I find it extremely comical there’s some effort on TBD to defend that play. If someone did that to Josh and concussed him, Bills fans would send death threats.

Super dirty. Deserves to be made into a villain. Arguably the dirtiest hit in the NFL in the last 5 years based on degree of impact, how long the defender had to stop and the injury sustained. It was a dirty play. Full stop. Zero excuse. Don’t do ***** like that then cry that no one supports you.

The context of island games is that you should assume the announcers last saw that team the last time they played on said island game. It all makes sense from that context.

I’m not sure it’s arguable tbh.

credit where credit is due, Mack’s TD catch last night was an absolutely great play by him.

Folks thought Purdy wasn't Tua West lmao.

400 year old tub of goo

Ball game

Can’t take em with you.

That is the best play he has ever made in his career. Wow.

This is the best CMC has looked all year. He was a shell of himself the last 2 weeks.

At least this proves once and for all the laptop story by the NYP was a total hoax

What is Shakir for comparison? I tried to find the numbers.

Here was my comment about Ladd pre-draft, and I stand by it:

so offended about an opinion on your favorite player! Sorry for sharing.

Meh, we just nit pick them harder because of their greatness. Baker and his ilk have their fair share of easy whiffs. You just don't notice them as much.

Ladd's ceiling isn't high enough. I felt that way then and I feel that way now. He's on pace for 79 catches and 1049 yards. That's a really good season for a rookie. IMO, it will likely be one of the best seasons of his career.

Why did Harbaugh do that???

Cincinatti has a great QB and great WR’s and those are the most important things. I want them fishing in Jan/Feb

Watching football for 11 hrs straight.

Engram saw red and went nuts immediately. Rare for a non-OL guy to go off like that.

The commonality is that both players were high ceiling low floor types. If they reached their potential, they could’ve been All-Pros. Neither did, and Edmunds case became a player who looked like he should be an All-Pro but never puts it all together enough, and Elam is a player who flashes but down to down is inconsistent.

Dumpster diving on former high draft picks that haven’t succeeded as a general rule is always a reasonable strategy imo. If you can get the upside to hit, you end up with solid starter+ vs developing an UDFA over 2-3’s whose upside is like decent backup/spot starter.

Okay what does it mean? It means that the psychological advantage I believe KC has had and still has over us in the postseason is lessened. Had we lost to KC? I think this team and this locker room would have that hanging over their head the rest of the season, especially right before the bye. I also think it helped us schematically. We know that even with an injured Cooper and the rag tag bunch at receivers we trotted out, we saw some weak spots in their defense. Cooper himself had a few MASSIVE catches with one working hand. we exposed some flaws. Now, if KC decides to do less single coverage on Cooper, and Coleman/Kincaid can come back healthy, that opens up some room to work. We also saw OCT go toe to toe with a future HoFer in Chris Jones and hold his own. After his rough start to the year, that’s gotta be tremendous for his confidence as a young player. From a Ravens perspective, we saw that they successfully attacked our second level of LBers and S’s to great success. They had Dorian and Spector and Hamlin spinning like tops out there. Schematically, we adjusted and did quite a bit better, but next time we may not have to wait. Hopefully neither of Williams or Spector will be out there when we face them again, and we’ll have Taron backing them up as well, so if they try that same gameplan again, they will be due for a surprise imo. Ultimately, I don’t fear the Ravens as much because I don’t see a reason to fear Lamar in the postseason thus far in his career. We have learned some things from these teams that we have played and will play again. Will gameplans change come playoffs? Sure, they can. To pretend they mean nothing is ignorant. Just don’t bother watching til the playoffs start if weeks 1-18 don’t matter.

I disagree. i think being the only team to beat KC, our biggest rival who is probably the single biggest reason Josh doesn’t have at least one if not multiple SB’s at this point means a lot. I think succeeding where other playoff teams in our conference failed means a lot. I also think that having our wheels beat off by the Ravens in primetime means a lot too. For us and for them. I don’t like that matchup on its face come postseason time. You are happy to feel differently and welcome to attempt to “do what I do to others” as poorly as you’d like.
