My 5th grade daughter has a "dress like Adam Sandler day" at school next week and had never seen one of his movies. Do we do a Sandler marathon this weekend?

Watched the tape again.
The Buffalo Bills were simply the better team that day against the Baltimore Ravens.
Lamar showed great leadership and poise to pull his team back into the game after his early mistakes, but Josh Allen was better simply because he protected the ball.
It’s that simple.
No one is immune to criticism for the plays they did or didn’t make. This is the big leagues and when you play in a heavyweight matchup like that, turnovers, drops and penalties are all magnified.
The Buffalo Bills deserve all the credit in the world for having a masterful defensive game plan to slow down Lamar and Derrick Henry while capitalizing on their mistakes.
Ed Oliver was an animal in the middle.
Taylor Rapp was all over the field.
Sean McDermott and Bobby Babich put together a beautiful plan and changed their identity COMPLETELY.
-Played the most man coverage they have since 2022 -46.7%
-Leaned heavily on 4-3 personnel and 5 man fronts to get pressure and stop the run
We have to start focusing on what the Bills did right to win the game and not on what the Baltimore Ravens did to lose.
The Buffalo Bills deserve the praise.
They EARNED IT.
@Realrclark25@Lj_era8 Ryan Clark, Mover of Goal Posts. Just one year ago saying something completely different for a qb with different… nah surely it’s not that, is it??
I truly don't understand how the Lamar discourse breaks so many people's brains.
We have @billbarnwell, who I truly believe has been the single smartest person covering the NFL for more than a decade, earnestly arguing that Lamar & Mahomes' *playoff numbers* over the last two years are "basically identical" and acting as if the Zay Flowers fumble (which happened with them down 10 points, and was immediately followed by an egregious Lamar INT in the end zone, with them also down 10 points) and a Mark Andrews drop (which would have simply tied the game, and their BEST CASE scenario was stopping the Bills from getting a FG with 2 TOs & 1:33 AND THEN winning in OT) are why folks are criticizing Lamar.
That's not it! It's that in the regular season he IS the guy you guys say he is... one of the greatest players of all time!
And then EVERY YEAR in the postseason, he has one of, if not his very worst game of the year!
'18: Lamar has multiple TOs, BAL has 3 points with 7 mins left, finishes with season low 17
'19: Lamar has multiple TOs, BAL has 6 points heading into 4th Q, finishes with season low 12
'20: Lamar throws a 100yd Pick 6 while trailing 7, finishes with a season low 3 points
'23: Lamar has multiple TOs, BAL has 7 points with 3 minutes left, finishes with season low 10
'24: Lamar has multiple TOs for the first time all year.
Obviously, yesterday was not as bad as the previous 4 playoff losses, but when a player's team scores the fewest points it has all year in 4 of 5 playoff losses, and when a player, who has multiple turnovers in less than 15% of his career regular season games, has multiple turnovers in HALF of his career playoff games, it's not a coincidence!

Great play by Taylor Rapp. Gotta hand it to Beane and Co. for identifying him early in their FA process in 2023. Gave him a chance to come in, learn behind Poyer/Hyde and has since become the leader on the back end and has made plays all season long.
