Can the Bills slowdown the Ravens Offense?

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jump over to the AFC side of the things, and
let's talk about the divisional opponent. This game that I
have circle that I'm going to watch tooth and nail.
I'm staying up late and watched this game with the
Buffalo Bills taking on the Baltimore Ravens. Got the Buffalo
Bills and Baltimore Ravens go to battle in the final
divisional game of the weekend. This is the rematch back

(00:21):
from Week four in which to Baltimore Ravens boat Race
Dad Ass. They beat the Buffalo Bills thirty five to ten.
On the flip side, the Buffalo Bills were injured, right
Josh Allen had that broken hand, No A. Maury Cooper.
There were a lot of people out and the Baltimore
Ravens they were a totally different team as well. But
since then, but since then, both teams have exploded to

(00:46):
the moon baby guys, they like to say, but the
real question the game that gave the game, inside the
game that I'm going to ask guys, is can the
Buffalo Bills defense slowed down that Baltimore Ravens offense, Because
when you look at the baltim Ramons, guys, they have
been top not all season long. When you say Baltimore Ravens,

(01:07):
you normally think defense. Not the number one over raked
offense in the in the NFL, not the best one
two punch in the NFL, like like either with Lamar
Jackson and Derrick Henry. That's right, they had the number
one ranked offense along with the best one to two
punch in the NFL. If you wrong, fight with yourself.

(01:27):
But the Buffalo Bills defense has not been top notch
at all. Seventeenth ranked defense as of right now, they
are playing better. They are playing better. Let let's not
get it crazy. Right last week versus the Denver Broncos
held the Broncos to one hundred and forty five yards passing,
justin seventy nine yards rushing and only seven points. Mark,
can your boys check their posts? Are they have they

(01:50):
woke up yet? Or they still still dead? Back to
Week eighteen, the Buffalo Bills only gave up seventy seventy
yards rushing. How about the week before that one hundred
and twelve yards passing versus Aaron Riders. That's right, Aaron
freaking Riders, mister top ten quarterback himself only one hundred
and twelve yards passing, and they held breeze hold a
undred forty five yards rushing. But slow it down, baby,

(02:15):
it was the Broncos, it was the Patriots and then
the Jets. So, guys in the comments below, let's answer
this question. Can the Buffalo Bills defense legitimately shut down
or slow down, not even shut down to slow down
the Baltimore Ravens offense. The answer this question is no.

(02:36):
The answer to this question is absolutely not. There is
no way the Buffalo Bill's defense is going to slow
down not only Lamar Jackson, but Derrick Henry, the best
one to two punchs in the NFL. Somebody checked my
pulse and see Ceff, see if I'm dead because I
am boasting up the Baltimore Ravens right now. This is

(03:00):
gonna be a complete shootout. This is This game should
be a complete shootout unless, unless playoff Lamar Jackson shows up,
unless playoff Josh Allen shows shows shows up. Yes, I
know Josh Allen is twenty five touchdowns to four interceptions
and the playoffs, but he lacts to dribble himself down

(03:22):
the lag when there's thirteen seconds left on the on
the clock, right they're good for fifty nine minutes and
forty six seconds. Let's just be honest, for forty seven
seconds whatever it is. But guys, I do not think
that the Buffalo Bills defense can hang with the offense
of Baltimore Ravens. I think it's gonna be offensive shootout.

(03:43):
I think this is gonna be one of those games
were like, damn, who's gonna have the ball? Less? Is
gonna score or is going to like win? I should
should say? So, what do you guys think can the
Buffalo Bills defense? Von Miller number fifty seven? I always
forget his name is a like it's it's number fifty seven.
He's a freakin dog, right. Can anybody in the Buffalo

(04:07):
Bills deefense step up and stop Derrick Henry, stop Lamar
Jackson lit alone stop both of them? Can they slow
them down? Let's see what you guys are saying over
here in the comments. What are you guys saying in
the comments? John says they backed away in the playoffs? No,
they didn't about ways in the playoffs. B boy Bro
says they got the Chiefs over the Texans. What we've
talked about the minute? Uh, Laura says, go Bills, but

(04:28):
I really want to say go purple. See you guys
here on the Man Hour, we have a T shirt
or we have a saying say stop waffling around. And
this is a definition of a waffle. When you look
up waffle in the Man Hour dictionary, when you go
to manOur Radio dot com for slash dictionary, you're gonna

(04:49):
see the word waffle. And this comment right here that
Laura just put up is gonna be the definition of
a waffle. Laura says, go Bills, but I really want
the purple. So basically what Laura is saying, yeah, I
want the Bills to win, but I'm rooting for the
Baltimore Ravens. But at the Buffalo Bills mean be like, Hi,
I told you so. But at the Baltimore Raves man
like see, I was rioting for them the whole the

(05:10):
whole time. Laura, this is a definition of a waffle.
Am I all one today? Absolutely? But this is a waffle.
If you guys do not know what a waffle is,
look up this comment right here on the screen. Waffle, waffle, waffle. Laura,
pick a freaking side, girl. I understand you're a picture
upon it I understand you're a tough fan, but it

(05:31):
ain't no slide in today. Pick a side, young lady.
Pick a side, Pick a side, Pick a side. It's
blue or it's purple. It's not no brown color. It's
I guess that would make blue and purple. I don't
know blue purple. But it's not no brown color. There's
no gray area. It's blue. Wart's purple, Laura blue wort.
Purple got my man Aunt in the chat today as well.

(05:53):
What's up? Aunt? What's up? What's up? What's up? Aunt? Guys?
Is it a house divided? Aunt decided to call out
his old lady. Aunt's old lady is a Steelers fan.
Aunt is a Ravens fan, and he just couldnot let
her moan in peace. Could just not, could not, just couldn't,
just couldn't let it go. And John said, the Ravens

(06:16):
are gonna win, and I shoot out. To me, this
is definition of a shootout, thirty five to thirty four. John,
I like that score. For the average NFL fan, this
is the score that they want to see. They want
to see some high scorn, flying balls going around crazy right,

(06:36):
but slow it down. Baltimore Ravens Stevens has gotten better
since the BI week, since they move Hamilton back to safety,
back to his true position. No more in the box.
Bs packing evens getting a little bit better maybe, but
Alpha Rob says, whoa but but that's tough, baby. He says,

(06:57):
that's tough. But we mean the Buffalo Bills have paced
ourselves all year long. We just wanted to be healthy.
We didn't care about that week for boat race. We
didn't care a week four that we went into Baltimore
Ravens and got beat thirty five to ten. We don't
care that they said bad baby, bad baby, bad baby.

(07:20):
We got bigger goals, we got bigger aspirations, we got
super Bowl in mine. Buck alf for Rob, I think
you're right, baby, I think you're right. But that's tough.
That's tough, baby, that's tough. And Ann says, oh hell no.
If anybody thinks the Buffalo Bills are gonna slow down,

(07:42):
ants Baltimore Ravens, get your post checked, get your post checked,
get your eyes checked, get out there and see what's
going on, because the Baltimore Ravens are God's gifts to
this world. Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry Zayflowers. If he plays hell,
we could probably in throw Deontae Johnson says, since since

(08:04):
we re signed him after we waived him and then
the Texas waved him, then we can bring him back in, right,
I mean there's alternative moments to bringing him back in,
meaning after the Super Bowl ring Ron they can release
him again and get a fourth round pick for him.
But we'll go that into an another day. But ansays,
check the Poles, people, check your post. No, buddy's stopping

(08:27):
the Ravens and aunt my man. Alpha Rop says, hey, hey, hey, hey,
a defense is a good offense. He says, hey, we're
gonna run the ball down to Baltimore. Ravens throats. Yeah,
our defense is subpar. Yeah, we give him a lot
of third down conversions. Yeah, we let him get in

(08:50):
the reds on this score right at a sixty percent rate. Yeah,
we might be seventeen ranked overall defense. But slow it down, baby,
we gonna control of that clock. We're gonna give it
to Ray Ray Davis if he's back from a concussion.
We gonna give it to James Cook. We're gonna give
it to Josh Allen with his legs. That he's rush
for five hundred yards this season so far. He's gonna

(09:11):
get his first downs. We're gonna milk that clock. We're
gonna keep Baltimore Ravens off the field, and Lamar Jack's
gonna have to play from behind and gonna have to
pass the ball, which is way where he sucks. That's
what I for Rob is saying with those five words,
That's what I for Rob said, But he says the
defense is a good offense. Alpa, Rob, you are right, baby,

(09:31):
you are right. But but I wonder who does a
shoot out favor more? When we think about this. Logically,
logistically that's right. Logically does a shootout favor the Baltimore
Ravens Moore or the Buffalo Bills with Bills more? Because

(09:53):
I think defense is gonna be at a not a premium, right,
It's gonna be below average evens on both sides of
the I'm not saying their defenses suck. I'm just saying
that their offices are both that good. Both of these
teams defenses will match up very, very good against the
Canci the Chiefs, right, they'll be able to keep him
underney thirty points like everybody else has. But but but

(10:16):
I'm saying both of these officers are really really good.
A shootout to me, in my opinion, favors the Baltimore
Ravens more. It favors them more because Lamar Jackson can
kind of just play all freestyle Willy Willye, and that's
when he is great. Lamar Jackson is great is when
he can improvise, roll the pocket, scramble when need need

(10:38):
need be, but pass the ball deep. That is his
best quality is passing the ball deep mid range past
Nickeoling and Nicol Nick Nicholing, Nickeolin Domingue down the field.
That is when Lamar Jackson game goes to you don't
shoot the messenger. The facts are the facts. Facts are
the facts, not Joe Gomez says, but every year the

(10:59):
Ravens choking the playoffs. Just not last year, just not
the year before that, not the year before that or
the year before that. But since twenty fifteen, twenty twelve,
the Baltimore Ravens and Lamar Jackson have been choken in
the playoffs. Not till you are not wrong, you are

(11:20):
not wrong at all. And actually I think I proposed
that question for Haffey and Mark on Tuesday I don't
know if Hafey read it or like or not. I
was having a good time with the fan. But my
question that I wanted to propose last night and Tuesday
was by Lamar Jackson playing well versus the Pittsburgh Steelers

(11:44):
last week, has this playoff monkey finally gotten off of
his back? It's the playoff woes finally off the back
of Lamar Jackson and me personally, I think he's getting
a little bit more comfortable right The play calling seems
to be a little bit more his style. Derreck Henry
in the backfield helps a lot when he had twenty

(12:04):
five carries last week versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. Having Derek
Henry in the backfield is life changing for Lamar Jackson.
But I wonder, with Derek Henry in the backfield now,
him playing decent versus the Pittsburgh Steelers last week, has
that playoff choke monkey kind of throwing off his shoulder

(12:25):
or is it still kind of hanging on for dear life.
We will see this come Sunday night. We will see
if the choking Lamar Jackson is still there or the
monkey is completely gone. That's the big question that I
want to see that is the game inside of the
game that I want to see. And Laura said, or sorry,
John says, do you think getting over the hump and

(12:46):
they beat the Chiefs? Who who beats the Chiefs, the
Buffalo Bills or the Baltimore Ravens, Because I think Casey
sent me a meme and it said it best right,
The Bills match up the best against the Chiefs, the
Chiefs match up at best against the Ravens, and the
Ravens matchup against best against the Buffalo Bills. Like it's

(13:07):
that triple trigle like a threat. I believe it was
a rock paper scissors reference, right, So I'm not for sure.
Who do you think can get over the hump and
beat the Chiefs? Is it the Baltimore Ravens? No, I
don't think. I don't think the Baltimore Baltimore Ravens do
beat the KNCA Chiefs. Do I think the Buffalo Bills
can beat the KNCA Chiefs? Yes? Do I think the
Buffalo Bills can get past the Baltimore Ravens. Right, it's

(13:32):
that triple thick. It's rock paper scissors, right, rock paper scissors.
Derek says, who gets more rushing yards? For the quarterbacks,
and I think it's gonna be hands down, it's gonna
be Josh Allen. I think Josh Allen is that X
factor for the whole team. Right. James Cook for the
Buffalo Bills has a thousand yards rushing this season. Josh
Allen has five five hundred. On the other hand, Lamar

(13:55):
Jackson did break a thousand yards this season. Derrek Henry
has nineteen hundred. So I would lean towards Josh Allen
Moore because Baltimore even does have Derrick Henry and you're
using them and you're gonna abuse him or you're gonna
lose that game. But let's just be honest. If you're
not using you're using Derrick Henry and you lose this game,

(14:16):
there's gonna be a lot of upset people. I'm just
calling a spade's bade, right. W BN says it's gonna
be Alan and Cook versus Lamar and Henry. Whoever gets
the most chartage on the ground will win that game.
You know, ant I would agree with you, But but

(14:44):
Josh Allen throws the hell the hell of a ball,
hell of a ball, and it's called it's gonna be Wendy,
that's that is that that is tough. Alph Rob says
the Buffalo Bill's defense can shut down their wide receivers
and alp Rob, I think you are correct. Not if
j Za Flowers does not play on Sunday, advantage Buffalo

(15:07):
Bills one hundred percent. One hundred percent advantage Buffalo Bills
if that were to happen. Laura says, it's going to
be a close game, but I think the Buffalo Bills
will come out on top. So after Laura waffled around
for a good six minutes, go Purple, but go Buffalo Bills.
At the same time, she says, hey, slow it down,
but slow it down. I'm picking the Buffalo Bills. Okay, okay,

(15:30):
pick those Buffalo Bills. Baby my MANKB over YouTube dot
Com says the Railers are about to find out what
the Buffalo Bills defense can do. KB says, Hey, the
Buffalo Bill's defense is is this a shabby buck? The
Buffaloes Bills defense is not that bad. They're only going
to give up three hundred yards passing one hundred and

(15:52):
fifty yards on the ground. They're not that bad. Uh
uh uh, and says you talking about Mac Mulano Buck
I think I don't remember. I honestly don't remember. John
says he's going to be a homer. Why would I

(16:12):
be a homer? I've been striped with you guys. Oh
season long? Come on now, KB says one spy on
Lamar Jackson and the rest of the team that tackle
Derrick Henry will take the ball away at least three times,
and that goes to the Buffalo Bill's defense. Does KB?
That's a perfect way to start start by stopping the
Buffalo Bill or the Buffalo Bills, the Baltimore Ravens. That

(16:34):
is a perfect way. Spy Derrick Henry, everybody else tackle
Derrick Henry, spy. Sorry sorry I should have said spy
Lamar Jackson. Everybody else tackled Derek Derek, Derek Henry. That's
a perfect game plan, right, That is a perfect game plan,
except for what is the average size of the Buffalo
Bill's linebacking corps two hundred and twenty five pounds. How

(16:56):
big is Derrick Henry two hundred and sixty pounds. You're
gonna have to have four guys tackle that man to
get him down. I'm two forty six to three even
in my prime heyday when I was two forty five,
two fifty, I'm not tackling Derrick Henry, and God be mighty,
there's not gonna be no two hundred and twenty five

(17:16):
pounds linebacker tackling Derrick Henry. They might be able to
get him watch or twice in the bathfield by diving
at his ankles. But once he passed a line in
his scrimmers, that's five yards, baby, that is five yards KB.
I like where your heads out, though, man, I like
where your head is that spy, Lamar Jackson, make Derrick

(17:38):
Henry beat you, right, and that should be the game
plan going in. But let me take it once to
one step further. Let me take it one step further.
I want the Buffalo Bill's secondary to play off the receivers. Yeah,
give him some space. Let them try to Nicklin Dimi
down the field, because Lamar jacks will get impatient. He

(18:01):
throws bad balls middle across the field, short passes aster
that that is his worst weakness of the whole his
whole game. He throws a nice deep ball, he scrimbles
the ball really really well. Mid range rows not very good.
It is what it is not saying he's a bad quarterback.
I'm not saying he's trashed. I'm not saying that he's anything.
I'm saying he throws a bad mid range ball. Corners

(18:23):
of safety, playoff, linebackers play up. That's the recipe for
the That's the recipe for winning. K Raid says, the
Ravens bill is a tough pick this week. As long
as playoff Laar playoff Lamar doesn't show up, the Ravens
should win. That's a big if, right Krad. That is

(18:44):
the biggest what if. And like I spoke on it
a couple couple of minutes ago, is the monkey playoff
monkey off of Lamar Jackson's back? Is he done finally
pissing down his leg and nuts punch time? Is he
finally done being scared? Is the play calling finally gonna
suit his abilities? Like that is the biggest question. Honestly,

(19:08):
that is the biggest question. And I think we were
probably gonna find out in second quarter. I feel the
first quarter is gonna be a nice little feel it out,
you know, nice little jab boom boom boom, a few
few few punts maybe, and then the second quarter we'll
see if if it's playoff Lamar Jackson of this year

(19:28):
where the monkey is off field, off of his back
or twenty twenty three, twenty twenty two playoff Lamar Jackson,
that's the biggest question. KB says, the Buffalo Bills offense
and defens have spent just have spent just about everybody
in the NFL, at least all the good teams. I'm
not for sure. So the Buffalo Bills offensive defense have

(19:50):
spent just about everybody had, so they faced about everybody
good and the So I think what you're trying to say, KB,
is the Baltimore Ravens had very, very tough schedule this season.
You were absolutely right. They played a tough sled of
games this season. Right. They played the Bengals, whether you
record or record or not, the Bengals are a good team.

(20:13):
They played the Kansaate Chiefs, right, they played the Denver Broncos,
not a terrible team. Right. They played top notch opponents
all season long. And honestly, that was one of the
reasons why I thought the Buffalo or sorry, the Baltimore
Ravens were gonna go from worse to first in their
division because they're their schedule was pretty tough. So they

(20:34):
are battle tested, they are ready. The Buffalo Bills, on
the other hand, haven't played a good team really for
over a month. They played the Jets, they played the Patriots,
and then they played the Patriots again, right, and then
they played the den of Danver broncos. Den Brugs is
not terrible team, but they're not very good either. The
Buffalo Bills, well, we will find out, right, we will

(20:57):
find out. And Alpha robson the PiZZ Buffalo Bills, that's right,
put some respect on their name. His Buffalo Bills will
win this game thirty eight to twenty seven. And honestly,
Alpha rov to me, that kind of sounds like a shootout, right,
I feel like over that once a team breaks that
thirty thirty two point mark, you're like, you're kind of

(21:17):
in a in a shootout. And I think that fabors
the Buffalo or that favors the Baltimore Ravens. If it's
a low scoring game, it favors of the Buffalo Bills.
But I like your score. I mean, spanked spank tough teams.
What tough teams had the Ravens spank this season? Are
you referring to the Buffalo Bills? Are you referring to
the Raiders because they lost to the Raiders. I mean

(21:42):
the Yes, the Baltimore Ravens did spake a couple of
teams earlier in the season. Right, they did beat down
the Buffalo Oh yeah, yeah, they did beat down the
Buffalo Bills. What was it thirty five to two, like
a ten? Right? And then they beat down the Denver Broncos.
What was that score? Forty two to ten or forty
two to seven, I cannot remember. Uh. And then they

(22:06):
I mean they really haven't the score shows finally pull
pull pull pull pulled up here. So forty one to
ten to the Denver to the Denver Broncos, thirty five
to ten to the Buffalo Bills. Other than that, I
really don't see any quote spankings or blowouts. I mean,
you can say they spanked the Steelers thirty four to seventeen,

(22:29):
spank the don Giants thirty four to ten, thirty five
to ten. I don't know, smack down in your face football. Oh,
so you're so you're playing smash mouth football? Is that
the Baltimore Ravens are. Yes, they do play smash mouth football.
Maybe that's what you're referring to. Yes, they do play
smash mouth football. Get the ball to Derrick Henry. Let
the man eat right, Let the man eat. Josh Olson's

(22:55):
in the show's up, Josh top fan over here as well.
He says Baltimore Ravens win thirty one to seventeen. Okay, okay, okay.
He also says Derrek Henry will get one hundred and
fifty yards plus. If he doesn't, the Baltimore Ravens have failed.
I just want to put that out there. If he's
If he does not have one hundred and twenty five
yards plus in this game, the Baltimore Ravens failed this game.

(23:15):
The Baltimore Ravens lose this game. Alpha Robbins says the
Buffalo Bills. Of course, Ravens don't have the wide receivers
they have Deontay Johnson. Now, Toby Craig said the Chiefs
for a three peat. No questions asked, twenty five or
twenty five, twenty four to twenty three, Yes, sir, yes,
sir yes, sir. W b An says Henry is out

(23:38):
closer and he makes the game more easier for Lamar.
All the attention isn't on Lamar anymore. You are correct, However,
ant you know this for you being a Baltimore Raves fan.
In the Baltimore Ravens four or five actually, actually I
think it's all five of their loss this season, Derrick

(24:00):
Henry has a total of three touches in the fourth quarter.
So if you want to win, you better get the
ball to Derrick Henry in the fourth quarter. We saw
the Tennessee Titans do it just a couple of years ago.
They were down to Seattle by what twenty one points
in the fourth quarter. They kept giving the ball to
Derek and they ended up winning that game. Just get
the ball to Derrick Henry and Trasta Martinez says, let's

(24:22):
go Ravens. Let's go Ravens. Ravens flock baby, I don't know.
John says, you gotta get you some of that ground
and pound, baby, let's go. I do love some good
ground and pound, right, good round and pound. Derek says
they forgot that they forget about Hill in the second half. Well,

(24:44):
because I'm forgetting the guy's first name, Justice Hill, Justin
Hill and Keaton Mitcheller after thoughts, Right, let's just be honest, third, second, third,
fourth string guys, mean you you want to get your boy.
Derek Henry is your guy. Derek, Derek Henry is your guy.
Junis Howard says, I like Baltimore in this game. Baltimore

(25:07):
is gonna use the play action passes. I bet you
they just run a lot of speed option. I'm just saying,
I like me some speed option, like me, some speed option.
Laura says, I just hope it's a good game, and
I don't want want to move off of my sofa
except for the commercials because she'll be eating waffles. Derek says, Lamar,

(25:29):
change the game, made it faster, No, Derek, No, Derek.
Lamar Jackson didn't change the game. That the the the
r p O game was already in in in in place, right.
Lamar Jackson just perfected it. Let's just be honest. Lamar
Jackson was able to perfect the R the the r PO.

(25:51):
Aaron channel All says, change, She's street Pete. Let's go, baby,
let's go, let's go, let's go. We'll be talking about that.
She's coming up, Aaron, So stay tuned, Stay tuned, Stay tuned.
Derek says, it's all Stars of the season where the
running hill outside know up the guts. Now the problem
is to start the season. Is they forgot about Derek
Henry and Nan says, if anybody wants to put some

(26:14):
bets of money, feel Fred inbox me. That's how confident
is in my Ravens puts your money where your math is. Okay, okay,
and after Rob says the Buffalo Bill's gonna jump on
top early and limit Derrick Henry's carries. I like it.
I like it, Alpha Rob, I like it. But speaking

(26:37):
about the Buffalo
