Pagano wants to get back into coaching:

Wink has been getting some buzz as a possible HC candidate so if he were to leave then we could potentially get Pagano back as DC. I don't even know if Wink would want to leave, but it's something to think about for the off-season.

Hopefully the rest of the league continues their pursuit of the next great offensive genius and they leave Wink the fuck alone.

I was stunned that it only took 1 year for Pagano to be hired away. Hopefully that doesn’t happen to Wink cause he’s been a godsend. I’ll not get too worked up over the possibility because there are more immediate concerns.

We're still in regular season hoping to get into the post season man! Don't jinx us with this stuff right now!

And if not for Boldin's borderline illegal block on Weddle on that play, no FG - no playoffs, no last ride, no mile high miracle...

Got lucky on the block and the spot. Pretty sure we still could have lost that game. Just would have needed to beat the Bengals week 17.

My team misses the playoffs for 2 years straight. I just don't know if we ever will get back there.

We just went through no playoffs in 4 years and only 1 appearance in 6...

Hopefully we don’t mess up vs the browns and get ourselves back in

But the packers will be fine - you’re in a difficult division but you’ve got some good core players to work with

Lol, yep - spot was a bit dodgy, too.

That spotting will always kill me.
I was at that game with my best friend and his dad as they had family in SD so we drove down. They originally came onto the field and announced he was short after reviewing it. There was no announcement of the challenge or any way to tell. It was 5pm, I was in 6th grade, and we had a 3 hours + traffic car ride back home and school the next day. Can’t remeber how many time outs we had but knowing we went for it on 4th and 29, not enough I’d assume.

The game was over and we decided to get a head start on traffic. I didn’t object.

Walking out we heard a loud scream of cheers. We assumed it was just a chargers kneel down and win. Forgot that entire stadium was ravens fans.
I remeber trying to check my friends dad’s iPhone 4, but that old stadium is complete concrete and no connection.

We got in the car to listen to traffic and the station was on overtime. From that day on I refuse to ever leave a game until it’s over. Pissed I missed out on Ot but Atleast I got to see that play.

To argue you on that, we still make the playoffs imo. We rested all starters vs cincy because we had it locked up. This was before they lived rent free in our heads, and we beat them by over 30 early in the year. Regardless we only lost by 6 with Tyrod. I do agree we don’t have that same magic however without the miracle play

I think it’s different with Lamar. 4th and 12 doesn’t happen last year without the team forgetting to show up in the first half. They were too focused on the playoffs and everyone calling us the dark horse and didn’t get it done.
 
Best 3rd down offences:

Basically if it's 3rd and less than 7 we're one of the better offences in the league
but even if it's over 7 we're not one of the worst either

Another difference is that in the recent past it seemed late in games we were a 3 and out machine and the defense couldn’t hold up. Though they did put a little pressure on the D v the Chargers for the most part we’ve ground teams into dust late in games while the D was chillin on the bench.
