Ravens are all over the place and a 1 man team Bills O Line sucks. they are not as good as suppose to be Titans no Henry = Done Chiefs No D and Mahomes is not so good this year. then you got pretender teams like the Browns and Raiders. So here come the Pats again?? This season is awesome when we have no idea

Admitting my clear bias, I still think the Bills are the best team in their division and conference.

They've had too many let down performances (two offensively & one defensively), but they can still stop most teams and put up big points in a hurry.

Obviously, they are prone to let down games like and need to beat a "quality" opponent. Still, the pieces are still there to win it all.

Was wondering who was #17 for the Ravens. Didn’t know they picked up Le’veon Bell.

I was like “Why they got a WR lined up in their backfield all the time?” Haha

I wasn’t able to watch from home this week and it took me forever to figure out what happened without audio.

I get that it’s the right call as the rules stand but it’s a dumb rule and should be looked at.

I don't understand why they don't put Williams at Guard, where he was doing fine, and put either Bates, Doyle, or literally anyone else at RT with tight end/halfback help. If you give Allen time, we have the WR talent for someone to come open. But these spread shotgun looks are terrible for him, he cannot handle immediate pressure up the middle, and our looks are too predictable. Witness how many times we try a quick pass to the outside and they blitz the nickel back from that side to jump in his passing lane.

Roche was a sixth round pick for the Steelers this year, nice fumble in the Giants game

You tell no lies, brother.

Just horrendous execution and game plan from the offense. Completely disheartening, but they need to bounce back against the Jets.

Thankfully, Las Vegas, Cincinnati, Dallas, etc. had let down losses too.

I almost expected a dud but credit to Denver, they never let us get going.

Too many drops… bad decisions.

I felt like all they needed to do was score to get going and it never happened until the game was over.

I don't see it changing. Should they also change other multi-turnover plays so that if the original line to gain isn't passed it's just the next down?
