NFL 2023

Really just the microcosm of every Ravens loss this year. Leave too many points off the board and basically beat themselves. That 2nd half was domination and yet they mustered 3 whole points.

No sus calls shockingly but tripping over ourselves at the worst times

 

GO LIONS  (I expect a 49ers win)

Gutted for you Ravens lads

I feel terrible for Zay. He's going to get so much shit on him for that fumble into the endzone, but he absolutely balled out when most others didn't.

Honestly, and it's a big part on the Chiefs defense for going hard all game, but the offensive gameplan was never there from the first whistle, and it was all just hanging in there by the graces of Lamar and others making clutch plays, rather than a focused plan being executed.

There were very few designed runs, and for most of the second half it felt the Ravens were just going with four verts with no dynamic routes to pressure the zones. Really poor playcalling down the stretch.

I really thought with Brady leaving the Pats that it’d be a pretty open revolving door with AFC contenders every year.

Nope.  The Chiefs just outright took their spot.  Mahomes made it to the AFC Title game at minimum and there’s no real reason to expect anything else until proven otherwise.  They’ve also proven you can just throw the regular season out for them.

As long as Mahomes is under center they’ve got a chance to win it all and when all is said and done it’ll be 2 teams largely running the AFC for like a 35-year span.

They spent so much of the early part of the game trying to show they could beat the blitz. It was just a really weird attitude. You know you can run the ball better than anyone, so go ahead and do that.

Wow the Lions are switched on.

[Adam]

Detroit scoring at will here, some great plays as well. They're not letting the Niners bully them or unsettle at all.

Although QBs win SB MVP most of the time, anyone wanting to buy into another player (and silly conspiracies), go to FanDuel and throw a few bucks at Kelce +2100 right now.

They’ll have better luck at drafting receivers too, so this regular season could eventually be looked at as an abnegation.

Will be funnier if the Chiefs lose and he somehow gets MVP

[Maxx]

Take the points ughhhh.

 

[Your Mom]

Lions are blowing it  

[Szumi]

The Detroit Lions are going full Detroit Lions this second half.

[gunnar hendershow]

Me two hours ago: "Well if Detroit wins that would at least be a nice consolation prize for me."

Me now: "I hate being alive"

[RazorsEdge]

That fumbled interception is really biting the Lions in the ass.

[The Buscher]

Team-wide meltdown for the Lions in this 3rd quarter

[Maxx]

God damn, Bobby Layne’s ghost is vicious.

Dan Campbell’s ultra-aggressive decisions were always gonna come back to bite him at some point this year

[RazorsEdge]

I know going for it on 4th down is Dan Campbell’s thing but they really should’ve kicked the field goal there.
