Why the fuck did the jets get rid of Flacco last year, he was so much better than every QB on their roster last year and this year after Rodgers got hurt. Now I gotta watch him play for the fucking browns. Come on jets.

You say that as if someone here disagrees with it

I think it’s a mistake to give all the credit to EDC. We have a lot of scouts doing an awesome job and we have paid some really great position coaches to develop these guys, and we gave them the time and training they needed to develop. And our DC has created a scheme to maximize their strengths. Most of the guys making big contributions this year weren’t playing at this level last year. Most defensive players you listed that we drafted had minimal or even bad rookie years. The consistency and quality of development of players is really the unsung hero on the defensive side of the ball this year.

TBH though we are rarely in 1 score lead situations to begin with lol

Yeah honestly I think it’s a bit unusual, I’m not really sure what the logic behind it is so I don’t know how to judge it. I was under the impression teams used that extra week to prep extra stuff. Maybe the coaches will be cooking stuff while the players are off, maybe health was a greater concern than any prep work, I can only guess.

To clarify, it was that the Ravens only had 1 game (chargers) in a 23 day span, not that they don’t play at all in 23 days

Holy shit, right next to suicide squad. Hopefully next year’s video game quality doesn’t compensate for this year’s lol

If you are young and started watching football within the last 10 years, you’ve watched the Ravens win 1 playoff game. Everyone can tell you how great the team is but all you’d have ever seen with your own eyes is 2019 and 2020

And none of them share a division with another top team, Seahawks 49ers is the closest.

This isn’t a direct response to this particular grade but I’m so done with pff. Shit is so fake

When’s the last time the Ravens were 2-8?

I just finished Alan Wake 2 and I feel like I’m the only person in the world who didn’t like this game.

Yeah I actually loved the first one and was very excited for the sequel, and I can’t do it. Every time I open the game and have to deal with the gameplay I just turn it off. Some of the worst gameplay I’ve ever had to suffer through. Love everything else but my God I just can’t do the gameplay. I know the first one didn’t have great gameplay either but I don’t remember being this off-put by it.

Or if, say, we each lose once, but the chiefs lose to an AFC team and we lose to an NFC team like the 49ers, I think we might take the tie breaker then

Maybe he just needs to do 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10km run EVERY SINGLE DAY until the playoffs start.

Us playing against January Joe behind the best defense in the league in the playoffs is like my number 1 fear.

The offense is really heating up. Still some hiccups to work out and the Andrews injury is tough but I still don’t see our offense looking like it did in the first few weeks any time soon. We didn’t get 30 offensively against the browns but they’re also the best defense we’ll play all year. I still think the browns got very lucky they won that game. I know our defense imploded but they got a pick 6 off a tip drill and a blocked field goal, those are mostly pure luck plays.

TBH I’ve never bought a jersey because it’s kind of a scam. Spend a stupid amount of money on a shirt because our corporate overlords convinced everyone to pay the fanhood tax? No thanks.

But did they have one ready to go when Burrow went down? I wonder how long we’ll have to wait for “analysts” to stay questioning if Burrow can stay healthy in the NFL at all?

If the Bengals sign Joe Flacco and start balling out, I’m blaming you

It is kinda fucked up to frame the question like that, because it makes you directly responsible for the outcomes, but everyone is at risk every game. Guys go out and play to win knowing that. If you were gonna take the deal to avoid the injury and take the loss, where do you draw the line? When do you stop forfeiting games? Mandrews could have been hurt in the next game, or the next game, and so on. At some point you have to man up and shit up and our guys do it every week because they want to win.

This game was pretty damn important to the divisional standings. The browns or Steelers WILL get a win Sunday and say least one if not both have tie breakers on us, so if we went to 4 losses with the bye coming up, our lead over the division could disappear like that.
