We were that close to blowing out a good ravens team by like 14 points.  

Watch out when we get just a few injured players back. 

Agree with you here.  The Ravens played a horrible game however.  Has Lamar already been figured out or was it just a bad game for him?  I kept expecting their offense to just take off and open the game up but it never happened.  LJ missed open passes, there was no running game and Andrews was quiet.

He's put up 29 & 28 against two of the top five defenses in the league with a revolving door of personnel.

Yes, we can all point out a half dozen plays that didn't work out.  But what about all the ones that did?  And how can you be sure the problem was execution and not the play call. 

Playcalling in the first half was horrible. I'll give him credit for adjusting in the 2nd half unlike the first 2 games of the season. 

I'll take that back. I thought the Steelers game was good as well

I don’t know if you watched any of the Bengals/ravens game the previous week but it wasn’t like the ravens were just destroying the bengals offensively. They only scored 20 points on offense. They got a late touchdown on a Patrick queen fumble recovery. This is the 4th week in a row that Lamar Jackson hasn’t thrown for 200 yards and three out of the last four weeks he has been under 60% completion percentage. The bigger issue for the ravens is they can’t get their running game going as teams have figure them out and Ingram looks like a shell of himself. This was the first time all year Lamar went over 100 yards rushing. In four of his six games he’s been under 55 yards rushing.

Cut Djax in the offseason 

For cap purposes it helps more if he can be traded this year.  Here is what it does to the cap if traded this year.

Cap now.

Cap if traded this year

Cap if cut next year

He's not really from the Belicheck tree. Yes he played under him, but never coached under him.

I wouldn’t say based on nothing at all. Dillard said growing up he hated football and wanted to quit multiple times. He said something like "Football chose me over me choosing Football.” He’s got a Danny Watkins vibe to him.

Did this come out before he was drafted?  I remember the article where Stoutland skyped with him right before the draft to make sure he would be the right fit.  

You would think something like this would be plenty of evidence for them NOT to draft him, let alone trade up in the 1st round for him.

So rather than a branch, he's more like the bench under the tree.

They made mistakes and missed plays too. We could've lost by 14 points just as easily.

Good comparison. He's more sturdy and durable than those rotting branches above him.

I would be super shocked if anybody gave up a first round pick. I would be surprised if anybody in the NFL gave up a first round pick for a running back anymore. Like the only player I think in the NFL a team would give up a first round pick for at the running back position is maybe Christian McCaffrey or Alvin Kamara. And I don’t even think Alvin Kamara even though he’s been sensational this year

Trading Sanders while he is on his rookie deal would be extremely stupid.  He's a very good RB.  He would need to be replaced with a higher round pick that may or may not be as good as him.  

Sanders out Thursday

Ertz expected to miss a month

Well this was at least fun to watch.

I don’t know I give Tennessee a ton credit for making Tannehill play as great as he is. I never saw him being a top 10 quarterback. If you look at his stats since he started last year they are as good as Patrick Mahomes (image doesn’t include yesterday’s stats)

 

Not to slight Tannenhill but having a consistently good running game that keeps the offense on time ahead of the chains and lots of stacked boxes makes qb play a lot easier and tannenhill fits that I like a glove as he a great game manager. He reminds me a lot of Alex Smith , smart, protects the ball, gets rid of it on time and can run when needed.

Nobody wants to play the Titans because you know you're in for a long day against a physical offense and defense. They play old school ball in an era where offenses are playing 4 and 5 WR sets and throwing the ball 50 times a game Titans are just lining up and beating teams up.

Eagles had a semblence of that in 2017, blount ayjayi were big physical backs behind a physical o line and they just wore teams out and it carried them to a super bowl 

I could easily see the Titans in the super bowl this year.

He coached under O'Brien, so more of a 2nd gen branch of the tree.

RIP running game

guess it's 100% on Wentz' shoulders now

Thankfully we only play two games between today and Nov 15th with two long breaks in there.

I don’t think they’re gonna wind up trading him. I think they’re just gonna play his contract out and then try to franchise him on his fifth year and then after that let him walk away. I don’t see him getting a second contract unless it’s team friendly. 

also I’m not against trading Miles Sanders if you got proper compensation for him. Which means more valuable pics then the value he brings to the team. Which is going to be hard to match. And I don’t think they would get more than maybe a late second round pick. I love Sanders the player, I hate the fact he doesn’t always finish games and appears likely to have soft tissue injuries throughout his career.

OK, so Wentz, Kelce, and ???

But I'm sure Doug's play calling will be the issue.

It was out there pre-draft but Kapadia wrote about it after he was drafted

Hopefully that shuts Howie and being buyers down. Sucks it could hurt the Eagles being able to get rid of him this season

That or Wentz being a turnover machine
