Where is the crazy prediction thread from Cool-X?

Maybe Ricard leads the team in receiving yards tonight?

“How I’m feeling right now,” he told the Washington Post, “I wish I was feeling like this, body-wise, in the AFC Championship. We would have won the game. I would have been able to move around for my guys. With me just hurting and can’t move, I know if my legs were good, we would have won that s---. We wouldn’t have even had to throw the ball. F--- throwing the ball.”

So he's saying he wasn't feeling up to running the ball.

I have my questions about that and the gameplan then.

Either way, even Lamar knows Lamar needs to run the ball.

You read all that and still managed to be the first person to try to imply he just didn't want to run? Saying "he wasn't feeling up to it" is saying he didn't want to

Was he physically unable? He got that long carry early in the game.

I'm staying what I think is obvious. At that point in the season, everyone is hurt. No-one is feeling good. The question is - are you injured, and can you go? Lamar could go and I think the gameplan was obvious we were willing to spread the chiefs out and run from there, with either Lamar or checks to handoffs or checkdowns to the RBs.

That didn't get executed. And yeah, I dont buy that he couldn't run. I buy that he didn't run. Choices were made realtime that added up to a loss.

Man, you don't stop. So after starting the narrative that Lamar is a pothead who skips film study days amd then faked an injury, you're now going to start another bs narrative that he just didn't want to run. The fact he ran for pretty much his season average rush yardage probably doesn't matter to you when you have a chance to start another fake story.

And this was after he ran for 100 the week prior.

148 rushing attempts for 821 yards and 5 TDs. You are so right. Lamar did what he always does on the ground. There was no drop off in attempts. It was an inline season for Lamar on the ground. The only thing down was the yards per carry. It's why Lamar lost so much weight this offseason. It's something he wants to address
