Buffalo Bills get outcoached and can’t seize any momentum in 35-10 loss to Baltimore Ravens

I said yesterday and I will say it again: no big deal! This game is a reminder that things can go wrong, and this team has things to work on. Defensively a lot went wrong, but some things still went right. On offense, a lot went wrong, but some things still looked pretty promising. I think that this game really exposed the Bills injuries and thinness, not because Baltimore was necessarily a better team, but because they are a bigger team. Despite that, take away the stupid 85 yard touchdown run, and this game wasn't a total defensive failure. Biggest problem was that the Bills started to get it together for a comeback, but the trick play disaster put the Baltimore crowd right back in the game AND led to another 7 points. We will get it together, couple of defensive stars coming back soon, it'll be okay. On to Houston!

[@moose_tracks41]

Henry on the Titans and Taylor and the Colts and the run-happy Eagles were recent big losses/blowouts for the Bills. Now this one. The Bills defense is smaller, so to win up front you have to have consistent coverage in the gaps and quick attack to the ball. They’ve successfully contained Lamar and stopped Henry (when he was a Titan) in the past, but the risk is big if the front seven struggles to hit the gaps and stop the RB before he gets steam. The Ravens played with more intensity and physicality. Plain and simple. First half was putrid! But in the second half, the Bills defense got some stops! They even caused some negative plays and possible turnovers in clutch situations. The offense started to show life in the second half when they rushed with Cook for awhile. Then the trick play f***** all that up. It was a pivotal moment because Buffalo was digging itself out of a hole and had an opportunity there to go up to 17-21. That would’ve energized the team and stifled the crowd a bit…but that opportunity was lost. Coleman bounced back from an early big, disappointing drop. Carter (#90) made a solid stop in the red zone. Spector tracked Lamar and got the Bills’ only sack on the night. It’ll be okay. This team had a lot of changes going into this season, and straight up I expected this team to have a tough growth phase in the first 8 weeks. There are many lessons to be learned here and because of Mcdermott’s history I’m 100% confident the team will address issues immediately. It takes time for these guys to jel, too, and the schedule is unforgiving, so give this team grace and patience. It’ll be fine. GO BILLS 🔵🔴

It was really stupid. They were driving to make it a 1 score game and had all the momentum. Keep your defense off the field and keep the momentum on your side.

[@staceylee7957]

I totally disagree. They had made 2 defensive stops and had scored a TD, they were driving with what they were doing, they had momentum. Ridiculous play.

[@nonenone1534]

Coaching gets an “F” across the board. Flea flicker ? There were plenty of times the Bills had momentum and could not capitalize. F !

[@AntonioTomaselli-e5j]

What happened to all the pre snap motion we saw in the first few games. We need some of that back.

[@adammaurer6271]

I guess I'm in the minority here, because I didn't get that upset about the trick play. Ravens were crowding the line of scrimmage and seemed to clog everything up within 10 yards. Bills were not able to stretch the field much, partly because the O-line couldn't hold up long enough. Maybe a trick play confuses the defense long enough to give Josh a chance downfield. Not a terrible idea in my mind. Let's not let the outcome skew our perspective.

[@johnmarlow7959]

I agree Joe, I said on Dan Mitchell show all week, take the run away from lamar and henry and force lamar to win in the air and if they beat bills they beat them, but bills allowed runs so big and then it got their passes going to and it was a disaster

[@michaelsturdevant9196]

Sounds good, but saying it and doing it are two different things. They're bigger than us, period.

[@davideberhardt4977]

For more than one game the following have been MIA: Taylor Rapp (head injury) and Damar Hamlin, Bill's receivers (excluding Shakir, but not Shakira). The Bills defense was blocked man for man.

[@chap102401]

As some one who has coached football for 15 years don't blame defensive game plan, blame execution. Lots of missed tackles, specifically the first one. Cam Lewis was Terrible, Spector got stuck on blocks 3-4 yds deep. They started blitzing because guys weren't executing. Now I wasn't thrilled with the offensive game plan and again execution was a problem specifically not getting positive yards consistently on 1st down. But all this is with out the all-22 which reveals the truth.

[@campbellBasile]

I agree you need a threat that scares the defense and can win one on one matchups

[@BrianGernatt]

Thank god that Josh didn’t get hurt bad on that trick play!

[@ChrisGenXer]

I couldn’t even get upset last night. After the first Baltimore play with Henry for 87 yards I started laughing because it was like the Bills never played against Henry before and didn’t know how to scheme for him 😂. That said, I crushed it on Draft Kings because I knew Henry was going to run all over them. It was just a sad day for the Bills. I’m more of a realist anyway. People keep praising the Bills about how they throttles the Dolphins and Jags, but the Dolphins were without Tua a large part of the game and the Jags are 0-4…I’m not sure what that really says. However, I appreciate your positive spin on things.

[@christopherbickelman9431]

If you watched the game, it was over long before Tua got hurt

That was a pretty good time for Bass to miss a FG imo. That game was essentially over and it's very unlikely it would have any impact on the outcome of the game. Make 'em when it counts Tyler! Keep your head up.

[@FatBichon]

Babbich got exposed. His defense got blown off the line by Ravens offensive line all game long and he didn’t do anything to generate additional pressure on Jackson. Can’t blame everything on injuries… this game exposed Babbich and McDUMMY for what this team has been the last 5 years or so, beat the cupcakes but fold against equal or better competition

[@RyanDavis-v2z]

@@FatBichon I’m more of the opinion of lazy prep. Everything has worked for 3 weeks so coaching AND PLAYERS expected more of the same. Failure to adapt, adjust, and change up how we play. It was a team issue.

Hey Joe can you clarify the rule on that fumble by Henry that was fumbled forward into the end zone for the TD when I looked it up it said that that should have been a touchback for Buffalo not a touchdown can you make any clarification on that rule I know it would not have changed the game much

[@Vipaworld_Vito]

2 streaks ended 1. Bills had record 45 straight regular season games where they lost by less than 6 2. Allen lost his first game ever with having a no INT game …

[@nealanthony3482]

Bills fans should not be worried. This is a one-time deal. The Ravens' style of smash-mouth football is just not sustainable over a 17 + Playoffs season. The Ravens players, namely the Running Backs and Quarterback cannot ram their heads into 19 teams through the season and still be effective in January. The NFL is now a finesse game. This is exactly why the Ravens always reach the Playoffs and are spent. If this game happens in December, the score would have been flipped. The Ravens run on borrowed time each year becuase of their style of play. They will fade again this year.

[@moose_tracks41]

@@nealanthony3482 Yes, it’s only week 4, and there are a lot of new faces in big roles on both sides of the ball who have to break themselves in. Babich and Brady both got an early punch in the mouth, which is great for down the line.

The Bills defense was run over by a locomotive named Derrick Henry and the Buffalo offensive line was so porous that Josh Allen was constantly scrambling for his life against the Ravens pass rush.

Problem is coaching...bad game plan unable to fix it ...not like mcdermott has never played against Henry. Mcdermott is to stubborn to change.he will always be the same....i wish allen could go to team chance to win super bowl
