Balls and Goats

[Crisis]

Is it me or was that the best officiated game we've had in a long time?

[Lexwhat]

Balls:
- Entire defense (yes they stopped the run in a huge way!!!)
- Taron Johnson of course.
- Diggs
- OLine pass protection.


Goats:
- Daboll: Didn’t think he called a great game. Are we capable of running at all?


Not a great game from Gabe Davis, but not quite a goat.

Great point.

Refs let the players play and no blown calls.

[Woodman]

The wind had a huge effect.

Daboll can't plan wind.

Ask the Ravens kicker.

[Night Train]

I took the dog out at halftime, living just north of the stadium. The trees were bending and the gusts were fairly extreme. Not embellishing. It was bad.

Allen missed some throws and the kickers struggled. It's called wind.

We survived and I can't crap on anyone, due to this weather.

[Novacane]

While the wind hurt us, it hurt them far more. I didn't want an indoor Lamar Jackson. HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE.

Ravens were stunned we didn't run the ball until the 2nd half. So much for run and stop the run. LOL

I'll take it. On to the Conference Championship game.

BALLS = Bills

GOATS = Ravens. Get out of my town.

No no no! It's working! Let them keep saying it!

[Tailgunner Joe]

No no no! It's working! Let them keep saying it!

True, I don't think Night Train has any idea what I go through. I have not watched a Bills game this year since the loss to the Chiefs and in games I have watched they were 2-2. IN games I have not? 13-1, stupid Cruds. Also, I sand bag for their own good.

[Borosai]

Balls:
Everyone
Taron Johnson for the play of the game

Goats:
There were a few questionable plays, but no goats after this win


The Bills' passing offense at the very least matched, and outscored, the vaunted Ravens' rushing offense in a windy game. Sure, the stats suffered. The 4 missed FGs between both teams is evidence of the wind's influence on the ball. But the Bills kept passing, and took some unpredictable deep shots just to make sure. None of that matters now. Moving on to the next challenge!

Balls:

The Defense! My god, the defense.

I think that unit may be back!

And i think our O is no good in the crappy winds of WNY. It isn't built for that. It's an O built for playing in a dome.

Goats:

The fact that we have a team that should play in a dome, but instead plays in (perhaps) the windiest, crappiest, out door conditions in the entire NFL with all due respect being given to Chicago.

We are wasting our potential every single year that we play outside in WNY. And this from a person that absolutely LOVES the Ralph and Orchard Park.

We're going to blow it if we don't fix this fast.

Build a damn dome. I never thought i'd say it. But build it.

[Historian]

Balls to the entire organization for smothering the team many felt were going to win it all.

Special recognition:

Taron Johnson. He's got guts running that interception out. I would have taken a knee. It may have been the most defining play in team history, perhaps since Mike Stratton hit Keith Lincoln.

Jerry Hughes. He was coming at Jackson from every angle, and disrupted their passing game, especially when they were forced to throw being behind by two scores.

Goats:
Collingsworthless and Lazy Eye. Listening to them fawn over Jackson the entire game got old. Then when the Bills take a commanding lead and knock him out of the game, they start hyping Brady versus Brees.

I’m assuming you don’t mean Hughes is a goat ?

[Historian]

Yea, not sure how that happened, lol

[Swiper]

Goat: TacklingDummy...I doubted Josh Allen up to this year...I ****ing love you man.

Allen took a step back in this game IMO. His passing > 20 yards were not accurate. He had several guys wide open. He saw them. But threw like EJ Manuel. It was just jitters, I get it. The coaches have to find a way to calm him down a little.

Doesn't matter because the Bills won? Maybe. They did beat a very good team. I don't think KC's secondary is as good as Baltimore's is. Can't believe the Bills are back to the Conference Finals again after all these years. Just balls to everyone.

Collinsworth was fawning all over anyone he thought might turn out to be the game star. I'd rather listen to Aikmen or Romo.

Congrats on the stupidest thing you’ve ever posted

[feldspar]

I gotta give a goat for anyone who doesn't understand how much the wind played a huge factor in this game. They are very annoying to listen to, especially after we won.

We are one game away from the Super Bowl. Enjoy it.

Who ever the Bills play next week I’m betting

KC/Cleve 45
Bills 17

It’s worked both times so far.

[Historian]

If there is one criticism from yesterday, I think it's our 3rd down defense.

I believe they gave up 3rd and 10+ yards at least 3 or 4 times.

I understand that's part of a bend don't break philosophy, but it's maddening when they stuff em on 1st and second, then give up a long one on 3rd down.

[imbondz]

But you have to look at the defense overall. How do you criticize a D who gave up 3 points to the Ravens??

[TigerJ]

Balls: Taron Johnson, of course
Jerry Hughes
The offensive line
Diggs
Leslie Frazier

Goats: Why bother

I do think the wind was a significant hindrance to both teams. How many of those Josh Allen deep passes might have been completions/touchdowns?

While I saw the same thing I would suggest he was actually demonstrating he moved forward. He didn't implode into bad decisions out of desperation. He kept working what the big picture of the game plan was asking him to do. He seemed pretty darn focused for 4 quarters last night even though it wasn't necessarily going well. The missed passes and impact on the stats will all work themselves out in the wash.
