Ravens/Texans, Christmas Day Game 2 (no Bills talk please)

[stuvian]

Houston was just softening up the Ravens for the first round. That or Demeco Ryans has skin for Lamar getting the mvp

Lamar shrinks in the moment. Saying "We'll see" doesn't change the facts, only makes you look clueless.

 

Reminds me of when Peyton Manning lost in the playoffs a lot early in his career and then never won the Superbowl.... oh wait

But seeing the same thing you have already seen 6 times will.

 

When someone's most memorable play in the playoffs is a 101 yard pick 6, that says all you need to know about how they perform once they get there.

I guess I'm still clueless! Still dont mean squat in January, "we will see!"

Peyton Manning had far better numbers than Lamar does...Lamar is literlly not even in the top 50 for career passer rating in the playoffs.

 

Do you know how bad you have to be not to be in the top 50?

Wow, two pieces of coal for Christmas from the NFL. Ho Hum. I can’t think the ratings were anything special. 

[stuvian]

Lamar has as many playoff wins as Daniel Jones and Trevor Lawrence

Manning won the Superbowl in year 9. He was a 2 time MVP and a 3-6 postseason record. Lamar is in Year 7 and is a 2 time MVP with a 2-4 record. 

 

*throwing out their rookie years. Manning averaged 31 TDs a season and Lamar 26.5 (10 less games). 46 picks for Lamar 92 for Manning.  In 6 season Manning has 5k more throwing yardage (again with 10 more games played) but we aren't even going to bring up Lamar's rushing stats.

It's a novelty having Nfl on Xmas but the NBA games are better quality and more meaningful

Not going to lie: the best thing about this game was that it ended

There are multiple in this thread from last season calling for Slowick

 

 

Okay fair enough. It's always been Ben Johnson for me because he's had several seasons of proven success. I remember being intrigued by Slowik because of what he did in year one but you always want to see a repeat season before elevating someone.

Nobody is talking about regular season, we are talking about the playoffs.

 

Lamar shrinks like a cockroach under the lights in the playoffs while other QBs we won't name turn into Superman.

Really? Has he ever thrown a pick six returned for 100 yards in the playoffs?

 

oh …..wait….

Guys don't be dissapointed, there's a barn burner game tommorow night. Seahawks and Bears 😉

Might turn out to be a better game than the two today …not a high bar to get over

Did you see Detroit's Defense?

 

Do you see how poor the team chemistry is and their passing offense is with the Eagles?

Ummm... their passing Offense is perfectly fine. They haven't lost with Hurts since September

[Jeffbigalls]

Very Rare to see a team only Score 2 points in an NFL game

Perfectly fine??? Whaa???

 

"Sunday's 22-16 victory over the Panthers, a team that came into Week 14 at just 3-9, highlighted a weakness for Philadelphia lately: its passing game. Jalen Hurts threw for just 108 yards, and at times, there was a clear disconnect in the team's offense."

 

THE PANTHERS DEFENSE.

They played as well as anybody in football the first half of the year. They aren’t playing well right now. I don’t think they played well based on luck or being overrated so no, I don’t agree with you. They’re extremely physical and can destroy QB play when they’re on. But sure, it certainly didn’t look that way the last few weeks and I never believed they were that big of a threat in the playoffs. But that was more based on Stroud. 

I’m usually wrong so I don’t get a chance to take a victory lap but I was pretty spot on when it came to Houston.  This is a team that was considered to be a AFC contender and some regarded their QB among the top 5 best in the NFL 🤣🤣🤣

 

Despite their record - due mostly to playing in the worst conference in the AFC - they were never serious.   Whenever they had to show they were a great team they pupped the bed.   

 

Their best win was Week 4 against Buffalo and took some bad play calling and a 59 yard FG to win that game.  Also Josh and the offense was severely hindered by his receivers.   Aside from that you have the win against 7-8 Miami.  
 

Countless bad performances this season against Minnesota, Detroit, NYJ, TEN, KC and now BAL.  
 

They had some tough injuries on offense with Collins, Diggs, and Dell all out at different times.  Every team has injuries.  It sucks but not bad enough to get spanked 31-2 in a “playoff” atmosphere.  
 

Houston might be the 4th seed but they are probably the weakest team in the playoffs and are poorly coached…and yes horrendously overrated.

Bobby Slowik, DeMeco Ryans, and CJ Stroud.

 

Three most overrated players on the Texans and in the NFL

Or Ryans just plain sucks as a head coach?

Watching that game I realized how bad the Bills played in Houston. I knew we could have beat Baltimore if we did not try that dumb truck play but I felt we were lucky to be tied with Houston. Now I know we had our worst game that day by a good amount.
