I wonder if mommy said not to play until you feel 100% Clearly, all year Lamar has seemed distracted, I wonder what it could be? Can't be a contract, he has the one he wanted, even if they don't extend him. Can't be Monken, with Todd, Lamar was all worldly. Did he buy his offensive linemen Christmas presents like most quarterbacks did? Or did he give them coal for how bad they been? Maybe that is what has him miffed, he isn't happy that they keep saying Faalele is playing great and refuse to switch him out... Jones played great when he given a chance

Harbs said IF, Lamar is ready to play, he will. I just watched a guy, middle linebacker for Cleveland, Swearenger, play a full game with a bad Charlie horse, as they called them back in my day. Today, they call them contusion. He held up pretty well. If Lamar cant handle a bruise on his back, provided it wasn't to his spine, then he is soft. This is a playoff game.

How weird has it been? The Broncos, Jags and Pats are all playing for the #1 seed in the AfC this weekend. Who saw that coming? Some may have said the Broncos, they were solid last year. But no way anyone saw the Pats and certainly not the Jags as "this good".

Oh brother, some still have hope that this team will make the playoffs. As if by some Christmas miracle they will turn into a dominating team. But that miracle may be as real as Santa, yes, I said it, sue me.... Over rhe years the last games between these two teams have meant the loser would be knocked out of the playoffs. Other years it has the winner being rhe division champ. In this Sunday night, ugh, game, both will be on the line. The last time these two teams met with real playoff implications, the Ravens rolled over, around and pounded rhe Steelers, knocking them out of the playoffs, keeping them another year from winning one game in the post season. This time around, who knows if Lamar will play as he nurses what is reportedly a bruise, oh pardon me, a contusion in his back. Even if he does, how will this Jeckle and Hyde offense perform? How will the Ravens defense, that can't seem to stop a leaf blowing across the tundra, stop the Pit offense? So who ya got?

Strangest one that I can remember. I will be shocked if this game is close.

Dagnabit, Browns won....

Ok, so Garret needs a couple, Rogers loves the spot light and copying Favre, so does he lay down a few times for Garret to get the sack record?
-
It is nice to see a win, see Henry run like that. But as you both say, it was all for naught. The proof that this defense is horrible is in this season. Clearly some players either just cannot play at a high level or, my opinion, the DC is to be blamed for teaching them wrong. This is not a playoff team.
-
1 possession for the Pack in the 1st quarter, that is killing time
-
At this rate, Henry might run for well over 250 yards

So what draft position will the Ravens be in?
tsylvester replied to tsylvester's topic in Baltimore Ravens
Big question mark with him. Excellent size when he came into college, hard worker, last year was supposed to be his coming out party, 7 sacks, a ton of pressures, and tackles, many for a loss. Then this now past season, nothing. His tackle numbers are good, but that is about it. He has room on his frame to beef up with muscle at 6'-6", can be a Mike McCreary type of player IF he keeps his work ethic.. But why such a big drop off in sacks? I would not take him at 14, not even in the 1st nor high second -
Love is out with a concussion, Willis will start. Lamar is likely out, this should be a weird game
-
Either Harbs evaded the questions or the reporters didn't follow up with them. Me, coach, what about Lamar sleeping in meetings, is it happening? How about practice time, was it changed because Lamar requested it be changed? Maybe the article I read, in the NY Post, didn't cover his response to those questions, but as thorough as the article was, they would have..
-
Harbs was quick to respond to Donut man, partially. He denies a riff between he and Lamar, but never addressed the other issues, in other words. Nothing about Lamar sleeping in meetings, being out of shape, demanding practice be in fhe afternoon because he cannot get up early. Quite interesting

Na thanks, this team, last year under Monken, had one of the top offenses in the NFL. Even in 2023, thanks in large part to Lamar, the team was top in rushing, 4th down & third down conversions, redzone, for 2 freaking straight years. So the only question is, and one I have asked, many still ask, what the blue blazes happened this year? Lamar was extremely accurate, poised in the pocket, made good decisions, the past 2 years, then after the Bills game, the wheels came off, of everyone. Fix the line, that is the only physical change that was made; one guard position. We know that the line, even a promising player at tackle, had a major fall back in progress. There is only 1 reason for all of the players to play so poorly; the coach. So, for me, the line coach, the defensive coordinator, because that defense is anything but consistent, not in 2 years. If Harbs won't fire both coaches then he goes, though I like rhe idea of him going anyway. I am not thrilled about losing Todd, but with a change in head coach I guess the writing would be on the wall. I also hear the he is a top candidate for the Michigan job, so maybe he gets away from all of these Sally sad sacks and heads up north.
-
Teams didn't want him when he was tagged, why would they want him now, and have to pay more in draft picks? They see what we see, he gets nicked up often and plays terrible in big games when he does play. Then there is the tummy issue he has every season
-
Saturday night might be a night for fighting, but when the Ravens play this season, there is plenty of aggravation. So much so, that fans have had to get drunker than barrel full of monkeys. Sorry Sir Elton, but I just could not resist. What more can be said for a season that is as good as dead. Could the coaches be checking out their next employers? Maybe the players will as well, but.... So who ya got cuz I got nothing.....

There is a lot that goes into blowing a 10 pt lead in the 4th quarter. Injuries of course, penalties, turnovers, play calling, and conditioning. It is amazing that Harbs has won so many games, how many more he could have won had they kept their leads, including another Super Bowl or two. But players have let them down with turnovers, penalties, coordinator's with play calling, injuries have plagued this team over the years. The one constant has been conditioning. When you cannot hold up as you did in the first three quarters, when the running game is no longer working after it was dominating for the 1st 3. When your line can no longer pass protect as they did in the 1st 3. When your defense that was camping in the back field for 3 quarter all of sudden can't move a mouse, and is runover like gramma by a reindeer. That my friends is conditioning, and it gets worse as the season goes on. No matter who the coordinator's were, nor their play calls, it has happened. No matter how healthy the team was, it has happened. When you are tired you hold. You lose focus and jump early, you panic and interfere. Come on Biscuit, it is time.

Accirding to Chad Johnson, the fan called DK the N word and his mother the C word. Frankly, to me it should not matter, ya cant go after a fan. The fan claims he only called DK by his given name, which DK hates...

2 games suspended

Nuff said, from Espn

No word yet, but I doubt it. Likely hiring a lawyer for a lawsuit

This loss was exactly like the other, especially the big games. Henry running wild, then he fumbles. Zay, the only one who can get open, on a critical drive, he fumbles. Henry running wild and the coaches take him out, for what amounted to be most of the 4th quarter. Defense gets pressure in the quarterback but they fall down before sacking him. The only thing missing was the bone headed play from Lamar, but then he "got hurt" late in the 2nd after only scoring 7 pts. Humphrey cant cover any more, sure he had a pick at the goal line, but after that, missed tackles, wide open recievers he is supposed to cover. . How bad is the Pats defense? Huntley hung 17 on them and was driving for a game winning score at the end. The last Pats drive, no pressure, 4 man rush, most of them double teamed, 7 in zone coverage all just waiting for the ball to be thrown to react. Yes, Orr has to go, Harbs as well. His "explanation" as to why Henry was not in for the last 12+ minutes of the game is bunk. "Roation", really? Game on the line, playoffs on the line, division on the line, Henry the only back in the "rotation" who is being extremely productive, is kept out?
-
Another 4th quarter collapse by the defense, an 11 point blown lead. Running at will, create 2 turnovers, 3 sacks, then they disappear. Yes, players need to be gone, positions improved. But the coach has to take blame, this isn't the first time, nor even the 5th time this team has blown a double digit lead in the 4th. Another game they should have won, in the end, oh well. Season is officially over

During the 2nd quarter of the Lions game. After an exchange of words, Metcalf can be seen pulling the fan's hair then taking a swing at him Suspension by the league i am sure will follow
