**Sunday Night Football - Ravens at Bills**(+1, 50.5) - Final Score - Bills 41...Ravens 40, nominee for Game of the Year (2 Viewers)

[VaTerp]

Henry is human after all.

What a FN game!

 

[timschochet]

Amazing game

 

[Ministry of Pain]

How could a Super Bowl be any better than what we just watched?

 

[JoeKappBudGrant]

Gag job and bad coaching.

Late in the first half, Baltimore could have let the play clock run all the way down and then called a time out before kicking a field goal. It would have run 2 or 3 more seconds off of the clock. Those precious seconds gave Allen just enough time to get a field goal before half time.

 

[crushedspirit]

That was epic

 

[unckeyherb]

Unreal. What a ****ing game

 

[GroveDiesel]

Wow. Just wow. What an unreal game. I’m still not sure how the Bills won this game. Lamar and Henry were just unstoppable all night. Buffalo’s defense is going to have to improve for them to be a legit contender IMO.

 

[Mister CIA]

Artisanal clock management.

 

[ignatiusjreilly]

Wow. This game. I should have expected nothing less.

How old is Prater?

No joke. For half a second I was like, "Is that Jim Kelly on the sidelines?"

 

[oswizzle]

that game was insane

 

[Truebluey]

Wow. So glad I stayed up for this one. One of the most incredible games I've ever seen.
Sad looking at Coleman on my bench in what will probably be his best game of the year, but this is a game where fantasy takes a back seat.

Henry was very stoppable at at least one key moment

 

[BassNBrew]

Sad that Lamar gets stuck with such a poor coach.

One of these 2 teams is surely representing the AFC in the Super Bowl this year, right?

 

[Mongidig]

I thought they might have gone for it 4th & 2. It woulda been super ballsy.

One of my iron rules is "Don't give the ball back to elite QBs with a chance to win the game". I wonder if Henry's fumble had them a little spooked

Yep. The Ravens should have gone for it on 4th.

 

[rockaction]

A totally stark contrast to Kansas City. That team better have an all-time defense if they even want to think about sniffing a championship game.

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Prater on the sideline earlier looked like he climbed out of a whisky bottle just in time to kick the game winner.

I hope so. Done with KC.

 

[Donnybrook]

Baltimore is going to take their rage out on the Browns next week.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Refs weren’t the story line, either.

Well, outside the terrible spot and the critical non-DPI call.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Baltimore is going to take their rage out on the Browns next week.

I’m so happy I have BAL D/ST in 2 big leagues because of that.

 

[BassNBrew]

I would be perfectly fine with these two teams playing best of 17 on Sunday night, winner gets playoff bye, loser gets a wildcard.

Patting myself on the back here...POTY.

Such a stark contrast to the crapshow on Thursday night.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

Wow. +1.5 baby!!

 

[hooptd]

That was so fun to watch as a football fan

 

[GroveDiesel]

Man, Ravens have to feel like it’s a repeat of the loss from the beginning of last year against the Chiefs.

As a Bills fans, I really didn’t like what I saw from their defense tonight, but man if this isn’t exactly the types of games the Chiefs and Brady Patriots always seemed to pull out in earning themselves the #1 seed by the end of the year and a path to the championship. I love the team gutting it out and finding a way to win in the end.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Allen had 251 yards passing in the 4th quarter. That’s…pretty good.

Yep. The Ravens should have gone for it on 4th.

Baltimore's first 2 plays were too passive. Let Lamar cook. I would have run play action or RPO all three downs.

The punt was the most obvious screw-up, but Harbaugh made a ton of mistakes down the stretch of that game

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

So any word on Andrews?

Kind of wild he got 1 target. Just… what?

 

[rockaction]

They are talking on Twitter/X about how close Kyle Hamilton was to blocking that kick. And he was. I could see that in real time. His reaction was like "Oh, damn! I almost had that." He got inside a defender and missed it by like six inches.

 

[fatness]

What an entertaining game to watch.
Nice to see Harbaugh botching another one, while standing on the sideline with his "the world is screwing me over again" face on.

 

[ignatiusjreilly]

It’s a Week 1 tradition!

 

[RenegadeRoy]

Flacco REVENGE GAME

 

[Capella]

How could a Super Bowl be any better than what we just watched?

Oh, it won’t be

 

[Boston]

So any word on Andrews?

And that is with Likely not playing.

 

[davidwb]

and without Andrews playing, either (well -- he did play, but was only a blocker).

 

[karl.Racki]

One of the best games I have watched... Awesome week 1 might have produced two of the best games of the season in Steelers/Jets, Raves/Bills

 

[Ghost Rider]

This was the classic "it's too bad one of these teams has to lose" games. Both Allen and Jackson were awesome (THE two best QBs right now).

This is not second guessing, as I said it in real time (not just here, as I wasn't online), but Harbaugh should have gone for it on that 4th and 3 at the end. Let Lamar get you the 1st down and the game is over. The Bills were ripping through the Ravens defense like stuff through a goose in the 4th quarter and them driving the field to win felt inevitable if they got the ball back.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

-My son was asking how old Prater was before he kicked that FG

 

[Snotbubbles]

I fell asleep at halftime.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

if the Bills TE is going out of bounds in Baltimore vs Buffalo at the end of the 1st Half...you know where I'm going with this
I'm just saying in Balitmore, that FG attempt is not happening

I'm sorry but he really wasn't down with 1 seconds left, either change the clock to include decimals or don't but it seems apparent on that one final play that suddenly the clock stops and the Tight End has not even gone to the ground yet

I am not calling the game rigged or crying foul, I don't think the Bills are gonna get that FG opportunity if that game is played in Baltimore

 

[Deamon]

I fell asleep at halftime.

First half wasn't THAT boring.

East Coast time zone is the absolute worst for sports. No idea how people can wait until 1pm for games to start on Sundays, and not have the night games end until Midnight.

Very true, It's hard after an afternoon of beer, liquor and greasy food to stay up for the night game
I decided to skip the 4th Q of the 4:00 games, took a nap and turned on the Bills-Ravens in the 2nd Q and was about to turn it off at 40-25
Especially when the Bills punt on.a drive they had to have with like 8-9 minutes left and the Ravens decided to be conservative in their play calling the last half of the 4th Q

Yeah, it's not east and when they add the 9:30 game in Europe...now we're talking 14-15+ hours of NFL, it's fun don't get me wrong but I need a little nap in there somewhere

They got that call right. They showed the split screen a bunch and showed him down with a clear :01 left on the game clock.

Longest 1 second I've ever seen and again, in Baltimore, the Ravens are in the locker room IMHO

He didn’t need to go to the ground. Just needed one body party to touch out of bounds. Which his foot did while the clock was still showing 1.

They pretty much WERE in the locker room already. The refs had to call them back and tell them to hold on.

The foot hit clearly with 1 second left. The broadcast focused on his *** hitting the ground, which it also did with 1 second left but barely. If they looked harder at it they'd see the foot hit with plenty of time to spare.
