vmax Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 "Statistically the Ravens and Bears are very close in most categories and the Bears beat the Steelers who crushed the Ravens. I smell a potential upset except I think Tribinsky will suffer the same fate of other rookie QB's who came to Baltimore. DUD: JAVORIUS ALLEN, RUNNING BACK, BALTIMORE RAVENSAllen rushed for a career-best 73 yards and a touchdown last week while the Ravens enjoyed a comfy lead against the Oakland Raiders. The third-year running back might be challenged to continue with those flashy numbers when the Ravens host the Bears. The Bears' run defense is ranked much higher than that of Oakland. Furthermore, quarterback Joe Flacco should not find it as easy to gain an early lead. The Bears permitted only 141 passing yards and one touchdown to the Vikings last game. And, Flacco has been anything but elite this year. Running the clock with Allen may not be an option. The Vikings have a better offense than the Ravens. Then again, just about everybody does.And the Ravens game plan and intention on offense is no secret.. Do DC's lose sleep at night over this? But the 12th man will turn the tide.I see a Ravens win in a close game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 It shouldn't be. The Ravens have far more talent. But I suspect you are right. This is screaming trap game to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmax Posted October 14, 2017 Author Share Posted October 14, 2017 This game better not be a snoozer between 2 inept teams.But I'll take a snoozer if the Ravens offense wakes up and piles it on the Bears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varaven45 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Yep, another close one. Could come down to final possession. Sound familiar ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varaven45 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Well, we were who we thought we were. And it came down to a last possession against a rookie QB playing his first game on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmax Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 I got the close game stuff right but as usual, as in life, I fall a little short... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
