Yeah if you guys want our take we had some words about this situation from last night's bills bangles game to that at the top of the NFC pod so hopefully you guys already heard that go back and listen to it.

All right let's start with the Baltimore Ravens the running back usage here was surprising to me in the Sunday night game JK Dobbins 269 and snaps over Gus Edwards JK Dobbins 173 and carries over Gus Edwards after the game Harbaugh says yeah Gus should have played more there's really no excuse for that I mean how does that happen like how can you like come out of a game and be like oh yeah Gus didn't play didn't play like that was just a mistake by us like seems weird but anyways.

Dobbins is at least somewhat pulling ahead here as we head to week 18 and what you see out of the Ravens performance against the Steelers well my takeaway from John Harbaugh's comments and you know he doesn't dictate the offensive playing time like Greg Roman does and makes it you know all the play calling decisions I wonder if that was a

indirect kind of shot at Greg Roman stemming from other offensive frustration we Gus Edwards had been running the ball really really really well for like a sustained period of time since he returned from injury so that was my take away actually that John Harbaugh might be frustrated with Greg Roman.

Interesting. Mark Andrews finally had a good game here with Tyler Huntly caught all nine of his targets and honestly like I think Mark Andrews been better than it seemed this year he's just had so many drops and so many near misses but good to see the quarterback carousel two and the quarterback stuff but yeah good to see him have a good game here Ravens still have something to play for in week 18 a lot of the AFT playoff stuff is up there but they still have something to play for in week 18 will be tracking that Buffalo and Cincinnati we already mentioned there again please go ahead.

Go back to the top of the NFC pod for some thoughts there on Demar Hamlin certainly thoughts are with him and his family Cleveland.

I mean the show Watson maybe his best game since he's been with the Browns but only 18 pass attempts because Carson wins is just so bad they just weren't forced to play a high volume of pass attempts at all but Browns go down there and get a good win in Washington what you see out of them.

Yeah everybody just kind of played pretty well I mean Chubb had a nice game he'd been dealing with some injuries and their their Browns had made some rock like the end of the roster moves that.

Kind of suggested that maybe they weren't confident in his health they the Browns made big plays in this game and that was supposed to be the element that Dishon Watson brought them.

I don't want to give Dishon Watson too much credit but you know I mean he took five sacks on 23 dropbacks you only eat only a nine completions in the game but I mean yeah I mean you know objectively like and he also ran for 31 yards this was his best start as a Brown.

Browns officially eliminated from the playoffs as of a couple weeks ago Broncos I mean this was unbelievable man like Greg Gulchich was on IR I thought maybe they'd like sprinkling Albert O a little bit and instead Albert O runs 26 routes on 43 dropbacks he's slot or wide on 32 out of his 37 snaps he gets a 16% target share he has 3451 he comes up just short of another touchdown maybe it was just in the annual hack it being the dog.

That he is that was limiting Albert O and making a healthy scratch all year and it's not that Greg Gulchich was so good or whatever Alberto was bad I mean maybe it was just a coach just didn't like him and the coach is a donkey we know that so.

Crazy how the run out was for Alberto actually had him on my best ball team then ended up winning the 333 somehow and actually used his score which is like beyond beyond beyond insane for it to run out like that but anyways what you see out of the Broncos actually put up a fight against the Chiefs.

Yeah they did the Chiefs really let him hang around the Chiefs sort of have that that tendency to do that to to to allow significantly inferior opponents we just saw it a couple weeks ago with detections to allow them to hang around and I don't know I guess maybe the Broncos got the interim coach boost or whatever but I don't know there's not a lot of big takeaways other than I guess Alberto he should get another opportunity to play a ton in the final week and that was my first inclination.

It was like you know what maybe this was Nathaniel Hackett's fault the whole time that Albert O this big athletic freak who you know scored touchdowns at an incredible rate in college and you know largely had a promising rookie season why how have they not found a role for this guy I'm blaming Nathaniel Hackett.
