Going in blind off the first 42 pages, so sorry if any of this has already been said.
Buffalo winning this game is so impressive to me. I know there were some early turnovers, but I think anyone who watched the full game (especially the 3rd quarter) saw how much better the Ravens roster was than the Bills. I said yesterday that I thought Baltimore was the most complete team in football, and you could see that when they weren't hurting themselves - they were moving the ball at will.
Allen has played with so much restraint this year, and it has been so impressive to me. We know he can put up HOF stats, but this year he and the Bills have had ZERO margin for error. They win games with an outmatched roster by playing ball control offense and forcing good teams to become impatient and make mistakes. Today was an example of what they have been doing all year long.
I know Lamar didn't play great early on in this game, but I thought he rebounded well in the 2nd half and lead a very impressive 88 yard dive at the end - coming up short with the 2pt drop. Hate to see that for him, but ultimately the early mistakes put them in that hole. Again, this is what Buffalo does to good teams, this year.
Since week 10, the Baltimore D has been #1 in everything. They have been totally elite. I have no idea how Buffalo beat this team with no real #1 WR. Really it's just the threat of Josh Allen going 2011 Drew Brees mode that keeps the defense honest enough for Buffalo to dink and dunk the clock away and pull out these wins. Very impressive from them. This Baltimore team was really, really good.
