I was fooled as well, but many times on TV I don't know where the ball is either. He's the best in the league at this.

That’s a good positive thought but I think if you watch again that “back cut” was a run straight to the sideline and out of bounds.

They really are total morons.
Were they watching the same game as we were?

The funniest part is that Whitlock had his chest puffed out last week, was the only one saying the ravens would win and he said they would win decisively. Instead of giving everyone the blues for being the only one right, he downplays what we did
that's right, I saw that last week. He had the chance to conquer and passed the buck.

Did anyone else notice how physical the secondary was with Edelman? They basically said screw it, bumped and hit Edelman at the line and made life harder on him with double teams. Pretty sure Marcus Peters was the one who said that every team New England has faced so far were passive on defense. Our guys wanted to bring the aggression to them.

I got 3 hours of sleep last night, and I hadn't had anything to eat all day until 30 minutes ago. It was such a good game last night, but I haven't had any time to enjoy it.
with the packers it was such an opportunity that while he didnt want to move from the ravens he did double check with steve and ozzie that the 5 year plan (for him to takeover) was still in place and they reassured him it was - but i think from what he's said that's the only offer that ever made him double check his standing here
i think with this point my guess is there's a couple of reasons - the one where he loses yardage felt to me like he thought he could get the edge for a moment and create more yards
but in general i think because he's still recovering from injuries that he's avoiding contact where he can (when he can) while he's still healing - i fully expect as he gets healthier that he will play differently - and i think part of it is just underestimating the speed of linebackers etc. to close him down when he's trying to get yards a bit like lamar early in his first season where he was surprised by how fast everyone else was and it took him a while to readjust his angles
i knew where the ball was immediately but only because of the block pat ricard put on the only pats guy who had a chance at hollywood
there was a moment as he turned the corner where i thought he might be going to the house

I don't believe you
he's got physical tools that could make him a really nice pickup - what's been surprising is how well he's done technically and how sure-handed he's been when he's been in despite only being here 3-4 weeks
he's showing us why the raiders thought he was worth a 2nd round pick - high ceiling type player because of his athletic gifts
probably also helps that the broadcast actually managed to follow the guy with the ball for once

I don't believe broadcast either!

I stayed up till 3 AM because the adrenalin pumping through my veins didn't settle down. This morning I went right back to scouring the internet for videos and articles to see how the naysayers were doing in the aftermath of a severe drubbing of the Pats at the hands of imho the Michael Jordan of the NFL. How would the haters reconcile the facts with their perception? Some still hated like Whitlock, Gonzalez and Mancini saying they were all super impressed with the Patriots! Figure that one out for me please. Some reluctantly gave Lamar his props. Some outright jumped bandwagons shamelessly. Some stood their ground looking stupid.
Bottom line is Lamar doesn't give a rat's tiny poop bit what these guys think and that is the most satisfying thing to me.

No! They made a conscious effort for clicks by trying to be contrarians but looked like idiots.
