NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

[Think McFly Think]

I blame the coaches not allowing Derrick Henry to be involved a lot more than I blame Lamar Jackson.

Yep I think this is what put them in the position to lose the most.

The Andrews 2pt drop was huge too obviously and the throw was a bit awkward but it was around his torso and it was in his hands.

You get paid to make catches around the torso.

Oh he deserves blame on the fumble. Thats the game.

And that awful interception

I love all the Dodgers fans clear lack of bias on this issue lol.

If you're not going to institute a salary cap, then there is no reason to cry poor.

From X:

Dodgers sign player because they offered the most money: sport is broken,
Dodgers sign a player when they don’t offer the most money because of the quality organization and winning environment they’ve built: sport is broken

He was on the sidelines more than he was on the field.

The one drive they featured him, they scored easily.

It’s been like that most of the year when they were behind

It was all about the turnovers and drops. Ravens never punted and were moving the ball more or less at will. They have nobody to blame but themselves.

Yes, because the non-Dodgers fans are so unbiased. lol

 

[bksballer89]

People will find a way to blame Lamar no matter what lol

The last drive is one thing.

They didn’t use him in the first half.

He got like 75% of his yards in that 1 3rd quarter drive

Exactly. Allen Iverson is the greatest little player of all time. We know by watching him. Not by counting the wins of the players around him.

Does Curry count as a “little player”? Iverson was 6’0”, Curry is 6’3”

 

[tlance]

And that awful interception

That one looked like he expected the receiver to run a different route.

Not sure whose fault that was.

Receiver clearly wasn’t where he threw the ball.

 

[shopson67]

Just kick both extra points, idiot.

These teams all across the league fuck this up so often.

Irony? Eagles whiffed on two PATs which came pretty close to biting them in the ass even with 3 huge running plays for TDs.

I'm amazed the Rams were still in the game despite the awful run defense (again vs the Eagles) giving up those monster plays and the Kyren and Stafford fumbles. To be on the 20 yard line with sufficient time left to try for the winning TD is unbelievable given the previous errors. Eagles stood their ground and got the stop to their credit. Could that have been roughing the passer on the final play? Maybe, but no guarantee the Eagles don't still stuff them ultimately.

Rams desperately need to work on that run D, whether that's a box safety, linebackers, or a big NT (or all of the above). The flexibility to go to a traditional set with an extra run-stuffing linebacker instead of a DB hybrid is a necessity at minimum.

They were talking about that on Dan Patrick just a little bit ago. Dude rushed for 1900 yards and you're not going to use him? They get there in large part because of Derrick Henry and Lamar Jacksons legs...but suddenly want to put their playoff hopes on Lamar's arm?

It isn’t even about the number of carries.

He was on the sidelines.

Use him in play action. Defenses are terrified of Henry.

I agree but even if the wr ran the right route, it’s still a terrible read. Bills were in man with the safety over the top so he is throwing that ball in double coverage if the wr ran the correct route. A ball that should have never been thrown no matter what

That is probably fair

Yep...DP compared it to the Seahawks not giving Beast Mode the ball with the Super Bowl on the line. At least the Seahawks had him on the field. lol

And that awful interception

I think the interception was a mixup with the intended receiver but I haven’t seen anything on that.

Here is the thing, Josh Allen didn’t make those mistakes this time, and they won.

Hard to win games in the playoffs when you lose the turnover battle
