DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2021 NFL Season Looking Back: Browns 7 Patriots 45 Other Games

This is one of those weeks that I look at our AFCN schedule and think “UGH, really?”

Pittsburgh vs Detroit
Baltimore at Miami

Neither will lose. We must keep pace.

I think Baltimore is going to win, as long as Lamazr Jackson stays healthy.
If I were still alive in survivor, wouldn't be a bad idea to pick Baltimore, but didn't look at the rest of the matchups this week.

Baltimore and Miami to play on Thursday night.

Every time I watch a Fox pregame show I wonder: Why are they standing on a little football field?

National Anthem.... damn!

That was impressive as all get-out!

He is fantastic. I've seen him a hand full of times.

Delay of game was costly...only 3 points.

Tucker missed a field goal? What the doodly?

I can't bring myself to watch the Rats unless they are playing us.... hope the Phins can pull off the upset...

'Fins D came to play.
BAL: 0-5 on 3rd downs.

I’m not sure Miami could score a TD if they played 8 quarters

Why not just say 2 games.
What are the Dolphins doing to keep the purple team, with a low score so far.

Who is playing Quarterback for the dolphins? he said as the camera finaly shows the back of his jersey reads Brissett.
Jacoby Brissett? Wow!

and a non call of defensive holding to help out the purple pirates. NFL,
Not Worth Watching.

Brissett looks like he hurt his knee really badly.

Miami defense showing the rest of the league how to defend Baltimore (at least so far, there's 24 minutes of game play left)

I didn't see the play he hurt his knee.
Ogbah got a sack. What are the Dolphins doing??
Oh
The Dolphins are not rushing the QB, the are rushing to the side of the QB, where his dump off lane would be, and then zeroing in on the QB.
Taking Lamar Jackson's dance lane away from him.

Brissett? now they are saying he is good to play.

Tua is in the game. I saw Tua was about to enter the game, and just lost it!!

So Angry, WHY, he only loses games, with interceptions, he's terrible.

So Tua Taglovola has an injured finger, and he's in the game with a 6-3 lead on the purple pirates, (Baltimore)
and Tua throws a pass behind the guy
late over the middle, not intercepted but

that guys is an int. machine, never should be starting, oh well, guaranteed Miami loss unless they go back to Brissett.

Let the Dolphins Defensive players, play offense. They'd get more points.

I like when they pass the football around to whomever has the opportunity to then speak. It reminds me of being in second grade.

Not sure how that got overturned but I'm happy about it.

Hideous QB play on both sides

I don't usually listen to the television broadcast. I think , it sound like Aikman and Buck.

Aikman made fun of the lack of tds. He comes across as obnoxious and haughty. A bad announcer.

This play obviously must have hit the ground before dude grabbed it.
Because there were 3 !
1. 2. 3. replays which specifically cut off the view of the ball in an attempt to pretend it was a catch which would give the losers from b altimore manufactured success. By refs bad calls again.

But basically. Aikman is obnoxious.
Earlier, he said how great Balt was about to do pre snap. and then, Bam they gave up a big pass. on the 3rd and 1.

Aikman is just a boorish announcer with terrible opinions, and comes across like he thinks he's better than the job.
complaining about a 6-3 score.
Shows you don't care about the sport, the game, the broadcast, the viewers, or show appreciation for getting to do such a job.

Tua.
Is a worse QB than Thaddeous Lewis.

Tua throws like a girl.

He does not throw like a girl.
He may be the worst quarterback in the entire NFL.
the throw that drew the penalty 1st and goal, pass intereference in the end zone was so badly thrown it couldn't even be intercepted.

The 2nd pass on this series from the 1, was also poorly thrown and it was a straight ahead pass.
I'd be there are kickers that could throw as well.
on this play. He's almost sacked and throws a horrible pass that draws a pass intereference on the 1. face mask, and holding offset.
3rd and goal again.

about time for a pick 6 from this loser they'd be lucky to get the 3 if they kicked right here.

Great catch and run by the guard. What a great job. Had he been eligible, it would've been awesome.

Tua had 4 passes from starting at first and goal at the 1.
He completed one to an offensive lineman ineligible. Worst Qb in the NFL starting, maybe.

Dolphins are playing 8 men bunched on the line of scrimmage.
none of this 4 linebackers 6 yards off the line bull scr.

I hope Joe Woods is watching and taking notes on what the Dolphins D is doing.

ohhhh Yeeeaaahhhh!!!

Is it too soon to say maybe the law of averages is catching up to the Ravens? Probably

The 6-2 ravens are looking like a team that needed a huge officiating gaffe to beat the lions and a 2nd half meltdown by the colts coupled with a lucky vikings meltdown to be at 6-2

You read my mind. I feel a little like the gig is up on the ravens. Are people figuring Lamar out?

Don't know if I wanna finish watching this one. I can't stomach another squeak out win by their kicker.

If the Dolphins want to win.
They have to bench Tua tagliviola-fumblelaua

Tua has no pocket presence

refs trying to keep Baltimore in it - in no world is that a roughing

Refs trying their best to bail out Lamar

The Dolphins are lining up 6 or 7 or 8 defensive linemen in a bunch formation over the center.

This is stopping the Ravens partially with the exception being roughing the passer penalties and quick hot routes.

I love this look against Lamar. He can't handle it.

and the irony of calling holding when on the reply you could see two baltimore OL holding. smh

These refs are impossible...

The NFL ABSOLUTLEY REFUSES TO LET DEFENSES DOMINATE.

They demand offenses move the ball with flag after flag after flag if they have to.

It's a ridiculous display of insincere football.

Refs marched them right down the damn field. Crazy

The officials want Baltimore to win. No question. 2 horrible calls against Miami on that drive, and they missed a blatant hold on Baltimore. Just ridiculous.

Miami stopped pressuring him and the refs throwing fantom flags. Smh

I really was wondering when the refs would take over.

Phins should've went for it on 4th down just to keep the ball.

Between the BS calls and Miami standing around on the TD, this looks rigged

Ravens can thank the Refs for that drive. Wow
When are we due for some gifts like that?🤦🏻

Joe buck is even calling out the bs

Where's the flag?

Swim fish, swim!

Ok, I know dolphins are mammals....

YES!

Ravens 'bout to go 6-3!!!!!

TD!!

the fat lady is done warming up and is ready to perform

Lamar Jackson hasn’t looked “elite” tonight.
Great job by that defense shutting him down!

I don't know if the refs wanted the Ravens to win but they certainly wanted to make sure the Ravens scored to keep it interesting.

Fins up!

I'm a fan of this game

GAME OVER

Yep. That should be it .... and it was great!

Absolutely perfect ending!!!!!!

and Lamar Jackson has one more interception than the other guys, to seal the game.
YES!!! Schaudenfreud.

Love the Lamar pick to end it.
If the Dolphins can beat them… Go Browns!!

Very enjoyable final minute or so, for sure.

Spent the last hour thinking of how mad I would be when the Rats pull it out. Refs did their best to keep them alive, but the 'Phins closed the deal!

Very aggressive defense by Miami, and Jackson didn't seem to like it at all. Lamar seems to lose his mind a bit when he gets frustrated. It's about time an unlikely loss tightens this division up after all of the unlikely wins by the Ravens this year.

I love it when the Rats lose.

MIA jut wrote the blueprint on how to throttle BAL:
Collapse the pocket when you can. Always maintain 'outside contain' so Lamar has nowhere to squirt... and apply constant pressure. Make him win with his arm- off his back foot. Pressure makes elite QB's average. Always.

Miami's D made Baltimore's O look absolutely pedestrian (and CLE has the personnel to lock them down even tighter than MIA did tonight).
Not only did MIA's D shut down Rat Nation's O, their O scored on them with an injured Tua, and a "write it up in the dirt" second-half readjustment.

I'm starting to think that CLE has enough to sweep BAL

Tonight's takeaway:
The Baltimore Ravens are vulnerable, on both O & D.

Miami showed the way.

Elves need to adopt this blueprint.... and crush these villains.

Baltimore moves to 6-3. The crappy part is: they legit SHOULD have lost against Indy, KC, Detroit, and Las Vegas. That would mean they are closer to a 2-7 record

I woke up and saw the highlights... my first thought was that the Browns defense needs to watch this game tape on repeat the two weeks we play them.... the Rats are a good team but have gotten damn lucky this year....

RavenKiller is smiling down on us this morning.

We still feel your presence here, champ.

Great point cap

Nailed that 100%. The game this week vs Pats and the back to back games vs the Ravens probably define the season. The NFL has been given the blueprint ... who will follow it?

To add: Not only did they stay aggressive on D .... hopefully KS was paying attention on how aggressive play calling on O also helps you close out games.

This game vs NE has become a huge swing game. If we can get to 6-4 with Detroit looming before the Baltimore games we are RIGHT where we need to be.

If we lose this game it’ll be a dagger.

I liked the defense that they employed on third and long … 7 guys literally right on the line and then quarters at the sticks

That was a hilarious play

J/c

**BREAKING**

Roethlissberger OUT v. DET, as hell be in.COVID protocol.

Of course the hapless Lions are their opponent this week. Along with it being a home game.
They even get breaks when they have bad things happen.

I would guess Roethlisberger is out next week too. It’s usually ten days at least in the protocol.

I thought it depended on vaccination status? For example, Chubb could have tested out and played this Sunday because he was vaccinated, whereas Rodgers couldn’t last week because he wasn’t. Maybe not … it all gets murky to me.

....and the Lions arguably get shafted by the officials as much as we do against league favorites.

It's not 10 days if vaccinated, at least I don't think so. Hopefully no one else got it. Mason Rudolph, wow. At least he's 5-4 as a starter. We'll see how he does. Detroit is not as bad as their record. This might be a very close game.

Come on Lions!!!! Let's pull this off!

Well there is this from last week.


https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-offici...multiple-calls-against-bears-in-week-9-l

The NFL is standing behind Monday night's controversial taunting call against Bears linebacker Cassius Marsh, affirming it Friday with a fine.

But privately, members of the NFL's officiating department who reviewed the game acknowledged that referee Tony Corrente and his crew erred on at least three separate critical calls and non-calls that went against Chicago in that 29-27 loss -- including a low block penalty on the Bears that nullified a Justin Fields touchdown pass, sources familiar with the league's thinking said.

Officials also missed multiple penalties by the Steelers, including a late hit on Fields that would've given the Bears first-and-goal on the same third-quarter drive and offsides by multiple Steelers on Cairo Santos' 65-yard field goal attempt that fell short as time expired.

A league spokesman declined comment, which is common on officiating matters. A Bears spokesman also declined comment.



The NFL generally doesn't discipline officials for judgment calls, though being downgraded for performance can affect officials' postseason assignments.

Corrente's nationally televised taunting call on Marsh wiped out a third-down stop in the final minutes and became the new centerpiece of the public debate over the NFL's point of emphasis on calling that foul. NFL senior vice president of officiating Perry Fewell indicated in a social media video the call was correct, and Marsh was fined $5,972 for unsportsmanlike conduct.

But no call was more impactful than the low-block flag on right guard James Daniels, who appeared to be at the edge of the tight end box and made minimal contact with the defender. The penalty reversed a 1-yard touchdown pass from Fields to tight end Jimmy Graham on the Bears' first possession of the second half, leaving them facing second-and-goal from the 16.


Two plays later, Steelers linebacker Alex Highsmith knocked down Fields from behind well after he released the ball, but no flag was thrown and the Bears had to settle for a field goal that cut Pittsburgh's lead at the time to 14-6. Fields said after the game he told Corrente that "Big Ben just got that call" -- referring to a roughing call against Mario Edwards on the previous drive -- and he needs it called both ways.

Several Steelers appeared to be lined up in the neutral zone on Santos' attempt at a game-winning field goal, which came up well short. A penalty would've given Santos another chance from five yards closer, or perhaps brought Fields back on for a Hail Mary attempt.

Instead of Fields leading a signature road win and keeping Chicago within a half-game of the No. 7 NFC playoff spot, the Bears went into this weekend's bye at 3-6. They host the Baltimore Ravens next Sunday.

Two negative tests or ten days and no symptoms. Negative tests are rare that soon if you have the virus.

Lions almost(should've) beat the ravens. I suppose there is hope.

Lions got a bum kicker

Suddenly, the AFC North doesn’t look all that good.

Lions will beat us next week

"The Bengals were off." The whole division was "off."

Shoud the Browns use more of the play clock on the opening drive of the game next week?

Well, If the Browns get the ball to open the game if the opening drive of the game is the Browns on offense,
should the Browns,
use more play clock between each play, on offense??

It seemed today they were in such a hurry, were snapping the ball with 20 seconds still on the play clock even with it moving.

The Lions played the Steelers way tougher than we did. And they have zero talent
