I noticed yesterday Cleveland getting into the celebrations. Really surprised me, as I think of him as pretty chill, "whatever, I'll just eat a squirrel." Love that he's that excited.

I just read John Breech's grades for the Ravens (yes, I'm an idiot). The moron has the gall to say Jackson was inaccurate in the game. Clearly, these monkeys just look at the stat sheet and don't actually watch these games and understand context in terms of all the dropped catches, timely throw aways and such. I have never seen Lamar be more accurate and on the money with good decision making (except that prayer he threw up to Sammy that was intercepted). These morons never cease to amaze me.

And speaking of Cleveland, I don't know what the rules are, but Tucker should get his jersey number: 66.

Ok, that game was almost unbearable to watch. Ravens offense in the first half had some good moments, but threw it away with the drops and other strange miscues. Detroit had some ofensive moments in the 2nd half. The rest, was two really underperforming teams trying their hardest to lose
It was really parodical in many ways, such as
* The lateral that wasn't
* The Duvernay fumble that wasn't
* Detroit hardcounting themselves into false starts. Not once, but twice
* The overruled touchdown when the broadcast shows his shin as down
* Everything about the last drive: the two sacks, the 4th and 19, not getting out of bounds on 4th and 19, the missed delay of game, and of course the crossbar 66 yarder bouncing in
* Detroit at -2 yards passing after 27 minutes and still almost managing a win at the end
Nice to have a win, but it felt like neither team deserved a win out of that. Everyone else has already said it, but why isn't Williams getting more touches? It's not like the other RBs have shined.

I think he is in the doghouse for that fumble against the Chiefs.
Makes no sense to me since he's looked the best out of the 3
because he also has not shined, has put the ball on the ground too
and generally the running game has not been working outside of Lamar - none of the RBs got much play yesterday - it wasn't just about Williams it was about the running game in general not going well
and why put the ball in the hands of williams when we could put it in the hands of lamar or hollywood or andrews or watkins who're far more dynamic athletes and threats
People are gonna beat this Ty'Son drum for awhile I see. He's shown some good things but also some bad things. He's not the savior many are making him out to be. Not sure any of the RBs are honestly but the steady hand (i.e. Murray) is going to win out over the young guy making lots of mistakes right now.

Sort of hope Bell can bring something when he gets in game shape but I'm not holding my breath.

Agreed. Williams clearly has the most potential out of our backs, but until he cuts down on the fumbles and other mistakes, he's a liability out there. Considering how close all of our games have been so far, one mistake can be the difference between winning and losing.
Yep this is the missing point. Blowout? Sure, let him go out there and try to build some confidence and get into a rhythm. These close games? Absolutely not. He's leaving too many opportunities on the field to trust him right now. There's room to grow but he's not the answer right now.

Much rather have Williams out there right now than washed up Freeman… plus he needs to get experience and learn right now versus waiting until the real part of our schedule when we figure out we can’t do it with three has-beens at RB.
And I don’t think Williams was the guy who dropped 3 crucial passes yesterday.

And Freeman is?
