Everyone they have left is good against the run. Shut down the run and their running back behind center will flounder.
I've never heard a "The opposing team had to travel across the country" excuse used before.
And yeah Lamar is only averaging 200 passing yards, but he's averaging like 300+ yards total games. So regardless of how he looks throwing, they're still gaining yards and scoring points effectively. Let me know when games are decided based on who has the most passing yards.
Only way they lose another regular season game is if he gets injured or another fluky type situation.
I can't believe you're giving flack to Jackson and then saying bills are better when Josh Allen is a worse version of Jackson. [Reply]

I think that they have a very solid team but they are gambling every game, not just on first downs and 2pt conv but with their QB. If Lamar goes down bye bye season.
They might win this year but there's no way Lamar makes a career out of what he's doing. All it takes is one hit or a few smaller hits and that's all she wrote. [Reply]

I expect the Ravens to stub their tie before the end of the season & the most likely time is this weekend @ Buffalo with the Bills coming off of a mini bye week. I have the Patriots only losing to the Chiefs the rest of the season even though it’s obvious that the Bills could go into Foxboro & win.
Without further ado, here is my latest projection.
If this were the scenario, I see the KC game being Sunday Prime Time of Wild Card weekend. The other AFC game just wouldn't have the draw and would be Saturday [Reply]

It’s funny that you mention the Jets having a shot to pull off a win vs Balt and then tease people for acting like the Ravens play the “Bungles”. Did you see what those “Bungles” did to the Jets last week? You may be correct that the Ravens lose a couple more but I can all but assure you, the Jets will not be one of those losses. [Reply]

You haven't?
It is a real thing, believe it or not.
You need to pay attention to bye weeks (obvious), games on short weeks (obvious), games against physical opponents in the prior weeks. Traveling coast to coast is a factor. [Reply]

Sure it's a thing. But that's not a valid excuse. You're in the fucking NFL. If traveling across the country results in a loss, then too fucking bad, too fucking sad. The Ravens traveled to the Seahawks and beat them soundly. That's what a good team does.
If you're using travel as excuse to a team you lost, then I don't know what to tell you. [Reply]

Check out the record of west coast teams who play the noon game on Sunday. [Reply]
