early. Baltimore having a lot of success up the middle.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Ravens just dominating Bills so far. Buffalo can’t stop them at all on offense and Buffalo’s offense totally out of sync and looks terrible.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Completely unprepared to play.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Nice drive for Baltimore. TD Dobbins

 

[GroveDiesel]

You’ve gotta be kidding me. Total disaster for Buffalo so far.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Nice work by McDermott in having his team ready to play. I have little faith that this team will ever get over the hump now with him as the head coach.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Goodness. The Bills come with a corner blitz and the CB was clearly grabbed by the back of the jersey for a bit and no holding called. Jackson with the easy throw to a wide open Dobbins. Absolutely meltdown by Buffalo on both sides of the ball. They need to decide exactly who they are right here.

How does this not get called?

Yeah, that was about as bad as it gets. Almost as bad as whoever recorded that clip.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Buffalo bailed out a bit on that OPI call. Seemed like the kind of thing not usually called. Helps the Bills stay in the game.

Lol, true.

This guy with a better still shot.

Yeah, that was a bit ticky-tack, but not too bothered due to a couple other calls so far. Like... the crown of the helmet to Josh's facemask.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Lordy, is this gonna be a bitching about the refs thread?

 

[Grigs Allmoon]

WTF was that 3rd and 1 play. I was thinking the same thing at a few key moments last week. You need to run Allen on these critical short yardage plays. It's nearly unstoppable to run a QB power sweep.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Buffalo’s O-line has not been good at all this year and the short yardage playcalling has been even worse. Just putrid.

One deep ref's view was blocked by Jackson. But the other deep ref had a clear view and should've called it.

What's up with the conservative play calling on short yardage?

 

[The Duff Man]

The Bills don’t look interested in continuing this game. Just waiting for the bus

 

[GroveDiesel]

The Ravens are absolutely dominating in the trenches on both sides of the ball.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

No freaking way

 

[GroveDiesel]

Unreal. Buffalo should just pack it up and go home.

 

[GroveDiesel]

My goodness, absolutely nothing going right for Buffalo. Just mistake after mistake after mistake.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Allen needs to put a little more touch on those short passes.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

My goodness, absolutely nothing going right for Buffalo. Just mistake after mistake after mistake.

This is my fault, I took their offense in the offense-defense contest.

 

[Grigs Allmoon]

Unreal. Buffalo should just pack it up and go home.

And a couple more drops since you posted that.

This is just plain ugly.

Crowder, McKenzie making mistakes. All three RBs.

I dunno... Put Singletary back in. Shakir is active, right?

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Ravens aren't doing themselves any favors with the penalties

 

[Uruk-Hai]

That 99 for the Bills is a large chap

 

[The Duff Man]

Poyer gets away with one.

 

[Grigs Allmoon]

Wow. Poyer was more early on that play than the one that should have been called on the Ravens earlier.

 

[GroveDiesel]

These refs suck (to be expected of a Jerome Boger crew).

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Oh, Queen. That may come back to haunt Baltimore
