Quote from: MU82 on November 08, 2024, 01:18:24 AMThe Ravens committed at least 2 penalties on the 2-point attempt that the refs either missed or refused to call because they wanted to "let the players decide the game." Ridiculous.

I thought they were pretty borderline. Lotta acting on the one over the middle

Bengals kind of confused me. They seemed to have an excellent game plan like all night. But a lot of times on short yardage(or on the 2 pt) they seemed to just throw it up/deep and hope for flags.

The back to back deep balls on 3rd and short inside the Ravens 40 when they were up 21-20 was...something.  The first one I totally get.  The second was baffling.

But what a fun damn game.  Great to have a primetime game live up to it when so many have been duds lately.  Lamar was unreal.  The scramble to get them nearly to the goal line was a classic "what is he doing...oh my word what a play".  And he made some fantastic throws/patient reads.

Also, no matter what you think about Lamar, what DeCosta and Harbaugh have done with the Ravens are the shining example of how to build a team around the skills/mold of your star QB.

Completely agree on doing both on that 3rd and 1.

Yeah it was an electric game. Very fun to watch. I was playing Lamar and Henry in fantasy and as Bengals are up 21-7 with the ball about midway into the 3rd. I was loving it. Brown fumbles and in the blink of an eye Henry scores and Lamar goes from sub 10 to over 30 pts.

....luckily I had chase.

Love when the thursday night game is entertaining and not a snooze.

I'm gonna disagree with you and Sultan about this. The announcers - including Terry McAulay, the ex-ref in the booth - also disagree with you. But the officiating crew agreed with you, and they're all that matters.

Never understood that extension. Made the playoffs in 2022 due to a hot start and beat the Vikings in the playoffs (lol), but that felt very smoke a mirrors-ish.

Trevor Lawrence may be out for season. Mac Jones starting today and has chance to be home town hero against Vikes.

I don't think anyone other than cynical Giants fans expected the Panthers not to give up at least game tying FG yardage there.  Sheesh

A contest to see which coach can out-dumb the other.

Absolutely brutal.

The Sultan

I know they're connected, but I don't think the coaching was that bad. It's just two bad football teams.

I hate the 'prevent' defense, but a lot of coaches would have done that.

But Carli a running a prevent offense?

Four INTs in his last six quarters.
The comeback story was fun while it lasted.

PGsHeroes32

Unfortunately a great offensive system loaded with play makers helped lead some to believe Darnold had found it after 7 years of ineptitude.

Nope, he's awful. And doesn't even have football IQ to make up for it.

KOC gonna have to work magic down the stretch.

Repeat post: the bears players have quit

The dumb "we don't fire head coaches in season" mantra from the Bears better change by noon tomorrow.

There is something very wrong. It may be Caleb, it's definitely Poles/Eberflus/Waldron.

Flus very deserving of being fired, but I don't see an advantage to doing it now. Unless you think Waldron could do better without Flus. I don't.

Like the original Tecmo bowl, the Bears need to Kmet to finding the tight end.
