We signed Henry to a 2 yr deal I think.

I know it's over, but I'm glad the season didn't come down to Tucker missing a field goal or xp.

Team needs some sports therapist to come in and teach them how to deal with adversity.

Alot of tough decisions this offseason.

What to do with Marlon?

What to do with Stanley?

What to do with Bateman?

What to do with Oweh?

What FAs to bring in?

Who to draft?

What to do with Harbaugh?

Has the window closed?

I get that. But that flacco era was more of playing down to competition any particular game, imo.

But maybe I should have been more clear. This Lamar era can run up the score against bad /undisciplined teams and fire on all cylinders, but against a team that is solid/discipline they tense up in the tic for tat games where fundamentals matter.

I don't trust the Flacco era against against the Steelers in this wildcard like I did this Lamar era. Steelers lacked discipline & toughness so no worries about Lamar and company. Flacco era probably losses to Steelers.

But I do trust Flacco era against these bills and against chiefs in the next round.

And if Lamar doesn't fumble maybe we win. There's many plays on our end that we need to be pointing to before we complain about the refs.

The issue is that bare minimum you have to expect both teams to be on a level playing field. When the refs swing 3-7 points in a game decided by 2, that makes a huge difference.

They did that in the Flacco era too. Their record was especially horrible vs the Steelers, colts, and patriots.

In 2008 they were 0-4 vs the colts and Steelers with an absolute thrashing by the colts and giving away 3 games vs the Steelers with all of them coming down to the final 5 minutes.

In 2010 they led the league in blown 4th quarter leads, including vs Pittsburgh and New England with the division and the 1 seed on the line in a season where they tied Pittsburgh for best in the north.

In 2011 they lost 4 games to non playoff teams including a Monday night loss to a 5 win jaguars team when winning any of them would’ve clinched the top overall seed and then they blew it on 3 straight plays to lose the afc title game.

In 2013 they got blown out back to back weeks to end the year and miss the playoffs.

In 2014 the defense led the league in blown 4th quarter leads due to terrible scheming (especially in both losses to Cincinnati which cost them the north). In the playoffs they gave away a pair of 14 point leads while Joe threw a pair of the worst interceptions I’ve ever seen besides the 2 that Neil O’Donnell threw in Super Bowl 30 to end the season. That’s not acceptable against anyone.

In 2016 they nearly led the league in blown 4th quarter leads and against their biggest rival on Christmas night with the season on the line and a stop clinching the north for them, the defense folded and allowed a game winning drive that ended the season.

In 2017 they gave up a 50 yard touchdown at home vs a non playoff team on 4th and 10 when a stop would’ve clinched a playoff spot.

Playing down to competition in Flacco era....That was the biggest issue. Lamar era definitely wins those 2011 regular season games.

I'll have to comb through some older games, but i remember feeling nervous against bad teams and confident against good teams.

 

[Rosecrans]

Cant even really hate on the team too much right now

Team didn’t go out hoes like in years past

they actually fought and played well down the stretch

the Andrews fumble and drop on the the 2pt conversion killed us

this should’ve been a double digit comeback win if it wasn’t for that bytch ass nikka

get him off the team asap

7 years and this bum still doesn’t have a TD catch in the playoffs

settling for 3 after having first and goal at the 2 is all coaching too

Should’ve ran Henry or that sneak play

I always felt good going into games, but they were bad against good teams in the Flacco era.

0-4 in the regular season in 2008 vs the titans, colts, and Steelers which was the difference between the 6 seed and 1 seed. Winning either Pittsburgh game gets them the 2 seed at least.

In 2009 they were 1-5 during the season vs the bengals, Steelers, packers, and patriots and they lost the north by 1 game and tiebreakers.

In 2010 they blew late leads vs New England (10 point 4th quarter lead), Pittsburgh, and Atlanta. If they won just the New England game they jump from the 5 seed to the 1 seed by way of a better record than Pittsburgh and the same record as the pats with the head to head tiebreaker.

In 2012 they were 2-2 vs the Steelers, broncos, and patriots

In 2013 they were 2-4 vs the bengals, Steelers, broncos, and patriots and missed the playoffs by 1 game (with tiebreakers and 2 by outright record)

In 2014 they were 1-4 during the regular season vs the colts, Steelers, and Bengals and missed the division title by 1 game.

Has the window closed?

the only key free agent we have is Stanley

everybody else that we would want back is under contract

I dont think we will do much in free agency because guys like Hamilton,Likely,and Linderbaum are all up for an extension

honestly I wouldnt extend Linderbaum,hes overrated tome and gets pushed around too much but im sure they're gonna make him one of the highest paid centers

Stephens is a free agent but im sure they dont want his bum ass back

Ricard is a free agent but wont cost much if they want him back

the other guys like Mekari,Agholor,Ben Cleveland,Brent Urban,etc can all go

this offseason they need to get better in the trenches on both sides of the ball

every game we lost this year we got beat in the trenches

gotta get 2 new starting guards and draft Stanleys replacement even if we do resign him

oline should be the #1 priority

on defense they need another interior guy so that bum Brodrick Washington can stop getting so many snaps

and of course we always need another pass rushers

Lamar 114 passer rating and a 85 Total QBR (2nd best of the weekend)

And people will remember the turnovers more and say Allen is better/deserved MVP.

Just rough man.

Despite the mistakes..If Harbaugh just runs the ball on 2nd and short in the 1st half...you get a TD. Tied 14-14 and its a different game. Just hate it man.

 

[STAN JONES]

I agree but im sure they werent expecting Lamar to take a sack on 2nd down

if he just throws the ball away you still have 2 cracks at it from the 2 instead of it being 3rd & goal from the 8

even though they shouldve ran it thats Lamar fault for taking that sack not the coaches

 

[AVXL]

I thought rooting for the Vikings was torture

Yall definitely lead the league in the pain category

Im mad for yall and im not even a fan

Breh this franchise has won multiple championships, has great coaching, has a 3X MVP at QB who’s just entering his prime.

Imagine being a Lions, Bills, Browns, Falcons fan. Baltimore will be ok

 

[STAN JONES]

I dont ever wanna hear none of that "im a dog" talk from this clown ass nikka ever again

Allen had 147 yards of offense and just 3 plays that covered more than 8 yards. That call to throw at the 2 might’ve cost them the game
