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..

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.

Top 10 coach all time? Hyperbole much there romo? lomardi, Gibbs, tuna, belicheck, noll , Johnson, Walsh, Landry, Shula, brown, madden, steam, and ewbanks all off the top of my head are way better

The tackle that seals his angry, intent to injure is the one on Obj. To use a term from an idiot ref who is now retired, he tackles with malice in his heart. He didn't just tackle Obj, he drove him to the ground and made sure his body was fully on top of Obj. There are a number of ways to tackle someone, most are lower in % of injury risk. The way he tackles, 90% risk of injury.

The NFL Is Not Freekn Legit. Gotta sell all the teams junk. Keep divisions close so all gullible fans buy jerseys, cups, helmets, footballs and all the other trash(beer) they sell to fans. Gotta keep divisions close to sell the stuff. Oh and fine players whose jerseys aren’t selling. SMH sorry for the ranting.

One thing that popped into my head, the play where Lamar hurt his ankle. The defender, I forget which one, actually pulled an alligator move on him, holding his leg then twisting as he, the defender, rolled over. The more I think about the more I think it was a dirty play...m

Very nice,you way ahead of me

If they get Hop, and Lamar signs, and this goes sideways, doesn't work, the front office will have to be fired. Now I am not saying Super Bowl or bust, they aren't the Jets right now, where if Rodgers doesn't produce a championship in the next year or 2 it is a failure. But this team, sans injuries, with those additions would have to have a run deep in the playoffs each of the next what, 3 years, or it will be a failure. Or if this offense doesn't take off because of Lamar....

He deserves less bc his value is worse than Hurtz.

lol @ Lamar if he is. See my previous post.

Agree plus a new OC who can get rid of this problematic offensive scheme.

The Smith question bugs me too. I wouldn't mind seeing Lamar go, Roman go, and a bunch of other dead wood in the coaches department. Bisciotti could always give Harbaugh a 'pre-retirement' job and replace him as HC. But, I really would like to see Smith here long term. If he goes we gave up too much to get him and this team is going nowhere but down fast.

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....

The quality of play is leaving a lot to be desired. Is it just me or do most players seem both less able and less motivated??

The Ravens will be fired up this Sunday and despite the injuries will prevail. Just a hunch.

That's all it is and has been doe decades. Ever since Jerry started making his own ad agreements it became a.free for all to make the most cash.

Thanks everybody. This was an interesting exercise because everybody here follows the Ravens closely. We know the team strengths and weaknesses. It is interesting because we can't come to a consensus on who the Ravens will win their games against. tsyl's prediction of 1-6 Is a very fitting point that basically says we don't know what this team will do. It's a real possibility. Depressing for sure, but it shows the difficulty of the task that lays before the Ravens if they want to make playoffs this year. They are that weakened by injuries. varavens For December losses in a row scenario looks like a heart attack waiting to happen at the end of the season. Oldno Has them sweeping the Steelers and losing both games to the Browns. crav Has it differently. And me???? As usual I'm all confused . Who will rise from the ashes and claim the North? The Browns have two remaining games with the Ravens, and one each with the Raiders, Packers, Steelers, and Bengals. The Steelers have two remaining games with the Ravens, and one each with the Bengals, Vikings, Titans, Chiefs, and Browns. Looking at that I'd say they're out of it. The Bengals have one remaining game against the Steelers, Chargers, 49ers, Broncos, Ravens, Chiefs, and Browns. Looking at that, for the Ravens to win the North, one of the games they'll really need is a win over the Bengals. They will also really need to split their games with the Steelers and Browns. Anyway you look at it, this is going to be one hell of a wild finish to the 2021 regular season.

To me he was always the number one and should be; he has earned the right for more carries.

Some people just look for ways to be miserable.....
