Lamar Jackson to miss "multiple games"

Link to the Depot

Being reported that Lamar may miss multiple games.

Never cheering for injuries, but hopefully we can take care of business over the next couple of weeks and they continue to lose games.

 

Sweet! When did Kahn trade for Lamar Jackson?

 

When @STD gave him permission
you know he loves some LJack

 

LoL.

 

I don’t wish to see any NFL player injured but between Burrows and Jackson, one could argue this division is suddenly wide open for the Steelers. That said, we have some very significant injuries ourselves. Not to mention hoping Rodger’s can survive 17 games under a suspect O-line.

 

What’s with all the hamstring injuries in the league this year. Does it seem higher than normal???

 

Is it now okay to jump on the Tomlin to Super Bowl bandwagon?

 

Yeah, about Rodgers staying healthy.

Coinflip IMO.

 

Some Steeler fans are applauding Wright today:

 

At 1-3, this injury ends the Ravens season if they lose the next game. Very few team come back from a 1-4 start to make the playoffs.

 

IMO the greatest team never to win a SB did it in 1976.

 

Certainly makes it harder.

But their schedule gets easier and they still have lots of division games ahead of them.

 

I don't think that would put the Ravens out of the playoffs their schedule is kind of easy after the Rams game.

 

Don't jinx us

 

That would be way too early to write them off. The schedule does get easier. I wouldn't be shocked if Jackson misses the next two games and they are 1-5, but that could easily turn into 10-7 or 11-6 if they can get healthy.

 

I bet the Ravens will find a way to win at least one of their next two games vs the Texans and Rams, then they have a bye Lamar could return by then.

 

Texans have the #6 defense yds/game and the #1 scoring defense in the league against a back up qb. The Rams have a top 12 scoring offense against the #32 scoring defense. They very easily could lose both, or win both.
Weird year. The Ravens have become the Bengals (great offense, horrid defense). The Bengals have become the Browns (horrid offense and defense). The Browns have become the Steelers (horrid offense, great defense). And the Steelers have become the Ravens (Okay offense, great defense).

 

Getting the Ravens into 3rd and long becomes more important. Henry typically comes off the field in that situation. Teams can better rush Cooper Rush in this situation. Not discounting Hill, he's a very good runner and catches passes well. It's just that offense without LJ or Henry on the field is not that scary on 3rd and long. And with their defensive woes since week one, they need the offensive fire power they will be lacking.

 

Flacco should be available soon to re-sign. Maybe old #43 will suit up if that's the case when Steelers play them.

 

The better question is why does a Qb have to miss games with a hamstring injury. I watch Mahomes win playoff games , and a SB on basically one leg. I seen many many many QBs play with leg injuries.

 

Cooper Rush is not good. Especially under pressure, and that BAL OL will allow pressure. And he is not a threat to run like LJ. BAL's offense completely changes with LJ out.

 

Rush won some games with the Cowboys, but they won't be able to run the same offense as they do with Lamar.

 

Baltimore could very easily be 1-5 if Lamar is out the next two games. Wow it’s like the stars are aligning for us right now. The game vs Buffalo could be for a 1 seed!!
