NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION NFL Divisional playoffs discussion

[Triumph]

do you think they had a "stop henry" gameplan? Didn't seem like it. Seemed more like Ravens just not using him enough?

Henry rushed for over 5 ypc.

 

[sb1]

Still believe the Brady Pats blow the Chiefs* right out of their own stadium in the 2018 AFC Championship game if some questionable calls didn't let KC back in the game. The illegal pick play giving the Chiefs* a TD comes to mind, also the BS DPI call on JCJ along with a couple of other plays.

As for Chris Jones getting a flag in that game for RTP, he swatted Brady in the facemask and it was not incidental contact. Like it or not by rule that's a flag. Even if the flag was not thrown, that would have only made it 3rd and 7 with plenty of time left in the game and Pats up by 4. The way they were playing is there any doubt the Pats convert and continue the drive?

The league wasn't protecting the Pats and a QB they took to court to suspend him for something he didn't do...they wanted their new golden boy Kermit in the SB there is no doubt about that.

Here's one way to psych up your crowd (though I have to admit, it's a bit pathetic):

 

[UrbanCowboy]

Yes, they had an extra DT in there. McDermott spoke to that plan this morning. Henry's first 5 or 6 runs were all 1 yard gains.

They took away a DB and went with 5 DL, 4 DBs, 2 LB. Look at the snap count. 6 Buffalo DL played 50%+ of the game.

Thanks! Much appreciated. Totally makes sense. I forgot about how they stuffed him early. I don't recall seeing the extra lineman, but I'm a pretty casual fan.

edit: well damn, now I have to give props to McDermott.

Yeah they had heavy personnel designed to stop Henry from doing what he did last game. I think Lamar saw that early and completed some long ones.

What can the Bills do in warning the NFL / Ref Commission to be on alert for collusion with the Chiefs.
The entire tv watching world is seeing the insanity of bias from the Zebras. How can they keep doing this and not get a serious investigation from the rest of the owners? It makes you hate Mahomo & Travis Swift even more.

Buffalo Bills fan wears disgusting Taylor Swift shirt to NFL Playoff game

A Buffalo Bills fan wore a digusting shirt in the stands with Taylor Swift's name on it during the team's narrow win over the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Divisional Round

Imagine being low IQ enough to wear something like this in public never mind the game. It's not like Kelce can see it from KC lol

 

[Grogan14]

He hasn’t worked on his fundamentals, he flicks it, he doesn’t set his feet and pass like a robot like all great passers do. He misses easy passes no QB should miss.

He’s a great athlete, I’d even say a great football player…. he’s not an accurate passer and he holds the ball like a loaf of bread when he runs. He is the Raven’s fatal flaw every postseason.

? Not an accurate passer. 66.7% completion rate seems pretty damn good to me. Only 4 interceptions during the regular season.
In 2024 he was an extremely accurate passer

 

[Sect140]

Henry rushed for over 5 ypc.

Also he only carried the ball only 16 times.

Also Edelman was interfered with on the chris jones rtp penalty which the refs missed (despite calling jcj for 80 pi’s) so it shouldve been a first down regardless

 

[NFL Mystique]

Pats had a ton of momentum on that drive and they most likely would’ve ended the game.

But Welker did it again the following season against the Ravens when the Pats led 13-7. They were about to go into Ravend territory when he dropped a 3rd down pass. They never recovered after that.

These two plays have had a big stain on Welkers awesome career with the Pats.

Edelman made every clutch catch Welker didn't.

 

[NFL Mystique]

Harrbaugh is the most overrated HC in the NFL. He lived off the team built before his arrival and was on the hot seat before Jackson started in 2019. He has carried Harbaugh since.

Jackson is not the one to blame tonight. Mark Andrews ****ed up twice and then you have Harbaugh’s idiotic decision to go for two in the 3rd quarter. When will HC’s knock this **** off?

Jackson had two turnovers in the first half. Allen had none.

Yards and points matter. Turnovers are worth double in the postseason.

But overall...he was good. Not great.

Patrick has been dog **** for about 60 games now.

And yet he will win anyway.

How does it feel known you don't have to worry about the outcome of the game?

 

[Sect140]

Will the bills finally beat the chiefs in the playoffs? Spoiler alert, no.

Yes.

Can the Bills beat the Chiefs and the refs. No.

I assume you are referring to officiating somewhat?

I feel confident in every game. Just like Patriots nation did with Brady.

I doubt you feel very confident based on Patrick mahomes on field play.

He's been pedestrian at best.

And don't compare the two. That's like comparing Alex Smith to Joe Montana.

There’s a difference between a guy like Brady or Mahomes who can thread a needle and hit tight window throws.

Versus a guy who needs scheme, to scramble around, who needs two 6’5” TE’s on the field so he has big targets… they limit the amount of times he throws because the more he throws the more likely there is to be turnovers. Jakobi Meyers has almost a perfect passer rating, I wouldn’t call him an accurate passer.

 

[SVN]

Bills/Chiefs has the colts patriots feel from the early yrs. Every yr people thought the colts were playing better and scary on offense etc ,only to be beaten at gilette. i am afraid next sunday will be similar

 

[Ray Ray 717]

He’s won 3 playoff games since 2018, he rarely can get past the wildcard game. He’s Mike Vick… great on Tecmo Bowl, great in the regular season, can’t get past playoff defenses.

You have to be able to pass accurately from the pocket, make tight window throws and not turn it over in the playoffs…. he can’t.

Michael Vick?

What a distasteful post.

In what way does Michael Vick compare to Lamar Jackson other than skin color?

Break down their actual passing numbers, it’s not even close. Lamar Jackson in a landslide.

 

[upstater1]

Yes.

Can the Bills beat the Chiefs and the refs. No.

Personally, I thought the first Roughing call was ridiculously bad, but the second one was legit. Even though the 2 Texans slammed into each other, though also knocked Mahomes' head as he was sliding.

I thought that Drake Maye's slide that gave him a concussion early in the season should have been a penalty as well, but the NFL didn't even fine the player who did it.
