AFlaccoSeagulls Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Vrabel complaining about the refs not calling penalties while his team scored their only TD off of a no-call OPI and the Ravens were "stopped" on 4th down by a garbage OPI call is...interesting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flatout rivalry... Just like Steelers-Ravens. Guys show up. Only rivalry I can think of where this isn't the case is Steelers-Patriots where we always get dragged out to the wood shed.

I grew up rooting for an 0-3 start Randall Cunningham. I completely understand how it feels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree that it was OPI due to how your DBs play but yeah... An absolutely terrible look from Vrabel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool. Wining a playoff game was HUGE for the Ravens. WInning a game when we were down was HUGE gor the Ravens. Winning against the Titans was HUGE for the Ravens. That's what's important now and that matters much more the thing you are trying to debate. People here acting like the lAmAr CaN't WiN a PlAyOfF gAmE was NEVER a narrative are frankly out of touch, acting like everything out there that players have to hear daily is super sophisticated. It was 1000% something that weighed on Lamar a ton. The bold above means you are angry and disrespectful and looking for a fight. If you can't get that then we can't help you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They show up against us in ways entire teams don't i mean, last year our defense was good lol. it was kinda bend-don't-break so the yardage numbers were average but we were top 10 in scoring defense. still weak with the pass rush but good LB play, good secondary, good run defense. all of those things imploded entirely this year but we're always worse against passing teams (e.g. get lit up by deshaun watson every time we play no matter how bad the texans are). our best hope is against running teams, so you guys are a better matchup for us in that regard, but lately we hadn't even been very good against the run lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean yeah I can see how it wasn't called, but FWIW the referees were consistent with that level of physicality being allowed all day long on both sides. It's just weird to see him complaining about non-calls when his team literally scored their only touchdown because of one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a superstar in my head as a result but I also have no idea how he actually plays the rest of the time lol. I hate players like that. That's Sammy Watkins against the niners for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tk3 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 5 minutes ago, BlaqOptic said: Are we really calling down 10-0 in the first a comeback? And as someone who's never been anti-Lamar, are we not going to ignore that the Titans D has been trash all season. The narratives against Lamar are and always have been trash. But I'd be lying if I said that today proved anything new other than he may actually be faster than I thought based on that 50+ yard TD run. So my issue is that people were using the fact that he can't come back as a strike against him - and the announcers of today's game were the ones who brought up the "down 10 points" thing specifically It feels unfair for people to use "can't come from behind" as an attack, but Lamar defenders cannot use "he just came back from 10 points" as a defense 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
