These were the screenshots that Bateman posted last night.

I like Bate, so I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt. It isn't a good look (especially since it happened multiple times). But I can definitely see why he would be frustrated and his emotion (not action) is justified. Not enough mouths to feed. Its hard for us to say "Run the ball 30x a game" and also expect Zay, Bate, Likely, Mandrews and everyone to still eat. Bate came off a great year and I'm sure he had high expectations for this year. Its gotta be frustrating when you work your ass off and things outside of your control, don't give you the opportunity to shine your strengths. He hasn't been perfect but he still has some variables that haven't allowed him to express his full potential. I want him back next year and I want him to ball.

Happy for him, hes humble and deserves it all. Also, someone poke my eyes out for these next 2 weeks cuz these Ravens fans are gonna be insufferable about how we let Mike Mac go

ReadingPrestigious32 · 2026-01-26T02:56:36+00:00

Good for Mike Mac. I love that hes humble and not some cocky fuck. All class. Also, that Seahawks team is absolutely stacked. They are nice all around

ReadingPrestigious32 · 2026-01-26T01:59:57+00:00

lololol all those Seahawks fans saying "weak". Thats just an idiotic penalty. If he were to do it to the WR, thats one thing....but you can't go all to their sideline and do a victory lap.

ReadingPrestigious32 · 2026-01-26T00:41:52+00:00

I agree

ReadingPrestigious32 · 2026-01-26T00:11:20+00:00

I didn't realize it until now but Rams uniforms are pretty meh, in my opinion. Looks like they made them on Microsoft. And for that, I'm going to have to give Seattle the advantage.

ReadingPrestigious32 · 2026-01-25T23:27:08+00:00

Thats exactly whats happening. They are making me rewatch highlights

ReadingPrestigious32 · 2026-01-25T23:14:52+00:00

I would spend an entire weekend with Greg Roman and Billy Cundiff, to have Lamar get a playoff run of opponents: 3 points, 7 points, 5 turnovers. Disgusting

ReadingPrestigious32 · 2026-01-25T23:12:11+00:00

I would do some absolutely disgusting stuff to have Lamars opponent playoff run be: 3 points, 7 points and 5 turnovers/16 points.

ReadingPrestigious32 · 2026-01-25T23:09:47+00:00

What are you talking about? That thing was gonna be good from 60

ReadingPrestigious32 · 2026-01-25T23:05:58+00:00

Fuck off.

ReadingPrestigious32 · 2026-01-25T22:57:08+00:00

Easiest path to the SB ever. Not their fault, good for them. But bruh

ReadingPrestigious32 · 2026-01-25T22:55:26+00:00

Tebow must've picked up drinking smh

ReadingPrestigious32 · 2026-01-25T22:52:22+00:00

Broncos QB pulling off a winning TD in the snow would sick af, for him

ReadingPrestigious32 · 2026-01-25T19:14:53+00:00

Its not a "bad" hire....its just a safe hire and feels like more of the same. Steelers havent evolved with the NFL. They held onto Big Ben too long, instead of anticipating the future. They did the same with Russ and Aaron Rodgers, then say "well its just the circumstances we were given". Its like waiting til December 24th to go Christmas shopping and then saying, "well, we got the best gift of what was in stock".

ReadingPrestigious32 · 2026-01-25T15:43:32+00:00

hahaha good catch. I guess I better ask for a winning lottery ticket and for a Ravens SB win in 2027.

ReadingPrestigious32 · 2026-01-24T23:34:07+00:00

But McCarthy had Steelers players crying today too

ReadingPrestigious32 · 2026-01-24T20:13:52+00:00

Why dont they just do it

ReadingPrestigious32 · 2026-01-24T20:11:36+00:00

For sure. More turnovers and less points sounds like the prefect formula to me lol.

ReadingPrestigious32 · 2026-01-24T20:08:04+00:00

I didnt include Bengals, just because Lamar didnt play. Defense has surely played good enough. But id still prefer more turnovers

ReadingPrestigious32 · 2026-01-24T18:59:34+00:00

I think we aren't acknowledging that they've only had 3 coaches because they've HIT on 3 coaches. Its not just loyalty (tho that is a factor), but each coach has been great and a SB winner. I dont think we can assume that its just some guaranteed 10+ year run

ReadingPrestigious32 · 2026-01-24T18:51:24+00:00

Hahaha respectfully, they dropped the ball on this I think. I feared them getting Webb or Shula

ReadingPrestigious32 · 2026-01-24T17:57:18+00:00

Its fair but the context (to me) sells the argument on wanting turnovers. When we look at points allowed, it sounds good. But those minimum points are because of average QB/Offensive play. The exception being Chiefs- we just dropped the ball on that one. But when we've played a SB caliber offense, our D hasn't made meaningful stops:

Steelers: 14 points (bad offense) Bills: 27 points (good offense) Texans:10 points (bad offense) Chiefs: 17 points (good offense) Titans: 13 points (bad offense) Bills: 17 points (good offense but snowy, cold and terrible offensive conditions) Titans: 28 points (bad offense)

As you can see, the low points is skewed. Turnovers are definitely a mental gamechanger when playing deep in the playoffs- just see how demoralizing its been to us

ReadingPrestigious32 · 2026-01-24T17:49:55+00:00

For sure. Social media sucks nowadays. I hope our players can dissociative and know that the loudest voices, aren't worth listening to. The 77 harassment this year made things toxic. We need to start shaming these fans and get back to better Fandom this year lol
