**Sunday Night Football - Ravens at Bills**(+1, 50.5) - Final Score - Bills 41...Ravens 40, nominee for Game of the Year (3 Viewers)

[ChiefD]

First full game I’ve watched today.

Kicker son had a college football game today. Showed up and turns out he was the punter today (never punted in his life). Did an admirable job and made his one and only extra point.

Bombed some 45 yarders in warm ups. Didn’t try any longer than that.

Considering he had to redshirt last year due to pneumonia, a great day. 65 and sunny in Wisconsin. A perfect day .

Hey, man, Congrats to him (and you)! I can’t even imagine how proud you must be!

who schedules a college game on NFL kickoff Sunday?

His college (NCAA D3) plays a JV schedule. So his conference participates. They usually play a 5-7 game schedule depending on the year.

When we visited the school originally two years ago, his head coach promised that when your kid comes here, they will play college football. So every kid on the roster gets to play in every JV game. Some kids play more than others of course.

The varsity team takes the best kids of course, and you have a chance to move up if you perform. So its cool because parents pay a lot of money for college and they get a chance to see their kids at least play.

Most schools at this level take pretty much anyone that can afford to pay tuition. With no chance of ever seeing the field.

This coaching staff is amazing and really cares about the kids. And the college is a winning program historically. It’s a pretty neat deal. Last year when my son was a freshman and got sick, we heard from the programs head coach and special teams coach every day just checking on him. And the head coach was directly involved with the academic team to make sure he had opportunity to do his work remotely from our house while he recovered.

An amazing program and school.

I love this.

 

[renesauz]

Honestly can't think of a team/fanbase more deserving of a ring other then maybe Detroit

 

[Donnybrook]

Buffalo D is a liability. Feel like Josh Allen needs to stand on his head to win this game.

Ravens seem like a more balanced team with more talent on both sides of the ball.

 

[travdogg]

Bills look awful

And suddenly they woke up. Maybe they heard me.

Their defense is legitimately mediocre at best, its not just the Ravens who will have success against them.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

1. Bernard got held
2. You cannot arm tackle Derick Henry. Why even try that?

 

[oswizzle]

James Cook like his brother during the Jets stint I drafted him everywhere

 

[ChiefD]

Henry looks skinnier

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Everyone who used Justice Hill as a DFS punt play is boned.

 

[The Gator]

Henry looks skinnier

That was Hill

 

[renesauz]

James Cook like his brother during the Jets stint I drafted him everywhere

He'll be fine this year

Good stand there. Missing lots of guys and stilll not playing horribly.

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Good grief, Cannon arm throw

 

[ProstheticRGK]

There is :01 on the clock!!!!

 

[renesauz]

took too long

 

[renesauz]

WOW

 

[dickey moe]

Clutch play.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Glad to see them get this right.

 

[ChiefD]

So tired of the refs always ruling in favor of the Bills.

 

[renesauz]

Glad to see them get this right.

me too, but TBH it sure seemed to take too long to me

 

[renesauz]

So tired of the refs always ruling in favor of the Bills.

I mean...really? Clock clearly hadn't hit 0 when he landed OOB

 

[Cobbler1]

Orr is still a moron. That’s all.

I believe he was being ironic/sarcastic as his Chiefs get all the calls.

 

[efactor]

Have to wonder why Henry was out of the game at the 2 minute warning when Ravens were in red zone. He's only averaging 12 yards a carry tonight.

Not a great receiver?

You wouldn't have needed to pass. 3 carries and he scores. Well, probably wouldn't have taken him 3 carries but you get the point.

didn't they run 3x in a row?

Maybe but I have my doubts that was an issue with only 10 touches.

The run by Hill for -13 yards was a thing of beauty. Henry probably would have done better

Yeah, but the Bills were expecting Henry, or it would’ve been -19 yds from Hill. That’s +6 yds

 

[Capella]

Dying at that blitz from 20 yards away. Looked like a madden glitch.

 

[The Frankman]

My God what a drive by the Ravens.

 

[Capella]

These guys are ridiculous.

 

[efactor]

Well, that didn't take long.

Ravens offense is damn good

 

[travdogg]

I feel like if he were ever featured, Zay Flowers would be a top-15 WR. Dude wins deep, is a monster RAC guy, and has an elite QB.

It reminds me about how people felt about AJ Brown when he was a Titan with Tannehill. He'd live with like 6-8 targets a game and never get featured as the main threat. Ironically, his RB was Henry then... seems to be a trend.

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Clear PI

 

[renesauz]

easy call, was practically tackling him

 

[The Frankman]

Jaire completely lost the ball and played the receiver instead of relocating the ball. I HATE it when DBs never look for the ball.

 

[renesauz]

Dont think I'd be intentionally running my MVP QB from the 5 on first down in week one

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

I needed that.

 

[renesauz]

there's my 30, I can rest easy now

 

[timschochet]

This game is just getting started.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Maybe Cook won’t have TD regression.

 

[renesauz]

BUffalo D might be struggling, but this Buffalo O seems to be moving the ball ok against the vaunted Ravens D also

WHY, down 6 or 7 isnt much difference, dont take the point off the board

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

WHY, down 6 or 7 isnt much difference, dont take the point off the board

yeah I hated that call. Thats some Madden 10 level decision making.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Coleman with a boner.

Can we say boner? Boner.

 

[renesauz]

and now down 8 and will need to try again next time.

I think that's just gonna be Buffalo this season. Offense will carry them, defense will kill them against really good offenses and keep mediocre ones hanging around in games. Jets next week will be an interesting test of that.
