this jesus christ. i feel like im taking crazy pills. this is basically a bog standard ravens team except the qb will also run for 70 yards and fumble like 3 times. i guess that’s exciting somehow, but ball control style offenses arent exactly riveting

its not a bad offense, not nearly as some of the unwatchable ravens trash, and actually suited decently to face certain high scoring teams like the chiefs or steelers, but good god its anything but exciting.

I love watching it personally. It's great when Jackson successfully tricks them and breaks a big gain. I never understood why passing is considered inherently more "exciting" than running. To me if you have a successful rushing offense like we're doing now it's just as good.

We've gotten lucky enough to play lots of bad run defenses in a row so if we start getting stifled a lot it will suck to watch. But right now I'm liking it.


Early Michael Vick was maybe my favorite non-Ravens QB of all time.

yeah I love watching him get crushed from behind and fumble the ball on a possible game winning drive, or missing a throw on a screen pass. i love holding my breath when he actually drops back to pass. haven't clenched my butthole this regularly since boller.

One of my favorite games I attended was in 2000 against the Cowboys. It was the first time John Madden did commentary on a Ravens game. Jamal Lewis just ran over the Cowboys defense. He had 28 carries for 180-some yards but never had a run longer than 18 yards. So that's over 6 yards per carry. It was so great to watch and the Ravens won 27-0. It was one of Troy Aikman's last games. Shannon Sharpe had a touchdown too.

Where do you download games from?

Back when I lived in Korea I had game-pass. Before when I lived out of market I had some source for torrents, I think it was pirate bay but this was like pre-2010.

At this point if you claim you don't know how I am avoiding financing the NFL I assume you're being disingenuous, I've explained it enough times that you should be aware if you care enough to ask.

I actually wasn't aware of any available torrents. Obviously streams are everywhere but that's not super useful when I'm working through the game.

There are still some places to get them reliably, having just checked. If anyone would like that information PM me.

I'm glad the Bengals lost.


I'm glad because I'm not sure I would be able to hold myself to this decision if they had won.


I had an amazing seat for the game, and was perfectly placed to see the hit made on Giovanni Bernard. This is a kid who has been every bit the upstanding citizen, and builds schools in Haiti with his wealth. What I realized when I was asked to watch a player lower his eyes to the grass and drive the crown of his helmet through Gio's head over and over is that the NFL doesn't care at all about these people. I guess I always knew that but it really drove the point home.

The NFL reviewed the play to see whether their idiotic notion of what is and isn't a catch was held to. They reviewed the play to see whether Gio's wrist touched the ground. They reviewed the play to see if he was able to hold on to a bit of leather as he lost consciousness. They forced us to watch Ryan Shazier do exactly what they claim to be trying to prevent over twenty times. I finally came to terms with the fact that the reason the NFL doesn't make a more serious effort to enforce these penalties is because they don't give a drat about Giovanni Bernard. As I watched fans throw cans and bottles at the officials I realized that had more to do with the colors on the uniforms than the fact that that one hit will almost certainly have a major impact on the kid's life. I like the team because I like the players.

Players don't give a poo poo about personal fouls because they're called arbitrarily, and until the NFL makes personal fouls reviewable I am not consuming another second of football. I should stop outright regardless, but I love the game. I will miss chatting with y'all but I can't justify following a sport that has such flagrant disregard for the welfare of its players. I'll see y'all in other subforums.
