Most of the conversation is understandably on the Ravens offense vs our defense. I'm actually more interested in the opposite matchup though. I worry a bit that the Ravens defense matches up well against us. They are the best run defense in the league in both YPG and YPC so we probably can't lean on Cook like we did yesterday. Their weakness appears to be passing outside the numbers but that's been our offense's weakness too... I think this game has to be the Amari Cooper game if there ever was one. If he's 1v1 outside he needs to get the ball. Get Coleman going on back shoulders too. We need to score 30+ and it will have to come through the air. Our first game we didn't have the horses to execute that way. This is where we find out if the addition of Cooper and the growth of Coleman are enough to flip the script.

I thought for him to live up to that contract he would need to become one of the very best RTs in the league. He's done that this year and now the contract if anything looks like a bargain.

Green Bay is playing with zero urgency here. Bizarre play calling when they need a quick score.

They need a couple WRs that can get open outside because it's been an issue for the past month and it was once again an issue today.

I'm kind of in the camp of doing both. Because I continue to believe that our best path to winning a Super Bowl is having an offense capable of steamrolling every opponent. Make the defense practically a non-factor. So if re-signing Cook means we can't add WR talent then I'm 100% out, but if we can do both then sign me up for an offense that can dominate teams in multiple ways even if it comes at the expense of other areas on the roster.

I need to know what his market looks like. I'd usually never even consider it, it would be an unquestionable no you don't pay RBs, but Cook has become vital to this offense's success. His vision is as good as any other RB out there. He can hit home runs. He's become more physical this year to boot. We've wasted so much money on poor FA signings so does it really hurt our team if we give him a reasonable contract? FWIW I'm shocked at myself for even considering this.

If you knew ahead of time you could hold the Eagles offense to 10 points in the 1st half you would take that result. Unfortunately Love and the rest of the offense have been brutally bad.

It's simple - we just have to beat the 3 best teams in the NFL in consecutive games and we win the Lombardi

How does the call stand??

This was the best defensive playoff performance in the McDermott/Allen era IMO. Maybe we'll be lucky enough to have the script completely flipped this year. Poor in the regular season but stout in the playoffs.

Allen Cook Johnson Dawkins Brown Milano I'm sure a lot of defensive players had a great performance given how we shut Denver down, but nobody other than Milano really stood out to me.

Thank you Carson Wentz for serving up this warmup game on a silver platter

Elite drop from Hamlin there. Gave us like 20 yards of field position.

It's funny in a game where Allen is "off" he completes 20 of 26 passes against a great defense with a shutdown CB

I guess if youre gonna take that penalty do it after a 1st down catch when you're up 3 scores

Oh we got away with that one. Kincaid dropped it

Even the 1st half I can't complain. The first drive is the only disappointment. I set realistic expectations. This has been the best playoff defensive performance of the Allen/McDermott ers IMO.

Ty Johnson has the best hands I've ever seen on a RB. That sounds like hyperbole but who else can you think of?

No sarcasm, that was genuinely a great timeout. Our guys were reeling. We gave them a much needed reset and promptly forced a turnover on downs.

Great defensive stand!! Zero complaints about that side of the ball today

Good defensive TO there to stop the bleeding and give them a breather

I've never seen a better momentum team in the NFL. We smell blood and all three phases start absolutely steamrolling the competition

Should be 32-7 if not for egregious officiating but whatever

There's the dagger!!

But it was not even close. I accept the occasional miss but that one landed in a different area of the field, thrown in a different direction from where Coleman's route was heading.
