You want the worst rushing team in the league to run as often as they pass? I'm glad you're not an OC
We are we both on record. One of us will be gloat bumping.

The Ravens with Huntley are better than the Dolphins with Skylar, but neither team is going anywhere without their starting QB's. Could be a very interesting offseason for both Tua and Lamar, there's some thought that Tua might have to retire due to concussions, personally I think he plays next year, but how many more concussions can he take before he's forced out of the game, Lamar is from Miami and things seem to be icy between him and the Ravens, I think the possibility of Lamar ending up a Dolphin isn't far fetchedRavens without Lamar the worst of the playoff teams. There offense was brutal with him in. No ability to intentionally scheme Andrews. No other weapons on the field. Committe in the backfield will always get yards, but this team will crumble as soon as 2 scores down.
Few NFL things bring me as much joy as seeing this 'unique' Ravens offense shit the bed and never get over the hump.
I wonder how disgruntled both Tyreek and Jaylen become of bringing in a QB who will be asked to do something he's never been able to do (yet) as a pro.The Ravens with Huntley are better than the Dolphins with Skylar, but neither team is going anywhere without their starting QB's.

You want the worst running team in the NFL to run it consistently, got itMy position is TB has to run consistently
IMO the reason for tampa's poor performance is the fact they've played far too conservatively all year - they cant run, it's as simple as that, but they kill 4-5 drives/game by trying to pound the rock. Then they get behind and have to throw, with decent success.You want the worst running team in the NFL to run it consistently, got it
Brady gets rid of the ball quicker than anyone, if he feels pressure he'll throw it away, and his offensive line is getting healthier, they might be getting some guys back this week. Also, I never said they should throw it every play, they need to run it just enough to keep the defense honest, but for them to win they need to throw it a lot more than they run itto prevent Dallas from teeing off on Brady.
Exactly! All year they've been too conservative on offense, they don't open it up until the second half when they're down by two scores, they need to stop running it on first down for 2 yards and let Brady throw the ball, Bowles is a hell of a DC, but he's a shit coach, so I fully expect the same game planIMO the reason for tampa's poor performance is the fact they've played far too conservatively all year - they cant run, it's as simple as that, but they kill 4-5 drives/game by trying to pound the rock.

They need to come out winging it against dallas.

Tampa has no ability to run, they average 3.4 YPA which is dead last in the league, if they were smart they would have Brady drop back 50 times and throw it all game, that's the way they can win
Because he cant throw deep. Dallas should force him to.Dallas couldn't have been scheduled a worse opening opponent. Brady gets rid of the ball faster than anyone, which all but negates that DAL pass rush. That rush makes their defense.
They will have to. It’s about matchups now.You want the worst rushing team in the league to run as often as they pass? I'm glad you're not an OC
Gave up 257 yds vs cinn last gm. Harbaugh 6-0 on the road in the playoffs. Will take Balt too but only if Hundley plays.I couldn't pass on BAL +10.5.
I was looking at their defensive numbers. Night and day with Roquan Smith in the lineup.
The qb play on Balt sucks, no matter who it is. They have the worst WR;s in the playoffs, and Cinn can stop the run.I agree on paper but I respect the smart Harbaugh enough to bet them. I think they cover and have a chance late to win.
Yup, they either run it on first down for 2 yrds, or even worse is when they get 5 yds, then they think they can run again on 2nd down and typically get 1 yd. Now they're looking at 3rd and 3 and always try a 2 yd pass - meaning the receiver still needs to make a move to pick up the 1st, which they often fail to do because the defenders are waiting at the sticks.Exactly!

Can’t take advantage of their best WR because of it.Brady got old Suddenly. He is now Peyton Manning at the end without an elite defense to ride.
I assume it's because leftwich is told the game plan by the Idiot Bowles.And there is no valid reason why only short passes?
If Brady was on Minn, he would throw to Theilen all game while not getting the ball to JJ, that’s his arm now,I assume it's because leftwich is told the game plan by the Idiot Bowles.
Many times they've made 8 yds passing on first down, then run up the middle for zero on 2nd, another run on 3rd for 1 yd, then they mix it up and run up the middle on 4th and 1 and fail. The plays they call are all horrible and predictable too - simple handoffs from a bunched formation.
I've watched all year - the worst thing that can happen to them is to gain 7-8 yds on first down - they will stubbornly attempt to barely get a first down every time(almost always by running). How about throwing the ball on 2nd and 2 and really put the defense on their heels?
Brady is plenty good enough to move the ball passing.
