Nobody really digs into it much cuz they usually win anyway but Andy Reid does some very bizarre stuff at times 😂. They can’t even run on a light box I can’t imagine why that was the call there

Elliot had 50+ yard issues after making a 59 yarder against us in the rain huh hah

That’s how it looked to me never got a replay though

Absolutely was lol

Now that the dust has settled a bit as much as it sucks and was a big failure I don’t think 13 seconds was the crazy impossible sequence that it gets hyped up as. The 3 timeouts def made it a lot more possible. The biggest part of the failure was giving up a 49 yard attempt on that blown Kelce coverage over limiting them to like a 60+ yard prayer Especially after we basically pulled off another 13 seconds-level sequence against the ravens ( 25 seconds no timeouts) We had one against the lions on thanksgiving a few years back too where it was 23 seconds and 3 timeouts but we only needed 7 seconds to get in fg range hypothetical 12-13 seconds for the ravens and no timeouts there’s no shot they get in fg range though def agree. At least on our 7 second to get in fg range play we had the threat of timeouts makin them cover the whole field.. I was just curious if people still feel strongly about how difficult 13 seconds was 😂

Seemed to be the kind of plays the ravens were leaving open most of the game though tbh. Felt like more execution issues early on offense to me than anything schematic…rewatching the game a couple times a lot more of those quick at/around the LOS plays either worked or should’ve worked than I initially thought. The ravens just shut a lot of them down with insane tackling early which seemed to gas them out down the stretch I think the book on Josh is to force him to take that underneath stuff and hope he gets as impatient as his fans do haha.. if the ravens weren’t as good as they were early against the short yardage runs early I think we would’ve scored 50+

I love Lamar but this seems to be a growing theme…he’s gotta be making plays late when teams are loading up to stop Henry from icing the game and it seems not super uncommon that he doesn’t It feels like there’s just so much variability in how defenses play different qbs that these metrics are close to worthless.. if a team plays a lot of over the top pass coverage and makes you nickel and dime them down the field obviously you’re gonna do it but your advanced metrics take a hit for yards per attempt over a season long sample size maybe comparing dudes using qbr and such matters but for a single game comparison it just doesn’t work

I feel like the ravens offense was a much taller order to stop this time…we like to play a lot of man against them so the motions and such don’t cause personnel mismatches in the running game. Zay flowers and Deandre Hopkins are way harder to man up than anyone they had in the playoff game and maybe Hairston over strong would’ve made a big difference there too. when you’re manning everyone up with a single high safety or doing some cover 0 stuff if Henry breaks the second level he’s gone so it’s very boom or bust. Boom or bust against the ravens is probably fine though as you’d prefer a quick score to them picking up 5 yards a carry and just killing all the clock. People are saying it’s same old mcd based on the result but it really is kinda the opposite philosophy than what we normally see from him against other teams imo lol i know people are seein fields/hall as a ravens lite but I think the defensive approach is gonna be entirely different. Against someone like fields you want to make him grind out drives packers really are good but it’s kinda under the radar because two of the teams in their division were insanely good last year…they had 11 wins last year despite losing every close division game. One of them Jordan love got knocked out of. I think the Vikings and lions got worse so it’ll probably be a little more clear the packers are good this time

I feel like every big enough city where it’s logistically possible is just angling for hosting a Super Bowl and that’s the real reason we’re seeing so much of this. i just happened to be in Cleveland this year at the time Huntington bank field hosted a huge concert and it was an absolute sh*tshow haha so I wonder if any of these smaller cities will even get to host even with the fancy indoor stadium

That specific bishop play was snap trickery on the ravens part that caused that mess…it was actually really crafty and I’m glad Harbaugh didn’t save it for some huge play in the playoffs lol. Kinda odd to drop that one in a game where you have no reason to believe you won’t win anyway they got up to the line and just instantly silently snapped it and the bills got caught in the disguised look…I’m sure bishop would’ve creeped down way closer to the LOS otherwise.. seems like we were not ready for a few quick snaps that night

Yea I’m all for people preferring indoor/retractable roof on a personal comfort level but these business and strategy reasons I’ve seen people come up with for indoor football are a little ridiculous in my opinion

I feel like busts outside of the first half of round 1 are shockingly common lol chiefs drafted a first round DE two drafts ago that just doesn’t ever play and most people probably haven’t even heard of Way way too early to know for sure but I thought Nate Wiggins looked pretty bad in pass coverage against an ok group of WRs Sunday night. Ravens and chiefs are two of the best front offices in the business…if they’re missing on round 1 picks everyone is 35 snaps I think it was like 70%

The more I rewatch our game the only thing that felt lucky to me was the tipped td the Henry fumble was nice but there was time to get a regular stop anyway so idk how necessary it was.. And in this alternate universe where that happens, maybe we convert on the 2 pointer Jets looked pretty solid though I’m gonna watch that whole game I was switchin back and forth between a bunch of different games Sunday

It’s getting tougher to find any faults at all…Lamar has kinda been ascending the same way it’s awesome to see both those guys prove everyone wrong about everything haha

Yea I’m pretty sure it was built in the 2000s Retractable is such a pet peeve of mine haha it feels like a marketing ploy. The roofs are hardly ever open

Oh I wasn’t trying to erase it it’s just the precursor to a really interesting convo about the average time any individual mvp/coach takes between superbowls which probably goes against the point the stat looks like it’s making. Also it feels a little bit cheesy to not include mvp RBs especially 90s-early 2000s ones and then you get guys that win mvp and appear in superbowls but lose like Dan Marino and cam newton not included (why does losing superbowls matter?) and clearly mvp caliber players that make the superbowl and lose like Joe burrow and Jim Kelly (again why does losing superbowls matter) then you’ve got mvp caliber guys that win 1 Super Bowl over long careers like Aaron Rodgers,Matt Ryan,Matt Stafford, Russell Wilson etc eventually considering all that you’ve got a stat that may be ‘true’ but doesn’t paint an accurate picture. MVP caliber players/coaches don’t bring home Superbowls over 4-5-6-7 etc year spans extremely often. I’ve gotta do some digging on this but I think the only coach in nfl history that averages a superbowl every 5 years or better is bill belichick and even he had a 10 year gap

I really don’t even completely understand the ‘but this massive football venue can be used year round with a roof’ argument…there’s only like three months that would even apply to and when you’re a pretty small market you’re not even getting a lot of big concerts and such in the first place. I’m all for people personally preferring domes but it really feels like a ploy to try to bring a Super Bowl to a non-traditional area when teams decide to build one. Buffalo could never logistically support a Super Bowl anyway

I’m not sure about the methodology you’ve chosen here. Why are you treating all 3 of them as one single entity basically? For example with the jets, Garrett Wilson is objectively better than all 3, but every one of Coleman/shakir/palmer is better than every other jets wr…that would be advantage bills to most reasonable people and that logic applies to many other teams here were you trying to just compare who has the best wr1? That’s really all you’re doing by looking it like that

That’s an interesting one…the rams took off towards the end of the season. They won 5 in a row then benched starters or it coulda been 6 then ended up taking the eagles down to the wire in the divisional. Not sure if that bills rams game qualifies as a trap game The jags game 100% is a great example though for sure 😂. That was awful

That was an odd game…pretty sure we held them to 14 until late in the third. Mightve been a case of us goin a bit vanilla too early. We were up like 35-14 or something tail end of the 3rd

I would love to know the percentage of games that people said have the makings of a letdown game actually becoming a letdown game 😂. Feels like it gets said every time we play someone bad and it hardly ever happens I think they will trend upwards eventually (unfortunately) but it’s probably gonna take them awhile to get in a groove with the new defensive scheme. It’s probably good we got the road game early

How often do teams open retractable roofs? I feel like every time I see Lucas oil it’s closed lol

I think they don’t handle adversity well because things are usually way too easy for them lol when games tighten up and a few Henry runs start getting stuffed they seem to panic. They just don’t feel like they have the clutch gene

Ravens fans have been saying awuzie looked pretty good but I thought him and Alexander were both varying degrees of bad. For a team so meticulously well built everywhere else I just don’t understand why they keep trying to plug in washed up veterans on 1 year deals at outside cb

It’s the worthy trade clouding judgement…with worthy out for awhile Keon is gonna have a chance to catch him in games played and will likely pass him statistically once their games played even out. And that’s even with Keon falling off pretty hard post injury. From the nfl analyst narrative about that trade though you’d never know Keon has been putting up numbers when healthy lol he’s actually been more of a big splash play type player than even worthy has ironically enough…his yards per reception numbers are very high... has to be one of the most ‘twisting the narrative for a good storyline’ type things I’ve witnessed…not trying to say one guy is better than the other but they’re both gonna be good at what they do They must’ve picked him for the obligatory ‘we must call one penalty on the dbs to keep them somewhat honest’ because they knew he was too nice to complain lol
