    The Random Thought Thread

    I was thinking about this kickoff fair catch rule. Does it apply if the ball is fair caught beyond the 25? If so, why not just pop the ball way up so that your team has time to get under it and surround anyone who might fair catch it, say at the opposing 40? If no fair catches it, then...

    The 2023 Offseason Thread

    Looking at the schedule for how it could affect us: No chance weeks 13 (bye), 16 (MNF) or 17 (having just played Monday). Week 14 (hosting Rams) would be great, since we're coming off a bye. Week 15 (at Jags) would be dreadful. So, we'll be playing Thursday in week 15.

    They play in Jacksonville this year and again in 2029. Atlanta in 2026. Miami in 2027. Tampa in 2030. Other meetings can happen if they finish in the same spot in their respective divisions. For example, next year the Ravens will play at the NFC South team that finishes in the same...

    Lamar Jackson

    Hasn't finished the last 3 years. Knocked out of the playoff game against the Bills as well.

    I leave the driving to the guides on safaris. ^_^ Kruger is the only safari type park I've been where I noticed private vehicles as being common. And yes, one would learn a lot about the gas and brake pedals there. :D

    I love safaris and Kruger is a great place for that - as well as for seeing the southern sky. Close encounters with elephants and whale sharks are among my favorite memories. Enjoy your trip! You'll get back to news that Lamar has a long term, team friendly deal here. :lol::brickwall::crying:

    I don't have any thoughts worth writing about the offseason and Lamar's situation, but I can talk travel forever. FYI, in case it hasn't been on your radar, this should be a good time of year for seeing Great White Sharks. Head down near the Cape of Good Hope. Plenty of outfitters will put you...

    Lamar Jackson

    Lance could come in and finish most of the second quarter before his season ending injury.

    Lamar Jackson

    49ers should trade Purdy, Lance and a couple of draft picks for him. Lamar with Deebo, CMC, Kittle, Aiyuk, etc. would be stunning.

    Lamar Jackson

    He can easily afford to sit out the entire year, thanks to the bag he'll bring in from his boom box looking gym.

    Lamar Jackson

    Seriously - if there's enough weight in that thing to get an effective workout, you'd probably need a damn wheelchair lift just to get it into and out of your car. But no, it doesn't look like there's enough weight to get a decent workout.

    If you order now, they'll include a free shake weight.

    Lamar Jackson

    And part of betting, including betting on oneself in a contract year, is the possibility of losing that bet. Flacco won it big. Lamar, perhaps not.

    "Believes" is was on his wrist?! He doesn't know? "Won't be out for long"?! From Harbaugh, that equates to a confirmed career ending leg amputation.

    If Evans made that catch, Tucker probably wouldn't have ever played in the NFL. (We would have won the game, so Cundiff doesn't miss, so probably no real training camp competition for Cundiff. If I recall correctly, Ravens were the only team who contacted Tucker.)

    Next Up: @ Bengals (Wildcard Round)

    Just treat the QBs like OLBs. Bring Brown in on third downs since he can throw beyond the line of scrimmage. edit to add, I'm not serious.

    We had Hulu - briefly. I have nothing good to say about that. We paid extra for no commercials With many of the shows we had on their DVR, we couldn't fast forward thru commercials we paid to not have to begin with. Or, in some cases, the commercials would not be there but we could not fast...

    I have Dish and like it. I used to have Directv (for Sunday Ticket) and never liked it. But as WKRP's DJ said, they do get in periodic contract disputes. Out of nowhere one Sunday, ESPN disappeared. I was furious, as it was the day of the Singapore Grand Prix. (We have fond memories of...

    Next up: Mike Tomlins first losing season

    Those 3 picks make sense knowing he played the second half in that condition. He probably should have retired after that second concussion a while back. He's likely taking years off of at least quality of life with each concussion at this point.
