What's funny is I was thinking of what the win probability was when Henry scored that TD...had to be at least 95%.

And the Ravens were dumb as hell for punting that ball. You go for it on fourth to win the game with 2 yards to go...

There is no universe you ever give elite QB's that opportunity with 2 minutes to play. I remember Buffalo actually did that to KC last year (went for it) and it worked out. Horrible decision there from Jim H


Yup. You’ve got Lamar and Henry, in no world do you punt the ball to Josh Allen. You have to go for it in that situation

After the Jackson scramble & Henry TD, Robinhood had it below 5 for the Bills. I bought 200 contracts ($10 in total) hoping just for the Bills to get the probability back to around 30-40%……but I did not expect a choke like this

This loss has to be haunting for Baltimore. They have been stigmatized as this team that cannot get it done when it matters so much that it's probably in their head now, and then they proceed do this. I think it showed in their game plan as well, because when the pressure was on late they played so conservatively.

Please let this be the AFC championship game.

Ravens lost because they took the ball out of Lamar’s hands at the end of the game. KC seems to be the only team in the league that can properly close out a game. And the reason KC usually closes these tight games out is because they live and die with Mahomes no matter what.

I’d rather lose by Lamar making a stupid decision vs trying to run it through a 9 man box and punting it back to Allen.

Both sports are so corrupt. The owners and the league offices are all despicable people.

NBA players are gifted athletes who raise their skill level to excel.

NFL, you get freaks, who remake their bodies. They're more akin to the Roman gladiators, who turn their lives over to the sport, even after the playing days when they've mashed their skulls for the entertainment of others.

Yup. And that’s exactly what Buffalo did tonight in the 4th quarter. Buffalo basically knew if they had any chance to win, just give the ball to Allen essentially on every play and just don’t ruin whatever he decides to do.

No one would question Harbaugh for living and dying on putting it in Lamars hands. Thats what you do when you have an elite QB. You give it to him and let him take you to the promise land.

I missed the game but the Ravens have a loaded roster, including on defense. They can’t give up 41 points and 16 points in the last 4 minutes with the expectations they have.

This is what the Ravens do...they always lose games like that. Bill Simmons nailed it on his pod last night. Can't stand the Bills

I feel like a huge nerd almost equivalent to the Justin Herbert following, but for some reason I really believe in this Ben Johnson thing and I'm sneaky excited for that game tonight.
