Andrews fumbles.
Yeah Ravens def playing a lot better in the 2nd half.
Honestly Josh Allen hasn't really done much at all this game.

This game makes me believe in fixed outcomes. Some of these holds and the DPI that was clearly an OPI in the first half are just crazy egregious.

Imagine before the season, someone told you that WFT would go farther than the Ravens.
They should leave Andrews in Buffalo. The Ravens were on fire in the second half and had fully taken over the game and then he fumbles and drains all the momentum. Then drops a 2 point attempt that even I could catch, and I’m not good at anything.
We’ll be the underdogs in the conference finals, but my take is why can’t the Commanders win? Obviously stopping Barkley is a huge task, that’s the major X-factor, we struggle with the run and he’s the best in the business this year. If Hurts is banged up and isn’t a major threat to run that’s a huge benefit, and allows the defense to cheat a little more toward Barkley, and trust the secondary that’s been playing well.
The season is already a complete overwhelming success. Making the playoffs was a huge in in and of itself. Winning a playoff game was massive. Winning a second game on the road against the one seed is insane. If the Commanders manage to beat the Lions AND the Eagles I just wouldn’t even know what to say. So many players have been stepping up, but JD5 is writing history this year.

We couldn't stop Gibbs, and they stopped giving him the ball. They finished the year without Montgomery, so it doesn't matter what the run game was predicated on, you're 2 games away from the Super Bowl, your RB is averaging over 7 yards a carry, and you stopped feeding him the rock.

Did they, though?
WAS were up 2 scores at the half. In the 3rd Quarter both teams had very long drives, such that DET only had one possession (Touchdown). Gibbs was still involved, and the Lions were moving the ball by spreading it around.
WAS scored again early in the 4th and DET was again down 2 scores. The first DET possession of the 4th quarter, on the 4th play, they tried to pass to Gibbs and WAS intercepted it.
Then WAS went 8 plays for another TD, and suddenly DET are down 45-28 (3 scores) with 7 and a half to play!
You can't just keep handing the ball off in a situation like that. You haven't been able to stop the other team from scoring and running time off the clock, so you MUST throw the ball. But they still leaned on Gibbs.
The next DET drive almost every play was to St. Brown or Gibbs, and they only got a FG. DET didn't get the ball back again until almost the 2 minute warning, and their season ended with another INT with 30sec to play.
Our resident Eeyores can't talk about Gibbs only rushing 14 times when he was also targeted in the pass game 11 times, more than any other DET player.

We scored 36 on them last time. Send out a hurt QB and see what happens.
Im very homer

Why not us? I thought the WFT would get boatraced by the Lions. Maybe it will happen against PHI but I wouldn’t bet against these guys. Say what you want, they show up!

Finally? They've been taking about JD since the Cincy game, his national coming out party.

The Lions had 201 rushing yards on 23 rush attempts. That's 8.7 yards per carry.
So naturally they called 40 pass attempts which led to 3 INTs and a QB fumble.
True, but they also scoff at the idea that he should have been an MVP candidate and not just ROTY.
His stats aren't as gaudy as Lamar Jackson's or Josh Allen's, but can anyone argue he wasn't doing more with less?

Also their longest fastest TD of the game was a running play.
JD was the MVP in my book too. Most valuable. Did more with less, like you said. JA and LJ played on stacked teams already. Our top non QB rusher had less than 800 yards and just 8 TDs.
