Wait, Wild, you're a Louisville guy?

Suddenly your comment about betting the ponies makes sense.

Yes sir. I live right across the river in southern Indiana.
Nice, my old man has caught a couple games there, as he's there almost every year for the Keeneland Sept. Sale and gets tix every now and again. Always says it's a great environment for a game.

Nice. Good people around here for the most part. L&N Stadium is really nice & a great place to watch a game.

lol both sides of the ball is playing flat. As I said before the season I wasn’t excited about Riley Leonard coming.

I was over that way not too long ago. Went to a place called The Union. Bar with a bunch of outdoor games and stuff. Pretty cool place.

They’ve made downtown New Albany really nice, haven’t they. Next time you’re coming this way, let me know. Beers on me.

Or perhaps it’s more scheme than anything else. Ravens fan review of Wink:

  • Wink is insanely gimmicky and predictable. All he does is blitz 24/7. He’ll have variations and change the look slightly, but QBs know it’s a blitz every time. Vs young QBs it can work, not vs more experienced ones. Wink is also completely unable to adjust in games. The blitz isn’t working? Time to blitz some more. Ravens whole problem in playoffs aside from injuries was having both the OC (Greg Roman) and DC be insanely predictable. Combine that with having a bottom 5 WR room every year, and this is why we've been so frustrated when people expect Lamar to singlehandedly win a Super Bowl. Ravens got far outcoached in playoffs every year, not just cuz Roman's a dumbass but also cuz Wink is super predictable and can't adjust.
  • You need good DBs to really have a chance for Wink’s scheme to work. Wink loves to blitz but surprisingly isn’t great at getting sacks. He also does dumb shit like dropping rushers into coverage at the worst times. We had Judon for a while and he was fairly average for the Ravens, then went off once he was on the Patriots.

I'm sure there are a few other fans out there like yourself.

Michigan just got beat by a more talented team. Defense had to deal with short field and just being on the field too much. I don't see coaching playing much of a roll.

Hauler @Hauler we have a true freshmen RB named Isaac Brown and he is the truth. Check him out if you’re switching games.

Notre Dame should not be having the trouble with Northern Illinois that they are currently having.
