NFL GDT: 2023 AFC Divisional Round: (1) Baltimore Ravens vs. (4) Houston Texans

[SirClintonPortis]

Baltimore is starting to impose their game.

Game could be over this drive.

 

[red devil]

Ravens could put the game away if they get a TD on this drive

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Another RB down for the Ravens. f***ing Christ.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

The Luck and RG3 2012 rookie seasons were in the same stratosphere, I believe.

RG3 perhaps but I recall Luck being an INT machine. But maybe I'm misremembering.

Does one consider a QB a rookie if he sits his entire first year?

Culpepper sat his entire rookie year outside of like two plays as a runner backing up Jeff George and Randall Cunningham

The next year taking over as starter

297-474 (62.7%)
3,937 yds
33 TD
16 INT

89 Rush
470 yds (5.3 Y/A)
7 TD's

That missed FG changed entire course of game

And yet another stupid penalty by Texans

I wouldn't else or it easily becomes Mahomes. But I don't consider a player who got to practice with NFL guys and playbooks all season prior a rookie.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Houston straight up can't function pre-snap.

7 penalties in that area is unacceptable no matter how new/experienced your team/coaching staff is.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

should have snapped the ball and threw a Hail Mary cuz why not, free play

 

[Terry Yake]

if the ravens don't win this game with all the houston penalties, everyone needs to be fired

I don’t consider it the same, but that’s still impressive.

But using that idea, might as well go Mahomes.

 

[HoseEmDown]

Google West Coast Offense.

The 49ers went plenty deep to Rice and Taylor.

 

[SirClintonPortis]

Houston might need to hire a Marine drill sergeant.

-----------------------------------

The 49ers went plenty deep to Rice and Taylor.

The Ravens are also playing an anti-deep coverage scheme.

 

[Karterthadon]

Those 15 minute drives are brutal

 

[HoseEmDown]

its hard to throw deep let alone at all when you’re averaging like a yard per carry in the run gamr

Then abandon the run. They had success when they went hurry up.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Those 15 minute drives are brutal

That 4th and 1 getting gashed for 20 was brutal.

 

[red devil]

Likely TD

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

WTF type of coverage was that?

TD Ravens

This is over

 

[Terry Yake]

what a pass

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Lamar can't throw? Yeah? Yeah?

 

[HoseEmDown]

Houston might need to hire a Marine drill sergeant.

-----------------------------------

The Ravens are also playing an anti-deep coverage scheme.

Apparently they're playing and anti-run as well. Texans offense is Schultz getting open.

The NFL treats the season after being drafted as your rookie year whether you play or not.

It’s hard to compare numbers for the first years of QBs because circumstances are often so different. Some guys sit a whole year (or more). Some guys sit part of their first year. Others start right away. Then you also have very different experience levels coming into their careers with some dudes playing four or five seasons as starting college QBs and others with much less college playing time.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Great drive. Texans up against it now

 

[Blitzkrug]

Money throw. Put that where only Likely had a shot at it.

Tell me more about how Daniel Jones is better though.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Good learning experience for Texans

Next year they wont catch teams off guard though. Will be interesting to see how they add to team

Do they focus on making D stronger or do they throw picks/$ into offense?

 

[Troy McClure]

Houston is well ahead of schedule, so this isn’t disappointing or a surprise.

 

[SirClintonPortis]

The Ravens always built for the trenches and the rough style of the AFC North. Houston...well...much softer division.
