Ruptured his achilles again, likley done for 2025

It requires great disciplined play to defend, sort of like the wishbone and wing T once were. Tackles take the running back, ends take the qb, cb takes the pitch. The key on the pitch though is for the end to go diagonal at the qb, more so rush to the mesh point. Now, the teaching back in the day taught us to nail the qb each time he was threatening to pitch or run, this way he would pitch the ball sooner or just hand it off regardless if it was the right read. But ya can't do that any more. So you just have to run diagonally at the mesh point, this makes it harder for him to decide to keep it or hand it off. It also gives the end the best chance to tackle both the qb and runningback.

& we see what happens to the fake PSU once again when they face a top 10 team at full strength.

I expect to see a lot of Fields, taking advantage of his running, much as the Ravens do with Lamar, qb draws, zone reads.

Bone bruises are tough. So long as they don't turn the ball over they should be fine

Flowers ruled out for the game

The move, his $12 mil salary was reduced to $2.1 mil, creating $9.9 mil in cap space now, instead of having to wait until June 1. This will create $6.7 mil in dead cap money for the next 2 years however. Big move by Williams to help the team out. All per Jason LaConfor

They sat Allen after one hand-off to keep his streak of consecutive games played going

"Best be on your best behavior"

Man does he look like a future Hall of famer

Give up a 1st, 2nd, & 6th, sign Hill to a 4 year, $120 mil, ($25 mil signing bonus) then 2 years later, to keep him happy, for an additional 3 years, $90 mil, $65 mil guaranteed, plus his previous contract guarantees which gives him $106.5 mil guaranteed, and less than, or maybe to the day, 5 months later he says, (right after a disappointing game and season ends) that he wants out of Miami. Wow, mkay, sure thing buddy. He is no AB in attitude, who has mental illness, he is without a doubt and incredibly fast wide out with shimmy, decent, not great hands, but dependable. I have to admit, having him in Bmore would be tantalizing, but then Lamar is not great with deep, deep passes and then of course there is the cap hit. Miami would incur a $27 mil cap hit and carry $55 mil in dead money if cut or released this year. However, there may be, as is being reported, language in his contract that would allow the Phins to quash any remaining guaranteed money What a mess this could be

The Giants, in their 2nd super bowl, were the only team in history to go to and win a Super bowl with starters who missed a combined 50 games or more if memory serves me right. So the odds are clearly against the Lions with all of those injuries. Cambell has shown how excellent a coach he is.

Well, we shall see, he does seem different this year, taking the running lanes when the pocket opens up. Taking the check downs when nothing is open down field. If Flowers can't go, hopefully Tez gets his chance, with his size and speed he will open up the middle for Andrews and Likely. I would love to see them put Humphries on Pickens all game, he is having a great year, looks like his old self. He is a great trash talker so he might even be able to bait Pickens into losing his cool.

It sure looked like it. I know Romo mentioned at least one guy who was signed off the street 3 days prior and starting at linebacker

Denver Vs Buffalo is going to be an interesting game. The Bills defense is very suspect because of injuries, Nix can run and when he gets hot, look out. Would be nice if Denver won.

I loved the helmets with the full face Raven they used a few times. Get those in metallic, wow... The talking heads all say Mini and Detroit are the best teams, well, they certainly looked like the same old teams last night.

Their line is still suspect. The Ravens front four has been collapsing pockets all season. If they do that again, it should mitigate Pickens. But rest assured, they will target Stephens and Harrison/Board who don't take proper drops to stop those seam passes to the tightends. Remember, Pit only won the first game in the series because the Ravens turned the ball over and penalties. Just like the last game, if the Ravens can relax and just play mostly mistake free football, they will win. This team, if you listen to the post game interviews, the lockeroom speeches after the win against the Browns, is truly focussed, determined to not let complacency, arrogance, dare I say stupidity stop them from their next goal: win the AFC.

Game is Saturday at 8 eastern

What more can we say that has not been said: these two teams meet once again for the rubber match. Pit is on a 4 game bender while the Ravens have won 4 in a row in blowout style. The goal for the Ravens this year has been more than just winning it all, it has been about playing their best all game every game. This has not always been the case this year, of the game they lost, they gave them away with costly turnovers and ill timed penalties. In short, teams didn't really beat them, they beat them selves. The knock on Lamar has been not just his playoff record, 2-4, but his erratic play. Not taking what the defense gives him, short passes or timely runs when lanes open, not taking care of the ball, I'll advised throws that get intercepted, or the fumbles. So a familiar foe, one that had his number in the regular season until a complete domination just two weeks ago seemed to quell the questions about big game performances. So it is only fitting that he face the same demon and banish it to start the run to the Silver Betty. The defense too will be tested once again, have they truly improved from the pourus unit that plagued this team at times this year? Does the team have the discipline it will take to win in the post season? So, who ya got?

And papa would love nothing better With the Chargers in the lead, it is looking more and more like a rubber match with Pit

Man, it ain't over, but 31-0, yeah, buh bye Cinci!

So Josh handed off once then sat out so, Lamar 316/474(66.67%) • 4,172 passing yards • 41 passing TDs • 4 INTs • 915 rushing yards • 4 rushing TDs Allen 307 of 483 (63.6 %) 3,731 passing 28 yds 6 ints 531 yards rushing 12 tds Any questions? Both teams won their respective divisions, 1 win separates, as of now before the end of the Joshless Bills vs Pats game, the two teams with Lamar out playing Josh head to head in a blow out win. Both players set league records, all time records.

He was good when he had easy throws, when he had time to throw. When the pocket gets squeezed and his 1st read is covered, he panics and throws off target. That is a big reason why Denver let him go.

True, but come on papa, no team is perfect. I admit to doubting throughout the season, especially the defense, which, with Stephens and Harrison/Simpson/Board at backer, still worry me. But 4k +passing yards, 900+ rushing yards, 40+ touchdowns with ONLY 4 picks, never, Never ever been done before in the league and likely will never be done again. Lamar has shown he is in the top rank of qbs. As a team to have 4k passing yards and 1900+ rushing yards, never, ever been done before. This offense has shown that it is dangerous Yes, it means very little if they don't win it all. But you know, to win it all it take a little "luck", staying healthy, getting the ball to bounce the right way. But if this front four can continue to squeeze the pocket as they have done most all season, get timely sacks, it may cover up the issues at one corner and one inside backer. Clearly when this team is focussed and playing loose, they can beat anyone.
