Come on my guy, don't extend my language beyond what I said. On Sunday Buffalo was better. On that day, Vegas was better.
8 is completely capable of playing well enough to win a SB. You've seen it in every win and in the second half of the Buffalo game. But for 8 to win a SB, he and his team all have to play better than they have in each of those 6 losses.
I'll end it here because it probably isn't fruitful last this. Marlon and Hamilton and Andrews and all our really good players, are just that. Really good players and you're happy to have them on your team.
Impact != clutch
You're right. We need guys who are both. They are indeed distinct.
Yeah we have impact guys all over defense except Edge. That’s really the one I’d say isn’t high impact. We absolutely need people to get some clutch gene. I kinda wonder if even the team thinks and relies on Lamar to pull wins out his ass. Watching them on defense makes me wonder sometimes. Defense played well too, but even they could be better.
My point the whole time has been the roster is good. We'll be in the playoffs again as long as Lamar's healthy. But guys gotta be more clutch on offense and they gotta be even more impactful on defense.
I think it’s clutch everywhere. We really do have an amazing roster. It’s a really good build. Edge is the biggest problem honestly but the roster is solid. It’s players not playing well, which they can do. That is a clutch issue to me
How would Lamar be last?I think if I have to pick a team to root for it's going to be the Bills. I've not liked them since they lost 3 straight SB's. I still can't stand Jim Kelly. Yet, I find myself liking the Bills Mafia guys for their support of Mark Andrews. What Social Media has been doing to him and his GF is appalling. Anyway... Another championship for either KC or Philly would be intolerable and I refuse to root for the Foreskins, so it looks like the Bills.
edit--- the only thing about the Bills is Lamar would be the last of the draft class to get a SB. But concessions must be made. lol
God. So I did. You'd think they'd learn after 9 straight years of giving some random long shot almost 100% of the practice snaps and let whoever is actually going to be starting after the Wk 2 pivot get a bit of practice too.
There's not much to criticize about what the Ravens do but the way they hold back some players (like high drafted rookies) and over trust others (late round fliers in Y2 -4) in the off season might have affected chemistry and led, in part, to the early season struggles that meant we had to go to Buffalo in the cold rather than hosting a game.
Thing is....Roger Rosengarten really didn't NOT play any left tackle in college. He only had 3 snaps at LT and that was in 2023. In 2021 and 2022 he had no snaps at LT. He probably played LT in high school. That being said, I do believe he has the ability, due to his athleticism, to be a left tackle and that's why I liked him in college. I never expected Stanley to have the year he just had and was looking at OT than had the ability to play left tackle in the NFL.
