Ravens looking great so far. But I remember last year’s game against the Dolphins and I know this one ain’t over.

I have no problem with the decision. It sends a message to the team that he trusts them. Just didn’t work out this time. I don’t think playoff seedings matter as much as they used to.

Jerrah’s knows “associates with bent noses” and they know what helps the refs to make “the correct decision “
.
Or else.

I thought that as well.
It’s not like Dallas’s prevent defense was preventing anything and Detroit was blasting through Dallas inner d line.

Terrible decisions weren’t just on the refs....

I jumped and yelled when we SCORED that 2pt conversion, we WON. Then a long while later (like ‘a phone call came in’ later)...then the flag? ...cuz the ref made an error on understanding the eligible receiver?

Has to be the worst call, and way to lose, I’ve ever seen....and being a Lions fan, that’s saying something. Yes, we could have still gone to OT but I agree with taking the opportunity to end it right then while you have the ball.

Hopefully the Ravens post-season will be like the Orioles’ Post-Season.

Normally root for Eagles. I doubt they go too far into playoffs. Rooting for Detroit as second favorite team. They got robbed. Hope they see Cowboys again.

Now I really want Detroit to get Dallas again the playoffs, and a repeat of 1991.

IIRC at that time Detroit had lost to the Redskins something like 14 straight times going into that game.

Nobody was beating the Redskins that year.

It’s like neither the eagles nor Dallas wants to win the East.

You mean WILL NOT BE I hope! As of today the Ravens are the team to beat in the AFC. Their playoff record under Lamar Jackson is doubtful at best (1 - 2). But if he and the Ravens break through..... OMG.

Impy took a good run at 16-0. He had a chance.

And Packers kicking Vikings butt. Which will put an end to the Vikings postseason hopes.
