You know it's a weird season in the AFC when the Chiefs and Ravens could be 6-6, lol

They have fucked up in every way imaginable. Cant wait to see what they do in the second half!

Defense has done pretty well though. Have a feeling they will get torched in the second half because the offense is completely inept.

And look and behold...they are! And Nate Wiggins being out could be the final nail in this one, smh

Mental, mental, mental...that's what these mistakes and shooting themselves in the foot come down to. And that ultimately goes back to the HC. C'mon Biscotti...ya gotta make the change end of this season.

I think I we know which TE the Ravens should make a priority to sign in the offseason.

It needs to be Likely. I'm willing to be wrong on this--I think this year is an aberration as Years 2 and 3 were very good. Cheap 1-year prove-it deal. Mark Andrews is zero help in the playoffs--at least Likely has a TD!

And who did Emery Jones come in to replace??? Vorhees!!

Cant make this shit up. FIRE HARBAUGH.

I'm starting to wonder if it's a matter of hin playing better on the left side than the right.

WTH was that by Lamar?

Notice how Faalele got pushed into him...Lamar uses one hand to try and bounce off...strip sack. So that was 90% on the guard

And look which lineman got pushed into Lamar and helped make that fumble? Smh

Oh okay then (this afternoon AFD from LWX)

LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
A more active weather pattern is likely to build over region late
this weekend and continue to the early parts of next week bringing
multiple chances for wintry precipitation. The first chance in the
long term period for wintry precipitation will occur Sunday into
early Monday morning as a strong sfc low passes to the north with
it`s attending front moving through our region on Sunday. As
precipitation associated with the front moves into the region, cold
air in place ahead of the boundary may allow for some front end
wintry precipitation. Additional wintry precipitation will be
possible on the back end side of the front as cold air rushes into
the region. Model guidance continues to have considerable spread on
precipitation types with freezing rain and snow possible. Based
recent trends,the best chance for impactful wintry precipitation at
this time will likely be in areas along and west of the I-81
corridor.

A brief lull in precipitation is likely on Monday, but a strong
coastal low passing to the south of the region will bring another
round of precipitation to the region Tuesday into Wednesday. Weather
models have a range of solutions for the Tuesday event with some
solutions having a combination heavy rain and some wintry
precipitation and other solutions indicating the chance for a
decent accumulating snow event. National Blend of Model plume
graphics really shows the uncertainty with snow solutions ranging
from  0 inches to near 15 inches of snow. At this time, we continue
to have low confidence in the wintry threat early next week, but
it`s a period of note worth keeping an eye on for planning purposes.

0-15 inches? Sounds like a CWG forecast

that was a good one. that is my measuring stick for a trackable threat. If the 18z euro or 6z euro have it..its close enough to take our interest to the next level

6 days is never close enough, lol But I feel like we can at least say we may see our first flakes of the season  All else is fantasy for now.

Looks like a graphic pirated from that bafoon, Mark Margavage, who is trying to claim there will be a major SSW with a reversal around xmas. I can assure you, there will not.

Did the SSW forecasted for the end of this month ever happen? Lol

Got a model run spitting this out at Day 7 and mostly crickets? We've matured.

Yeah why bother? Lol Although I don't care how far out in lala land it is...clown maps like this still make me mad just because of the mere image of the fringeline nobody can explain

The OL is NOT good. Especially the guards. He drafted Emery Jones- a raw talent, but knowing he wouldn't be available anytime soon coming off surgery. What other moves did he make to improve the line? He was also gaslighting about how improved Faalele was, will get better, etc. Why did he not replace Warhop given his track record? His franchise QB is paying the price for the piss-poor line play.

Also did nothing to address the OL issues leading up to the trade deadline. To be clear, I don't think he should be fired but these are the reasons some think he should go.

Yeah but that's kinda dumb to say fire him for that. Failure on the OL is not a fireable offense for crying out loud. Do people realize how monumental of a change that would be? There are other parts of this team EDC did a great job with drafting and building. (Even trades he made on defense helped the pass rusher not be AS awful and freed up KH) You can say he royally screwed up on the line without jumping all the way over there. People don't know what a bad GM actually looks like, lol And EDC has not been what is preventing us from winning a SB: Harbaugh is. 2023 was a prime example of that. EDC almost made that team unstoppable if the Titans owner hadn't vetoed the Henry trade.

Now, an aside about the trade deadline: You don't see OLs traded very often that time of year--it seems like teams are less willing to break up a line even in a losing season.

Even so...he needed to do more in the off-season. But I suspect it's gonna be different this coming off-season because Lamar is probably gonna demand it before signing anything!

So apparently some think EDC should be fired too...I'm sorry but I don't understand. He is not a bad GM!

We're in a tenuous spot. You wait all year for winter and then we torch like it's nothing. Meanwhile the atmosphere has concepts of a pattern for snow that's perpetually two weeks away.

Heh...see what ya did there

Because that's too far out. Underestimate the SE ridge at your own peril.

Not that it would have to be correlation, but...last year was one year where if ya underestimated it you were right, lol

I'm kinda at peace with whatever happens this season...my lowest bar is to just make the playoffs. After that I expect us to get the boot right away, and hopefully that'll force a change. We can't go for the SB this year in our current condition.

Side note: I learned this week that our O-line coach has been fired 9 times, and all his O-lines got worse, smh Had no idea he had that bad of a track record! Needless to say he won't be back next year, lol

Another sucky Ravens team performance. But a win is still a win. 

Sucky offense...defense is what kept us in it.

This why I don’t look at that thread. Can’t cancel it if there was a chance for big snow that disappeared if I never knew it existed to begin with. 

People should just keep expectations neutral and view everything within the broader context of where we've been the last 8 years and what enso state we're in and go from there--instead of going up and down with the LR modeling and the inevitable chaos of tracking an actual threat.

If pattern changes are almost built in rushed in guidance then why not develop a system that does not do that?

Over last couple winters we’ve seen gigantic failure anywhere from 36 hours to 15 days out.   Very few if any positive such surprises .  

 

I think you're expecting things that the computers are simply not advanced enough for those things not to happen sometimes. Why not just...accept the current limitations/biases and set forecasts/expectations from there instead of railing against the failures as if it's something easy to fix or some conspiracy? Technology simply isn't there yet. NWP (if I'm using that term correctly) is leaps and bounds better than it was 25-30 years ago but it still isn't a crystal ball! (and someone can correct me if I'm off base on any of that).

Can not deny this pattern’s been going on for a few months now where guidance keeps wanting to push a ridge into the northeast and it keeps not happening. With our luck this will flip just when we need it to happen for snow chances. But look at our area and the northeast for Friday evening vs a few days ago. 

Not sure of the similarities to now, but...I remember a lot of SE ridge can kicks last year!

meh. I find that hard to believe given the coupled SSW and MJO progression. should get quite favorable after the 10th, not the other way around

Did the SSW actually happen/still on track to happen?

You think that’s low?

I think he's making a joke about it looking like it says negative 16 inches, lol

35 minutes ago, CAPE said:

The root of the problem is the interior OL, and EDC and Harbaugh should be made to pay for sticking with 2 subpar guards. Calling Ben Cleveland????

I'm not sure EDC deserves to be fired over this. He just needs to fix the dang thing this off-season. Now Harbaugh is another matter

I think it will be better than January.

But that would be kinda atypical for a nina, no?

Should I get excited about this winter? A lot of talk about below avg temps and above avg precipitation. Can't wait to start tracking again and eating popcorn watching people argue snowfall maps.   This has been one boring summer/fall. Needs some weather excitement!

In my amateur opinion...I wouldn't get excited about any winter before it happens--especially in this current cycle of underperformance we've been in with this -PDO. Just keep expectations neutral...it is a nina so you know the potential of those is limited even in better conditions anyway.
