No one should be overlooking the Giants, especially THIS Ravens team that's "ify" at best.
Absolutely not. Barkley has been back to close to his old self. Write off Daniel Jones all you want but he’s playing some solid ball, and with Barkley looking much more dynamic, they certainly aren’t a cakewalk.

Probably the fact that Stone was the starter once Williams was out lol
he may start there, but just because he was used there when Williams went down, doesn't mean they won't use Hamilton there next week.

I do believe Stone plays there, because Williams was playing the entire game and Stone did that last season when Clark was out. Currently Hamilton isn't playing the amount of snaps Williams is playing. That's just my take.

The good: Harbaugh proves yet again that he’s a top 3 HC in the league.

but analytics do take that into account - team's analytics will be far more specific than league-wide ones like this bot
And would also note that we've made such a heavy investment into an analytics department for just this reason. And it's well respected across the league too. There's a reason why a guy like Scott Cohen has been getting GM interviews despite being out of a true player personnel role for several years now.

I didn't realize Cohen was getting GM interviews.

See that’s where analytics is a bunch of bullshit. It doesn’t take into account that Tucker isn’t an ordinary kicker and that he can drill it from that distance much more than the average kicker can
How does this factor in if the fg was a chip shot and any kicker could make it? Because I see the “you have the greatest kicker ever” argument but if a TD gives you a better chance to win then that’s what it is. It’s not about making the kick or not, it’s about 3 points and turning the ball over vs 7 points and burning clock

Because the distance was factored in. From 58 there’s a good chance the FG is a miss and the other team gets it back with amazing field position

if there was a way for tucker to score more points on a single play than other kickers because he's better then there'd be some logic
but 3 points is 3 points no matter who's kicking the field goal

Is it that I was brought up on the Ravens official site’s forum and Russell Street Report forum that I disagree with you guys and see the game differently so damn much? Because I go to RSR and they’re lock step in agreement with what I say

many of us were on the BR.com official site, but I do believe you listening to RSR, Reddit, fb and 105.7 the Fan and other social media could have an impact.

I don’t listen to 105.7 the fan (I’m not in their service range nor do I think they’re reputable) and I avoid the Ravens social media comments altogether. I’m not on Reddit

Reddit isn't the worst during the offseason when there's nothing to talk about. You can get a decent amount of high level posts.

During the season, though? It's the most reactionary and meme-y site.
