I was about to hit send on Keon having another Gabe Davis plus play with finding a viable hole that Gabe struggled with but then he lost us the game possibly….

Brown/torrence with cook or Allen behind them is the only spot we can out match them physically with any regularity

Maybe not waiting on 4th but nice to see them push the ball and get DPI downfield

should put that on a t shirt. Maybe a billboard.

Smaller and slower

That blitz commentary is just so depressing to hear

I talked smack but that was a tremendous pair of plays

We are blessed to be in such a terrible division.

Ready to kneel at the 35 instead of pressing for points?

this. i don’t doubt we win a dozen games but this is the same team, same organization…. We will need great luck to break through despite having perhaps the greatest qb in the history of the league.

All we have is Brady misdirection. We can’t go around them or through them… just hoping scheme tricks them.

They should call a run to Derrick Henry here

I’ll give Keon credit- that was much friendly than Gabe Davis in that role. Found a hole and gave a good target

That play was Gilliam, Ty Johnson, and a 6th lineman? who was at wr? what a package

This is always a bad matchup… Baltimore is both bigger and faster pretty consistently. The biggest opportunity is Josh playing perfect and Lamar making mistakes…. But otherwise very hard to win when you can’t beat them to a spot or knock them off the spot

yup- linebacker got washed, Rapp was way outside and bishop got to take Henry 1-1 in the open field with no support. really rough ask for bishop

Rapp seemed to way over pursue on that run too

The young Kelly didn’t get his Canadian logos?

The Steelers were better with fields than Wilson last year. He was 4-2

I hope they win 6 games a year off his guts and guile and can never get the right qb.

man…. I thought this would be the issue mid season once any adversity started. To be this checked out week 1 is remarkable

being a smaller and agile guy, he likely avoids more direct hits too. some balance that a guy like Keon is probably easier to hit squarely, even if he absorbs hits a little better.

it’s the proverbial qb under 6’2, OT with short arms, etc… it’s not impossible to do but there’s a reason that despite fast 170 lbs guys being a more common body type, there’s more fast 210 lbs guys at wr in the nfl that said, it’s not a deal breaker either and it’s silly to think he’s going to wilt every time he’s touched and can’t do things to minimize the biggest hits

3) travel conditions continue to improve and be optimized. When to move the team, how to manage being away, things they bring, etc… is all much more data driven than dollar driven 4) teams have learned ways to better deal with noise. 5) visiting team conditions are much improved since the 1970s. They might not be quite as nice as home facilities but they aren’t using the janitors chemical closet as the visiting locker room, with the heat turned off id be curious how the data skews as I bet the 70-80s was much harder travel than 2020. What’s Allen excluding say the chiefs, and his rookie season?

would it be more upsetting to lose to the chiefs again, or have the chiefs fall and the chargers win? I don’t know. I’m just tired of losing and know whoever we play in late January would be very good and that’s been a problem. the teams coming out of the west all have something in common- coaches that got to the Super Bowl. Likewise, the ravens. it’s a tough road and the chiefs falling doesn’t mean it’s much easier honestly, week 1 divisional games can be wild. I wouldn’t bet on any of them.
