I could not agree more, his numbers were unreal.
-
Diggs left because he wasn't getting the ball enough, and, ready, because when he was open, Josh's pass would bother be too far off the mark for him to catch or, not be thrown the ball at all. It was because of this that he had blow ups on the sidelines, in practice, in the lockerroom. Thus, they got rid of him. Davis was at best a 45% completion, he dropped more passes than he caught and, he never could run a route a properly, 2 reasons they chose not to pay him. And why Jax is the only team that wanted to pay him. Look, I really like Josh, wouldn't mind him being the Ravens qb, he and Lamar are pretty interchangeable so to speak. But he is not clearly the mvp, and the big jump he made from year one to year two in reading defense and completion % is very admirable and it is the same jump Lamar has made the past two years. Lamar won MVP, let us be honest, because of his legs, then because of his legs and the Ravens record last year. This year, Lamar is doing something that has never been done before at this high of level BOTH running and more importantly, throwing. To finish the year with a rating 120 or above? You know how I feel about qbr and such ratings how bunk I think they are. However, if they, the talking heads are going to use them then fine, so too will I. It is rareified air what Lamar is doing, not even Josh Allen is up there with him, Peyton, Aaron and Lamar, the only 3, if Lamar finishes 120 or better and he should.

More with less? Are you, not just you, but the talking heads who have said that, this year, nutz? Shakir is every bit as good as Flowers, just watch him, you will see. Kincaid is a very underrated tight end. Cook, he may be near the end of his career, but is still excellent. Cooper, Alexander, Samuel, all very good at getting open against zone, which Allen usually faces because he is a runner as well as a passer. So, because Lamar won it last year but maybe shouldn't have, means he should not win it this year? While dropped passes are a meh stat, for this purpose, both teams are near the bottom on the league in that category, with the Ravens having slightly more 24 to 19, than the Bills. I would say the receivers are pretty equal.

To be fair, he had Queen in his face (leaping up) and the first read was in fact Bateman, as to why he failed to see Flowers wide open in the left endzone. Lamar has explained this, he thought they were in man, Bateman thought zone. Simple, every qb and wr have had this from time time. I've seen game where Allen has missed wide open wrs in the end zone, by miss i mean, completely saw them and threw it far away from them

I know, he won the last 2, he doesn't care about this award so much as he does about winning the Super Bowl, & MVP of that game. A few weeks ago the talking heads were saying it was, the voting, over, that Josh Allen had it wrapped up after his four games and did something no other quarterback had done in the NFL, passing wise, while Lamar was on a bye... Especially since his team was now going to win their division and possibly be the 1 seed. Welp, after a couple of weeks have now passed, Josh had an off game, Lamar did Lamar things and now, he has his team in position to win their division and have a home playoff game. Meanwhile the Cheifs, not the Bills will be the 1 seed. So now that their teams are even, okay, the Bills are 12-3, Ravens 11-5, Lamar holds the tie breaker having out played Josh when their teams met in week 4, Josh throwing for only 180 yards on 16 of 29 passing 0 tds and 0 picks. 21 yards rushing on 5 carries. While Lamar had 2 tds on 13 of 18 passing for 156 yards, as the Ravens won 35-10... but I digress Their numbers now? Allen 3,549 yards passing, 7.8 yards per attempt, 26 tds, 6 picks for 101.2 qb rating with 514 yards rushing and 11 rushing tds Lamar 3,955 yards passing, 8.9 yards per pass (leads the league) 39 tds to 4 picks (leads the league) for a league pending 121.6 qbr with 852 yards rushing( leads the league) and 4 rushing tds. So any way you look at the numbers Lamar clearly has Josh beat. But the talking heads are looking for any reason to keep Lamar from his three-peat, and I'm okay with that.

Could be papa, but the Pit game may have shown us something. They, Lamar included, just let it all out, played more relaxed, trusted one another more, the result? The "ball bounced their way", turnovers were avoided or collected when usually the other team got those breaks. Lamar got on point, ran when given the chance, connected when he had or made just enough time. If they play that way, and everything we have seen the past number of games shows us they can/will, then I like their chances. Shoot, they destroyed Buffalo, one toe away from beating the Cheifs. Should have beaten the Iggles, seem to have learned from their mistakes. Didn't play down to the Giants, werent tight against Pit, didn't lean on their big victory over Pit and have a let down against Houston. Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket
-
Yeah they have no real answer for Stephens and his issues, either a big pass play or a penalty. The Bills and Cheifs will focus on him and attack him. Yikes

What worries me most is the defense, the pass defense to be exact. They haven't really played a very good offense, pass offense since the "change". Granted, a large part of the pass defense issues was against one team, the Bengals, almost 900 yards in one month. (392+428=820) That really skews the numbers. So, is it really fixed or has it just been a tale of bad passing offenses? Early in the season the ball bounced away from the Ravens, while this last part, wow, the Ravens fumble and recover their own. Their opponents fumble now they recover them. Even Tucker is nailing 58 yard field goals with ease, dead center, after not being able to make an extra point. It has been a crazy season, so why not us?

Went 3-0 Out scored their opponents 100-33, Took control of the AFC North Clinched a playoff spot Oh, and perhaps the biggest things, they are healthy, as healthy as they have been all year. https://youtu.be/al3wEbspr7w?si=ACKRVD_HYmXn4fcg

2 min warning, 2 pts away from being a shutout, would have been just the 2nd one this year.
-
The only ones left in the game are either trying to reach bonuses or, trying to get game tape to earn a check next seasons
-
Deep shot to Walker,, can't make the Willie Mays catch
-
Still not sure what so many see in Mitchell, he gets tackled so easily
-
AAaaaa Anthony! Way to go! You know you are old of you remember that commercial of the mom hanging out a window yelling for her son to come home to eat
-
After a start to the season like this team had, even through the midway point, who would have thought this team is just 1 win away from winning the division!?!!!!
-
Finally they send Lamar and Henry to the showers
-
11:25 left in the game
-
143 for Henry and counting Mitchell in, someone many have waited to see Back to Henry 3rd and 10 is a wide receiver screen to Wallace for no gain
-
Squid games! Guess I know what I'm doing tomorrow
-
4th quarter yeah, red bull will give you wings, angle wings with an early grave
-
Humph, Lamar and Henry still in, okay then
-
Bad spot i grant you, but up 29 pts i would not think it prudent to throw the challenge flag
-
Madds gets a shield string sack
-
Stephens beat like a drum because of an illegal pick
