CAPE

The seasonal models aren't useful at this point. We are pretty much there, and none of them have depicted anything remarkably different since like August.

Here ya go- I am lazy tonight so here is what AI says(not perfect, but captures the general idea), and you and I both know this is 'typical' of la Nina winter storms in our region: A Northward-Displaced Jet Stream During a La Niña winter, the Pacific jet stream shifts much farther north across North America. [1, 2] The Missing Southern Track: Unlike El Niño, which features a strong, moisture-rich southern jet stream tracking across the Gulf of Mexico and directly up the East Coast, La Niña suppresses this southern branch. [1, 2, 3] The Continental Route: Instead, storms primarily track across the northern tier of the United States or the Ohio Valley. These are often fast-moving continental systems (like Alberta Clippers) that lack deep subtropical moisture while traveling over land. [1, 2] 2. Offshore Cyclogenesis (Later Development) Because these northern storms travel over dry land, they remain relatively weak and disorganized while passing over inland regions of the Mid-Atlantic. [1] The Gulf Stream Spark: It is only when the system’s energy finally moves offshore and encounters the stark temperature contrast of the warm Atlantic waters (the Gulf Stream) that it finds the thermal energy and moisture required to rapidly intensify. This delayed strengthening means the low-pressure system matures "later" in its lifecycle, positioning its center well off the coast rather than inland. 3. The "Inland Dry vs. Coastal Wet" Divide The offshore positioning of the storm center directly dictates who receives precipitation: [1] Inland Regions Starve for Moisture: Because the storm intensifies far out at sea, its main moisture field is pulled eastward into the Atlantic. Behind the storm, a brisk northwest flow pulls cold, dry continental air down from Canada, suppressing precipitation and keeping inland regions under dry spells. Coastal Areas Get Clipped: Even though the center of the Nor'easter or coastal storm is far offshore, these systems are massive. The western edge of the rotating storm shield—along with strong onshore winds—can still wrap around and clip the immediate coastline and the I-95 corridor

Say what you want about this guy, but hard to argue. This team is not easily fixable. https://www.si.com/nfl/ravens/onsi/major-lamar-jackson-injury-update-and-4-key-takeaways-from-ravens-third-straight-defeat-01m6ce2hvqpw

lol that's up to Lamar. He might want to move on given the current state of this team. Even though he is perceived by some as being a bit past his prime given his style of play, and injury prone(today was not an example), he will have multiple suitors. Maybe Lamar should have agreed to an extension, or maybe EDC did a shitty job trying to get that done. Who knows. At this point his future as a Raven is up in the air.

One thing EDC did right although it wasn't intentional lol.

Decent chance we won't see Lamar on the field again this season. I guess there are a few young players that will get a shot now. Adam Randall being one- the owner's pick. Henry isnt what he once was esp behind this OL. The young TEs need more playing time. Andrews looks pretty bad. Another EDC decision that doesnt look good.

DeCosta needs to be held accountable for this OL. Inexcusable, despite the injuries at center. None of those guys were the answer after Linderbaum walked. EDC failed to draft / build even a mediocre line. The result has been catastrophic.

That was obvious lol

That looks long term. Maybe the season? Damn.

It will be a scrappy loss. Next week they are home against a top 5 team. At least Fagnano will get most of the reps in practice.

LOL they wont trade him. He has a year left on his contract. He either signs with the ravens, or hits FA. Come on dude. Pay attention.

The D and Josh Allen's erraticness are keeping them in it. Can we get a little offense?

They will be 4-4 with a home game next week, with Fagnano getting reps in practice. I wanna see what this dude can do.

The defense in playing well. See how long that lasts.

JFC Loop needs to go

Fagnano is the man for the rest of the game!

LOL No one is blaming him ffs. You so often miss the point. He was offered a contract that would make him the highest paid QB in the game before the season, and he decided to wait. That decision could work against him if the ravens end up 7-10.

But he doesnt just stand in the pocket and get the ball out quick a lot of the time- he moves around and buys time for receivers to get open, which is a skill, but puts him at risk of injury at times. That's how his ankle injury happened- sometimes he holds the ball too long trying to make a downfield throw, when he should run it for a few yards or throw it away.

Defense actually hanging in there. The OL and Huntley's mediocre passing ability proving to be very problematic.

You are naive.

He is gonna be 30. How much you wanna give him and for how long knowing the state of the team and his style of play as he gets older? Alonso will end up playing his best years for a loser if he plays out his contract.. Different situation.

Oh shit Fagnano is active. Pleasssse

You are proving my point. This team needs a rebuild. Lamar is injury prone. Why give him a record breaking contract under those circumstances? EDC had been bad but he isnt that dumb.

Fagnano is inactive today. If Lamar is out(likely) they need to play him. Huntley is a career backup with limited passing ability.

Lamar and his mom's gamble to not get an extension done before the season may not pay off if this is a multiple injury lost season for him. Ravens will likely move on(given how bad the defense is) but some other desperate team will probably overpay.
