The purple kool aid has me thinking this is a winnable game.

But....

The part of me that knows the game...that seldom seen, rational part says the Ravens have no shot.

It's a pipe dream.

 

You don't turn this boring and embarrasing wreck around in 1 week....

 

In 15 games with Mornhinweg calling the plays, the Ravens have failed to consistently move the ball and reach the end zone, ranking No. 22 in total yards (330.1) and points scored (20.6). After four games, Flacco has completed only two passes on throws of 15 yards or longer and has been intercepted four times on such passes. That means twice as many of Flacco's deep throws have gone to the other team than the Ravens themselves.

The Ravens' inability to stretch the field is reaching embarrassing proportions. Flacco's average of 5.09 yards per attempt is the worst in the NFL since Bruce Gradkowski's 5.06 in 2006.

The other quarterbacks with worst yards per attempt averages under 5.25 since 2001 include: Kyle Orton, Joey Harrington, JaMarcus Russell and Brady Quinn. This shows the level of struggle for Flacco and the Ravens offense. There are bad quarterbacks, and then there are Harrington and Russell....http://www.espn.com/blog/baltimore-ravens/post/_/id/39454/joe-flacco-has-completed-twice-as-many-deep-passes-to-defenses-than-ravens

I watched Maryland Ohio State yesterday.

Do I have to live through a repeat today?

 

I'm feeling the Joe's going to push/force today. He's going to go all out to make plays.

That usually means a ton of interceptions and sacks.

 

 

 

+7: In wins against the Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns, the Ravens owned a +7 turnover differential on the strength of 10 takeaways and three giveaways. In losses against the Jacksonville Jaguars and Pittsburgh Steelers, the differential slid to -5 on six giveaways and one takeaway.

21: That is how many combined catches the Ravens’ top three wide receivers in Jeremy Maclin (10 receptions), Mike Wallace (nine), and Breshad Perriman (two) have made so far. Fifteen individual receivers in the NFL each have caught 22 passes or more.

127.3: That is how many rushing yards the Ravens have averaged in four games, which ranks as the ninth highest in the NFL. Conversely, the Raiders rank 24th in the league in rushing defense after allowing 120.0 yards.http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/ravens-insider/bs-sp-three-stats-ravens-raiders-20171006-story.html

I'm digging for any kind of hope.

Found this.....

 

 

Only four teams in the AFC have NOT lost at least two games.
That’s right, we’re only four weeks into the 2017 season, but three-fourths of the teams in the Ravens’ conference have already gone down at least twice. Overall, 22 of the league’s 32 teams have at least two losses.
I bring it up not to emphasize that the season is far from over in Baltimore. That’s obvious, despite what the past two weeks suggest....http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/article-1/Eisenberg-Ravens-Arent-the-Only-NFL-Team-With-Issues-/a2cb3ff4-986d-4549-918d-79773cb90516
