Bye Lamar. He is 1-3 in the playoffs and didn't bother to travel with the team for their playoff game. Maybe help guide the starting quarterback in his place, talk him up, be a leader. But, he wants to be the highest paid QB in the league. Maybe when he puts up the numbers, wins, accuracy, and reliability as Mahomes or Allen. Hell, Joe Burrow has more playoff wins.

This time of year makes me sad. I really miss the drive up to McDaniel College to watch training camp practices and grabbing lunch with you guys afterward as we discuss what we saw. Good times gone by.

All I can keep thinking is: "I hope we can keep him here". This is a guy you can build a defense around that will last years.

He can ctach passes from Lamar all he wants, in the off season. But when the season starts, he can catch fish in the Seattle fish markets..

lol. Yep. I still can't really login unless I'm using incognito. So weird. But I'm in and I'm back!

And of course it happens when I watch! I'm watching Grumpier Old Men now. Appropriate.

My mom is downstairs clapping. Touchdown?

Tsy. No place in this game for these kind of players. Just remember - those who exalt themselves will be humbled. Believe that !

Send me a message if things break.

Agreed the hangover extends into London or the team consumes some bad fish and chips . Either way, we don’t show up but even if we miraculously make it close, bad Lamar shows up, Harbaugh easily gets out coached by Vrabel, and we come home 3-3. Oh and Harbaugh throws another coach or player under the bus and explains how they’ll look at the film and get better. Book it !

It is far worse than I even thought. I have been going back and forth with a dumbass. He thinks turdy is a great coach. I said he has been along for the ride and anything good that has happened to this team has been done despite him. So onto the research.

Number 4 & 35 this year, plus a 1 next year works for me

Could be a reality check for him. If we end up with two 1sts, atleast we may not be in cap hell for the foreseeable future

Im liking this one.

This team is fizzling; reminds me of the end of the Billick era in circa 2006-7. The message is stale, there's little team character, chemistry and or substance. I think the right package - coach, OC & QB - can and should improve this teams lot. We might slide a year (2 yrs max), but Id rather do that then watch a very slow, painful bleed job.

Lamar sealed his own fait, 2 victories without him, Biscuit will Not give him 250 mil guaranteed

This line is actually better, much better than they played yesterday. They just had a very bad game, injuries caught up to them. We knee the rookie mountain would struggle with fast, small defensive ends. A good coach sees this and adjusts, and Roman did not adjust. Even the receivers are good enough, but using them properly, using routes designed to beat zones, get people open is the key. Roman does none of these things. As I said, this offense has gotten worse as the season has progressed, it is not as if the defenses have gotten better, quite the opposite in fact. Yes, the evidence is clear, even Harbs, the Biscuit have to see it, Roman has to go. Defenses are keeping their safeties with in 15 yards of the los, linebackers within 8. That makes it very difficult to run consistently. Before yesterday they would have to blitz to beat this offensive line, even then, the pass blocking held. The issue with the passing game was either poor route combos, or a qb who could not throw on time because he was confused, or could not throw accurately, leaving no yak. We saw proof of that at times yesterday. Huntley got the ball out quickly, timely, and accurately to provide yak. Is he the end all, certainly not. But he deserves a chance to show that this offense can score. You look at other games, Goff for crying out loud put up yards and points. Offenses see safeties 15 yards deep, linebackers 10, making it easier to not just run the ball, but have space for underneath routes, for yak. So that when there is a 5 yard pass, the receiver doesn't have 5 guys tackling him right away. The line will be fine, but they need help getting those back 7 to back off, it's all Roman.

For whatever reason, we don’t play well against Jax- cant get that monkey off our backs. The D laid an egg in the 4th Q but it shouldn’t have come down to that. We should have been up 14-0 instead of 6-0 then let a weaker opponent stick around and come back. I think it’s safe to say we’ve seen Lamar’s ceiling. This team has a dysfunctional offense and has for the past four years. There’s no way we offer him a long term deal. This team in its current form has no chance to advance in the playoffs, even IF it makes it that far. And that stinks. We need to build the rest of the offense around the QB and prepare for a legit franchise QB, maybe in 23; much more likely in 24. Until we get that, we’re going to see exactly what we saw today against the bad teams and big time struggle against the winning teams. My two cents…

Here, as an apology for my negativity, enjoy these rookies being ridiculous

Tag and trade him gets you there.

Thank you so much for this place, for all that you do, you are truly an amazing person.

I still have a football from the Denver playoff game Femi tossed to me. Funny story; A friend had an extra ticket, his wife couldn't make so he, I and his 8 year old son went. At half time, I head up to get a hot cocoa, Femi, who had broken his foot earlier in the season, was in line in front of me. We started up a conversation about the game, how well it was going. Then I said with a smirk, half joking; hey, if you get a chance toss me a ball, I'm sitting right behind the bench. He laughed, played along and said sure. Late in the 4th with game out of hand, Femi came within ear shot. I yelled to him, there was a ball under the bench right behind him. He picks it up and tosses it to me...

Burrows is a narcissistic SOB and I don’t want him as the face of my team. I’ll take Lamar any day.

Burrows can take his cigar smoking act and shove it up his ass.

The players clearly loved Wink, were a bit shocked by this move, this should be interesting. The wrong move now could end the Harbs regime...

Huntley should be the starter. Sit Jackson let him heal till the contract or trade him for picks. Papa has been right about harbaugh all along. He’s a motivational speaker at best and has very little football savy whatsoever. IMHO I’m not reacting to the game outcome either. It has been obvious to me for years.

Good on Huntley. He did prety well. Give him the practice snaps this week.

Why doest every parking lot in this country have solar panels in them that we park under. I just recently saw a vid on a technology they are about to use in the UK. They are going to add little vertical wind turbines to the light poles on the highways and as cars go by the wind off them turn the turbine. That is in addition to a windy day. Each one would power a few houses for a yr by the estimates. We have a lot of highway miles with probably millions of lights on them,

Can the backup kicker hang out in est bmore in the middle of the night in a few weeks?

Good read, lot of fair points. With the exception of a couple games, I just do not think Lamar is playing that bad.

Ravens - Browns another quintessential AFCN slobberknocker. Whoever executes and plays the best error free ball wins. Would love to see a great game from Keaton Mitchell following last weeks debut. I don’t care about margin of victory or style points; just get the W ! Go Ravens

Gee they've started already. The Brownies had to trade for a kicker. Makes you appreciate even more Justin.

Brees and Tua tell you arm strength isnt the everything. Hooker being in the Monken system could be a good fit. But if we have to eat one and take a lost yr do it so we can grab Caleb Williams next yr.

Lamar says he stayed out of the playoff game because he didn't want to play on his pcl and play poorly, that playing would have been selfish. Lamar, the last time you played 100% healthy in the playoffs you played terrible. Stop the false narrative...

Oc. Hopefully Reich

I did not stay up for that crap show, so glad that I did not. I would say that I am shocked the defense gave up almost 200 yards on the ground, but then it was a night game, they only gave up 16 pts, held the opposing qb to 50% completion rate. Still, another game with a double digit lead, lost. Why? The offense ran for almost as many yards, JK with 111 on 17 carries. Huntely completed some passes, 1 td, Andrews broke out. 9 catches, the problem wad, that was almost as many passes that were thrown and Huntely completed one to the Steelers. It is the same old tune, this passing offense is just atrocious, it doesn't matter who is behind center and NO, it is NOT the receivers. The Biscuit has to see other teams with burger flippers for quarterbacks putting up 200+ yard, multiple touchdown passing games. He has to, he claims to be a football fan. The Steelers, early on used 6 defensive lineman, six! I haven't seen a split six defense since high-school, in the 1980's. That is easy pass & catch when you use play action, I know, we beat that defense every time and our qb was terrible. Nothing is going to change with this passing offense, we have one qb who can't throw deep because he doesn't have the arm, another who has the arm but is not accurate down field. Even if they could, the plays designed, route combinations used do not make it easy to get someone open deep. Then there is the line, the pass blocking, there is no pocket to hold up for 3 seconds. I've given up on this season, I expect this offense to continue to implode.

Smith, Humphries, Peters, Williams, Stanley, Campbell, sure, not Reed, Lewis, etc, but they are pretty darned good

I've seen enough. Week 14 coming up. The Ravens have too many good players to be executing like this. Roman has to go. Harbaugh needs to have a serious talk with Macdonald about what the hell he's doing at times. The D played well yesterday except for a few times. This "bend don't break" shit killed us in the Jaguars game and they almost lost yesterday because of it. It took the Broncos 26 seconds to go down the field from their 18 and get in FG range. Sorry! Not acceptable! Eric needs to talk with Harbaugh about his plan to save a sinking ship. Baltimore Ravens Offense....

Roman should go at the end of the season. He's shown an inability to adapt just as he did with his previous 2 teams. Lamar looks really down, man. He definitely ain't having fun like he used to and that seems to go hand-in-hand with how he performs. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he didn't request a trade after this season. Wouldn't that be something?

Harbaugh can't deal with any strong players let alone a nut case like A.B.

WOW! It was ambitious then. Check out all the old technology. Cutting edge back then.

Areyoshiddingme. Gift wrapped pick and you can't come up with it

Also, I thought, based on the title, that Cravn started this thread. lol.

Now...after I wasted my breath and fingers....because I'm stupid... #20 coming up! Pre season or not...there is a scoreboard. It's there for a reason. It will have some numbers on it. And it is the WTF'ers. It would be nice to get #20, yet I'll admit that getting Lamar, Stanley and the O line out there is very important....maybe some receivers???? Watkins?? .get them some live action work. And I have my roster card because there are a lot of players who I want to see if they are the future.

I think we should combine our talents and write a TV series. I'm certain we can do as good as Schitts Creek.

Agreed the TEAM lost. And at 23 with his makeshift OL, barely serviceable WRs and questionable play calling, Lamar can only do what can he do? Still, at some point - maybe not this year - he will need to will the TEAM to victory, win the big ones, and yes a playoff game. He will get many chances to win, starting Sunday against the Titans.
