After the past few weeks nfl media has been buzzing about mvp favorites, and many people have been specifically downplaying Lamar. I quit looking at twitter posts and the constant hate on him, and it has been very relaxing. Most of these people are guys sitting behind a phone having trouble breathing while they down their next beer just to make a post hating on Lamar.

I have never seen Lamar respond to any of these, if he doesn’t care, why should we? There will always be hate, as that’s how the world works. We shouldn’t even be worried about an MVP right now (although I do agree he deserves it), are only focus should be winning the Super Bowl.

I hope y’all understand that hating, no matter the player, wont change a thing and nobody will care. So let’s be grateful that we are able to watch such a beautiful sport.

Let’s recoup for the bye week, and look onwards to playing the giant.

I know we are 8-5 and bills are 10-2. Are they the best team in the afc right now? Because the teams they have defeated aren't particularly impressive this season. They lost to us and our defense atleast earlier in the season was bad. It's not like they were rusty at the time because they were destroying mediocre teams at the same rate of like 30+ points per game. So why is the narrative all the sudden that the bills are unbeatable and josh allen is playing his best ever?

Edit: I'm not arguing that the ravens are the best team right now. Just want to point that out.

I’ve had season tickets for 6 years now. My wife is a die hard Eagles fan but she goes to every Ravens game with me and has even been the one to tell me to “man up” in the cold and rainy games.

She had been looking forward to this Eagles/Ravens matchup for months now. We sit next to the same 4-5 fifty-something year old guys every game who have had season tickets since the 90s.

At the game, she went to the bathroom and when coming back, I noticed the couple at the end of our row, who were not regulars, were having some words with her before they finally stood up to let her back on the row. I could tell she was upset about something.

Evidently this couple refused to stand up to let her by, told her they weren’t getting up for Eagles fans, she could go around the other side of the section if she wanted to get in. The man stuck his foot in the way so she stumbled past him. She’s a tough woman, but sensitive. I could tell it threw her off. I began to make my way over to the couple to have some words (I’m a grown up I wasn’t going to start a fight but I certainly was going to chew them out) but she told me to stop.

Anyway, the guys we sit next to every game caught wind of what happened. As the game ended and we were leaving, the couple still would not get up and move so people are stepping over seats and rows to get by them. My guy that sits next to me decides to lay into these people, telling them they’re dicks, that my wife sits here at every Ravens game through rain, snow, cold that she’s more of a regular here than they are and they need to act right. These people were shell-shocked, had nothing to say but mumbling some bullshit.

It really warmed our hearts and made her feel a lot better that these guys who we have formed a bond with over Ravens games the last several years cared enough about her to go to bat for her (despite her eagles fandom lol)

Just thought I’d share. Definitely felt the love from the Ravens flock family in that moment.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcSGd890FS0 - around 7 minutes, Chad Johnson unloads. He says it's on Lamar to make up for the kicker's woes with some colorful language encouraging Lamar to be who he was at Boynton Beach.

I am fully on board with this. Lamar, when sh*t ain't going the way you want it to go: Run, baby. Just run. Xs and Os can't accommodate for your talents when you go off script.

In Canada, so I can’t get HBO max and don’t have cable tv, does anyone know of a way to watch the episode tonight? I’m fine with either paying for a service or sailing the seas 🏴‍☠️

The list of quarterbacks averaging a passer rating >= 110:

1. Lamar Jackson

"At an age when running backs tend to decline dramatically, Henry has only gotten better, just as he gets better the later a game goes as the NFL’s ultimate closer." -- so what's the deal? why do people say he's better at the end of the game, or better at the end of the season?

No matter what. Tucker’s struggles, missing on pretty much every WR pick we’ve ever made aside from Torrey and Zay, underperforming in the playoffs under both Flacco and Lamar,

No matter what. Thank ever living fuck we aren’t the god damn Browns

At least the Browns always find a way to make me feel better

After hearing the press I think Lamar will start to turn on the jets more often from here on out. Just look at the last drive of the game. Sure, the Eagles had them locked up and maybe they were a bit loose toward the end of the game, but how many yards was the big scramble? That was huge. Just imagine how powerful this can be for this offense going forward. It will open the pass game up and defenses will have to pay closer attention to the threat of Lamar’s legs. We have seen that before, but this time we have Henry and a plethora of dangerous receivers.

I think this is the key right now and I predict Lamar to have 90+ yards rushing against the Giants.

I originally wrote this as a reply to a low effort post that was deleted, because when I looked it up, I thought it was worth sharing. I still think it is, just to give fans some perspective.

This is Tucker's 13th season. Until now, his % has been in the high 80's and 90's. This season, he's in the 70's. (despite people wanting to include 2023 in this slump, he finished at 86.5% FGA and 98.1% XPA)

Throughout Adam Vinatieri's first 13 seasons, he was in the 80's and low 90's with a couple seasons in the 79 range. In his 8th season he had a full on slump season, in the low 70's, including 70 flat in the playoffs*. He eventually got back into form, and had FIFTEEN more seasons at GOAT level, until he finally fell off in 2019, at 46 years old.

People are acting like Tucker is 46 years old, and not a 35 year old going through a slump at the mid point of his career. It's not like he's lost his distance either; he is just missing left almost all the time (except when he overcorrects).

You can look up other of the all time great careers as well. The standards were different back then, but Morten Anderson was in the high 70's and 80's for much of his TWENTY-FIVE year career, but he'd have a slump season here and there, below 70%. Same as Jason Hansen in his twenty year career. Mostly in the 80s and even 90's, but he had a bad season or two at 70%.

So maybe Justin Tucker got "cooked" 10 years early and needs to retire now. Or maybe he's just having a slump like literally everyone else did.

We don't know, but I wouldn't automatically assume the worst

*The Patriots won the Super Bowl that season

I’m looking for a clip from the MNF Ravens vs. Chargers game from last week. The clip was the Derick Henry touchdown that wasn’t called because of an illegal formation. There was a chargers defensive player who was told to “ fuck off” thought it was funny. Thank you :)
