IMO this isn't so much a Lamar problem, as it is a Harbaugh problem. He is 1 for 4 in AFC championship games, and has won 3 playoff games since winning the SB in 2013. They were undisciplined (multiple 15 yard penalties) yesterday, and he apparently approved Monken's awful game plan. Agree he is a bit of phony and very corny, and too heavy handed with the religious stuff. Not everyone is a Christian. Very presumptuous.

Need that confluence for a decent surface High and cold enough low level temps (if precip comes far enough north). Gonna be hard to win here.

Mid Feb into early March has been the target for a more favorable pattern for while now on the extended tools. That hasn't changed. Seeing it at the end of ens runs now. Getting lucky with something sooner would be a bonus but a lot would have to break right.

Would love nothing more than to see Harbaugh out and Mike McDonald the new HC. Keep Monken but get his mind right. That won't happen though, and McDonald will probably end up in Washington.

IDC. This was the AFC championship game. To get to THE game. The fucking goal. They completely deviated from their MO. Their bread and butter. Literally played right into the Chief's hands defensively. Buffalo ran all over them last week. They are 27th against the run. Ravens are the Kings of running the ball. And if you want to go pass happy, run slants and other higher percentage pass plays, not slow developing down the field plays against a good pass rush. Low percentage stuff. It was as if they were trying to lose..

Agree. Questions need to be answered properly. That was a debacle.

Roman had a HS level passing scheme. Ravens have better receivers now too. Most of the time they were blanketed yesterday. Monken played right into the strength of their defense. Tried to trick em I guess by just flinging passes downfield all game and refusing to run it against a defense that doesn't stop the run. Mind boggling.

Around mid month is probably the next shot at something after the 5th-6th. The massive Hudson ridge is gone with an improving NA and out west there is a PNA ridge with STJ undercutting. Hint of waves ejecting eastward. Have to see how much cold might be available.

You have zero control over the outcome of a professional sporting event. Same with the weather. I am sure you have other sources of happiness.

Yep. One of the 3 carries for Gus. Only weakness of the Chiefs D- stopping the run.

He isn't getting fired. Nor is Harbaugh. Doesn't matter what I think.

I suppose if you don't want to see the Mahomeboy-Swifties win, SF is the best bet.

The 2 playoff games were really rough offensively. The Pittsburgh game was awful too, despite resting some players. The Steelers were totally mediocre with a third string QB. That is a game they should have won with a good game plan. Sure, easy to say it didn't matter. But evaluating the last 3 offensively, quite a fall off after that Miami game. They attacked them appropriately given their defensive weaknesses. Not so much the case since then.

Rigged?

Until next Fall.. Go Os!

The WAR! They lost it.

Although the way the Ravens refused to run the ball( as the top rushing team in the league) against a defense whose weakness is on the ground, it kind of makes ya wonder. And given that they chose to be pass happy for unknown reasons, they refused to throw high percentage passes to keep drives going and Mahomes off the field. The truth is the Ravens preparation and in-game coaching adjustments were absolutely fucking pitiful. Not rigged, just plain old bad football.

Now it falls apart for Detroit. Fozz knows why.

The offense was ill prepared in both playoff games. Awful in the first half last week but overcame it against a lesser opponent mostly by running the ball(imagine that). This week they never really got it together and there were no apparent adjustments at halftime. Just kept winging it downfield. Low percentage stuff. That needs to be looked at.

lol Fozz

And they lead the world in rushing lol. I wouldn't mind if someone hired Monken as their head coach.

Unfathomable stat- Ravens RBs had 6 carries.

It was atrocious. Cocky like- we gonna pass on yo asses even though we are number one in rushing, and that's the weakness of your D. Not to mention they have a good pass rush and are actually good at defending the pass.

Not saying fire him, but admittedly I think this team might be better off going forward with a younger, more detail oriented coach and a different methodology. The message gets stale after a while. How many championship games has this team been in under Harbaugh? 4 right? 1 for 4 is not gonna get you in with the upper echelon of coaches. Bottom line.

Minus that Super bowl year when Flacco became Joe Montana, this is how it always ends under Harbaugh. No rigging required. Easy prediction: His brother will have the Chargers in the SB in the next 2 years. Might beat the Ravens to get there lol.
