NFL GDT: 2022 AFC Wild Card Round: (3) Cincinnati Bengals vs (6) Baltimore Ravens

[Terry Yake]

How would that not make him flip the f*** out?

i'm just saying i don't envision the ravens losing him for nothing. if he leaves, it'll be because the ravens tagged him and then traded him

he's getting paid either way and i still think the ravens are the team that will pay him. they know franchise QBs don't grow on trees and the only way they'll lose him is if he straight up tells them he doesn't want to play for them

 

[LightningStorm]

I expect the Dolphins @ Bills to be the biggest blowout this weekend. But with Lamar out this game, I think this one will be a close 2nd.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

The blow out of the weekend. Cincinnati might actually rest their starters in the 4th quarter.

 

[Terry Yake]

looks like huntley is gonna get the start, even though it should be anthony brown who looked far better than huntley. he and skylar thompson are gonna duke it out for worst QB to start a playoff game in recent memory

this one's gonna be over before it even starts

Lamar's gone in the offseason. This whole thing is such an asshole move by John Harbaugh.

If your QB is out, just f***ing say so. All we've been hearing the last couple weeks is "Oh Lamar is a quitter! he's selfish!" when in reality, PCL injuries are serious and from what i read, a grade 2 sprain is essentially a thread away from being torn. Lamar rightfully will not take the risk when he gets his biggest contract in the offseason. Even if he did, he's likely ineffective since he can't be mobile with an injury like that.

The whole "week to week" thing was crap. If Lamar knew he couldn't go then surely the organization did. Why not just say it? It makes it look like you don't have his back.

Most are saying he likely still needs surgery in the offseason. Those contract negations gonna be extra spicy and i bet it ends with him either walking away or forcing a trade if they franchise tag him.

They'll probably franchise tag him, no team right now is going to give Lamar his money due to his recent injuries. Lamar should've just signed his deal last year and be done with it.

Don’t put this on Harbaugh. Every coach would do this. They love keeping opponents guessing to make them prepare for two QBs. He’s not thinking about how fans and media will make wild speculation.

 

[GKJ]

I think the ravens are a bit more confident of their organization that they’re not going to feel beholden to do something they don’t want to do, even if that includes the quarterback. That said, he will be franchised if they can’t get a deal.

 

[Ace]

The score of last weeks game is…misleading? Baltimore rested key starters, Burrow had a bad game and Baltimore managed to out gain them by a ton? Turnovers killed them. But they played their third string QB, backup RB and sat their best offensive weapon at TE.

I don’t think this is a route. They’ve struggled with Baltimore’s D twice. And the offense they’ll put out this week has upgrades at three key positions over last week

yeah but that doesn't matter when your QB struggles to throw a ball further than 10 yards. brown honestly wasn't bad last week aside from the first two drives where he was picked and the ravens would be better off starting him over huntley, but that's not going to happen. huntley is just flat out terrible

the defense can have a good game but it won't make a difference when the offense can't score

 

[BB88]

To no ones surprise

There's drama in Baltimore....

Jackson Tweeted specifics about his injury that someone else clearly wrote. Not sure why his camp would do that.



Then Sammy Watkins said this

“In this league, everybody is pretty much banged up, hurt,” veteran wideout Sammy Watkins said Wednesday in a quiet corner of Baltimore’s locker room. “I don’t want to speak for him and his situation and whatever he’s going through with the contracts. I don’t know what world he’s in. But for me, you got a chance to do something special. We all know with Lamar Jackson out there, this team is really freaking good, and special things can happen. He can will this team to a Super Bowl. I don’t think he’s thinking about it that way."


Ravens will get BTFO in this game and it feels like this could possible be the end of Lamar Jackson in Baltimore.

 

[Terry Yake]

lol. most ravens fans are completely over all this BS drama surrounding lamar. at this point it's inevitable that he's going to get tagged and if he wants out, then so be it. we've got a playoff game to lose in a few days

watkins should be the last guy talking about injuries though

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Lamar Jackson would be insane to play without a contract at this point. He's not 100 percent.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Chances are better for the Ravens without LaMarner but Bengals still win handedly.

Lmao Sammy Watkins of all people is implying someone can't handle an injury? Really?

Lamar isn't healthy. He can't play.

Yeah and Sammy should know better than to talk about another guys contract situation, suggesting stupid stuff like have Lamar just play on passing downs, Even if Lamar woke up today healthy by a miracle he hasn't practiced once in 6 weeks.

The Bengals should run away with this one, Huntley is pretty much garbage even when healthy and he has a bum throwing shoulder. All that being said, this sets up for an appearance from the Bungles to somehow allow 8 sacks, and the Ravens to return a punt and block a kick for a score and pull off a miracle. I wouldn't bet on it to happen, but these division matchups sometimes lead to strange results

It's just mind boggling.

Lamar is a competitor. He'd play if he could. That I have no doubt.

We are not running away with this one. AFC North playoff games are usually close even if not on paper.

We should win, and if we don't it will be one of the worst playoff chokes we've ever had, but we are not particularly good at blowing teams out even when we should.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Bengals win by around 10-13 points.

 

[Terry Yake]

lol. tell me you've never watched the ravens play without lamar without telling me you've never watched the ravens play without lamar

they literally can't score without him

This made me chuckle...but you can't be serious in thinking that they have better shot w/o him

 

[Unholy Diver]

What? You don't think 65 pts in 5 games is getting it done?

Maybe the Bengals will get locked in the lockerroom and have to forfeit

 

[Terry Yake]

What? You don't think 65 pts in 5 games is getting it done?

Maybe the Bengals will get locked in the lockerroom and have to forfeit

i believe i saw that they haven't scored more than 17 pts in a game without lamar

yeah that'd probably be the only chance they have at winning
