Still buzzing from this morning!

Woke up to catch the Texans vs Chargers game, thinking it would be pretty easy for the road team to win. The Texans have done nothing on offense for I don't even know how long.

Chargers were dominant in the first quarter and a bit, but Texans defense were doing just enough to keep them in it. Many football fans know this feeling (as a Ravens fan I can tell you I have felt it many times). And sure enough, everything fell apart for the Chargers. Stroud made some INSANE plays, and they just shat on them for 3 quarters. Hell of a game and hell of an upset!

People will of course be quick to call Herbert a bust, after going 0-2 in the playoffs. I can see it already. Well it's a small sample size of 8 quarters. Out of those 8 quarters, he played 3 good to great, and 5 poor. Is that a bust? He's no Mahomes or Brady, I can say that. Let's give it another shot with some tools on the perimeter beyond a guy who looks like a child.

And then I got to watch the Ravens smash the Steelers for 3 quarters of a game, 2 of which were pure dominance (300 yards vs 60). Quarters 3 and 4 were played totally conservatively in clock killing mode, keeping half their playbook under wraps. Steelers always seem to have an insane 3rd quarter, and this was no different. Russ launching that insane moon ball, catching them with 2 scores. Still not enough

Lamar took a hard knee to the back pretty early in the game, and it was affecting his throwing ability. I hope he can recover from that by next week.

Other than that, I feel great! Amazing play by the O line, rookie RT keeping TJ Watt to zero stats (no sacks, no tackles, nothing). I did get annoyed by them running it into a stacked box to kill the clock in the 3rd and 4th quarters, but they were able to convert most of their third downs. Enough to kill the clock, but not run up the score. Eventually they played some zone read again, so it's like Monken read my mind! They were able to finish the game kneeling out because of this.

Steelers fans are having a complete meltdown, finally turning on coach Tomlin. They want him GONE. As a Ravens fan let me say: Yes please! He is winless in the playoffs in so many years, but who were his quarterbacks? Ben Roethlisberger's zombified body, Mason Rudolph, Duck Hodges, Mitch Trubisky, Kenny Pickett, Justin Fields, and Russell Wilson. Come on. No other coach would get this shit team into the playoffs, trust me.
