2019 NFL Playoff Game Thread - WC Round

[Mystic Merlin]

Nantz with a particularly terrible callback to the Cleveland game last week.

There's like zero contextual relevance to the fact that Cleveland had the ball here with less than two minutes left last week.

 

[shawnrbu]

When we come back from the next commercial break, Nantz will apologize for his partner's language.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

"Rivers is...pissed."

FCC's ears went up.

Nope, they're closed because of the government shutdown.

 

[NortheasternPJ]

Yes.

Nantz should tell him to calm down.

 

[Al Zarilla]

The ageless Antonio Gates.

Baltimore fucking sucks.

Chargers letting them hang around though.

 

[Red Averages]

Ravens just consistently killing themselves in this game. Couldn't happen to a better franchise

 

[Pandemonium67]

Turned it on just in time to see a Baltimore sack. I've decided -- I truly, deeply and in a most profoundly heartfelt way want these fucking ratbirds to lose.

Yes, the Chargers could win in Foxboro. But Raven Elimination Day can't come soon enough. Go, LAC!

 

[johnmd20]

That is unequivocal PI.

 

[shawnrbu]

Rivers did a Brady and threw it where the holding was.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

First blatant hometown call of the playoffs, with the possible exception of that missed touchback fumble in the Houston game yesterday.

 

[TFisNEXT]

9-0...but that feels more like 17-0 with the way the ravens look on offense.

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

Lol nice shove and nice call by the ref??

 

[johnmd20]

Refs call everything, but not the play where the WR is blatantly just pushed out of bounds.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Phew.

2 score game.

 

[54thMA]

That is unequivocal PI.

The Ravens play defense the same way Seattle does; commit a penalty on every plan as in theory, they can't throw a flag every time.

 

[normstalls]

Brutal non flag there. Arbitrary NFL back at it...

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

Just got a nice ad for Pepsi with Jane Lynch teaching DeAndre Hopkins a new TD celebration dance.

Whoops.

 

[Time to Mo Vaughn]

Refs call everything, but not the play where the WR is blatantly just pushed out of bounds.

I think my favorite part was the ref removed his hat and motioned after the play that the receiver was out of bounds.

 

[ngruz25]

This is an awful game in all ways.

Except the Ravens losing at home. I'm fine with that.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Yup, this is where I land. I just hate the Ravens and can't root for them here.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Both these teams suck

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

I don’t know how you don’t go to Flacco. Lamar Jackson ain’t it today.

 

[54thMA]

Just coming here to say that. They have no passing attack and are completely one dimensional and too easy to stop right now. Maybe Flacco gives the passing attack the spark they need.

I look forward to him marching them up and down the field by heaving the ball down the sideline on third and long, drawing the penalty and keeping the chains moving.

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

Lamar with a 0.0 qb rating

 

[Dehere]

BAL actually trying too hard to balance their play calling IMO. Run the ball.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Gotta go Flacco, which is what worries me. Maybe he does his playoff Flacco magic.

 

[shawnrbu]

Should be a 3 score game.

Any Baltimore points before half are mammoth.

 

[Freddy Linn]

Lamar with a 0.0 qb rating

Blutarsky.

 

[The Needler]

Anyone else hear a woman screeching every play ?

I thought it was a some kind of noisemaker. It is vuvuzela-level maddening.

 

[Dehere]

Can’t believe they didn’t run a play there.

 

[shawnrbu]

3 and out here means we see January Joe in the 3rd Quarter.

 

[mikeot]

Disappointed LAC gets to beat up on the Rook before he comes to Foxboro.

 

[staz]

Both these teams suck

Having trouble deciding this, or that both Ds are quite formidable.

 

[mostman]

Nice pass.

 

[johnmd20]

Jackson literally can't throw a complete pass.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Ford is ruining Tame Impala.

 

[shawnrbu]

Moar commercials.

 

[Ed Hillel]

lol what a throw

 

[Red Averages]

Chargers get the ball to start the 2nd half. Just score here and one to open up the 2nd half and this game is over.

 

[bigq]

I haven’t been following the Ravens this season but it is hard to believe Jackson is a better QB than Flacco.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

That pass wasn't catchable by the Time Lord, and he's 6-10 with a 40 inch vertical

 

[Ed Hillel]

He has to go Flacco, unless he wants out of his contract.

 

[shawnrbu]

I haven’t been following the Ravens this season but it is hard to believe Jackson is a better QB than Flacco.

It's a gimmick offense that teams were not ready to see the first time around. The Chargers just saw it 15 days ago and have made the adjustments.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

The Chargers need a touchdown. If nothing else, this Ravens defense is just as likely to score a touchdown and turn this back into a game right quick.

Lamar is 0 for his last 6? I thought I heard a stat a few weeks back that the longest incompletion streak of Brady's career is 7.

 

[RedOctober3829]

I have no doubt that if Flacco comes in that the Ravens somehow will win due to pass interference calls deep down the field. Then he’ll start next week and we’ll have to deal with the same bullshit as ever next week.

It’s going to be telling if Harbaugh brings him in or not. If he doesn’t, then that’s how much they believe in LJ going forward.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Lamar would be a good running back maybe?

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Hmm, the first down draw play to make sure if you go 3 and out, your opponent doesn't have any time left before the half. Where have we seen that before about a million times?

 

[Deathofthebambino]

There's the first down, now they'll go hurry up.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

no timeout? you just wated 20 seconds

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Ohhhhh Keenan..
