Ravens were a total dumpster fire down the stretch......now magically trying to eliminate the Bengals. they exhibited none of this in their final games.
Yea whats up with that? I know Roquon Smith made a HUGE difference on their defense but they even had some WR's getting open for a change.
I was surprised when I woke up and Greg Roman hadn't been fired. You are one of the only teams to have and use a very good fullback and the best player on offense, outside of the TE, is probably Dobbins but you try that silly sneak from more than a yard out? Yikes. SMH.

On second down, too. A Ravens fan buddy at the gym said Harbaugh is gone.

+1.
Hmmm.. I think Greg Roman will be gone first but who knows. I do think Jim H. is a pretty good coach and I'm not sure there is anybody out there thats better. Having said that after watching his 2 minute offense and in game management I don't want to hear anyone say anything about Franklin.
He's (Jim H.) has also had a re-occuring dust up with one of his players I think it might be Patrick Queen.

Cousins played a whale a game…it was the defense that let the Vikings down. But then, they just played to their 31st ranking.
Cousins is a good example as to why stats can be misleading. He generally put up good numbers, but when his team needs him to make a play.....poof.

Cousins did play very well but he’s Kirk Cousins. Washington fan here. I was glad when they moved on from him.
The Skins have been tearing it up without him.

Cousins is a very good (not great but very good) QB and good guy to boot!

For Christ’s sake the guy made plenty of plays…all year. And in his career. He won 8 games with 4Q comebacks (an NFL record), won 11 one-score games and led the largest comeback win in league history. All this with tbe “backing” of the leagues 31st best defense. And he played a darn good game yesterday. Cousins was not the reason the Vikes lost.

A good guy and a good teammate but he always managed to disappoint while in Washington. He's much better now than he was in Washington, but that last pass yesterday was quintessential Cousins. All my DMV relatives are Commanders fans and we all said it was time to next man up from Cousins.

Yes, Cousins is better than anybody Washington has at QB right now but either way they would have been a wild card at best.

If the Vikings had managed to pull out a win yesterday, we’d all be talking about Darius Slayton. Boy, that was some drop, epic.

Ideally, you throw to the sticks. But both teams completed plenty short of sticks yesterday that went for 1st downs and more.

Hearing him and watching the play, it was likely his best option. Again, he played a terrific game and had a terrific year. If Vikings had just a bad defense, they might be a Super Bowl contender. They would certainly have won yesterday.

And he disappointed in Washington because Washington was a train wreck!

Why even have a receiver running a 3 yd pattern when it’s the “game & 8”? Not sure that can be blamed on the QB!

And the QB…..choice of 1) getting sacked or 2) getting rid of the ball.

No, he just couldn’t make the plays. I watched him every week.
Well, he sure made a bunch of plays in Minnesota…at an NFL record pace…not bad for a 4th round draft pick…who btw had a 4-0 record against Michigan.
