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

Yeah I mean there’s definitely some Lamar blame, he just always seems to be front and center blamed for it, and I would put him behind a few things of why they lost rather than what he did wrong with a domino effect.

But can’t argue with your statement at all.

I’m with you im team Lamar over here. At least his mistakes came in the first half where it was early enough to move on and still give your team a chance to win. He played phenomenal in the 2nd half

You do understand that there is no freedom of speech guarantee on a privately owned website, right?

I know I do.

Alright everyone it’s time to unite and root in the Ravens!

I needed them to win for a pool I was in....but I'm not that upset they went down.

 

[dtgold88]

Man. Lots of time left for him to turn it around.

But if the Ravens lose this game because Lamar sucks? And not because the Bills outscored them?

Not sure how he changes the narrative.

Might not...narrative rarely changes. Blame goes to who the fans (or even media) want to assign it and often hard to break.

I mean, Browns lose a playoff game because Flacco shits the bed (as does the D)? Don't recall what was said here, but in Browns' forums stefanski got the blame from most. Cannot say I ever recall Harbaugh being blamed for LJ losses in postseason (might be wrong, just don't recall). same people are blaming LJ and Goff for their teams' losses.

 

[dtgold88]

I really don’t want to hear about how Lamar can’t win the big games.

He did enough tonight.

agree....but you will.

 

[dtgold88]

Man, only three more football games left

4 if you count CFP I spose

This is so true and sucks.

Cannot wait for OSU game tonight and if we win will be thrilled.

But then it later sinks in cannot watch another football game where I care who wins for another 7+ months.

Maybe I was wrong @tlance

I was right about the coverage but if Bateman continues to run the route Lamar thinks then possibly doesn't end as an INT since he already won vs his man

 

[bksballer89]

I like this idea. Big 12 should consider the same

ACC will weigh changes to conference title game

ACC commissioner Jim Phillips said on Sunday the league will have conversations among coaches and athletic directors to ponder changes to its conference championship game format after a season in which two league teams made the College Football Playoff.

Yeah, that was what I thought I saw in the replay, but only watched it once.

Definitely think you had a good point about the safety coverage.

Probably a bit of a 50/50 ball that I am not sure you want if you have an offense as powerful as the Ravens.

Actually, looking at that view, Bateman ran to the open grass. Had Lamar thrown the ball there it is a completion.

Maybe Lamar read it wrong.

 

[dtgold88]

And more often, they win games with aggressive decisions instead of always kicking like old school coaches did.

Not how it works, though.....rip them the few times doesn't work..ignore the many it does.

Or how about just catch the second one if you are Andrews?

Either way, best case they are tied and giving the ball back to Josh with a minute and a half left. Does that make anyone (outside of Bills fans) feel comfortable?

also true...just saw someone say Andrews catching that we get to go to OT.

I was thinking exactly what you just said.

Yeah, that was going to be an L whether Andrews caught it or not.

I expect the Bills to score again like 85% or more in that situation.

 

[bksballer89]

lol horrible take and not the first one I saw today like every pass Lamar makes must be absolutely perfect. Making excuses for Andrews here is just another way to say you hate Lamar

AFC is just brutal.

Every year you going to have 3 future HOF QBs who don’t make it out.

I hate it. I've reread it multiple times and every time I come away with "this is dumb"

Hit him in a bad spot...his hands. lol

lol think it’s more of an way to get 2 teams in without too much drama
