That should just about put things to bed.

4th pick. More icing.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

32-12
Hopefully Bills and Ravens both win (or lose). Would rather play Chiefs than either of those two.

 

[Jack Regan]

Hoping Steelers Ravens is more of a game, stayed up laat Sunday for the Lions Vikings game which was obviously somewhat anticlimactic.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

Only 7-0, but hard to see the Steelers winning this.

Their offense is trash. And unless you can stop Derrick Henry you have no chance of beating the Ravens.

That stiff arm to Fitzpatrick's face would suggest they're unlikely to do so.

If you do stop Henry there is still Lamar Jackson (poor mans Josh Allen).

 

[Jack Regan]

Lamar playing the Steelers like it's Madden in 2004 and he's Michael Vick.

If you do stop Henry there is still Lamar Jackson (poor mans Josh Allen).

The first drive was: fake a hand-off to Henry, run with Jackson. Rinse and repeat. Then when the defense starts reacting to Jackson, give it to Henry to run for 20 yards. Henry is just a cheat code.

 

[Jack Regan]

Oh and look there's Derrick. Not a single pass on that drive, 13 runs and it's a touchdown.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

14-0 is already game over.
Only 8pm so gonna find something else to watch.

 

[Jack Regan]

21 zip at the half, bedtime!

Just caught up with the highlights. I've always thought that Herbert was just a touch below the big 4 QBs, just lacking weapons. In his big moment he failed to show that. 2 of the picks you can forgive as a deflection and desperation, but the other 2 throwing into double coverage and sailing it high just can't happen in a game where the stakes are that high. Congrats @Dennisons Wrong Foot

I've always felt that Herbert is talented but just doesn't have the 'it' factor that Jackson and Mahomes have. When it comes to the crunch I don't think he can put a team on his back and carry them. He's a good 'stat QB' though.

Maybe just maybe... John Harbaugh has realised that running is better for the Ravens in the play offs

Vrabel to New England confirmed

 

[Jack Regan]

Big start from Nix and the Broncos.

I can’t believe I forgot about Amari Cooper when we were talking Buffalo v Baltimore talent.

He's hardly played. Signed in week 7, missed 3 weeks injured, been used sparingly.
