RE: Threads from the Enemy week 7: Ravens - Whatever - 10-20-2021

Even with a game against a Colts team that only had 3 DB so they had to play in giant pillow soft zones he has a sub 100 passer rating, and without the Colts game only an 85 - and a lot of turnovers too. The keys to beating him are not to blow contain and play his receivers tight - make him fit the ball into tight spaces (demonstrate Touch).
Thing is, the Ravens have an elite TE in Andrews. Andrews combined with the threat of Lamar running puts a ton of strain on team's LB corps.

Then don't blow contain and it forces Jackson to do something he is bad at - fitting the ball into tight spaces .

I skipped this last week since I couldn't find enough chatter on Lions boards to make it worthwhile. The fans of the Baltimore Browns are wasting no time though in getting the Bengals conversation going. I am sure I'll be able to add more links throughout the week, but here are a few to whet your appetite.
They seem well aware, generally, that the Bengals are improved and aren't treating the game like it's going to be handed to them. Apparently Logan Wilson called Lamar Jackson a "running back who also plays quarterback" with it intended as complimentary, but of course some folks are running with that like it's locker room material. I don't give a damn, but I don't blame them for finding any reason to get mad. Athletes probably will too.
They are making one mistake that seemingly every opposing fanbase has made this season: assuming the offensive line hasn't been addressed at all and that they'll walk over it like they did in recent years.
I think this thread is the 1 I always look forward to most...

I think all of them are going to hurt their team in the long run with these contracts unless the cap starts really cranking up something fierce quickly.
Top 10 QB Cap Hits in 2023
Mahomes: $46.8m
Prescott: $45.5m
Ryan: $43.6m
Watson: $42.4m
Wilson: $40.0m
Allen: $39.8m
Tannehill: $36.6m
Rodgers: $33.2m
Goff: $30.7m
Wentz: $26.2m
How do you build a full team around a $40-46.8m cap hit to 1 player? Even if the cap rises from $182.5m to say... $222.5m by 2023 (back-to-back $20m rises) that's still going to be ~18-21% of your cap space for ONE player.
If Brady chases the most money he can get, the Bucs probably don't have Antonio Brown, Chris Godwin, or Shaquil Barrett this year. You'd think other QBs would look at that and think maybe $30m/yr is enough rather than $40-45, so they could go out and target some extra talent for Ws.

One of them said they would only be scared if Carson Palmer walked onto the field...
Are you kidding? Carson threw pick 6's to Ed Reed for years lol
Burrow should scare them as should our Defense. Put Ricardo Allen on Mark Andrews and have Awuzie blanket their
best WR and we could seriously pull out a win on the road and take the Division lead. But we cannot turn the ball over
on Offense, this is key.

Anyways, now that I know this thread is being watched I'm going to predict that Burrow throws 7 TDs and his only incompletion of the day will be a pass he intentionally rockets into a luxury box to hit Ray Lewis in the groin.
Terrible NFL boards have their charm, as far as lurking goes. There is a great Eagle's message board where every gameday the front page is littered with 0 reply new threads that say nothing more than "PLAYER/COACH X" has sex with his mother, has sex with other men, or both.
Mom is fair game. It's when they start saying ol' coach's Dad can't throw a baseball or the only time he takes his belt off is to have sex with animals... then it gets real.

Good point. QB is the most important position, but this isn't the NBA where 1-2 great players can lead a rag tag bunch to a championship. Just look at Brady. He went from looking like he'd end his career throwing a pick six and getting bumped in the first round, to winning a Super Bowl and posting the best numbers of his career.
Even the best ever needs great teammates to look good, and it's tough to do that when your QB takes $50 million in cap.

It was fun watching their game day thread go from cocky, "we always beat them" to damn we have to face Burrow and Chase twice a year for a long time
