And if you’re going to do that, give Diggs a chance. A pick is the same as a punt in that spot.

Don’t underestimate how big this drive is. Getting a lead against Lamar is huge.

I agree when I’m watching from home, and it’s 3-0 if we had a dome. So at this moment, I agree 😆

Just proves what a nightmare that stadium is to kick in. It swirls in a million different directions all at once.

Roman got too cute getting away from the runs up the gut, and I’m glad.

Boneheaded play

This D is so soft.

This feels like an attempt to inspire the fan base who care more about the Gators than the NFL. The Jags are not a good organization who will put Meyer in a position to learn the NFL. I don’t see how this will end good. I already envision Meyer leaving early citing health concerns when things don’t go well.

Your first paragraph is spot on. My grandmother could have done just as well picking players as our drought era GM’s.

The Steelers just weren’t a good team the final quarter of the season. I think that was their biggest downfall.

That’s correct, maybe Jimmy G could be Tannehill, but let’s not forget that Tanny has the luxury of Derrick Henry. It’s not easy to find a running back at that level. Jimmy G needs a lot of help to be a good starting QB. Nothing about him would make me afraid. Tannehill’s career revival has been incredibly overrated. He’s played well at times, but Henry is a beast. That guy opens up so much for Tanny. The running back is so undervalued that people forget what an elite back can do for a QB. Gurley made Goff look incredible for a while as well.

I think it does hurt Lamar, but it all comes down to controlling the Ravens run game, and passing game between the numbers imo. Throwing the ball outside isn’t part of Lamar’s game, so I’m not sure how bad the wind hurts him. We can’t afford to let them gain yards on the ground. That not only allows them to put points on the board, it also keeps the ball out of Josh’s hands.

I agree, the defense is good but not great. My biggest concern is the fact that the Ravens D is a little dirty. Judon is a super dirty player. The O line needs to be on with pass protection.

I think this game comes down to our defensive coaching and game plan. I’ve defended Lamar quite a bit, but even I see him as an all or nothing QB. It seems like Jackson either runs wild, or completely struggles when forced out of his comfort zone. This game will be decided by whether or not we force him out of his comfort zone. I was initially worried about our offense vs the Ravens D, but if we play Lamar the right way, I don’t think we need to score a ton. Make him throw the ball outside the numbers at all costs, and do everything to take away the run game. I’ll just tip my hat and be in shock if the Ravens beat us by throwing the ball to outside receivers.

I think he’s an average DC, who coaches a defense that benefits from McD’s input. We seem to hit a rough patch on defense every season, then it miraculously improves. I’ve always attributed that to McD increasing his role when we struggle. I don’t dislike Frazier, he seems like a great guy and perfect “process” type coach. I also think he’s a Dick Jauron type head coach in every sense.

Those are perfect questions, and they ask exactly what I was thinking. However, I’d rephrase single to married. There’s a big difference between what girlfriends and wives tolerate. If this is a young guy, he can get away with being foolish and keep someone who thinks he’s cool, at least until she decides she needs a more mature guy. Wives already think we’re lame and totally uncool, so we can’t get away with these type of decisions.

Agree, there was a time when I was worried the NFL might have a real QB problem. Those guys you mention had been around forever, but no one seemed like a worthy successor. Then the next generation of elite QB’s appeared overnight. I also like how the new generation of QB’s make the game fun. The Brady, Brees, and Rodgers types have no personality. There was always this idea the QB needed to act like a grumpy old man to be a true team leader. I like watching these guys have fun playing the game.

Maybe a similar QB, but totally different people. Rodgers is nothing but drama, while Allen has been all about the team, and maintaining a low key presence.

Why do guys who get into fights at football game all look the same.

Not a fan of rewatching losses, but it’s awesome the NFL is foreshadowing our next two matchups.

Pederson doesn’t seem to have head coach brains or leadership abilities. He comes a cross as a bit of a meathead.

They could also pass those annoying vuvuzelas they used back in the World Cup.

Edmunds family has an aversion to making big plays.

Tomlin did a great job giving the Browns momentum back with the dumb old school football logic on forth down.

I praised Tomlin earlier, but these type of in game decisions are why some Steelers fans can’t take him anymore.
