honestly if they can't win this game the entire coaching staff should be canned by the time the night game airs.

Seriously thought they were going to lose at the end.

They did all they could to let the giants win but got the W

they need some serious soul searching in the off season.

MASSIVE PATTERN CHANGE in the west including Texas and the Californian Sierran Cordillera means well above normal in Austin alongside increased storm chances in the Californian and Navadan Cordillera in the coming days. It would be nice to see a record Atmospheric River smash without mercy right into Mammoth Mountain, dumping meters upon meters of snow upon Mammoth. Palisades Tahoe has yet to open!!! They may not manage that until early 2026 lmao! This ski season may indeed turn out to be the latest seasonal opening ever experienced in Palisades since the resort opened up 75 years ago!

We shall see.

Meanwhile in the East, continued serious Arctic conditions persist for the Mid Atlantic with a brief mildup and beneficial rains Thursday BUT more cold air and more snow chances continue.

Although I'd prefer for this pattern to stick around, I have zero complaints for the first half of this month. Running a -8 on temps, had 11.1 inches of snow and measurable snow OTG for 9 days and a T for three more.

-8 for the month is bonkers.

1962 was -7.7.  1989 was -13.3.  Both also bonkers, by my memory

Ha, need fewer injuries, new plays teams don’t have on video to study Daniels, a slightly easier schedule, better defense, healthy star qb. Last year was a bit fluke-ish with a lot of luck for some of those wins.

I didn't start keeping records until 1979, but 12/89 was awesome here. -10.8 and 17.1 inches of snow with 25 days of snow OTG!

that's true - there were easily 4 or 5 games last season that could've gone the other way.  But the blow outs this year, just total lack of defense.  All the mistakes.  Hopefully they can sort it out, because outside of the Caps and the Spirit, DC sports is struggling right now.

As unlikely as it is, if the Ravens win out, would they win the tiebreaker over the Steelers?

If they win out they win the division.
