    Lamar Jackson

    Wouldn't this possibly be a function of the uniqueness of his first name in comparison to his last. The others who are referenced by last name have distinct last names. Lamar is distinct - no one else who is prominent in the league with that name. Jackson is super common.

    I think Henry’s poor performances against us back then had more to do with him than with us. He just seemed to be so tentative during that timeframe and starting late last year he got locked in and is so much more decisive and confident. I was in Nashville for our beatdown of the Titans in the...

    Well, we don't have to play the Saints - so we're good ... Besides ... the parallel I was drawing with with respect to this game only, so I kind of like the comparison. The situation is pretty spot on. Beside, Indy probably rested starters and people were concerned about them being rusty.

    I’m hoping we see a parallel to the 2009 playoffs where the Ravens were in the role the Titans are currently in. With the 6 seed we went to Foxboro and shocked the Pats with a huge rushing performance. We were hot and ready to roll into Indy, who were 14-2 and held the 1 seed. Indy had a poorly...

    Black Monday - 2019

    Awesome when I heard Ruhle went to Panthers I was concerned so this is fantastic news. Only job left is Cleveland and they are all over the map.

    People are groping to find a reason why this might be a game. Whether people agree with Harbaugh's decision to sit Lamar week 16 or not, the point became totally moot. Lamar was sick as a dog that day. They showed him on the sidelines looking like death warmed over and he said he left the...

    For this to work is you need Correa (a marginal starting OLB) to do the job of the 2012 version of T Sizzle (a hall of famer in his prime). Youre selling out on the edge in this formation and IF we are going with this as a run Lamar will let go of the ball and this will be an inside dive every...

    That’s about the same thing BOB said before we destroyed the Texans.

    I get the feeling McDaniels is going to have his pick between CLE and CAR.

    Black Monday - 2019

    How many guys have Browns interviewed? It has to have reached double digits, right? The risk of us losing a coordinator seems to be dropping. Cowboys job gone (though I never thought that would be an option). Ruhle front runner for NYG. CAR hasn’t expressed interest in either. Who knows what...

    Lamar Jackson

    No it’s not that I was complaining about a lack of coverage just stating the way the news cycle goes and how predictions go. I will admit as a fan I do like coverage. The one thing I think got lost because the records were officially broken in a game that had little meaning. The rushing record...

    Lamar Jackson

    Concerns are being raised as expected regarding rust for Lamar. If he misfires early and the Titans grind clock and score early we may start to press. I am dying for this game to happen and to see that we pick up where we left off in the regular season. Saturday night cannot get here fast enough.

    Lamar Jackson

    Oh I realize there is nothing to be gained by getting media attention Im just saying I’m not afraid of the team getting complacent when we get it. Gone are the days of fueling our motivation because of a lack of respect. We are in a place where greatness is going to be expected of us and we...

    Lamar Jackson

    But that’s ok. We got guys like Yanda and BWill and others to keep the young ones on point. And for the young one named Lamar we have no worries. That guy is laser focused on the task at hand and has no illusions that things will go our way based on how we have played up to this point. All that...

    Damn long range weather forecast appears that it will be another sloppy game. Not really something I want.

    Lamar Jackson

    It’s funny since we shut down Lamar after week 16 and because so many other teams have been playing in meaningful games the past 2 weeks and we have not it is as if people have forgotten what we are capable of. I don’t feel like we’ve been mentioned much in this span and as is always the case...

    Based on our track record that spread seems about right. I guessed it at -8 but -9.5 isn’t far off. I know some people hate that we’re heavy favorites. I’m good with it because we’ve been that for a while and seem to live up to it.

    Next Up: Division Round vs Titans

    That’s my thought. If we are able to have the kind of success offensively I think we should have and get it early ... if they fail on their first couple possessions they will have a tough time sticking to their game plan. If we play our game we will be hosting the AFC Championship

    For what? You really need to ask? In what universe does it make sense for a team to get the ball on a coin toss and the other team not get a chance to answer? I don’t give a shit how good or bad the QB is who is on the bench without a chance for redemption. This comes up anytime it happens...

    I’m happy for Vikes but my God they need to change the overtime rules. I cant believe after what happened last year with KC v NE that they didn’t change it this offseason
