    The Ugly, The Murphy's Law and The Ravens

    Um, I may be a newbie at this site but i've been watching NFL football since the 70s. I remember the '72 Dolphins. It wasn't 'analytics' that made Harbs go for it on 4th and 2 to pull ahead of Seattle at CenturyLink. It was Jackson screaming at Harbaugh to reverse himself by calling timeout...

    The Ugly, The Murphy's Law and The Ravens

    I understand the Ravens never failed at 4th & 1 all season. But that doesn't mean you go for it under any ol' circumstance - especially against a team that's gunnin' for the Super Bowl. No matter how good you are at 4th & 1, you only do it when it's really necessary. That call risked a 14 pt...

    The Ugly, The Murphy's Law and The Ravens

    Yeah, it's called bend-don't-break D. Not such an unusual feature in good teams.

    The Ugly, The Murphy's Law and The Ravens

    I thought Harbs risky go-call on 4th & short on his own 48 wasn't playoff caliber coaching. You're playing against a hot hand playoff team - some respect wasn't just called for, it was necessary for victory. To do that when you're only down by 7 midway into the first quarter was a combination of...

    The Ugly, The Murphy's Law and The Ravens

    Tennessee's gonna fall to KC, mark my words. The Titans' Cinderella boat ride through Harbaugh's Barbie Dream House ends in Baltimore. Andy Reid don't play that. He ain't into humiliation-play on national TV like Harbaugh.

    The Ugly, The Murphy's Law and The Ravens

    Ravens passrush wasn't a factor - Titans only threw for 91 yards. 91 total passing yards usually means the pass def was excellent. The Ravens only gave up 28 points - not enough to lose since they score 33.2 pts a game on average. Thus their issues were on offense - but they rushed for 182. So...

    The Ugly, The Murphy's Law and The Ravens

    As a Cincy fan what stood out to me was the Titans' caught balls they should've dropped and the Ravens dropped balls they should've caught. Also the Ravens didn't look loose at all - they were wound real tight and weren't having fun. Harbaugh looked like a concerned and nervous statue -...

    The Ugly, The Murphy's Law and The Ravens

    It's hard to attribute Baltimore's video game numbers to over achievement. The Ravens were a stone cold monster team this year. It's the coach's job to keep a team disciplined, focused and sharp in the postseason. Every time the camera showed Harbaugh he looked catatonic. Vrabel looked like a...

    The Ugly, The Murphy's Law and The Ravens

    It's tempting to say some BS about Jackson's youth and inexperience dealing with playoff pressure but let's face it, he can only throw the passes. He can't catch them too.

    Lamar Jackson

    I predicted 2 weeks ago Seattle over KC in the SB. But didn't see Titans playoff push til they beat Brady up and took his lunch money. Still figured Ravens would lose to KC in the AFC championship since KC beat you guys earlier in the year (plus KC has the AFC's lowest avg loss margin). But when...
