2019 NFL Playoff Game Thread - WC Round

[bigq]

I had no idea Crabtree was still in the league.

 

[DJnVa]

Probably too late, but there's a chance---let's see if the Ravens loudmouth defense can do something.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

People seem to equate mobility with avoiding sacks. Yes, you can run away from defenders but a good QB avoids more sacks by reading the defense, identifying blitzes, and progressing through reads faster.

He doesn’t know how to play quarterback at this level, for sure.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Dude that fast should almost NEVER be sacked.

A guy gets a free run at you, you're getting sacked.

This isn't fair for Jackson. He cant take that sack but he is in an impossible position.

I mean, his only options there were try and spin out, or ground it. the whole pocket imploded.

 

[johnmd20]

They have to change the rule that if you state you're kicking onsides, you can run the kickoff with the old rules.

It's a huge flaw in the game right now.

 

[Norm Siebern]

That’s OK Baltimore, your football team still sucks less than your baseball team.

 

[johnmd20]

Nice job ref!

 

[DJnVa]

I may have tried to kick it deep.

 

[mostman]

Nobody understands the rules.

 

[Al Zarilla]

You had one job, ref.

 

[johnmd20]

That's a pretty good call by the ref there.

 

[Mooch]

I don’t understand kicking onside here.

 

[Reggie's Racquet]

Nobody understands the rules.

Prom night.

 

[mr_smith02]

By all means, Romo, just guess for the audience

 

[Dollar]

That's a dumb rule, and a dumb explanation. Once the ball is kicked you should be able to go wherever you want.

 

[shawnrbu]

Allen could have returned that.

 

[johnmd20]

That was a great onside kick, it just happened to have bounced at the perfect spot.

 

[loshjott]

Smart move staying in bounds.

Or I’m an idiot.

 

[j44thor]

Dumb to stay in bounds there, over 5min to go.

 

[Obscure Name]

Pretty good kick though.

 

[j44thor]

Smart move staying in bounds.

Nope

 

[MuppetAsteriskTalk]

RB should have got the 1st down instead of going down to stay in bounds. Clock doesn't stop anyway.

 

[Red Averages]

Smart move staying in bounds.

Or I’m an idiot.

Clock runs regardless until 5 min. He gave up a first down and now they likely have to punt...

 

[Dollar]

Yeah really dumb move staying in bounds when he could have had the first down and the clock would keep running.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Honestly, the best 2 options for onside are:
1. Kicker dribbles it right up the middle and hopes to chase and recover it himself.
2. try and bounce it off a linebacker's helmet as hard as you can on the fly.

 

[Kliq]

Did the Raven fans just do a J-E-T-S chant? That’s hilarious.

 

[Al Zarilla]

RB should have got the 1st down instead of going down to stay in bounds. Clock doesn't stop anyway.

Romo said he was thinking right though. Say what?

 

[Red Averages]

Did the Raven fans just do a J-E-T-S chant? That’s hilarious.

Was that for Harbaugh?

 

[patinorange]

Yeah really dumb move staying in bounds when he could have had the first down and the clock would keep running.

It’s one thing for Sosh posters not to have figured that out by now, but pretty sad that players haven’t either.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Clock runs regardless until 5 min. He gave up a first down and now they likely have to punt...

There’s a stoppage until the ball is spotted but that’s only a extra 5-7 seconds you’re killing by staying in bounds.

Certainly not worth passing up the first down.

 

[johnmd20]

I would love to see the Ravens score here, so we have a close game. But I would also like Baltimore to lose, so I'm torn.

 

[Salem's Lot]

Rivers looked a little gimpy coming off the field after that last play.

 

[j44thor]

Still time for L Jax to salvage his daily fantasy #s.

 

[DJnVa]

Queue the "OMG, if the Ravens come back and win they'll have so much momemtum next week!!" posts.

 

[Red Averages]

I would love to see the Ravens score here, so we have a close game. But I would also like Baltimore to lose, so I'm torn.

As someone sitting on the 37.5 under, I completely root for a minor successful drive where they turn it over on downs at midfield

 

[loshjott]

Now that was NOT smart staying in bounds.

 

[Reggie's Racquet]

Terrible punt

 

[Norm Siebern]

Did the Raven fans just do a J-E-T-S chant? That’s hilarious.

They are chanting R-A-V-E-N-S

 

[Dollar]

This seems like a good time to switch to the backup for the Flacco Special.

 

[Cellar-Door]

I would love to see the Ravens score here, so we have a close game. But I would also like Baltimore to lose, so I'm torn.

I would like to not play the Chargers, so the Ravens scoring twice would be great. The Chargers are really good, the Ravens are garbage.

 

[Freddy Linn]

Get the first first.

 

[Van Everyman]

Flacco standing on the sidelines looking useless is surprisingly satisfying.

 

[j44thor]

Is Bal passing playbook more or less the same as 90s TECMO bowl playbook?

 

[ShaneTrot]

Rivers looked a little gimpy coming off the field after that last play.

The backup in SD is Geno Smith.

 

[Norm loves Vera]

 

[johnmd20]

I would like to not play the Chargers, so the Ravens scoring twice would be great. The Chargers are really good, the Ravens are garbage.

I mean, if the Ravens are garbage and the Chargers are really good, shouldn't they be up 55-10?

 

[Jnai]

Feels like they really need to redo the onside kick rule. Generates a ton of hard contact, has had the rules changed so much as to make it nearly impossible. Maybe like 4th and 10 from the kicking spot or something similar?

 

[mr_smith02]

It has been stated here already today, but the O Line definitely owns a large part of not allowing Jackson time to do what he has done for weeks that led the Ravens to today

 

[Salem's Lot]

I would like to not play the Chargers, so the Ravens scoring twice would be great. The Chargers are really good, the Ravens are garbage.

I’d rather play a team with a statue at QB that has to cross the country twice in two weeks.

 

[Cellar-Door]

What happened to the Ravens' line? I know the Chargers have a good pass rush, but the whole pocket is collapsing into Jackson's legs on every snap.

I mean, if the Ravens are garbage and the Chargers are really good, shouldn't they be up 55-10?

The Ravens' offense is garbage, their defense is excellent.
