I guess it couldn't hurt but Lamar has progressed so much in the last year after last year's loss that I am not sure he needs anyone. Even a lot of the veterans on the team praised his work effort and leadership. I think he's doing fine by himself. It was a tough loss and people are looking for reasons, I think it's a talent and injury issue, not a lack of leadership. Plus maybe not bring in a mentor charged with double homicide....

https://ftw.usatoday.com/2020/01/nfl-ravens-titans-lamar-jackson-film-analysis/amp?__twitter_impression=true Lamar played no where near as poorly as some think or like to pretend to think. He played better than anyone else on offense, granted that's not exactly a high bar. Also the 'he needs to know it's a team game' idiocy about Lamar is just a big dog whistle. If one of the whitest guys in the league Peyton, and one of the great sexual harrasers, played the exact game Lamar did - no one claims he's not a team player.

Sometimes teams improve as the year goes one, we know that, They played well and we did not.

Just answer yes, you're that kind of asshole.

It was a really great season, so much excitement and fun. Tough loss but we need to improve. You can't let one running back get 195 yards. That's probably the loss right there. And it's really hard to win with a terrible group of wideouts. Brown may be good one day, and he played well tonight, but besides him I'm not sure any are legit NFL players. No fear or respect from the defense and that affects the running game tremendously.

So is this where the assholes who predicted bad things post the 'i told you sos' because they are really sad human beings and they think that will impress others? Nope. Just acting like assholes.

Tick tock..... The clock it's moving slow

No telling how the Ravens will look in the playoffs but I don't expect any jitters or rust. They have been a very consistent team this season, especially since week 5. Not only did Lamar lead the league in TDs, his 66% completion percentage is awesome. Especially with our JV receivers. The excellent tight ends sure do help. I'll go Ravens 25.6 - Titans 14

Tennessee is a fine team and they had a good year. I think the Ravens are easily better though. Better at passing and better at running and better at defense. One never knows but I think the Ravens win by a TD or more. The Ravens have been very consistent over their streak, consistently playing well. When was the last time they really came close to losing? Some may think that's a negative, but to me it means they have been ready every week.

Pretty awesome weekend of football. 1-3 in my picks, there's a reason I don't gamble.

Fun game

The easy one to me is the Saints over Vikings. So watch me get that wrong. The Eagles over Seahawks. Mainly due to home field advantage. Now the tough ones Texans over Bills. I think it's going to be close. Pats over Titans. The Pats can trick their way to another big win this week, maybe for the last time

The Ravens are my favorite team so I get nervous before games I rarely get too upset after losses but the games are stressful

Me too! It's a fun nervous but a nervous nevertheless!

Oddly enough the Madden 20 sim of the entire season had the Ravens going to the Super Bowl......where they got destroyed by Dallas

Anyone is fine with me. Numerous times in various sports I've been happy about a match-up only to see it go horribly wrong. Any of the three work for me

Great, it seemed cold to me and the rain game last year was cold and it got old. I'm glad you had fun. The game was a good one! You saw some history!

Great game, excellent season. Who would have thought the rushing record would fall in 2019? @vmax was it fun or just cold and wet? I went to the rain game last season and don't want to repeat it soon

The Ravens and Peters have agreed on a 3 year 42 million dollar extension. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2868817-report-marcus-peters-ravens-agree-to-3-year-42m-contract-extension Good move!

I've always said he was the weak link.

All I know is that if anyone gets a cramp or false start penalty then coache's heads should roll. Tired of Harb's not having the team ready!

I agree, and if you want proof I reran the Coaching Simulator 2000 and it said the same thing. So that's proof.

I mostly agree, I might shuffle a few around. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/12/23/top-10-coaches-of-the-decade/

It's not exactly what I would do but I don't think there is any definite right way.

The game ball for Ozzie was cool.
