It was the 1 but it was a long 1. And Huntley's body is behind the 1.

I don't really remember that end of half sequence too well now because it's been shadowed by what came after it but I do remember being mad we didn't score a TD. Saying we needed a touchdown there. I'll have to go back and relive it.

griping about a few individual playcalls after a loss and calling for the coaches heads, a tradition unlike any other

(G-Ro should go, but last night he did okay and his offense scored the same number of points as the Vaunted Joe Burrow Offense)

So uh, the Vikings / Giants game was fun and I really appreciate that the Vikings were 11-1 in one-score games this year, with the 1 loss being in the playoffs. I think I said something about hoping that it would happen but I'm too lazy to look up the post.

I took the octopath less travelered,

And it made one-eighth the difference.
Vikings playoff bullshit finally ran out when it met Giants playoff bullshit, but that was a legit good game and the Vikings could do some damage next year with a better defense.

Meanwhile there's still a non-zero chance we get three NFC East teams in the divisional round.

Why are we talking about a garbage loser team like the Ravens when the dynamic and sexy Cincinnati Bengals are right there?

Perhaps we should talk about how fun it is watching Burrow throw dimes to Chase, and how fun it'll be to watch Allen and Burrow go at it in the playoffs.

I believe Mahomes come out and hits both Allen and Burrow with a chair, grabs a mic and says doesn't see any winners here, just two losers, so he guesses he just gets to go straight to the Super Bowl, then Roger Goodell comes out and says that's not how we do things around here, Pat.

Have both sides be the offense and see which end can score a TD more quickly.

You could do each side once, and do every permutation. Hell, throw the Jags in too, they've earned it.

And here I was going to say something dumb like "Each possession is two of the three teams playing each other. The Bills offense plays the Chief's Defense; the Chief's offense plays the Bengal's defense, then the Bengal's offense plays the Bills' Defense. This switches each quarter (so the Bills O plays the Bengals' D and so on).

I skipped most of the Jags/Chargers game the first time around, so I went back and watched it on condensed. Still incredible. Jags D deserves a lot of credit for some tough stops, especially after being put in so many terrible situations.

I mean, if we're going Tony Khan pro wrestling, then Mahomes will break his foot, Josh Allen will go on a spiteful tirade and get into a fight, getting half of the playoff field suspended and somehow the Lombardi will wind up on Peyton Manning because he was the only one available.

This kind of QB sneak that QBs do where they hold the ball out front and try to jump over is new though. i'm shocked that plays like last night don't happen more often.

That play only happened that way because a bunch of poo poo consecutively happened.

Jermaine Pratt successfully guessed exactly where Huntley was going to try and pop over the line, and bent him backwards.

Logan Wilson was in a good position to get a solid punch on the football.

Huntley's arms were forced to separate and he batted the football away from the pile instead of into that massive pile of ravens or into the end zone where it would have been a touchback.

When the ball did squirt out it just happened to hit Hubbard in the hands and Hubbard wasn't engaged with anybody.


It kind of bothers me that people are acting like Huntley did something wildly irresponsible. He overestimated the push his line got him, But I don't necessarily feel like that play was inherently any riskier than throwing into a crowd in the end zone.

if he wasn't apposed to jump because it was much too far, then he ruined the play regardless of how ruined it ended up. but i don't know the real circumstances. i don't know any of it. and i never will know in my life.

"Motherfucking, what's that big dragon shit? That orange motherfucker. Charizard."

I’m willing to very magnanimously offer the Ravens a trade of Dennis Allen for John Harbaugh, no extra compensation required. The Saints will even take Greg Roman, I’m sure he’d have fun with Taysom and it’s not like he can throw anyway.

There's situations where Greg Roman can be great. Even this year. That last running play in the first Pittsburgh game to ice it was a fantastic playcall and design, maybe one of the best ever. But he gets tunnel vision hard and just forgets to make his passing concepts functional at all.

The thing is the Ravens don't have to trade John Harbaugh for an even worse clown. We can give someone else a chance or even pursue a guy like Sean Payton. Or maybe even Jim Harbaugh :D

I'd be ok with John and Jim Harbaugh as co-coaches. That could be fun

Harbaugh’s future is pretty straightforward imo. Roman’s contract is apparently up; if he’s resigned then fire both of them into the sun. If they can’t work out a deal with Jackson because the relationship between him and Harbaugh was ruined by the playcalling then fire him.
