Lamar Jackson

That ending sucked.

Our D really was really pretty average 2012.
You just said how a player performs in the clutch is what matters while dismissing Bens bad performances. The 2012 playoff defense minus the Bowl was keeping teams below their average and clutch, so which one is it?

lol exactly

Where did you read that? Keep fishin’! lol

Did Denver average over 35 in 2012?

Did the defense allow 14 of those points?

The defense got a pick 6. Kept Denver from getting a first to get the offense the ball back and basically sealed the game with another int.

They also played some of the toughest offenses in the postseason. Granted the offense also went against some of the toughest defenses.
 
Ben was cool when he first came in. Nothing crazy.

What he wasn't was a two pack of ass. That defense did the heavy lifting early on and with time he became much better. Also note that the receivers he had after those superbowls where impressive.

08 it was Santonio Holmes and Ward
09 Holmes, Ward, Wallace
10 Ward, Wallace, Emmanuel Sanders rookie, AB was a rookie nobody knew shit about

The rest is history. It's insane to me crazy that run was



Bruce Arians was there until 2011
 
I’m sure it’s been posted already but this is wild. Ravens really going all out for Lamar. Wonder if he comes to the table now or holds out for Hop

Big Ben, starting in 08, was as clutch as clutch gets. I can not deny it. His playoff run that year was incredible.

I don’t see how we can get hop at this point. Lamar would absolutely need to chill on the demands and see that we went and got obj and did so by going against traditions and mortgaging the future a bit, then we have Bateman and likely a draft pick, that’s well beyond due diligence to appease Lamar’s on-field wants.
 
That was a dart into triple coverage and a great catch.


And both feet are clearly down. lol
It’s not clearly. It can be very much debated that one foot is blocking the other from touching, but it’s SO close that it’s impossible to overturn in that moment.

Edit: after a rewatch there is ONE angle out of a million that shows that back foot touching the ground, and now I’m wondering how I’ve re watched this same clip for this same debate a million times and have never once caught that angle. Yup that’s definitely a catch.

You know I’m trying hard to understand wtf Lamar is thinking. I’ve tried to think of one other situation where a QB negotiating a contract made such demands? I mean especially after missing significant games in the past two seasons, and winning one playoff game in 3 trips? Yeah it would be great to have dhop and obj on the team, and I get that we have been wr deprived for years but c’mon man. It’s bullshit. Enough with the demands. Get your deal done and do what you do best. Smfh!

Of course this could be another internet generated fake news report that is totally false. Who knows.

Cuz you hated that the Steelers won, just like me. lol

We've seen Lamar scrutinized for his ability to finish a season but he should be happy with his main 2 wrs having completed how many of the past 2? And he hasn't been working with the best cast even if his main guys were healthy.

My biggest complaint is waiting until the tag when they had all this time and could have added around him sooner.

I’m not going to pretend to understand the financials, I trust EDC…… buuut damn it would be fun to have OBJ, DHOP, Batemen, and Andrews in the same year. Even if it financially ruined us lol
