If they are going to be that ticky tack on PI they better call it for both sides
-
Fumble! Nice work by Peters
-
That is a lame flag
-
Boykin! Nice pass & catch
-
Nice move by Snead
-
You can't throw late over the middle especially when you have one on one on the outside, safety in the middle of the field, easy pass & catch instead of a pick six...

Rain & a soggy field... Should be interesting specialy if the wind gets going..
-
Ugh, could be prep for another trade, opens a little cap room
-
So if the passing game does not work this weekend, do the Ravens pull the trigger and pay the ransom for Theilan? He would break the cap but might really help this passing attack

I really don't know what to make of this game or what to expect from this team. If they play their best game, the Steelers don't stand a chance. However, the best way to beat this blitz happy defense is the short quick passes the Steelers utilize. The best way to stop Lamar is with speed at the defensive ends/olb and press coverage; exactly how the Steelers play/have. Hey, we have better special teams, right? No fans in the stands helped the Dodgers thwart a guy's attempt to steal home, the pitcher was able to hear his catcher yell the guy was stealing. Can that help the wideouts yell to Lamar they are open? Or for Stanley to yell; "look out!"

Raiders put 4 of five offensive linemen on the covid list, switches the Sunday night games, puts Vegas at 4pm in case they have to postpone that game to ensure there is a Sunday night game... Losers...
-
Good deal for a 3rd pick next year and conditional 5th the year after. Can they keep him motivated? I think so with the leadership on the defensive line

It has amazed since they came here with Jackson & Alexander, since they had to let them walk they haven't been able to draft one. I do think they have some talent good enough, it's just they are not using the routes properly. Ive also noticed on the all 22, that Lamar has not thrown on time to a receiver about to break open or who should get open on his route based on the defense. Instead, Lamar chose to throw elsewhere for no gain because of coverage. Now, the key is, who was the primary? Every qb does this, from time to time, but Lamar does it quite often. Again, we do not know the progression of the routes and Lamar is still young. We see receivers from other teame step in off the street and run routes properly, get open often, easily, make the catch. Yet who does that for the Ravens? How often do we see 3 receivers within five yards of each other? Why is it this offense can't run a freaking screen? Even a wide receiver screen other teams get 8 or more yards on, this team loses yards. No slants, which should work perfectly with this run threat, no come back routes on the outside with all of the speed we now have at wideout. Are they hiding these plays for the playoffs?

I would take what we see on an early Monday evening game with the same salt we do with these stupid Thursday games...... Same as we should do with the first 4-5 games of this year. With no camp, no preseason and missing practices & fears of covid, as actual preseason even though they count. This bye week could not have come at a better time as said above. Now, can they get things going? Sure, they say that they feel they are close, but words are just words until we put them into action. I do believe the team has used these 4,5 games as preseason as it were, working on just enough in game to win, I think this true for every team this year; what other choice did they have? However, as Papa said, history speaks volumes. One of the issues this team has had is penalties/discipline. That has been true for years, what, we expect Harbs to get that corrected now, especially the offensive penalties. The other major discipline issue was on defense, being out of position, not paying close attention, trying to do their own thing. That too has been an issue for the past few years, we thought it was "fixed" with Jefferson and Thomas jettisoned, maybe they have been and the defense allowing those ridiculous completions in the 2nd half was just being tired or simply looking ahead to the time off/ Pitt in two weeks.. Time will tell. By the end of November we will know all that we need to know about this team, will they be 9-1 5-5 or somewhere in between....

A very nice take on this 5-1 team, were talking about the say Browns if they were 5-1, I am sure most of you would agree as well. Now, since this is not the Browns, I am sure they not only can, but will "fix" what is clearly broke. They better because the next 5 games are deadly.

Well with this virus, even shutting the boarders down would not work. The incubation period is weeks not days, people can have no symptoms and still oass it on. Would lives haave been saved? Sure, how many? No way of honestly knowing. Back in March they saod half a million people would die by years end, it doesn't look like we will make that mark. But to brong this back on topic, sorry, as I said I just needed to vent, putting fans in the stands as some colleges are now doing, as some NFL teams plan to do in the next month is likely to cause this to flair up again.
-
No, the riots would have started sooner...
-
I hear ya spen, I just needed to vent... The misinformation comes from the media as well. Papa, people were outraged and not following protocols when this thing was bad, they screamed when we locked down. Imagine what would have happened if they shut things down in January, or February, before this got bad.
-
They locked down the country, mandated companies make products, medical, that were outside their norm. They advised us on how best to protect our selves. No, I am not a Trump supporter, and yes, they should have stopped the rhetoric, but what exactly more did you want them to do? We are getting a vaccine in about a year or less for this, which, if you know anything about how the medical works, you would know how incredible that is to have now. Meanwhile, the NFL has watched how MLB, NBA & NHL have handled this situation and witnessed how unusually contagious, long sitting symptoms this virus has and now, we are learning that some who get it have long lasting, irreparable health issues. Unlike the other sports, football cannot play double headers, cannot play 2 games in 5 days for normal health reasons. Now you add in this virus, and without the work outs a body needs to not only get in game shape, but to train the muscles, tendons etc you want them now to skip practices and play a Tusday night game and follow up with a Sunday game? The quality of play this year is terrible so far, it may improve as the season goes on, and as we are seeing, these pro athletes, are not sticking with the guidlines you & I are expected to follow, nor are they sticking with the guidelines the league has mandated. What is the league doing about it? Nothing, yet.

NFL shuts down Pats facility this am after another positive test. They should postpone their game Monday night, if not they will prove once and for all that player safety is NOT a concern
-
So, another Titan player has tested positive, total in that org is now what 22, 23. This after these highly paid players held their own private work out, against the "law" of the land and of the NFL.. Pats now have 2 players with covid, if we believe their numbers (who doesn't thonk they will cheat this system) odds are KC is bound to have some too as highly infectious as this thing is... How many games will they move, now they are talking about forfeits for breaking protocols.. But that raises another issue, players are not paid for games forfeited.... Maybe they can file for the extra unemployment of $600 per week... The media is all over the White House for their lack of protocals with covid, why they silent on the NFL and what little they are doing must be about money & popularity..
-
It should be interesting to see what they do about the next draft. If college ball is indeed cancelled for this year, even if they some how stupidly play in the spring, what happens to the draft? Players may rise based on last year's play, while many will fall because they lacked the chance to gain the experience, thus improve their play not having another season to showcase....

My prayers are with each & everyone of you. I know this world isn't easy right now, uncertainty, doubt, fear. But don't let those three control you, believe the three who are beside you, The Father, Son and their Holy Spirit to guide you, inspire you, empower you.

A report just came out stating that 21 of the 22 horses killed as a result of injury sustained at the track had pre-existing conditions known to the equestrians though they "did not grasp the significance of major pre-existing lessions". Then they should be fired, really, they didn't think a bone lesssion would lead to a break? Give me a freaking break.... https://www.pasadenastarnews.com/2020/03/10/no-illegal-medications-found-in-states-investigation-into-horse-deaths-at-santa-anita/
