This sucks. He's been great for us on the field. Will likely miss the start of next season depending on the severity too.

I actually approve of Campbell's decisions on 4th down. Take away all the specific details and consider this: you have the lead in the second half of a big game. Do you play it safe or play to win?

I say play to win.

But going for the 4th doesn’t change the math that much. It’s a three score lead either way

Bateman fails to understand the basics of NFL spacing and the Ravens punt because of it. The guy is so talented but he just cannot get the details right. This is his 3rd season with Lamar, they should be 100% mind meld at this point. I was so happy when the Ravens got him and he's been such a disappointment.

Is there a Rashod Bateman but competent and not injury prone somewhere in the draft?

yeah Bateman didn't take direction well but Lamar's way too fast to call that "boxed in." it's Lamar loving Jackson. there's a huge lane to his right if he just takes off. Purdy made more heads up plays with his legs

their kicker is absolute butt though. the math isn't as good for him. so really it's a two score lead either way

If you don’t trust your kicker that much you have a much bigger issue than anything else

picking up the 4th and making that kick by their kicker are probably a push so it doesn't really matter.


either way the conversions are not why they lost the game. i honestly didn't think the lions were gonna be in that game at all if the 49ers showed up which took them an entire half to do. the 49ers are one of the most stacked rosters in the league with an insanely good offensive HC. when they actually show up they're a crazy hard out. Lions are young, feisty, and have a great offense but if the offense sputters a little and the other team remembers to exploit the gently caress out of their bad defense, yea that'll do it.

lmao of course Kelce is good. he's just also become massively over exposed. welcome to being a fan of a team in the midst of a heel turn. luckily mahomes is very fun to watch and Andy Reid is too lovable to be a true villain. still tho, ya'll can go ahead and lose this one

He's fine. The greats find a way to get a late 4th quarter lead via laterals, though. Conspicuously absent from his resume.

Kelce's game is amazing. He's never been as fast or strong as Gronk was, but that's not really his style of play. I don't think I've ever seen a player who finds and attacks the soft spot in a zone like he does. Despite being the #1 threat every time he's on the field, he will consistently find himself wide open with no defender within five yards of him. It's probably why he's 34 and still playing at an elite level whereas Gronk was completely beat to hell and had to retire younger. I'd say Kelce probably has better hands than Gronk too. Not anywhere near the blocker as Gronk, but perhaps that also has contributed to his longevity. Gronk infamously broke his arm blocking on a kick.

Ravens Turnover differential in playoff games since 2018:

‘18 L vs LAC: -2
‘19 L vs TEN: -3
‘20 W @ TEN: 0
‘20 L @ BUF: -1
‘22 L @ CIN: -1
‘23 W vs HOU: 0
‘23 L vs KC: -3

That's an oof. Explains Lamar's playoff struggles better than anything else I think.

The two Lions decisions I have a problem with are running it with DMo on the goal line and burning a timeout, which really killed any chance of winning. The other is going for it on 4th and 3, specifically the playcall. 3 yards to go and you come out in an Empty Back Shotgun. So they don't even have to respect your run game. WTF was that?
