I'm with you on the special teams. I really hope Toub is the next disciple of Andy to get a new gig.

Agreed with all of this. A special win - warts notwithstanding. See you Thursday night to clinch the division, sir.

Here's my big observation:
Lamar Jackson will last 5 years in this league. MAX. And if he does manage to extend his career beyond that mark, it will be like RGIII was today-- a hokey trick play backup QB whose best days are way behind him. How many times today did the dude get smacked and driven to the ground underneath a pile of dudes like a goddamn RB? 7? 8? And that's not including the other times he got taken to the ground in open field tackles. Unless the Ravens are making the plan to go through QBs like ****ing disposable tissues, they have GOT to limit the designed runs that dude takes. No more than 2 or 3 of those per game, and in all other instances, at least give him an option to pitch it to his half back or something. He's a tiny dude and he has probably taken more punishment in 4 games as a starter than he did all of last year. His success in the NFL was always going to depend on how well he could operate from the pocket and use his scrambling ability as an effective weapon-- very much in the way Alex Smith plays the position. That's how he would have a long NFL career. The Ravens are like, "Eh, **** it. He's not going to learn it quickly enough if at all, so just send him up the middle like it's a goddamn draw play a few dozen times." Once again, that's either pretty smart or incredibly ****ing stupid. |

Nice write up. Great read
So could you tell from in stadium replays that Mahomes had thrown that no look pass? If so what was the crowd reaction like? |

Great read. Cannot disagree with anything here.
Apparently, I have a pretty healthy hatred of Baltimore. When it looked like we'd pissed the game away, I was seething with fury. Man, I must REALLY hate losing to those fools. Pretty amazing win. |

They play physical and tough. That's our weakness, unfortunately. |

I mentioned it in another thread but The Ravens offense reminded me of a high school offense today. Lamar Jackson is gonna have a short career.

Thanks GMan!
Even though Butker missed the game winner, that final drive in regulation was impressive. This team is just plain fun to watch. |
