I was stuck at a light at Montrose and my kiddo was asking me something about Rosemont and I had a massive epiphany. I probably should have had it earlier but man. Now there's no going back.Unagi wrote: ↑Fri Jan 19, 2024 9:28 pm Texans vs Ravens -- My brain just pointed out to me that these two team names are similar in a weird way. (and that my brain is in a weird way)
Both Six letters...
T and R are separated by one letter in the alphabet.
the e and the a are in swapped positions.
x and v are separated by one letter in the alphabet.
and finally then, they both end with ns.
I should probably be committed.
Ravens are gonna blast this team into the Stone Age.El Guapo wrote:Gotta say I'm pretty excited for Ravens - Chiefs. Should be a very fun game.
Yeah, my expectation is that the Ravens are going to win by 10. The main caveat on that is that the Chiefs have Mahomes. But the Ravens have Jackson and a better overall team.RunningMn9 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 22, 2024 4:39 pmRavens are gonna blast this team into the Stone Age.El Guapo wrote:Gotta say I'm pretty excited for Ravens - Chiefs.

That throw on 2nd down is a TD 99/100 times. It is their bread and butter play (same basic play they ran in 2021 to take the lead with 13 seconds). 1/100 times, Chris Jones pushed the LT into Allen and affects the throw.
It’s just a damn shame that I live in the 1/100 universe.
It made me angry in the moment for all the same reasons, but you have to get a TD to have a chance. And the TD was there. I get trying to take it, and take your chances on D. But it didn’t work out.
It never works out.
The other caveat is that the Ravens have underperformed a LOT in the playoffs. Beating a rookie QB making his first road playoff start is a FAR cry from beating Mahomes.El Guapo wrote: ↑Mon Jan 22, 2024 4:52 pmYeah, my expectation is that the Ravens are going to win by 10.

If Lamar wins it, it will be the first time ever that a QB celebrated for rushing ability has won the SB. That would embolden Justin Field's supporters, I guess (still on the fence with him). I'm rooting for Mahomes, as the Chiefs are probably my 3rd favorite team (2nd favorite when they play the Packers).El Guapo wrote: ↑Fri Jan 26, 2024 5:53 pm It's really hard for me to see the Chiefs winning on Sunday. The Ravens team just is all around better. The one thing is that Mahomes has enough of an aura that it's hard to see him losing, so that's the one caveat. But you know, Lamar's pretty dang good too.
ummm Mahomes doesn't rush? I mean he's not as good as Lamar, but he's up there and would be considered a rushing QB in my book.Jeff V wrote: ↑Fri Jan 26, 2024 9:02 pmIf Lamar wins it, it will be the first time ever that a QB celebrated for rushing ability has won the SB.

The thing is that Lamar Jackson, in addition to being fast, is also really good at throwing a football.Jeff V wrote: ↑Fri Jan 26, 2024 9:02 pmIf Lamar wins it, it will be the first time ever that a QB celebrated for rushing ability has won the SB.

I agree with that.RunningMn9 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 28, 2024 8:58 amSteve Young was a passer that could run. Lamar is a runner that can pass.
