Tomlin on the defense in August
“We feel really good about the prospects of this group. We do,” Tomlin said. “We’ve got to write that story. We’ve got enough talent, we’ve got enough schematics to do big, big things. When I say big things, I’m talking about historic things.”
I learned that Tomlin is delusional:wow:

Don't be shocked when the Ravens finish the regular season 12-5
Just looked at the AFC standings. They’ll def finish close in their division and the AFC as a whole is close, minus the Broncos. If they make the playoffs, they could be scary cause the team hasn’t even clicked yet. Them, chiefs and eagles are the teams I’m looking at, cause they’re all around without even hitting their stride.

Much better playcalling on both offense and defense.
-The defense is better prepared to play without Ardarius Washington, Jaire Alexander, and Madubuike.
-Ardarius is projected to return early or mid-December.

-Would love to see Emery Jones get some snaps when we're up by 2-3 touchdowns in the 4th quarter of games

I'm personally not looking into the conference standings...
For me it's all about get to .500, sweep the division, and win the games you been projected to win by Vegas.


Its not shocking how much of an impact...
-Pat Ricard has on the run-blocking game
-Playing without a veteran safety who knows what he's doing. Ardarius Washington was a big loss after getting injured during the off-season. He should return by mid-December. Trading for Alohi Gilman has improved the defense, and allows Kyle Hamilton to play closer to the LOS(line of scrimmage)
-There are rumors of Nnamdi Madubike's neck injury forcing him to an early retirement. He's our 2nd best player on defense, and his injury may have took a toll on the human/emotional side of the locker room.
-Lamar definitely got injured from the Ed Oliver hit vs Bills + not having NFL-quality guards starting + he's been sacked
2 sacks vs Bills
3 sacks vs Browns
7 sacks vs Lions
3 sacks vs Chiefs

To keep it official..

I don't know if I learned iish this week!!

But, I do have questions...

What happened to the Steelers? They were up, them they fell apart..

If the Packers is concerned about Josh Jacobs calf issue, then why are they giving him plays to run up the middle w/o hisbline opening up holes for him? He looked slow out there rbh..
If he is hurt, then sit him or get him out in space more so he can be more productive..

What happened to the Falcons?? Why would the expect him to go out there and perform but didn't play him during the season. He looked horrible! I honestly don't believe they deserve to have Bijan. I believe that his talents is best served on another team, to keep it official...

Dak has been in the league too long to be so inconsistent!

Mac Jones need to get some chemistry going with George Kittle! He should be scoring like Goedert!!

I don't like how Tampa used R. White. I don't like how a lot of teams use their RBs tbh..
.
I'm ready for week 9 already! EFF it! 😂

Wherever nikkas need to be told on
For the first time this year the Broncos looked like they had a legit offense for the whole damn game; whatever they did they need to keep doing

Best game from Bo Nix this season

Cowboys offense was looking tough and Broncos defense came in and neutralized them

Able to win without their best defender playing the 2nd half; prayers up for PS2–hope that injury isn’t too serious

They need to stop playing and go back to the throwbacks as their main jerseys

Terrible week of games. A slog to get through.

Ravens are going to win the AFC North. Steelers have an awfully tough schedule ahead. Bengals are toast with the loss to the Jets.

Colts and Broncos are good stories but will they have enough to dethrone the Chiefs and Bills.

Very happy for Aaron Glenn yesterday. Getting that monkey off his back was the best moment from yesterday. I hope Woody Johnson gives him some time because I think he can coach.

Cam Ward is stuck in NFL hell.

Mac Jones magic finally ran out.
