I tried watching Flacco on Monday night but I just loving couldn't. It was like PTSD watching him need 4 yards and him throwing in 2 yards and the receiver getting exactly 1 yard after the catch every single time.

My dad got so annoyed with my negativity during the game he threatened to never go to a game with me again. We did get our poo poo together late in the game but for some reason that game stuck with me and that feeling of unease always crept back. That's just kind of where I remember this sort of thing starting. In 2000 I wasn't negative at all and the only time I really thought we would lose was at Tennessee in the playoffs. lmao

So what actually happened is Jimmy G went 166 yards, 1 td and 1 int against virtually zero pressure. Jameis was on the high side as far as pressure faced. e: guess you already know, my bad sharknado slashfic posted:I actually believe he's genuine Yeah maybe played up a bit on occasion but it's 95% genuine imo Despera posted:I gave Sam Darnold mono you filthy slut. well go to his house and take it back!!

I had to watch Joe plod for 10 years and I am ready for some goddamned touchdowns Did you watch the Broncos game? He looks like he's up to his waist in molasses, it's almost hard to watch. I know it's not that surprising, he's a year old older so he's even slower but I guess I'd forgotten how athletically challenged he was because he didn't play much last year

Despera posted:I remember watching that game. It was 17-6 and the bears never came close. They held the ball 35 mins. They were up 6-3 late in the 3rd quarter before we finally pulled our heads out of our asses. They seriously could have beaten us. They ended up being a very overachieving 13-3 team that year that got bumped off by Philly in the playoffs. They had two weeks where they had these miracle comeback type wins back to back in midseason with INT returns by this DB Mike Brown. The whole guarantee thing happened after Jamal Lewis went down. And that's a big reason we struggled that whole season. But on the whole we still made the playoffs and won a game. But back then it felt so disappointing.

Despera posted:Ill give you credit that was a visceral remembering of the trauma inflicted by a game we won by 2 scores 19 years ago. It was a pretty suspenseful game. It was our first game of the season and we were really going to see what things looked like with lots of people expecting us to crash and burn with Lewis down. But we couldn't lose to the Bears. They were crap! Their QB was shane matthews. We were going to stomp them and they wouldn't score a single point. So our defense is out first and they put on a great drive and almost score a touchdowns but get 3 points and the lead. That's when the nerves started setting in like what is happening? Why aren't we getting pressure? Why aren't we up by 4 scores yet? What's going on here? I spent the better part of a month arguing with this Bears guy about how the Bears had ZERO chance in the game even with no Jamal Lewis and we were going to beat them like 38-0. I really did not want to have to go back there and eat crow. I was just a young kid then too remember.

I even remembered having a bad dream about the Ravens Bears game like a week before it happened. We still won it and kind of like we did in the actual game, real low scoring and stuff. We took the lead on a Brandon Stokely 65-yard reverse play for a TD.

We were able to run the ball that day very well. I loved that game because our worst game in 2000 was against Miami where they beat us 19-6 in a monsoon on Dan Marino night.

Kawalimus sounds like a anyone who who grew a long time fan of Cleveland sports. Everything is going to go wrong at any minute in the worst way no matter how impossible it seems. I had family that refused to watch the 2016 NBA finals inside the last minute because they were convinced it was going to go to poo poo. He's the one acceptable Ravens fan.

Bears even had an exciting first round pick playing well! Also anthony Thomas was better than Jamal Lewis and was unfairly maligned and underutilized Then Hugh douglas broke Miller's shoulder in the playoffs and it all went to hell again

But I was young and didn't know any better, and they had been 4-12 the year before. So that's why I was expecting a stomping. That's just the sort of thing I was saying back then and indicative of my mindset back before that game was played vs my mindset after the game happened.

Frankly I'm a big fan of low sporting expectations but god drat it really is nice to root for a great team and just expect them to make the play they need to win, like the 2010-5 Blackhawks or the jordan bulls of "ok Michael can just go win this. Hooray!! "
