Wow blocked fg, missed fgs

Up 16 points late anyway, and lose.

If it isn't Friday the next time I wake up, I'll be disoriented for the rest of my life.

100 yard streak dead. Win, but at what cost

Can't think of 3 crazier games in the same week:
-GB-CIN (4 consecutive missed FGs in last 3 minutes + OT);
-CLE-LAC (unfettered scoring in 4th qtr);
-IND-BAL (Ravens had to be 1% win equity at some point there).

Nor has there been a week with coach news like Urb and Gruden dropping concurrently.

I love the guy, am pulling for him to shatter QB rushing records, also some total scrimmage records, dude getting 4K passing maybe, 1300 rushing maybe same season. Who knows maybe a 5K passing/1500 rushing seasson. But I'm telling you what the dude is since the very first day of the super heater a few years ago.

You hold your breath for that Super Bowl. It could happen. What would I do with the situation if I owned or coached the team? I think I'd keep him. Great for business, great for excitement, great for making playoffs, great for records. If you have it all you are Michael Jordan, and he doesn't have it all. It's hardly even a knock. But it is a criticism of how he rolls.

You legit have the weirdest obsession with Lamar.

Just give it up already.

Has anybody improved his QB ability more than Lamar Jackson? I can't think of one.

I was sweating some serious fantasy implications, so that influenced my posting lol

Good for Lamar, great game

Prior to the game, I set an intention of 35 points for him in the eggball thread, and changed my team name after his 41-point performance to Tony Robbins

Colts get the Lions next week iirc, and hopefully Tennessee lose to Buffalo

Colts played the rams tough, had this game. Lotta season left. I'd get a new f*ckin kicker ASAP

Look at his physique now compared to his rookie year. And absolutely no way he passes as well tonight in his rookie season. He has also matured in his field awareness, but many other QBs progress at that level.

Mahomes appears to be regressing. Kyler Murray and Josh Allen maybe.

Colts need to lose a few more and see the Tits win a couple so they can make the call to sit Wentz with 5 games left easier. Headed towards a top 10 pick that can't transfer to the Eagles.

You could have had Crosby but he somehow made the game winner in OT and saved his job.

Yeah as you said it's gotta be Josh

Josh has improved his passing greatly, physically he is about the same. Lamar was considered close to a run only QB, his improvement in passing is beyond remarkable. Josh might be a better passer at the moment, but his floor was higher.

I don't like Josh's field awareness, his 30 yard sacks are beyond bad. Lamar probably has the edge there.

Maybe a little better, but he's still not a good reader of defenses. And his runs are cancelled by his dumb decision making and fumbles. He can look great against a gassed depleted defenses because he can keep using his running ability and short passes for low risk good gains, but a competent defense can shut him down like you see in the playoffs. The Raven are struggling this year and needed luck to beat teams like IND and DET, so his net effect has not been good.

They don’t exist. The Panthers cycled 4 through their roster before week 2. We had to settle on taking Zane from the Lions practice squad lol. Feels like college where you say **** the 45 yarder on 4th and 4, we’d rather just go for it.

Should have just kept Joey Slye. Prior to Slye we had Graham Gano. While we had Graham, KC sniped Butker off of our practice squad. Wish we had that one back.

You're just parroting inaccurate nonsense you've heard from others who also don't know what they are talking about, but I only have time right now to address the most egregious part:

"...short passes for low-risk good gains"? Uh huh.

Lamar is currently ranked 4th in the NFL in yards/pass attempt, at 9.1.
He has the 3rd-most pass completions over 20 yards, with 24.
He leads all NFL QBs in Intended Air Yards/attempt (the depth of pass attempts thrown).
He leads all NFL QBs in Completed Air Yards/attempt (depth of passes caught)

He's 15th in the league in ANY/A (Adjusted Net Yards/Attempt) and he's had fairly soft defenses. (KC, IND, DET).
