They were stupid a week ago and barely gave him work and lost. That'll work like a lesson for them and he'll get his from now on. Vrabel did same. It's so very ridiculous it defied logic.
I saw that interview with "me MVP? No Lamar is." then "yeah man, so happy for DeAndre" I couldn't get over how blissfully happy he is. Like he's a little kid at a birthday party or...I mean it's beyond just happy to do well. It's so wonderful to see.
They should have signed 100 CBs and Safeties. Their pass defense is so bad I feel like I'm watching a team of destiny until someone throws for 400 on them in the playoffs. Why didn't they trade for secondary help? It's starting to bug me as I root for Henry and Lamar

Denver loaded up the line in the first half. After getting torched by Jackson through the air, the Broncos had to back off in the second half and Henry went wild.
As for the second bolded quote, they did trade for a DB. They've also been pretty banged up back there all season and many of those guys are coming back healthier now.
Baltimore's bigger problem on defense is that they can't consistently rush the passer.
I must have missed a trade.
Oh yeah
What are your options if you’re concerned? Saquon is the only player I would consider trading him for and I doubt the other owner would be interested.

I’m in a super flex and I need a QB desperately as it’s the highest scoring position by far. Was looking to do a 2 for 1

The only thing that can stop him his stupid o line penalties that make them start 1st and 15 so many times

Yep. Hurts to see a drive start with 1st and 15 or 1st and 20 and they trot Hill out there. Just dumb.
Waiting for some random Steelers LB to call him soft...

Hey look they misused him today, gave him his lowest # of carries all season, and they got an L to show for it. Go figure.
Completely dominated a hot Broncos team, and made it look easy. So, once again, "amazing how different the team looks when they play Henry like they're supposed to"
And now this week, give him only 13 touches, let Lamar complete fewer than half his attempts, and take home a loss.
It's not that hard, Ravens.

Well not with that attitude you're not, mister!

I hope I don't go against him next week, because it could get ugly for me.

This is what I don't get from Baltimore. Close game, Henry is a home run hitter once he wears a defense down and they play Justice Hill 100% for the 4th like they were down 20.

Not to give the coaching staff any credit but Baltimore had two drives in the 4th quarter.This is what I don't get from Baltimore. Close game, Henry is a home run hitter once he wears a defense down and they play Justice Hill 100% for the 4th like they were down 20.
The first Lamar ran for 25 yards and then threw a pick.
The second drive was a touchdown drive where they were low on time and played hurry up down 8.
A little bit of credit to the Steelers defense and offense who controlled the clock and played it pretty perfectly to their advantage.

Agreed. So, Henry should have been plenty well-rested for that 2-pt try. I mean, he looked comfortable... on the bench.
I'm a Steelers fan by the way so I was happy with him sitting there.

Probaly very true. I actually didn’t get to watch the game. And don’t own Henry.

And trying to give a fair and biased opinion on the 4th quarter carries.

I remember in that Steelers game him being upset with himself that he fumbled, but I think that happened in the 2nd quarter.

He had a nice TD too and a penalty brought it back then Jackson ran it in instead ... he'd have had 160 and 1 TD if not for that :(

and it was one of those terrible illegal formation calls. Lineman 1/8th of an inch off the line, not even involved in the play

On pace for over 300 carries. Looking at it he had a 378 carry season. Crazy
Been sore as could be over that sequence of plays. Ended a teams season of mine were I needed a team to lose that had Lamar -10 vs Henry entering the game and they ended up winning by .45 points with that play being about a 13 point swing.
I know, I know.

Really old thread where a guy was selling a t-shirt with a bunch of fantasy whining/excuses on where if something bad happened to your team you could “point to the shirt”.I am sure this has been addressed 1000x, but what is the meaning of the finger pointing to a t-shirt?Been sore as could be over that sequence of plays.

It became a legend/meme of sorts around here. (Did memes even exist then?)
The link to the actual shirt is in the thread below if you need to see it.

Barkley has him beat though. Great year regardless.

Got 25.9 thanks to those catches and going over 100. A TD would have been beautiful but I'll take the good start for the semis.
I'm not sure Barkley should. Henry has a slightly higher YPC, despite a much worse OL. Its nitpicking between 2 elite players, just feels I don't know, like Henry isn't getting enough credit to me. Then again, I think Henry is the best RB of the last 20 years, and a future HOFer, so its possible I'm just a little defensive for the guy.

We'll see how Barkley does tomorrow. If he rips off another 150yd day, he'll have maintained his lead. Would be hard to give it to Henry over Barkley when they both play the same position and Barkley has better stats.
