Here's an update.. my hard drive was the issue and it was failing apparently. I spent a couple hundred bucks on a new 1TB hard drive and damn my computer feels new all over again. Just having to go back and redo all my logins, and what not.
that's great news

So, Burrow has 4 wins this season, all of them vs 2-7 teams. Also a loss to one 2-7 team and 5 losses to good teams. Most of the losses were close.

Where the fuck are "Choker Joe" headlines?? Now it's on everybody else, just not on the QB?
i'm not going to say what we all know why that is

Sorry if this was posted already, just got my computer back. Interesting video on why Tucker keeps missing the way he does and it is indeed the hold that is causing him to miss, conveniently always from the left hash mark.

notably ravens D getting screwed on "judgement calls" and about middle of the road when you look at other types of penalties

I struggle to argue with most of the calls though. There are maybe 1 or 2 a game that I would argue are ticky tack but I never think they are wrong.

Excellent, sir. Did you get a SSD - solid state drive? That will make a huge improvement after using the old spinning disk HDD's.

A few years back when I bought my first SSD drive laptop I couldn’t believe how fast it booted up compared to the old.
Do they still make the old HDD?

This was a post from @Filmstudy through 8 games.

With regard to Stephens, the issue is not tightness of coverage, it's his vulnerability to the back shoulder throw. Since he doesn't turn to find the ball effectively, he regularly gives up the catch to a receiver that knows where to turn for the ball, but he's pretty good at defending the catch point.

2024 Stephens (8 games)

5.6 Targets per Game

9.3 YPT

118.7 OPR

by comparison:

2023 Stephens in 18 games including playoffs

6.6 Targets per Game

6.9 YPT

82.4 OPR

Stephens has certainly fallen off, but the Ravens 2 deep safeties are the real culprits:

Marcus Williams: 12.5 YPT, 143.9 OPR

Eddie Jackson: 10.9 YPT, 144.9 OPR

Last year the safeties provided cover and easier roles for each of the 3 CB positions.

Happy early Birthday Marines,its ball night and time to party!!
“From the Halls of Montezuma
To the shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country’s battles
In the air, on land, and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title
Of United States Marine.

Our flag’s unfurled to every breeze
From dawn to setting sun;
We have fought in ev’ry clime and place
Where we could take a gun;
In the snow of far-off Northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes;
You will find us always on the job
The United States Marines

Here’s health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve;
In many a strife we’ve fought for life
And never lost our nerve;
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven’s scenes;
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines.”

We might have a legitimate kicking competition this offseason. First since 2012
