Next Up: Wild-Card Bye

[gtalk12]

I am very interested in seeing which version of Flacco comes to play this playoffs.








MAKE ME PROUD JOEY. WE STILL LOVE YOU EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE A TREACHEROUS MOTHER FUCKER.

JANUARY JOE VS JANUARY JACKSON???

They looked physical against the ravens, but I thought they would more physical then what you implied, buffalo might be more physical

LOL that's because they're playing against backups in a monsoon. Everybody looks physical in that environment.

 

[rmcjacket23]

he has a grade 2 mcl sprain. Not likely

Sounds like he's effectively out this weekend, and would be doubtful to be ready in the Divisional round. Sounds like AFCG with a brace would be best case scenario for him.

 

[rossihunter2]

Could be wrong but given the Ravens pseudo rule of needing injured players to have 3 weeks to ramp up, if we're gonna see Andrews again this year, he's pretty much gotta get designated to return this week

not necessarily
if he gets designated after the divisional round that's 3 weeks because he'd have the week before the afc championship and then 2 weeks before the superbowl

also maybe doesnt need 3 weeks to ramp

exactly the AFCCG and I'd expect him to be out then as well.

Thought they were physical team due to being in the afc north guess not, now a team who is physical is the chiefs and defensively they can probably give the offense fits with two top 10 corners

 

[rossihunter2]

Get someone in Tua’s face and that ball is gonna sail. Cannot handle pressure at all.

take away the middle and he cant drive it outside

Don't think he'd need three. But probably two. Or if he did just one week, he'd be very limited on a low pitch count.

But I think whatever week he's activated (if so), it's the game after that one where he'd show up. So if he's activated today, he's be an option for divisional round.

Think AFCG would be a best case scenario at this point, but I've not really heard anything.

 

[GodIsGreat]

ravens are going to most likely be facing the texans again

Most likely the Browns. They're favored over the Texans, and the Browns are a dreadful matchup for what Houston wants to do on both sides of the ball.

that would fit the timelines that have been put out there
he's a possibility for AFCG or superbowl if he can make it back at all

 

[Baltimorican]

I'm honestly not sure about Simpson. Feels like he could very much be a Bradley Bozeman situation. But if not, and he wants to come back modestly, I think we would be open.

I'm saying we will pick up Bateman's 5th year option.

Edited OBJ language.

I don't see Oweh or Bateman getting picked up at $13m/yr. Extend them at about 7-10m/yr for 3-4 years if you really love the tape or let them play their contract years and move on.

Plus, I didn't see much improvising from him. Other from our game, I really don't watch much of the Dolphins. That being said, what a number of Dolphins say about Tua is that once you take the first read away, more times than not, you'll limit what that offense wants to do. Now granted, it doesn't help that Waddle was out, but at some point, he needed to take it upon himself to get some first downs.

I'm not counting out those sneaky Steelers. Buffalo hasn't actually played that well last 3 weeks, Steelers got that run game going.

Tua is the AFc Goff. He'll murder you with lasers if he has time and his receivers are in rhythm. So much as lay a hand on them and they fold like a pair of 5's.

if they choose one it's going to be Oweh. He's played very well and had lot of pressures this season and is obviously on the upside.

Agreed! I'm hoping EDC can buy low on Oweh, maybe 3yr/24m or so. He's on a trajectory to be a rotational player but still has upside to blossom. At this point it feels like Bateman could use the fire of a contract year and either way he might need a change of scenery.

Bateman, no chance. I don't think you could justify that price tag in any scenario.
Oweh I think is closer than I think people realize.

Note the projections are that Bateman would be @ $13.7M, Oweh @ $12.1M. I think they'd give Oweh another year at that price point.

i dont think they even blink at potentially paying oweh that just to have an extra year of development and control... by the time we're actually paying him that, we'll know what he is and will either be riding out that final year or be looking to extend anyway

 

[redrum52]

I wouldn't be sure of any of it. KC doesn't do anything well right now. Don't know why people would assume they can beat Miami. They haven't done much this year to show that.

I'll dig a little deeper as the week goes on, but my gut feel is that the Browns are likely to blow out the Texans.

It's felt like whoever won the South the Browns were most likely going to handle. Feel that defense was too much of a mismatch for that division. That said Texans probably put up the most resistance but who knows.

I wouldn't be shocked if the team tried negotiating to get something done to avoid the tag with Oweh.
