  1. A timeout on the second offensive play of the game lol
  2. So whoever loses Chiefs-Ravens will be at least two games off their division lead. And the Chiefs would still be 2.5 off even if they win and the Chargers win.
  3. A Tony Hunter sighting! My dad and I had tickets for this game but he injured his knee the preceding week and couldn’t walk, so we didn’t go — and the stupid blackout rule prevented us from watching on TV, so this is the first time I’m seeing it. I was a huge Kenny Stabler fan back then (being a lefty myself) so I was devastated. Fortunately, Snake thoughtfully got hurt in the first quarter and had to leave the game, so I didn’t miss much.
  4. I think the poster’s point is that they’ve clearly worked to get him help for whatever stage of development they thought he was at. Lamar may have always “stressed that he was a passer first,” but he really wasn’t that when he came out of college — it was what he wanted to be. So they followed their usual formula of building a great defense and strong running game, and then they slowly modified their approach as he developed. I agree with you that the change has been on the Ravens’ timeline rather than on Lamar’s... but I think the Ravens were right in how they went about it. To the extent that people are suddenly shifting the narrative to “Lamar has no help,” that’s just ridiculous. He has Zay Flowers, DHop, a HOF tight end and a generational RB. He regularly has Pro Bowlers all over the place. The defense is not what it used to be, but that’s because the cap (and Lamar’s own contract) forced that tradeoff. I’m sure a lot of them are pointing to the goal-line series where they ran Henry three times against the Lions. Well… if Lamar didn’t like the handoff calls, why didn’t he check out of them? Instead, he turned to the sidelines and made his displeasure obvious, showing up both his coaches and his teammates. But when it was Lamar’s turn to make something happen… he got stripped. Whose fault was that?
  5. Other than Brady, who I disliked for the same reason, I’ve never seen another QB who pads stats in blowouts quite like Lamar. When the Bills get up big, Trubisky comes in. When the Ravens get up big, Lamar throws even more. We can argue all day whose fault that is. Maybe Harbaugh figures it’s safer to have Lamar pass with a big lead since the conventional wisdom is to run clock by keeping the ball on the ground. But McDermott clearly doesn’t think it’s worth exposing Josh to a freak injury when the game is in hand, and Josh goes along with it. The Harbaughs like to rub it in, and Lamar doesn’t protest too much. But unlike Brady, it’s also pretty hard to think of a single Lamar postseason highlight, or even a game where he played out of his head but the team collapsed around him. Last year in Buffalo, he threw a pick and fumbled in the first half, but nobody remembers it because of Mark Andrews; in the previous playoff game against us, of course, he threw a pick-six in the end zone while driving for the go-ahead score. Lamar does pretty well in his wildcard games against inferior opponents. But he has six TD passes, five interceptions, and no rushing TDs in his divisional or better playoff games. Josh has ten TD passes, one (1) interception, and five rushing TDs in such games — stats that either mirror or exceed his wildcard performances. It’s become fashionable and “correct” to talk about what a great guy Lamar is and how good of a quarterback he’s become. I’m not going to argue with any of that. But to say they’re interchangeable…. I don’t buy it. Josh Allen is the better QB, he deserved last year’s MVP, and he deserved the one before that too. Period.
  6. Just terrible. You mount a comeback like that and then your kicker puts the ball on the 40-yard-line.
  7. So it all comes down to the idiot kickers.
  8. And speaking of former Bills players like Gilmore and former Seahawks like Sherman, what about Marshawn Lynch?
  9. Eh, my son lives in the DMV and was at a bar for our game and he did the Zay Flowers Queen of England wave at their fans when we won … and he managed to get home okay. I probably wouldn’t have advised that… but I’m proud.
  10. Either way i am going to enjoy the ***** out of that game. How often can you say that?
  11. He’s being interviewed right now
  12. You can always count on Lamar to pad stats when the game is out of reach either way
  13. Here’s where Lamar pads his stats the best
  14. Dan Campbell has the biggest balls in the world
  15. I have so much I want to say right now that I can’t. Like all the words I learned in grade school in the ‘70s that you can’t say now. They all apply to the Lions on that last set of downs. They had it. They had the game.
  16. DERRICK HENRY WITH ANOTHER GAME-LOSING FUMBLE HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHA
  17. We got screwed at least twice last year. Goff you moron
  18. Nice how the replay cuts off right before you see the ball come out
