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

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

The ravens are so overrated it’s sickening. And physical team that can stop the run and make Lamar pass, shuts them down. It’s easier to say that then it is to do that but as long as Lamar doesn’t get you on skates with his legs, he’s just not that good

Okay let’s see how tough Herbert is here

How thick are them glasses ?

The Chargers look good to me.

Herbert looks reinvigorated, their O-line has some pop in the pads, and their defense is a wagon.

Jim Harbaugh is a very good coach and a culture setter. I don't like him -- I think he's an arrogant jerk. But I can't deny he's a good coach. Just wins everywhere he goes.

I don't particularly love the idea of seeing these Chargers in the playoffs. Fierce defense and Greg Roman running scheme = tough out in cold January weather. 

If they beat KC I'll become a believer.  They would have lost to Cincy if the Cincy kicker could make a kick.

You have to be tough to be a QB in this league.  I'm not sure if he's the toughest ever though.  LOL.

Greg Roman has taken a lot of grief and some of that is well earned. He is, however, an excellent run scheme designer

How do we make sure we don’t face either of these teams in the playoffs?

Any team will play other good teams in the playoffs. No way to avoid it.

Chargers can’t catch at all.

[Doc Brown]

Nice job by Dicker the kicker playing the wind there.

[DapperCam]

Dicker the kicker? Really?

Meh. They have a lack of skill position talent which creates a pretty hard ceiling. If you can score 24+ against them you're probably fine.

True on both counts.

 

Jim Harbaugh was pretty tough, even if he did break his hand punching Kelly.  Always struck me as a guy who got the very most out of his physical talents.  There were probably hundreds of guys his age who had better measurables growing up, but didn’t go as far as he did, and it was easy to see why.

 

Herbert isn’t as tough as Harbaugh was, let alone a bunch of others I could name just from Harbaugh’s era.

They haven’t allowed more than 7 in the first half all year. Scoring 24 feels like the hard part tbh

Toughness used to almost be the deciding factor in a quarterback's career 

 

It becomes less and less of a trait the more quarterbacks are protected honestly though 

 

They still have to be tough but not 1985 tough

Henry is a beast.

There are two possible occupations with a name like that. Looks like Cameron dodged a bullet. 
 

 

That was fantastic coverage.

Could be worse, he could have been named Dickee.

[BRH]

Looks like the Ravens just remembered who really makes their offense go.

[PonyBoy]

That seemed like interference on the safety.
