I saw Rich, Jeff1220 and Wys at Sliders before the game, and met a bunch of cool people.
A few general comments:
-The Ravens stadium and use of media during the game (particularly replays) are impressive. The stadium is also loud as hell when the ravens are on D and deadly silent when they're on O.
-This is the second Bills game I've been to in Baltimore, and both times I've been treated really well by the fans. I took my share of taunts, but it was mostly good-spirited and no one was malicious. One Ravens fans even bought us beer.
Now, onto football:
-Our D played well enough to win but the O blew it- will we ever get both right at the same time?
-I never noticed this on TV, but from our seats, one reason for our horrid run D was finally apparent: The Bills' DL spreads out along the LOS. The DE's play wide to use their speed for the pass rush, and when the DT's don't clog the middle, it creates huge running lanes.
-Losman made bad decisions on both INT's.
-The offensive playcalling was horrendous again. Royal shifts to the point of attack on every running play, which tips off the D. The plays are too easy for defenses to read. Oh, and Royal blows.
-To the Ravens' credit, they have one hell of a pass rush and McAllister is lightning fast. Ray Lewis isn't what he used to be but he still made some great plays.
-It doesn't bode well for the Ravens in the playoffs that they only managed 12 offensive points against our D.
-Fowler had an awful game.
