Ravens vs Chargers MNF game thread (no Bills talk please)

[zow2]

Lamar’s receivers making elite TD catches for him tonight.  That is called helping out your QB

Absolutely the right call here.  Go up two scores.  Worst case, still lead by 7.

Right.

 

its an analytics game. Much more of a likelyhood of winning up 9 points vs the difference between 7 or 8

Since when did the td, commercial, kickoff and commercial come back?

 

They do it if the game is on track to end much sooner then they’d like.

Love going for two there

And Ravens fans always b*tch and moan about Lamar not having weapons yet every time I watch them his pass catchers are either running wide open or making contested catches in the endzone

This is the first season where I actually see Lamar throwing with anticipation, so he's definitely improved as a passer. It's his best passing season yet. But even still, most of his great plays are a dump offs with YAC, tossing up a contested ball, or throwing to someone wide open. That is why his turnovers are so low, he almost never throws into a tight window or where there is any chance of danger. Probably part good decision making, and part scheme. It just looks totally foreign compared to how other teams play it's hard to compare QB performance IMO.

The stupid thing was not handing it to Henry.

[Doc Brown]

Herbert should pry throw it forwards?  No?

He's the second best pure runner I've watched in the last 20 years 

 

Adrian Peterson, Derrick Henry, Nick chubb pre injury 

 

Chris Johnson gets a shout out for domination but he isn't Adrian Peterson or Derrick Henry

 

I remember watching the 2007 NFL draft convinced Peterson was going to fall to the Bills.  Another monster at the position.   Because he was in the NFC I feel like I missed out on him a bit.  If the Titans had used Henry more his first two years he would be right up there with AD in terms of all time backs.

 

Tomlinson is still my favorite back I had the pleasure of watching but Henry is way up there.

Say it ain’t so,Tre

He's definitely improved and when he is on he is a pretty good passer but there are times, even still this year where he goes through these can't hit the broad side of a barn halves and games.

Tre looked rough on that play. How has he played the rest of the game?

I screamed at my television when Minnesota drafted Adrian Peterson 

 

We were like two picks away! And we were absolutely taking him and took Marshawn who was good but didn't come into his own in Buffalo 

 

Adrian Peterson would have been 1300  yards out the gate

 

I think football comes an eras and earlier players pave the way for later guys 

 

LT is a masterpiece and one of the best three down running backs in NFL history... But he got to get to that point because the guys like Thurman Thomas 

 

Thurman was the original LT may have been the finished version.. both all time greats

Another week of Tre getting cooked...

[HappyDays]

Aw Tre. He's on roller skates trying to cut out there.

[Process]

What is that holding call

[Charles Romes]

It’s a testament to what a player Tre was that smart coaches still put him out there 

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Terrible holding call

[buffblue]

Quentin Johnston really sucks
