Funny how they made the Broncos play with no quarterback and they are bending over backwards to make sure the Ravens/Steelers game goes off as normal as it can.

It does make sense in a way since the Ravens & Steelers are both playoff contenders. (although starting RGIII the Ravens won't likely get past the first round)

Joe Montana under center wouldn't be enough to make the 2020 Broncos a winner.

That doesn't make any sense, IMO. It doesn't matter if Baltimore is a playoff contender. They fucked up their COVID situation and they should have to suffer the consequences.

I mean sure it makes sense from an NFL ratings point of view and them making money, but like from a fairness point of view there is clearly a bias.

Ravens/Steelers is probably the #1 rival right now in the NFL. Both of those teams are in contention every year and they completely hate eachother. I mean shit, I can't wait to watch it lol.

Ah, just like old times. RGIII starting in a meaningful game.

One read and he can't go beyond that. I expect him to serve up some delicious picks.

Another #2 overall QB that doesn't pan out.

Man, the #2 club of QBs have new additions to their ranks, and they just happen to also all suck.

Although, prior to this year, he was the last Redskins QB to beat the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, so I still thank him for that.

Right on cue.

Fumble by the Ratbirds.

I have a feeling this one is over before halftime... Ravens D is very good but may be gassed shortly from the looks of things.

Really hope to be mistaken.


EDIT: THAT was a surprise who the heck was Ben throwing to? And too bad numb-nuts didn't just take the touchback!

If Dallas lets Dak go, I hope the WFT comes in and scoops him up.

The team that refused to pay Kirk Cousins $30M/yr should pony up $40M/yr for Dak? Dak has proven himself to be a top-10 QB, maybe even top 6. But the Cowboys are quite likely to pay him top 3 money this offseason. Anyway, my buddy actually likes Dak and wants him for a long term deal. He just doesn't want a cap-busting figure that dooms the team to extended mediocrity. Well, they're doomed to mediocrity no matter what they do. :tearsofjoy:

For my money, the only QBs worth that kind of money are Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson. And even Rodgers is a bit questionable based on age.

I'm not sold on Prescott myself.

He would be an upgrade on Daniel Jones but would be far from my first choice!

I would love it if Dak is re-upped with Dallas as a rival fan. He is "good" but he doesn't take you to "another place".

Dak earned his "contract year" standoff by simply being the leader of an offense that didn't show up in 3-4 critical games down the stretch.

He was damn productive but still mistake prone and not "all there" during the start of the season.

I also approve of this! :D

I encourage a "long-term" signing in fact!

(also they should keep Dalton as backup!)

Is it disturbing that McSorley is more successful with the Ravens WRs than either of the two ahead of him?

I finally took time to watch Wednesday's Steelers/Ravens game. Holy shit. Mike Tomlin is right. Very much Junior Varsity quality of play by the Steelers. They're lucky Baltimore was decimated by COVID and played even worse.
