THE RINGER FREE

A disturbing trend recently…take care of the football!Īlso a good thread on how good the BAL offense has been overall despite an inability to put games away i the 2nd half. Our friend Josh looked back a little further, and found a disturbing trend.Įvery #Ravens Q4 turnover while leading I found since 2019. Against Miami, they got shut out on the goalline early, then couldn’t put together anything resembling a game-sealing drive late. Last week, they didn’t put up a single point in the second half. Going back to what I mentioned earlier about blowing leads, while the defense of course gets a lot of blame, the offense isn’t without fault. Let’s keep things Flock-centric from here on out. What I do know? Finding a quarterback is HARD. I don’t know what the right answer is to that situation. Maybe the Ravens shouldn’t give Lamar Jackson a blank check. On the other side, the Colts are on their latest in a long line of over-the-hill retread signal callers, Matt Ryan. He has just four touchdowns and three picks so far, and looks nothing like “Danger Russ.” The Broncos lost to the Colts at home last night, 12-9, and Russ cooked to the tune of 21-for-39 with no touchdowns and two interceptions, and several plays like the one above. KJ Hamler was slamming his helmet after the game. But so far, the results have been dreadful in Denver. Speaking of being careful what you wish for, Denver Broncos fans were ecstatic when their squad brought in Russell Wilson this offseason, giving up two first-round picks, two second-round picks, and more to get him, then signing him to a five-year, $245M extension. There are always tradeoffs in this league though, so fans should be careful what they wish for. Hey, they got their rings, so it’s all good, right? Perhaps. The Rams traded away all their apples, oranges, and pears. They “went all in,” and traded away the majority of their future draft classes in the process.

The Rams, of course, went to the Super Bowl twice in four years, winning it last year over Cincinnati. These fans claim that “the salary cap is fake” and point at the Los Angeles Rams as the model of success they’d like to follow.

THE RINGER FREE

There is a large contingent of the flock – a very vocal one on Twitter – who hate the team’s approach, which centers upon building depth throughout the roster through the draft and shrewd trades, while eschewing big-name free agent splashes, especially at “sexy” positions like wide receiver.
