Okay, time to move on. The Browns come to town, now, will there be a hangover from that late night fantastically high flying LOSS, after surrendering a 15 point lead in the 4th quarter? Will they be mad, crazy mad as most fans are today, and take it out on the Browns? Cleveland's defense is for real, let us start there. They held the high flying Bemgals offense to, ready, 7 yards, yes, 7 yards in the 2nd half of their game. They have a tremendous pass rush, the Ravens line will be tested early and often. The Browns offense though is not that dangerous, no matter who is at quarterback. But we know Joe, he loves to throw crossing and seam routes, and take shots deep down field. But he is a statue, just as likely to dump it down to keep from being clobbered. Their only real threat is at tight end where the Ravens have a terrible time covering. Folks, I love Joe, yes, the Super Bowl run was the most unexpected run I've ever witnessed. But more than that, he finished a half with a torn acl & pcl, I'll never forget how tough he is. With that said, it is clobbering time, its time to wake up this pass rush, ther line of the Browns is not very good, get to him early and often. So, who ya got?

A fan pushed Lamar's head after the Hop td. Lamar pushed the fan back. Fan was banned Now the problem, players are prohibited from touching fans, even in a retaliation way. Automatic suspension so the rules say. So, does Lamar get suspended and for how long?

So a fan pushes Lamar's head, Lamar pushes him back. Fan was banned for life. Now, does Lamar get suspended, per league rules?

Harbs is tied for 15th in NFL history in wins, with 1 super bowl victory.

Stephens was getting torched by Rogers, a pi that lead to a score, a dropped int that resulted in a score oh and giving up big plays, because he "slipped". It's one game, the 1st game. Im gonna chalk it up to running out of gas. This was a team loss, offense could have won the game by running out the clock. They could have been more aggressive in the 4th and score another time when up by 15. The defense could have made one stop at the end. Or how about that 4th and 2 in the redzone where the pass was tipped and bounded to a Bills receiver for a score. No, you should not lose a game where you score 40 pts, yes, run the clock out, maybe throw on 1st down with less than 2 mins left in the game and they are expecting a run...

40 points, not ready to play? 15 pt lead in the 4th quarter, not ready to play? 3 punts? The Bills once again could not stop this offense for 3 quarters. No, they were ready to play, with just over 2 minutes left in the game, the Ravens had the ball. Yet they ran out of gas or took their foot off of the gas earlier in the quarter, maybe thinking 1 td in the 4th was enough. Even so, the offense could have iced the game, Bills had 0 timeouts left. 1 or 2 1st downs, Ravens win 40-38. But no, maybe conditioning was the factor? Then maybe it was coaching. The defense reversed back to last year's early defense, cant hold a lead. This after a pretty good first game of the season performance against one of the best teams in the league, holding them to 25 pts in 3 quarters. Stopping not 1, not 2, but what, 3 2 pt conversions? But alas, when this team needed a stop, they just ran out of gas. The Bills had almost 500 yards of total offense, 497, became the 1st team to overcome a 15 pt deficit in the final 4 minutes of a season opener in history, of course while wearing Pocahontas under shorts So yes, maybe it was coaching; conditioning for 4 quarters

They didn't look much better, clearly this was week 4 of the preseason Wilson, 17 of 37, ouch for 168 Daniels 19 of 30 for 233 1 td 68 yards rushing

Burrow only had 114 yards passing on 15 of 24. Flacco had 291 yards on 31 of 45, but has 2 picks... Bengals had only 141 total yards

Jets lost this game more than the Stillers won. Fields made the wrong call on a few zone reads on a couple of third downs. Then he stops short of running for a 1st down on 4th with 30 seconds left, instead throws it to a tightly covered recover who gets pummeled and drops the ball. Misses extra point so they chase points, cost them two pts on 2 failed 2 pt conversions. This game should have gone to over time if anything. They also dropped at least 2 picks...

Stephens is killing the Jets, blown coverage, dropped int, now a penalty. DK, 2 drops, another one good defense I suppose now a lucky couple of bounces from another drop gets him a catch

Hate that it is at night, will have to watch a bit them record the rest. At least my daughter, who lives in Tennessee, will get to watch them.. Stillers don't look to good on defense and their offensive line is still terrible

Held in for the last part of training camp, got some new money added to this year's salary, if he earns it. $3 million in incentives, some usually only used by the Steelers for quarterbacks.. Good thing for them, watching them today against the Jets, they need him. Jets are killing them between the tackles, not much push on the pocket in passing plays. Now how much better will they be with the 36 year old? I know his mind is willing but will his body say yes?

Would have been a great show if fhey could have had Goose and Artie on the same stage for an hour long dialogue

I had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of times at various gatherings, always a smile and a hand shake, and very happy to share stories of his old colt days over a few beers.

Artie was great, always took time to speak woth the fans. What I found so amazing was how short he was yet that didn't stop him from being a great NFL player

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46096171/baltimore-ravens-lamar-jackson-2025-game-another-level It was midway through Baltimore Ravens training camp when quarterback Lamar Jackson rolled to his right and saw wide receiver Keith Kirkwood open along the sideline for a surefire big play. But Jackson's pass sailed wildly over Kirkwood. Without hesitation, Jackson, a two-time NFL Most Valuable Player, dropped face-first to the ground and did 10 pushups. Coaches and teammates say this is a glimpse of how Jackson is constantly chasing perfection and how this underscores his bold statement on the first day of training camp. When asked if there was another level to his game, Jackson replied, "Yes. I'm only 28. I'm really just getting started." As the Ravens prepare to open the season Sunday night at the Buffalo Bills (8:20 p.m. ET, NBC), Jackson is at a point in his career where he's entering his prime while dealing with the same questions. He believes there is more to his game, but he's facing increasing pressure to follow a spectacular regular season with an equally remarkable postseason. "We've had two back-to-back years of some really, really tough losses that ended the season in a way that we don't want to end the season," Ravens quarterbacks coach Tee Martin said. "If you know Lamar, like I know him competitively, he's probably thought about that every day [and] every minute during the offseason. So, that comes with a sense of urgency and a sense of purpose." Jackson's latest playoff disappointment -- a 27-25 divisional round loss in Buffalo -- came after he produced one of the best seasons by a quarterback in NFL history. He became the first player to throw more than 40 touchdown passes and fewer than five interceptions in the same season. Jackson proved again that he's the league's most explosive playmaker in the league, leading the NFL in yards per pass attempt (8.8) and yards per carry (6.6). After watching Jackson deliver this impressive season, Ravens tight end Mark Andrews said jokingly that it might be 10 years until everyone sees Jackson at his peak. "Every year, he finds a new way to get better and better," Andrews said. "It's almost like the game has just continually slowed down for him. And he's already such a fast, dynamic player and his playmaking, the way he reads the game, he's just getting more and more comfortable. I love the way that he's just going about his business and continues to move that bar higher and higher, which is already incredible." When looking at the careers of the previous three multiple NFL MVP winners who are either retired or nearing the end of their careers, Jackson could be -- as he said -- just getting started. All six of the seasons Peyton Manning totaled a passer rating over 100 came when he was 28 or older. All eight of Tom Brady's seasons with over 4,500 passing yards came when he was 30 or older. Aaron Rodgers' seven highest touchdown pass seasons came when he was 28 or older. Jackson could be approaching that same cusp after reaching new heights as a passer last season. He produced a career-best 4,172 passing yards, which were 494 more than any of his previous six seasons. He also set personal marks for most touchdown passes (41) and fewest interceptions (four) in a season. "I think Lamar kind of makes his own trajectory," left tackle Ronnie Stanley said. "He's going to do things week-in and week-out that we haven't seen before, so it's always surprising the new things he can do and accomplish. After playing with him for eight years, I'm not surprised by him always pushing the limits and breaking new boundaries." WHEN ANALYZING HOW Jackson can further ratchet up his game, the knee-jerk reaction is to focus on his passing. For those close to Jackson, it's more about what is happening after he throws the ball. On the practice field, Jackson talks to his wide receivers about what went right and wrong on the previous plays. He has even pulled wide receivers coach Greg Lewis and offensive line coach George Warhop to talk off to the side. "He's more vocal than he ever has been about what he wants from us, even to the staff and the offensive linemen," wide receiver Rashod Bateman said. "He's definitely pushing the agenda of just staying hungry and being competitive." Jackson has never been outspoken. He has never been the type of player to deliver a great motivational speech. His style has always been leading by example. But coaches have pushed him to talk to teammates more one-on-one. "Mentally, he's in a different place," Martin said. "It's his third year in the system. He's playing with a lot of the same players. Having the [good] communication of the guys who he has to communicate with the most, Bateman, Zay [Flowers], all the guys, Mark. It's time to take not only himself to the next level, but the whole unit."

These have been terrific games, thrilling, surreal, heart breaking. When the Ravens play their A game, they run down the throats of the Bills, wear them down, then dominate. The offense controls the clock, the ball, making the Bills have to be one dimensional, throw, to keep up. It is a recipe that has worked almost to perfection, almost because they only seem employ it in the regular season, at least on a consistent basis. Last season, well, last post season, they controlled the game by running the ball, mixed in timely passing. Then forgot one thing, protect the ball. They turned the ball over trying to do too much, they dropped key passes trying too hard to make a play. In essence, they forgot to remember who they were; the better team. So now we run this back, a regular season game, this one to open the season. Will they remember? So, who ya got?

Nice watching football again, college today, tomorrow, Monday. Question for the audience. If a runner can now be pushed forward and have the ball spotted forward from where the scrim started. Why then, do we not give the defense the same courtesy, when said runner is pushed back? Instead of forward progress being the call. Oh I know, offense sells...

That netflix show was awesome. You could really see how Jimmy was the reason for their success, in the draft and on the field. The players knew it. Had they kept him, they win 2 more, but neither he nor Jerry could put their egos aside. The worst thing to happen to that franchise was their winning the super bowl with Barry as head coach. That, to Jerry, confirmed that Jones was the "great football mind" behind their success. My how easy it was to fool himself...

Maybe, maybe they did get other offers and this was the best they could do. Yes, starting this earlier would have been wiser, and I do think Jerry should step back from the gm role and just be a silent owner. He clearly knows football, but has little horse sense.

Yes, maybe low round 1 picks, so what? Use one to combine to move up in the draft next year that will have an abundance of talent, by all accounts. You've got Dak and CD paid top dollar, cant pay everyone. Had you paid Mincah earlier, Mincah would have signed the deal he agreed to when met with Jerry, in March, but no, he changed his mind when he brought the deal to his agent.
