We might be playing against Lamar Jackson in week 14

Figures. Baltimore sucks with Flacco, and now we will play an unknown.

Another bloodbath.

The Ravens sure imploded after a hot start.

If we beat the Rams we will go 15-1

All arm and legs with a 10 cent brain. Cam knockoff without the annoying personality. We will break him.

FYP

That week of waiting is going to be excruciating

Lamar is a better athlete than Cam, but is considerably dumber.

Cardinals
Raiders twice
Ravens with Lamar Jackson
Chargers at home on a short week
Seahawks with 10 days to prepare

That is as favorable as it gets

Win those and you’ve got hfa

My son and I made the perfect bet before the draft. I told him last year that Lamar would not go in the 1st round. Made it all the way to 32. Soclose.

Well, if NE loses that is

He gives the Ravens a better chance of winning than Flacco... but they still gonna lose

we'll be fine

no - if we win out - it doesn't matter what NE does.

oh yes - he didn't mention LA Rams - but t'will win that. I'm feeling more and more confident - as we go, here.

who?

The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec suggests Lamar Jackson isn't a lock to start if Joe Flacco (hip) misses time.

The Ravens (4-5) are still in the playoff hunt despite losing three straight games. Jackson has been active over Robert Griffin III for Baltimore's dual-QB packages, but it's possible they could turn to Griffin if Flacco is out next week. The "expectation" is that it will be Jackson, though the Ravens have been noncommittal on their depth chart behind Flacco.

No reason we shouldn’t win them all.

But we could go from the 1 seed to 5 if we lose to the Chargers.

If we lose to the chargers that would be a massive upset.

No. Lamar can't throw nor read a defense damn near at all. He is a terrible QB and always will be.

your takes are putrid, holmes.

So you think the Chargers beat the Steelers at Heinz field and the Bengals in LA?

I’m not even sure they beat the Broncos twice.

Is that even possible?

It would be really disappointing to go 14-2 and be the 5th seed.

this him?

Really? Lamar Jackson? Do you watch him play ever? What exactly has screamed NFL QB?

Well I wouldn't go that far. I doubt they beat the Steelers and the Bengals will be tough but they likely win that one.

Won't happen.

Dude, they almost lost to the Titans and 49ers. The Broncos played us tough in both games. To assume they easily win both against them is silly.

At the very least, I give the Broncos a decent chance @Denver.

I didn't say easily or both.

Well you said “you wouldn’t go that far” when all I said was I’m not so sure they beat Denver twice.

What else did you mean?

All I’m saying is I can definitely see one of those being a loss.

I figure they will lose to the Steelers. The last game of the season, will Denver mail it in knowing they are done, will the Chargers be out of the race for the division by then and rest starters.
There are still a lot of variables that will come into play.

I read that totally wrong man. Sorry.

Well if they’ve already lost the division that kinda makes it a moot point anyways.

And I don’t see Denver throwing in the towel in a week 17 game against a division rival for the second time in a row. That would be humiliating.

If we beat the Rams in week 11 and they lose to the Steelers in week 13 it is all over for the Chargers.

I need context here. What are they laughing at?

Chargers still have to play @Pittsburgh and @Denver. They also have the Bengals, Broncos and Ravens at home.

They arent winning out....winter is coming.

Everyone saw how shitty the Panthers played...traveling to Pittsburgh on two days rest....now imagine that plus playing at night in December @Arrowhead. KC has a home game four days earlier and will be used to the weather. Chargers arent winning in KC unless the refs pull a "Raiders" on them.

Depends. The Chargers team playing at their current level won't lose to Denver.

That being said, the Chargers have proven it enough times that you can't assume they will play up to their talent level. They have the skill to keep the run going and be a 12-4 team. History says that they will shoot themselves in the foot, but that being said, I think it's in their control to finish out the season with a great record and push us real hard.

My biggest worry is the raiders. They will pull out every cheap trick to win. The game last year at oakland still burns me.

The raiders are already making off-season plans. They're not winning another game this year

Reporter asked why has EB been day 2 Day for 91 days.

Pffft.

My biggest worry is the Chargers. They keep holding on and have yet to fold like they do every year...

He won today to knock the Bengals back to .500. The unbelievable part is he ran the ball 27 times for 117 yards. When's the last time an NFL QB ran it 27 times? That's a ton of rushing attempts if you're in high school, let alone the NFL.

he won't last long term running like that in my opinion

You would be correct in that assessment. He'll get killed out there.

I didn't watch. Did he get blown up?

We might be playing against Lamar Jackson in week 14
 

Not really, he avoided the big hits really well. That kid is extremely fast. Kind of shocked me when watching on Red Zone. He was way to quick to bail on the pocket to tuck and run.

Flacco to Denver or Oakland in 2020.

I agree

27 rush attempts is the new QB record. Beat out Tebow's 22 attempts.

We'll have to play a lot of zone against these guys. I think Jackson is too fast for any QB spy we'd put on him.

Ha! You clearly don't know Frank Zombo then.

First time rookie QB's visits to Arrowhead always suck.

I gotta admit...Jackson was really fun to watch yesterday.

He's got RG3 as a consultant, so it probably won't last too long.

I think that we end up playing against RG3. No way that Jackson stays healthy running as much as he did yesterday.

Yeah, what is the record of first time rookie QB visits to Zombo-land anyway?

0 - Death

Not much. But the reason he ran that much is because he can't read defenses and he looked terrible every time he threw the ball. He's got crazy athleticism. I just can't see him getting away with being that one dimensional against a team that isn't the shittiest pass defense in the league.

Baltimore's offense looked like the 95" Nebraska offense. Billay would love it.

Um.

:D

Doubt he'll get too banged up playing that way though. He isn't built like a QB. He's built like a RB/WR.

They're not trotting a pencil neck out there like Matt Ryan or Eli Manning.

Ha. Our defense is bad. But Cincy is on another level of bad this year. The way we've played on D the past few weeks, Lamar Jackson doesn't scare me one bit.

Spy O'Daniel on him all day.

problem solved.

As a Ravens fan who has never missed watching a game, it's a home game for you guys, so that's 10 points right there. I'll say Chiefs 37 Ravens 17. We will be lucky to finish 8-8 and miss the playoffs again and John Harbaugh will be fired in January. I enjoyed yesterday Bengals game, but you're right, Lamar would not survive a full season of playing like he did. He did pass for 150 yards, he might make it eventually if he learns to pass first and run second. They were calling a lot of the runs from the beginning, run-pass-option type plays. Good Luck tonight against the Rams! The Chiefs are my adopted alternative team.

Thanks! You seem nice.
