I'm rooting for Flacco to come in during garbage time and lead his team down the field on a chain of PI calls.

And the shanked punt is the icing on the cake.

RE: the 3rd down play, the reason the ball was spotted back at the 1 is that was the original spot. LAC challenged the spot, and in order to win those challenges the result needs to change the outcome of the play. Since it was ruled no touchdown, the challenge was 'unsuccessful'. Or at least that how it is in the field of play... you don't win a challenge of a first down spot if the ball is advanced 1 foot, but still ends up short of the line to gain. (Or at least that is how it has been for years).
The problem is there was no reason for the ref to shoot it there originally. I have no idea what he saw there. One of the worst spot of all time since he was right there.

Second the replay was obvious he was in. Yet NY decided they didn't want the TD

I feel bad for Jackson; he’s overmatched today. I will say that a lot of people, not just on here but in the media as well, really liked what Jackson has done, but you just can’t win in the playoffs if you can’t throw the ball.

Remember what I posted at halftime? If Harbaugh didn't go to Flacco, it means he's totally committed to LJ going forward and did not want to ruffle feathers. The fact he is not replacing him means the Flacco era is officially dead and it's Lamar Jackson's team. We kind of knew it before, but it's apparent now.

It is to the point they are ruining Jackson going forward. Pulling the bandaid at the half would not be as bad as this.

I don’t think they’re that bad a matchup. Good team, but Pats should be 3.5 point favorites.
I haven’t watched much of the league this year so I don’t know. I should’ve phrased that as:

Even if the Chargers are a worse matchup for the Patriots than Baltimore, I don’t care. They can’t lose enough for my liking.

You can't really win if your gameplan features a QB leading the team in rushing attempts.

Bill Polian is that you?
I’ve been saying it throughout their 6-1 run. He can’t throw the football. No QB survives that, except maybe Cam Newton, and he’s a better passer than Jackson.

Got it, I agree. Plus, I’d like to see Rivers win if not New England.

Is Harbaugh trying to shoot his way out of Baltimore? (Insert your Baltimore joke here) Him not giving Flacco a shot here is like Costanza dragging the MFY WS trophies around the parking lot tied to the back of his car.
