I think the Ravens could have beaten KC the way both teams played. Mahomes has an uncanny ability to do just enough to win, but I think Lamar could have matched him.

With how clutch Lamar was that second half and the revenge factor (which hasn’t helped us much) I think you are right. Lamar is better than Allen also. I am so mad at Mark Andrews for denying us a chance. There is the strong possibility we lose on refball but I’d still rather have made it obviously.

It’s kind of wild to me that Allen is getting more praise for that desperation heave to Kincaid while some have criticized Lamar’s throw to Mark Andrews, all while the Bills started a Lamar is coddled by the media more than any player narrative. I am glad the Bills lost

Can you DM what reply of yours I deleted? You're definitely right and I apologize, but I want to make sure I know which it was.

I will add, the reason I want to know is because if it's in a game day thread, those are already toxic cesspools and we don't need a political discussion going on when over half this board rages at a completed pass four three yards by the opposing offense.

I do want to make sure that this board is welcoming for new members and doesn't turn people off because they see the board is leaning one way or another, but I also try not to overmoderate, so if you could DM so I can get an idea, I would appreciate it.

No need to apologize, brother!

I shouldn’t have even replied the way I did to your statement regarding Elon, as everyone’s entitled to their own opinions. I have a lot of respect for the Mods on here and I shouldn’t have engaged. I’ve just been a bit tense since our loss.

I will drop it!

I actually thought the referees were fine in the KC-Buffalo game. I thought the only horrible call in the Buffalo-Baltimore game was the DPI. I think the referees have been largely okay. I also have the mindset that you need to play well enough to remove the referees from the equation and the Bills didn't do that. The Ravens, when they aren't turning the ball over, can definitely handle their own destiny.

I'm glad the Bills lost, too. It does suck that we have the Eagles and Chiefs, so I'm rooting for team meteor. But whole heartedly agree that Allen is getting way too much slack for his poor play because the box score looks good. People in 10 years will see the Ravens lost to the Bills off two Lamar turnovers and then go, "Allen was let down by his defense!"

Difference is- Lamar battled back and made the most of his opportunities. Allen had opportunities and squandered them twice in the fourth quarter. But fans won't remember that next year and it'll be Lamar the choker and Allen playing so well just to be stifled by his team.

He’s only gonna get better as he gets a bit more of an nfl conditioning program into him too

But he showed all the positive traits we saw on his college tape that said he was the best pure cover corner in the class and why I had a top 10 grade on him initially (it dropped a bit during the process later on)

After week 4, I think you could nit pick that OCCASIONALLY he'd give his guy too much cushion and he dropped a few balls he could've caught. Outside of that he was just a complete lock down. Nearly never saw number 2
