He's making up for lost time in that MVP race. I still don't think the Ravens look very good though. I think this is 2 bad teams playing and one team just quit.

Hard to believe they really care too much at this point. They are probably all in on "The U" football at the moment.

Man, the fish didn't even leave the tunnel from the locker room for the second half. Nice professionalism guys.

Sacks are not considered in passer rating. So if, theoretically, maintaining a high passer rating was important to you, it would be better to eat a sack rather than throw it away or throw a contested pass. So many college wide open players around the league. It just looks easy.

That screen was a perfect play call away from the blitz

A fumble inside the 10 and a missed chip shot FG is a 10 point swing. It really boils down to that.

Especially on Thursday night. These games are always ugly and frequently low scoring. Just take the points.

Didn't the Miami kicker get a 70 yarder in the preseason? That would have been a 68 yarder.

I kind of wonder if it just costs more money to have more production people putting together these replay clips in real time. Might be cost cutting. The graphics created ahead of time can be outsourced to very cheap labor. On Monday night football a couple weeks ago we got like 2 replays the entire first half, it was jarring.

Dolphins defense has really only given up one scoring drive (I'm not going to hold a 7 yard TD drive against them when they got the Ravens into 4th and goal).

Missing that 35 yard FG is killer

The thing I don't like about that play is you really need to see the leg whip to call it. There is no way the ref saw the leg whip because there was none.

Hardly ever hear the "rules expert" disagree with the refs on the field so strongly like that.

Miami isn't making the playoffs, it's better if they have a worse draft pick.

Wow, college wide open receiver there.

Have you seen the Browns offense this year? They don't even move the ball.

Miami playing well except for the handful of plays where they are playing terrible.

Based on what we've seen so far I think the Fins are going to win by 2 scores. They look a lot better on both sides of the ball (fumble notwithstanding).

So we know the Ravens can get at least 7 yards if given 4 downs to do so

Importantly Mahomes doesn't have to face Spags. Everybody after the game said that was a really unusual blitz that went against what they did the entire game, and they had several bluffs beforehand to keep Allen guessing.

Last season we had Hollins who was serviceable, and Allen seemed to trust down the field. He led the team in receiving TDs. We also had Cooper for the second half of the season who played like a real NFL WR2. This season we have Kincaid back (when he’s targeted he looks good). But Palmer hasn’t really replaced Cooper or Hollins and now he’s going to miss a chunk of the season. So we just have less talent than last season. We banked a bit on Coleman taking a step forward and he looks like he’s actually taken a step back.

The Bengals winning that game had a lot to do with Patrick Mahomes forgetting how to play football during halftime. He never had a chokejob like that vs us, and a lot of it was unforced. There is some luck involved.

Here is the problem with this guy’s argument. - What happens if you need to run the 2 minute drill? You can’t just pound the rock. - By the same token, what happens if you need to run the 4 minute drill? - What happens if a team is very good at stopping the run without stacking the box (see: New England). - What happens if a team does stack the box and your WR can’t beat man coverage anyway? - What happens if Cook gets dinged up? He’s getting more carries than he’s ever had in his college or pro career. - What happens if your defense chokes and you are down 2 scores early and need to chase points? You can’t survive in the NFL without a competent passing game. It’s a huge problem. We only had 2 completions to boundary WR in the Carolina game (or something like that, can’t remember the exact stat).

Kelce would have recognized it was an all out blitz because he’s a cagey veteran. He probably would have cut his route short and made himself available and no heroic dive would have been necessary. I’ve seen him do it a hundred times.

Meyers requested a trade during the offseason and again at the beginning of the season, so this isn’t out of nowhere. With the Raiders pretty much out of the playoff picture I think he will get traded and the Raiders are just holding out for the best offer. It’s possible nobody has ponied up a 3rd yet and they are waiting until desperation kicks in. It’s a sellers market right now for WRs. Not much out there.
