Ed Oliver looked good yesterday.
Seriously?Bills about to become the first team since 1966 to not gain a first down in the first half.
Let's hope he gets to play in the second half as the Ravens protect that lead and run that clock down.No, disciplined by Harbaugh after the fumble.
Yes, especially at the 45 yard line - put in Allen and let him heave it.Why are they throwing an 8 yard pass down 26-0 at the end of the half!? Why isn't that a hail Mary?
Yeah, I had high hopes for Collins today. With the fumble and the score completely out of hand he may not play again in the second half - there's no cost to the Ravens for punishing him hard now.Let's hope he gets to play in the second half as the Ravens protect that lead and run that clock down.
I'd be happy with a first down.Taking bets if the bills even score.
True, but he could also get some carries and another fumble won't hurt the team much. I know, I know. Wishful thinking.Yeah, I had high hopes for Collins today.

He has a holding penalty, so I guess he's been out there at least one play.Has anyone seen any signs of Charles Clay? Aren't TEs supposed to help out struggling offenses and QBs?
Honestly, I don't really even think this is a case of the Bills not showing up....I think this is just kinda what the Bills are going to be this season. They're really, really bad. I read an article a week or two ago making the case that they're on-paper the worst team in the NFL. They sure look like it today.You mean Buffalo actually showed up?
I can't tell.

Yeah, this offense is almost hopeless. You lost your 3 best offensive linemen. KB is the only quality receiver we have. Shady is still a quality RB, but there is no blocking in front of him. Plus Nathan Peterson might have a future as a quality backup, but he's never going to scare anybody no matter what weapons you put around himHonestly, I don't really even think this is a case of the Bills not showing up....I think this is just kinda what the Bills are going to be this season.

The #2 CB spot was a bit shaky, then their nickle CB got hurt, plus they've been on the field pretty much the entire game.Yeah, this offense is almost hopeless.

But last year we at least had a secondary - 3 passing TD's to Joe Flacco?
And of course Buck Allen gets the freebie TD instead of CollinsMy fantasy opponent drafted the Ravens DST two spots before I was going to take them. I felt pretty good picking up the Saints DST - not so much now
I kinda figured Josh Allen would be starting by the end of November, but he might be starting by the end of September.
New yr, same as the old yr.And of course Buck Allen gets the freebie TD instead of Collins
Don't agree with Allen being in the game.
Why? They're getting killed. They have no shot at winning. There is zero pressure at this point. Get him some snaps.Don't agree with Allen being in the game.
Don't throw your rookie to the wolves.Why? They're getting killed. They have no shot at winning. There is zero pressure at this point. Get him some snaps.Don't agree with Allen being in the game.
Yep.Why? They're getting killed. They have no shot at winning. There is zero pressure at this point. Get him some snaps.
Why not? He can play loose knowing that nothing he does can make it worse. Who cares if he throws 3 INTs? He's playing with house money right nowDon't throw your rookie to the wolves.
This. Not when Baltimore is just teeing off now, with rain and wet field conditions. Good way to get the rook injured.Don't throw your rookie to the wolves.
Because the Ravens will be 100% pass rush mode and he may get killed. That's why I didn't want to trade McCarron - I want at least two other QB's to get injured first before Allen has to go in.Why? They're getting killed. They have no shot at winning. There is zero pressure at this point. Get him some snaps.
Cause he fumbled and Harbaugh doesn't like that.How does Collins only have 7 carries?
The way Baltimore is playing, seems like a good way to get your rookie shellshocked.Why not? He can play loose knowing that nothing he does can make it worse. Who cares if he throws 3 INTs? He's playing with house money right now
He's much more likely to see vanilla defense from here on out. Baltimore isn't going to show a lot of exotic schemes up 40 in the back half of the 3rd.The way Baltimore is playing, seems like a good way to get your rookie shellshocked.
I'd agree, but not in the 3rd qtr.He's much more likely to see vanilla defense from here on out. Baltimore isn't going to show a lot of exotic schemes up 40 in the back half of the 3rd.
