The Blackbears find more creative ways to lose football games than any team I've ever seen.
For my money, the Harbaugh/Jackson-led Baltimore Ravens have this crown on permanent lockdown for many years to come. They win the vast majority of the games they are supposed to and sometimes look spectacular doing it (see Lions, Seahawks this year) but some of their losses are just short of gift-wrapping victories for the opposition, including their two this year (vs. Colts, at Steelers).
:shock: :shock: :shock:
this is what you get when you try to run your offense with a RB under center instead of a QB. lamar Jackson has NEVER been able to win the big game! We are cursed with him for another 4 years... :roll: I had so hoped they would move on from him last march...

Truer words never spoken. His Apologists in the Media will blame everyone and everything else. Bottom line it was all set up for him and the Ravens and they blew it again. The QB is 3-6 in the Playoffs.

The Ravens are the Sixers of the NFL.

Built to win in the regular season but not built to win when it matters most.

Lamar Jackson, the 2nd coming of Randall Cunningham.

I like Harbaugh, but he won't win anything with Lamar!!!!

The NFL is really predictable right now. The 49ers will own the 2nd half, the Ravens and Cowboys will underperform in the post season and the Bills will be wide right. As Yogi says, it’s Deja Vu all over again.

It baffles how anyone could argue that bringing new fans, especially female fans, to the NFL could be a bad thing, especially considering the many issues the league's had in recent years with the documented abuse of women by players and administrative staff. Who cares if the camera cuts to a celebrity celebrating her guy's achievements several times during a game? Football is ENTERTAINMENT. Get a grip. We've tolerated worse during NFL football broadcasts like Alex Hawkins' moronic commentary and Up With People's Super Bowl embarrassing half-time performances. If you don't know what I'm talking about, look them up.

For sure. It is only a good thing for the NFL. Most get that. The others need to simmer down and drink a Bud Lite.

Anyway, not unhappy that Mr. Regular Season aka Lamar Jackson didn’t get it done in the playoffs again.

It's not that THAT opinion is DIFFERENT; it's just that it's overly sensitive and lacks reasonable perspective. But no harm, no foul there. The fact that a particular segment has taken the topic to the next level by spinning a truly wacko political conspiracy is what's uniquely absurd. Alas, freedom gives us the option to change the channel on TV we don't enjoy.

Agree that a chilling is needed, since it's all just entertainment, business as usual, and nothing new under the sun. Need evidence? Well, see Joe DiMaggio/Marilyn Monroe, Terry Bradshaw/JoJo Starbuck, Broadway Joe/half of Hollywood's starlets, etc.

Have you seen some of the histrionics and wild conspiracy theories being spread on this in some sections of the media? Those folks definitely need to simmer down, putting it mildly. Hope you aren’t one of them.

Anyway, the Swift-Kelce thing is awesome for the NFL. You may not like it, but it just is.
