One thing about the Texans, they don't stay home. Ravens are a really good team, and they respect that, but the Texans are young and know no fear.

Yea I think they fear Roquan and going over the middle

He hasn't been THAT bad either. The worst he looked was the TD he gave to Pickens and the ending of the Rams game.

Lmao that's pretty fucking bad. He was the reason we lost one of our 3 games Lamar played and was very nearly a second. On just individually bad play.

How is 50% completion when throwing at him bad? If a QB had a 50% completion rate he would out of the league. Today 60% is considered inaccurate.

Lmao there you are. It's bad when you wait until the legitimate waning seconds of games to completely meltdown and and cause the team to lose or force overtime. And it's not like those were plays where there was some bust and he was just closest. He just got cooked. And those are not the only times he's been cooked this season. He's not been himself and that's due to three fucking injuries he's had. At his best he's been ok and at his worst he's been trash.

Looks it’s pretty simple, if he practices tomorrow and is slated to play he’s been decent while playing through injuries. If he is another DNP and is slated to miss the game than he’s trash and we’re better off without him.

Been stuck in bed with COVID for most of the past week so ya been kinda away.

On topic, if a CB is giving up 50% completion that is an elite coverage number. If you looked at a QB and he went 19-38 for 236 yards and 1 TD you would think that QB did not play well. You are trying to argue those suggest the defender did not play well. If Stroud has that statline the Ravens are winning by 4TDs. That is what he would have averaged throwing at Humphrey, who is often on the best guy.

I do not know what you would define as great but I am also not sure if there is a CB or defender in the league who could reach that standard and the argument is there are great CBs in the NFL, that probably suggests the standard is too high.
 
Really hoping he still plays, I mean the Texans top two rushers were DNPs today and they’re for sure playing, but they practiced and played last game so idk

And after all that he could have won the game for us by not dropping the INT and he didn't.

This game and the Steelers one were bad. He's been OK to pretty good in others. You are exaggerating a bit.

Revisionist history. Peyton Manning was highly, highly, criticized for not winning playoff games early in his career.
Note also that, in year 5, he made the AFCG. What year is Lamar in, currently?

Peyton Manning wasn't in the stratosphere of being considered one of the great QBs in history after his first 3-4 years in the league. He reached that level later in his career, when from 2003-2015, if my math is correct, he won 14 playoff games, made 6 conference championship games, made 4 super bowls, won 2 SBs, and had won five MVPs.

Revisionist history? Lamar is in which year now? WTH is the matter with you man? You know fully well, that Lamar wasn't available the past 2 years, and other than that, he was in the playoffs every year he was healthy. What is your point in bringing up future stats for Peyton when Lamar's story is unwritten? Also, he has a playoff record of 13-14.

Peyton Manning was taking flack for playoff performances when he was losing games without punting. Now the nice thing about the narrative of "cant perform in the playoffs" is that it is only a narrative until the moment one does. However as of now it is a fair narrative and I expect in a week it will start to not be.

Let's not forget Lamar got us to playoffs with a 6-1 run in his rookie year, after practicing all preseason and season with a scout team, while Flacco was shitting the bed. He's had 2 full seasons (I'm writing off covid year for everybody) - unanimous MVP in one, will be close to unanimous MVP again.

And he'll win a Super Bowl in about a month time.

Im not a Harbs fan as I think his act has gone stale while riding Lamar’s coat tails , but that man is not a playoff choker. Did you forget the 08-12 timeframe?
