This is gonna be another epic game between these two QBs. I don’t think we’ll be looking at a 42-36 score haha But it’s gonna be a good one and crucial in AFC seeding. 


This should be a highly entertaining game. This is a tough game for us with Houston coming off the bye. We have a brutal schedule.

Yeah we do as well. First you guys, then Colts on a short week, then New England...things are heating up down the stretch. This is where teams show who they really are.

You guys absolutely destroyed them! Made me feel better on how the Patriots looked lol


It’s a long season. Obviously I love the way the Ravens are playing , but we have more tough games ahead. At LA Rams, SF at home. 
 

To be totally honest , I have never seen an offense like this in the Ravens era. We’ve been almost exclusively a defensive oriented franchise. I have to go back to the Johnny Unitas/ Bert Jones years of the Baltimore Colts for anything somewhat comparable. Even watching that , I’ve never seen anything like I’ve seen with Lamar. I’m stunned myself .

Another Patriots break 

The Pats D is legit, the Ravens were the only team really move the ball consistently on them.   Be interesting see if anyone can figure a way to slow down their College style O. (Which isn’t an insult just what it is a triple option, RPO, all things you see in college not the pros)

Less than 300 yards passing.. I’m still more afraid of his legs than his arm.. :) I see a rematch of n the Razor for the AFC Championship. 


He’s not into stats , or passing yards. He does what it takes to win.  The thing you are missing is the Ravens defense is now coming around. Seven sacks today, and let up only seven points to a good Houston team.

He did look a bit slow today. They had most of their offensive lineman back, and we haven’t had many sacks except for today. One of our top defensive lineman, Michael Pierce was out today, but Decosta picked up two DT’s off the scrap heap, just like he did getting inside linebackers Bynes and Fort. The amazing thing is the defense has gotten better ! I think the key trade was getting Marcus Peters for a 5th round pick , and underperforming linebacker Kenny Young. This gives the Ravens three top press cornerbacks Humpheys , Peters, and Smith. These are top coverage guys allowing Martindale to blitz more. This defensive rebuild on the fly is almost as impressive as what Lamar has done. 
I’m not worried about playing at New England in the AFC Championship. We are 2-2 up there, and could have been 4-0 in the playoffs. The bottom line is this is a young team, and they need to be concerned about stacking wins, winning the division, and just taking it game by game. This is a team just trying to get better each week.

Wasn’t meant as an insult saying I expect a rematch at the Razor, or that I thought it was a sure win.  It was meant to say I don’t see any team stopping the other till then is all. (Mind you that can change one injury to Jackson or Brady and well it’s over for either club)

 

the Ravens future looks bright I feel this is the Pats last chance at glory with Brady at the helm, I have a feeling Stidham takes over next year.  Pats draft O lineman and well if he stinks and the Pats are pitifully bad.. we are in the hunt for the Clemson QB the next draft.    Sounds just like a BB plan lol

      Pick #46/ #82 What's Available Day 2? Discussion

      By Solid84 · Posted

      Don’t know, the whole college system is weird to me lol.    I hope Latu is what we need, because our pressure numbers were pretty low. He’s the best shot at improve those numbers though.

      Deebo is very physical but I think they want more of a take the top of the defense type of guy so they cannot bring their safeties down would you do a trade for Higgins?

      Loved that the colts got to pick the first defensive player in the draft! I would love to see a lb with their 2nd pick!

      The film is just incredible. He beat the blocker and ran over the running back. Just… insane.

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      I loved the pick. I had him as a dark horse because of his medical and felt he may slide because of it. Honestly, when it came to #15, he never really entered my mind, as I felt they would pass on him. People asked who they wanted at #15 and in one of my posts, I said a football player. I wanted Mitchell but I also raised the idea of Latua in other posts..  I really praise Ballard for this pick. I said he needed to come away with a play maker and there had to be some amount of pressure on him to do so. Apparently, information is out there that he tried to move up and I also said, I had a feeling this was a year they were going to try and make a move. I give a lot of credit to Ballard for picking the guy who has a lot of production and if he fails, so be it. I also told people on this board that this pass rush was not good enough. Ballard's eagerness to sign Hunter should have been a sign that he felt so as well. I said to watch free agency and it will tell you what their true needs are. He wanted Hunter and Sneed. The rumor is that he wanted to trade up into the 1st and everyone is saying it was probably a receiver. That is shocking to me but once again, I will give Ballard an A+ so far, because he was willing to be aggressive.  I do Steichen is having some influence on Ballard because of his days with the Eagles and how aggressive they are in the draft. I think this shows that he realizes that he needs to have play makers to play with the elite teams and you have to take some risk to get those type of players. I have been hard on Ballard, but he has knocked it out of the park so far. He took a guy with a questionable medical history, addressed a glaring need and a position that is needed to make this defense work. Don't be mislead by last year's sack totals. This team lost a pile of games in the 4th quarter last year because they could not pressure the qb. Now he needs a wr, S and corner. I wouldn't be surprised to see him move up in the 2nd. Way to go Ballard!!!
