Gee the Ravens WR’s are dropping some easy catches.

Story of this round of matches (dropped catches) It's as if they are thinking of the extra yardage after the catch! 

Great run by Jackson just then to set up the field goal

Pressure looks intense out there but the two drops by the ravens were like you said more looking for what they are going to do next.

Wow, that should have been pick #4

[Gorgoroth 13,021]

And there is the fourth. Arm was hit so just one of those things but it’s not been his night so far.

[Gorgoroth 13,021]

Oooof, nearly the fifth.

Having a game to forget 

Ravens have been good

[Gorgoroth 13,021]

Scoring on 7 straight drives vs this D is insane.

Ravens D has been good, but the Ravens has busted up the niners D, and tbh I did not think teams could do it to the degree the Ravens have.

Lamar Jackson proving very elusive for the 49ers pass rush. He’s having a great game.

He has been so much better this year, they finally gave him a good receiving corp and he is much more dangerous for it.

[Gorgoroth 13,021]

The other thing is the raven oline has been very good.

[Gorgoroth 13,021]

Down by 14, 4:35 to go. What can the niners do?

[Gorgoroth 13,021]

Some injuries to both sides late in the game will be of interest in the coming weeks.

Business end of the season arrives most notably with numerous teams jockeying for a playoff spot

And the tipping comp where DemonDave has shot away with Dr.Gonzo in hot pursuit ... the rest of us need to get creative

2 points on offer this week (plus a bonus point) and we finish off with 3 points in week 18

Good luck!!

49ers the standout choice and probably the Rams?  Otherwise, it's tricky (again)

Ravens and Lamar were excellent but we played into their hands. Choosing not to run as much early was a big mistake and overcommitting to blitzes made it very easy for Lamar to do his thing as lanes opened up and he waltzed out of the pocket. Not taking anything away from them but it wasn't good enough from a coaching standpoint.

Was tossing up between Raiders and Falcons, went with Falcons because I think they have more to play for technically still able to take out the NFC South. I guess the Raiders could still pinch a wildcard as well but that seems highly unlikely.

Cricket is done but we've got a good match-up tomorrow (Lions @ Dallas Saturday Night Football) 

But at this time of the year teams can start resting a few starters if their playoff spot is entrenched ... Dallas is the 5 seed and can't move from that spot unless the Eagles somehow slip up

Detroit can finish no worse than the 3 seed but can't finish any higher unless the Eagles or the 49ers falter in their last 2 games (which is unlikely) 

Still, Prescott vs Goff will be worth watching

Game kicks off at 12.15pm
