One thing that about the Ravens roster that I'm fixated on for whatever reason.

I think RG3 as the backup to Lamar is so smart.  He has practically the exact same skill set, it just seems like such a common sense move to have a backup QB who is just the "lite" version of your starter.  

That is hardly every the case though!  Lots of NFL teams have a completely different skillet at Backup QB than Starter.   It never made sense to me

I hate you so much.  Really miss living in the Bay Area.  Our good friends lived in Petaluma.  Would go there for fireworks on the Fourth.  They'd always show us Winona Rider's childhood home.   Enjoy it out there, man.

Is it in Winchestertonfieldville, by chance?

Glad you and your town are safe from those insane fires.   I think of you folks every time there is a major fire.  I still feel a connection to Marin (actually wish we had never moved back East).

Every year, after the rains, you know the hills in Marin turn from lush verdant green to that beautiful gold.  I had a few jobs at Skywalker Ranch which was an idyllic location but right in the middle of all that dried landscape.  It would drive me insane when you'd see some dope on 101 throwing a cigarette out of a car not knowing or caring that it might cause 5K acres to go up in flames.  

Wishing you the best for staying safe and out of fire's way.

upon review, you are correct.

[munchmemory]

A Culkin has been spotted on the Ravens.  Macaulay must be psyched.

[munchmemory]

Oooohhhhh.... RGIII got creamed.  B/S call.  They hit him clean and as he was throwing.

[Lith]

Weak roughing the passer call.

[whodeawhodat]

how does this offense actually move the ball better than us???

 

*no need to answer*

[TuscanyTile2]

The Ravens have like 16 guys out today with COVID yet are competing with the 10-0 Steelers.  The Steelers should've been penalized for "slow play" at the end of the 1st half, which could've given the Ravens at least 3 and possibly 7.

Adam Gase would've used this as an excuse to already be blown out in this game (rather than trail 12-7 in the 3rd quarter).

The ineptitude is strong with this team, Grasshopper.

That was a classic make up call for the nonsense that happened at the end of the first half. How the refs allowed that is beyond comprehension.

 

[Thai Jet]

Pittsburgh better not let the Ravens hang around. I still say the Ravens should have forfeited the game.

I'll say it again for the the 100th time, how the league allows the hands to the face by offensive ball carriers is beyond me.

A straight arm to the shoulder or top of the helmet maybe?  Okay, but so many blatant hands to the face mask.

[jetophile]

There's a game on?!

As a kid I used to avoid looking at the bottom screen score ticker during the afternoon games because I wanted these two to tell me the story with the highlights. NFL Primetime was easily my favorite sports show ever.

I’m afraid of what Darnold-lite would look like. 

[Skeet Ulrich]

RGIII was only slightly better at QB than that WR who started for the Broncos on Sunday

[Lith]

And now, Trace Mcsorley has only thrown 2 fewer TD passes than Sam Darnold this year.

He actually might be better than Sam Darnold.

I'm with you.  The second the 4 PM game was over we went immediately to Primetime.  Incredible rapport between Chris and Tom.  You could see that they genuinely liked each other and enjoyed what they were doing.  I lived for Chris' nicknames for players.
