CAPE

lol so dramatic. There are plenty of folks who don't think cramping had anything to do with not going for it on 4th down. Also he got back up after this hit and walked off the field- didn't hobble.

You are missing the point. Harbaugh didn't make the decision to punt based on any input from Jackson. He literally defended it by saying he trusts his defense in that spot. Oh really? Based on what? I know Lamar said he was cramping, but I don't buy it. The offense was stagnant. He cramped handing off the ball to Henry as he fumbled it? Then watching Josh Allen engineer a comeback?? On the drive in question he handed off to Henry, pitched the ball to Flowers on a jet sweep, then stood in the pocket and threw a 6 yd pass. He is a well conditioned world class athlete. Yes at the the end of that play, he took a viscous hit, so maybe he was a bit shook from that. If that's the case then take the damn timeout. The reality is Harbaugh made the decision in isolation to punt. As Tony Soprano would say.. end of story.

Sigh.. Fucking Harbaugh. Almost want to root for a disaster of a season so they finally get rid of him.

Did he? I think his position(which I agree with) is the pattern in Fall(esp early) is not a reliable predictor of the upcoming predominant winter pattern. Unless one wants to simply go with climate models depicting a particular ENSO state/strength and look at historical outcomes. Last year would not have worked out based on that as it was a weak Nina which has always completely sucked in the greater DC area for snow.

lol he was available. You really think Lamar would miss a pivotal play because of a cramp? During the post game presser said he was cramping, which is why he didn't push Harbaugh to go for it when he made the decision to punt. That's the only time that tidbit of info came up. Personally I think he was covering for his coach in that moment because he was essentially asked whether he thought they should have gone for it. And why not use a time out there? if they make the first down they run the clock out. Harbaugh really has no feel for when to be aggressive and when not to be. In game/in the moment decisions and clock management are so fundamental for a HC, and he sucks at it. https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/breaking-news/article/lamar-jackson-said-cramps-played-role-in-critical-decision-to-punt-to-bills-john-harbaugh-stands-up-for-ravens-defense-141316519.html

Not hitting climo doesn't equate to a dead ratter though. An inch or less like a few years ago is a dead ratter. I mean, that could happen again but if the Pac ridge in more poleward and over AK we should get some cold shots and then its just a matter of timing a wave or 2. Most of the recent Ninas have have featured snowstorms, albeit better for the eastern areas wrt climo than NW locales. Mostly a function of NS dominance and tendency for more southern tracking disturbances to develop surface lows right at the coast/ a bit offshore.

Christ fire him now. That defense wasn't ever going to stop Allen and the Bills at that point. And predictably they instantly were in FG range anyway after the punt. Put it in the hands of your 2 time MVP QB and Henry to get 3 damn yards then run the clock out.

Its a feature of a Harbaugh coached team.

The Ravens have now lost 11 games since 2021 when leading by 7 or more points in the fourth quarter- most in the NFL over that span. Hmmm..

Saving him for Christmas I guess.

The Ravens have one of the toughest schedules this season. This is a game they needed to finish, and win. It would be one thing if they played badly and got behind and it was never a contest-like what happened to Detroit today. But that never happens. Its always letting games they should have in hand get away. Why does that occur so often? I think I know lol.

For a so called great team, the Ravens have way too many of those. My opinion for several years now is that Harbaugh should move on, if the team truly has SB aspirations. Wouldn't be surprised at all if they play flat next week at home against an inferior opponent and start 0-2, like last season.

Monken is overrated too. And Harbaugh is so rigid. Why always Henry in those situations? So predictable. Mitchell is a speedy game breaker. Not a single touch tonight.

Zach Orr will probably make a great defensive assistant. He is not a DC.

Promote Pagano to DC.

Pathetic. All I can say is despite the Henry fumble, when your offense scores 40 and you lose, the defense SUCKS.

Not unusual this time of year for that area. East of the highlands will see that same message in maybe another 6 weeks, and east of there longer than that.

Giants wont be sticking with Wilson as the starter very long lol.

Aaaaand the Steelers win. Jets played well overall and should have won.

LOL Brandon Stephens. Awkwardly dropped a would be interception that might have sealed it for the Jets. Then a typical PI call where he had zero awareness of where the ball was to help the Steelers on this drive that will probably win the game for them. Enjoy Jets fans!

Mostly dry but also normal to below normal temps through mid month. Longwave pattern supports surface HP to our NW/N/NE throughout.

Just about done other than some very light rain/drizzle. Would be nice to see a little sun this afternoon. 1.68" total. Only 2" for the month of August, so much needed.

I was hoping it would clear early but looks like on and off showers through noon. Sitting at 1.48" for the event so far.

That was pretty insane. Meanwhile the Dodgers, who many predicted would easily win over 100 games with their embarrassment of riches, continue to scuffle and would be playing in the wildcard round as the 3 seed.

Got a nice period of moderate rain here from that line too. Up to 1.35"
