CAPE

Ninas usually manage to screw us one way or another. We do much better with the southward displaced jet of a Nino, but even that seems to be shifting lately.

I was a tad perplexed that on almost every planned option today, Lamar took it, and Dobbins ended up with so few carries. Most of Lamar's yards came from improvising on pass plays.

I think we are mostly just bored with the waiting, and having a little fun with it. At least I am. I still think we are in decent shape beyond the next week. Subject to change ofc.

"He will never beat Mahomes"

Its been relatively cold, which I enjoy even if it doesn't snow, given how warm/hot and humid it is for 5- 6 months of the year now. I would prefer it to be cold enough to actually snow though.

Incredible. Getting a model to show a few pixels of blue over us is more difficult than pushing out a hard turd when constipated.

That is it, plus a strong Pac jet, at least to this point. Yes we want a trough out there, but not a massive vortex sitting in the GoA. That is one way to get Pac air loaded into our source region. Problem is the base state in a Nina is not like it is in a Nino, so it is more difficult to keep a "moderate" vortex back towards the Aleutians. Upshot is we are always up against it on the PAC side in a Nina. Without maintaining a perfect balance, we end up being fire hosed either way. I think it is more hostile lately than in previous years. That is another topic for another thread.

It is pretty crazy how difficult it is to get a random snow shower or a light mix event anymore. That sort of thing used to happen even in pretty crappy patterns. Literally nothing last winter, and nothing so far this winter to this point for a large part of this sub forum. The worm needs to turn lol.

I will keep it really simple. No matter how "pretty" things look at h5, with the reds and the blues in the places we like- if sufficient cold isn't available, and it doesn't snow, it effing sucks. That is the simple reality, regardless of what historical analogs may suggest.

Yeah he has really stepped up his game during the winning streak. Great to see.

I said this last week- the Ravens finished the season with the largest point differential- better than the Packers, and the Chiefs- just as they did last year. That might not seem like a big deal, but historically teams that do that go deep into the playoffs, and often win it all. Didn't work out last year. I'm not sayin', just sayin'...

Weirdly, I think the Titans are the worst matchup for the Ravens. I know they have not done well against KC, but they haven't been as impressive the last half of the season, and Mahomes has been hit/sacked a lot.. They do always manage to win though.

That was an atrocious call. It should have been easier.

It was Lamar and the D. Henry had what, 40 yds?

A tad too exciting for me.

Defense needs to do something big. And I don't mean give a up a huge play lol.

Why wont they give the ball to Dobbins? Pissing me off.

Well that drive was a fail.

Ravens D has not been getting a lot of turnovers lately...might be time.

Christ give it to Dobbins.

He is amazing. 310 lbs and versatile. Just what they need. esp after the Boyle injury.

That's more like it.

It has been competitive. The Ravens should be able to control the clock and sustain long drives on this defense though.

Roman will make the proper adjustments.

They supposedly cant rush the passer either.
