I was on the Bills, but I felt they were holding on for dear life as the game went on. Henry was finally imposing his will and when that happens, the Ravens are unstoppable. Receivers were running wide open. But hey, Lamar Jackson is known to make mistakes, especially in the playoffs and that is what happened in the 1st half. Buffalo seemed to have problems with the slick ball, but it killed Baltimore in key moments.

Feared this would happen so I'm not surprised. The elements were not kind to Andrews. Such a shame that he couldn't come up clutch but it really shouldn't have got to that point.That's the first live game most of these Ravens have played in the snow including Lamar and Andrews. Slippery indeed. Bills have practiced and played in these snow games once or twice a year so it's nothing new to them.
Once again, the Ravens have got away from their game plan although not as egregious as the AFC Championship game last season. Bills did a great job containing Henry in the 1H. Ravens didnt completely abandon running the ball like last year in the 2H seemed like a good sign then for whatever reason they stopped using Henry again in key situations. Henry was doing much better too running the ball. Lamar should have also used his legs a bit more when Henry finally got the running game going.
Ravens coaching staff just seem to get a little too cute and do stupid things when they trail by more than a TD. I did not agree with going for 2 in the 3rd quarter but that's Harbaugh for you. Only team that beats the Ravens are themselves, gets themselves into situations where it comes down to the final minute on a game deciding play then fails miserably. That's been the Raven way lol.
I have nothing against the Bills because they're just like us, trying to be a great team that's been dying to go back to the Super Bowl. I enjoy this rivalry it's competitive and the refereeing to me wasn't that big of a deal like the Chiefs/Texans game was(like I thought it might be). I didn't like that PI call on Tre'davious White in the 2nd quarter but Lamar turned it over twice prior to that. Just can't have those mistakes. The ref didn't decide the outcome here. Ravens were still capable of winning this game but no way a team wins with -3 turnover ratio.
Good luck to Josh Allen against KC and the refs I'll be rooting for you
Sip on that plus money honey!

That fumble was more costly than the drop This game will be remembered for decades as the “Mark Andrews game”. He will never be the same player. Psychologically impossible to recover from.

Comparing this to Buckner is ridiculous, unless the media takes it that way. This was a quarterfinal game...not the Superbowl. Lamar would have choked in one of the next 2 weeks as usual.
There are mistakes that happen every year in this round. Why is this any different than Goff with his INTs or the trick play from Jameson Williams and the INT. The Houston kicker missing 3 kicks. Stafford taking a bad sack with a chance to steal the game. Is it the O-Line’s fault? Andrews should be forgotten by next week, but will live on because of all the made-up hype for Lamar and all the morons who think he one of the top 3 QBs in the league. In any of those other 3 games, those teams could have moved on, but one player choked.
I told my buddies before this weekend Daniels will probably win a SB before Lamar. They all laughed...none are laughing today. Time will tell as Daniels is still young, but he is more accurate than Lamar and makes pretty good decisions for a rookie.
For those saying Buffalo was dead, did you watch the game? They built the lead of 11 at halftime off of Lamar’s mistakes. The only time they got stopped in the first half was on a phantom hold or this game may have been 24-10 or 28-10. I do agree the PI call was weak, but they still get a FG there on that drive so it really evens out. It is still 20-10 or 24-10 without the phantom hold.
As some have pointed out, Buffalo played conservative in the 2 half because they didn’t need to score – exactly like KC did last year. They wanted to make Lamar beat them with his arm (same as KC did). That first 2-point play was a great example. He just needed to float a pass to Likely and easy 2 points. Not sure why nobody is talking about that. That was all Lamar. Some could argue that is an easier pass to make than catching a low throw in the snow.
In the 2 half, when Buffalo needed to score at 21-19, they did. And if they needed to score at 27-27, they likely would have. The line was -700 when it was 27-19. That’s all you need to know. There was never a time in this game where Buffalo was not in control of this game. Given Allen’s history, he likely puts them in position to kick a FG. Get 40 yards in 1:30 with 3 timeouts. I would even bet on Lamar with those odds (if he gave it to Henry...haha)

Lamar will never win a championship he'll win the regular season MVPs and all the hype of his speed and this year was going to be special with Henry in the backfield guess what typical choke job Lamar Jackson. In the playoffs he is Fool's Gold .See you next year fools it will happen again and again

Looks like Lamar was Rhett Butler and Harbaugh was Scarlet O'Hara? I have done that one myself this year, too many good writeups with boop the wrong conclusion. Of course these games mostly turn on a dime.
Mark Andrews should join a monastery and pray for forgiveness the rest of his miserable life. Of course instead, he will buy a brand new Ferrari and forgetaboutit.
