  1. I literally just came here to post something similar. There's a lot of hypocrisy in how people are evaluating this game. The Ravens were world beaters through 3 quarters and the Bills didn't deserve to be on the same field as them. Yet, when the Bills game back, it's because the Ravens fell apart, not because the Bills started to play to their potential with MVP at the helm. To me, both teams had up and down moments. McD said the team was overhyped in the first half and the defense settled down in the second half. I also think Josh took the fans leaving early personally. End of the day, sometimes stats and history are out the window when you have two great teams go against each other. They could play tomorrow and the Ravens could win 3-0. However, when it comes to the Ravens vs Bills, it seems like people can't give credit to both teams. It has to be one was bad or one was great.
  2. I think your wife may be humoring you in regards to what she considers a footlong 🤷‍♂️ 😜
  3. My dear lord.... This is my first time seeing this. I would have punted too after that.
  4. It’s also 6” wide…..
  5. Anyone else see how close that was to being blocked, and it was actually ripped by Hamilton? The Ravens blew through the right side of the line and Hamilton got the tips of his fingers on the ball. I know it went through, but I got sick to my stomach looking at the replay and imagining how that could have gone. Granted, the Ravens were able to jump the snap due to the clock situation, but still. That was wild.
  6. $12 is for a foot long. Regular hot dogs are $7, which is the league average.
  7. I don’t know why everyone is acting so crazy. Boring game and never questioned the Bills for a second. Act like you’ve been here before nerds
  8. Oliver went full Thanos. “Fine. I’ll do it myself”
  9. Bench Palmer Josh’s early slide is going to cost them
  10. I’m surprised we only have 8 lineman, but so many DBs active. I was expecting them to plan for more bigger boxes on top of a 4-3. Should be interesting
  11. I live down here in Baltimore and none of them are worried about the game against the Bills. They all expect to win. Some fans called in to say they are making t-shirts to go to the game that say "City of Losers" and has reference to the 4 SB losses. I don't know if it's the Josh MVP or what, but they act like that ex-gf who says they don't care anymore, but can't stop talking about us.
  12. Ravens 42 Bills 17 First pass of the game is to Andrews as the Ravens spend the entire first half exercising their playoff loss demons while the Bills are still trying to find their in-season footing after not playing together in the preseason. It's 24-3 at halftime, with Josh and Palmer finding a rhythm in the second half, but it's too little, too late, as Henry starts to wear down the defense and the Ravens put together long, brutal drives to close this one out. The next day, all of the Josh MVP naysayers are out in full force and the Ravens are the regular season warriors of old.
  13. The minute I saw Gabe at Josh's wedding, I figured Gabe would be back in some capacity. Perfectly fine with this as a PS signing. Gabe is great only when you have zero expectations.
  14. I personally think it's the ambiguity around when the drop off actually happens with age. Most of these guys are due for a second contract around age 26. Giving someone a 3-4 year contract, when you don't know if their body will break down within that contract, PLUS (as you stated), there's so much cheaper replacement talent that can be found with mid-draft rookies, that teams don't really have an incentive to pay them.
  15. How the hell Lamar is over Josh?! I’m sorry, I don’t care about these lists, but cmon…. I would take Josh over Lamar 10 times out of 10. Lamar still hasn’t proven he can show up big in the playoffs or if he has to throw more than 40 times in a game.
  16. Allen and Bernard only.
  17. In another reality, I'm curious how the Cowboys would have reacted to a trade package involving Kincaid, Cook, and one of our defensive lineman.
  18. I hate to say it, but I'm not optimistic about this game. Outside of the Rams game a few years back, we tend to start slow, and that's assuming everyone is healthy. I fully expect some rust with Josh, Shakir, and a few other guys, especially in their timing. The Ravens are going to be hungry for revenge. I know the game matters for tie-breakers and I would love to pull out the win, but I'm not holding my breath. With that being said, I don't put a lot of stock into Week 1 games, and we will be a very different team come week 7, with suspensions and injuries coming back to us.
  19. Having a day to sit on this, here's where I'm at. Cap wise, I don't think we could have made this work at all. To trade Groot or Oliver would be a big cap hit, plus having to pay Parsons. In a magical world where that doesn't matter, for me it comes down to. Would you rather have Parsons or Oliver, Groot, and our next two first round picks. That's a tough call for me and I would say it's a fairly even wash. The deciding factor to me is culture fit, which I'm not so sure Parsons would be here. It's hard to say that for sure, and him being a top talent on defense at his age is tough to overlook. But in the big picture, I just don't see how Parsons would have fit in with our culture, salary cap, and having a "pay my top money" guy. Besides Josh, who didn't even ask for that, we expect everyone to have a team mentality. Would I love to have Parsons on the team? Of course. Just don't see how it would fit
  20. While not in the same division, I can’t imagine Dallas wanted to trade with the Eagles, Packers, or 49ers, which makes me believe this was the best deal they received. Considering everyone was speculating it would take at least two 1sts and a player, I think the market was less than speculated. Granted, for those upset with the Cowboys, could they have physically paid Parsons even if they wanted to? Dak and Lamb are making top 3 money. It would have been almost 150 mil for just three players. I feel like that’s roster suicide. Ask the Bengals
  21. I'd like to more about the three question marks in the title.
  22. Does Gore get snatched up by someone else or make it to our practice squad?
  23. Why is this being featured as “Breaking News” on the ESPN homepage?! 😡🤬 ***** em both
