Lots of questions. Will the Bucs bounce back from their pathetic performance in Carolina last week ?

Will Gus continue to be the bell cow ?

Will Lamar get back to being a fantasy worthy QB ?

In a straight up pick (no line/spread) who r u picking tonight ? 

I had the Bucs early on, but switched to the Ravens.

Yes, but calling for regression to the mean isn't a particularly bold prediction.

He isn't really the "bell cow" yet (16 carries for Gus vs 26 for the rest of the team in his first week back), but when he's healthy, this is Edwards' backfield.

Probably, in some week or another.  This may be kind of a rough week for it to happen, however.

I don't care.

[BufordT 371]

I'm predicting a Rachaad Whitle coming out party.

[ZeroTolerance 582]

Wow, what a maroon! 

And the Ravens piss away a free possession inside the 10.

[Serenity Now 44]

Bad week for me to need Lamar and Gus

[ZeroTolerance 582]

And Brady misses Evans alone in the end zone. It seems one of those two will find a way to blow any score. 

[Hardcore troubadour 12,576]

Being invested in the Ravens passing game has become very frustrating the last few weeks.

Lamar on one team, Evans on the other. I should probably turn the game off now. If Jameis got the start, I would have plugged him in over Lamar, that is how bad this has gotten. 

[Hardcore troubadour 12,576]

Lamar should have taken the money. He looks like garbage and has for a little bit now.

Yup, greed might end up costing him a lot of money.

I've got Gus going.  Love the stat they just showed:  3 rushes / 15 passes.

He represents himself, right?  Guess he can't fire his agent at least.

Lamar gonna lose out on a contract if he doesn't start taking off. WTF with offense the last 4 weeks

Baltimore almost was on the hook for $200 mil to the next Cam Newton career freefall.

He looks disinterested. It's odd

[jrokh 567]

Someone will pay him…

[shorepatrol 1,735]

Balt went for it the way Lamar has looked. 

[Mike FF Today 607]

Mark Andrews has a shoulder injury and questionable to return.

Probably the Panthers 

[nobody 2,031]

Balti.ore once again eschews the three points to go for it on 4th and 2 at about the ten with 2 minutes left in the half.

It appears they'll never learn.

[Serenity Now 44]

He’s not playing well, but I think it’s being over blown on this board. They’re 4-3 and at the top of their division with an awful defense and skill positions that have been injured all year. The oline is getting worked over tonight and he’s missing one of the best TEs in the game. I wish he was doing better for my team, but when you think about who he’s working with, it’s hard to put this all on Jackson.

[Mike FF Today 607]

It's raining injuries on the Ravens...

 

[Hardcore troubadour 12,576]

2 leagues: Jackson, Brady. Andrews, Bateman. FML.

His ability to take off and smoke a defense isn't being used lately. It's odd 

[Law 220]

Soooo, Tucker could have had 16 points by now? But no! The Ravens piss away two short FGs and then the 61 yarder at the half is blocked.

That's awesome!

[Serenity Now 44]

Edwards and Jackson need to be a thunder and lightning type backfield if they want to win this.

Yeah, it's my understanding that he's acting as his own agent.

That way he won't have to pay someone 10% of the 70% he's losing by representing himself.

[Law 220]

See Baltimore? That's called kicking a field goal!!

[Philo312 41]

The Likely kid flashing some skills tonight. 

[polecatt 399]

It really would be nice if this went to OT 20-20 and Succop could hit a 50+ yarder

[polecatt 399]

NVM

[gcmmidwest 98]

Dropping Tampa D they couldn't stop a turtle

[himmystyles 29]

Is it time to consider cutting ties with Bateman? 

[nobody 2,031]

Yeah.  Not the right team for him and now he seems to be injury prone too.  If he was on the Cardinals he'd be a stud.

[GobbleDog 815]

What happened to the "vaunted Bucs defense" ? Pathetic Panthers kick the crap out of them... ok, every team has a bad game.  But now the Ravens are having their way.

Brady doesn't have to be great when the defense was working, but now they both suck.
