At least for now, I feel more confident than I thought I would going into Sunday's game.

Having a mostly healthy team helps for sure, but especially at LB--the IQ, play recognition/diagnosing, and positioning upgrade from Williams/Spector to Milano/Bernard, with Williams maybe getting some run here and there, is massive. Same for Johnson's physicality compared to Cam Lewis. I also think the weather could play a factor, and it's hard to underestimate the mental effect of the entire team feeling slighted between Lamar being frontrunner for MVP while it's also simultaneously discussed how the Ravens have a better roster than Buffalo.
 
Buffalo is winning this game. Josh Allen looks laser focused and the Raven's players chirps aren't going to help them. If Allen can get out ahead early, the Ravens game plan will be thrown off and I don't see them coming from behind if Lamar has to throw it 30+ times.

If you watch Hard Knocks at all, Baltimore appears to be singularly focused as well.

I think if you look at what Buffalo did against Detroit where they sold out to stop the run and took them out of their game plan. By the time Detroit changed it up, it was too late.

It's going to be on the offense to go out and put pressure on the Ravens. Its time to empty the bag of stuff we've been holding onto. Go and punch Baltimore's D right in the mouth and make their offense struggle to keep up.

Normally if we win the coin toss I was us to defer but I think Sunday I want the ball and to go up 7 before Lamar touches the field. If we can stop them on their first drive and score again it will put the pressure that Doak is 100% correct that we need to put on them. I can’t wait for Sunday and I’m so glad I’m off Monday cause I doubt I’ll sleep much after the game regardless of the outcome.

I thought about that, but it's probably not a smart play. That tells the Ravens you're scared of them. That tells our defense you don't believe in them. And if that first possession blows up in the Bills' collective face, you don't have the second half to regroup. You're screwed. Besides, it's a coin-flip. The Ravens might give you the possession by deferring, and then you don't have to worry about the psychology of it all.

100% agree. Do what you always do if you win the coin toss.

Didn't the Steelers do the same thing? didn't work out for them all to well.
