Guards, Bullock and Jones, already on the team, question marks? Sure, but all indications are they can be really good. Why neither has seen the field is anyone's guess. Same reason maybe why Cleveland, who has shown he can be a real good guard & or center; Harbs/oc coach. Smith at mlb may be slowing but he still one of the better ones. Weak side backer yes, maybe Buchanan, but Im not sold on him. Still, the draft can help there. Left tackle, draft, some good ones in this comimg draft lower in the round, even better ones in the 27 draft which is expected to be one of the best drafts in a while. You forget, this same team, minus a player or two, had one of the top offenses in the league last year. The only major change was at guard, one guard spot. Wven with the weak play of Faalele, I might add. The biggest issue I surmise is the ol coach. Last year he said he wouldnt change much when he took over early in the season. But this year clearly he has changed something because it is no longer a top running line, nor pass protecting. The offense as a result, no longer tops in the league. Sure, the injury to Lamar missing 3 games didnt help. But aside from the Bills game, they cant or haven't run consistently nor extended drives. Remember last yesr they lead the league in 90+ yard drives. So not so far away, change the ol coach

That is where we differ. I think, based on the last few years, that this team is close to being back to what it was, last year. One draft can fix it, one or two free agents can. Yes, a coaching change or two as well. Little tweaks that will make a better outcome. You heard the players, they got their feelings hurt when they lost the way they did in Buffalo. This team as it sits, was on the brink of blowing out Buffalo again. Then they got it in their minds that Buffalo would just roll over and boom. What they did and said after the game shows you that the coach was mostly to blame for not keeping them in the right mindset. For not helping them get over themselves. Thus the clunkers since then. Yes, this team needs a left tackle and 1 or two guards who may or may not be on the team on offense. Defense, a big body or two up front, again, who may or may not be on the team. Rush end, inside backer, all of which can be had in the draft or via free agency next year. This team has so many free agents after the season, there is going to be player turnover.

For years the Baltimore defense, even with Ray, has a habbit of making rookie/first year qbs look hall of fame. JJ is not ready for the NFL, as Brady and many other commentators have said, while he has the mind, he only has 1 type of pass- the "fast ball". He is not great at the drop in the bucket deep passes, nor the touch pass needed along the sideline or in double coverage. Their defense- 14th over all, 194 passing yards per game, 122 rushing, 23 pts per game. They are -4 in turnover differential, with 3 picks, causing 6 fumbles. But- (you knew that was coming) they are 11th in sacks with 23. With this line, Lamar should pack his track shoes

Rich Eisen did a great run down on his Jets yet another rebuild. Is this what you realoy want papa? Get rid of Harbs, Lamar, Stanley, Henry, Andrews, build the draft picks and have a rotation of grest drafts with crappy coaching, great coaching with crappy drafts year after year cutting loose players after their 4, 5 years is up? I certainly do not

Where is he going to go that is better than here? This team is not, yet, a perennial loser, it honestly needs a few tweaks. Fix the evaluation process for the drafts and free agency. Something is a miss there either scouts, coach, or front office. Clearly they need a new line coach as we have discussed. A new DC perhaps. But does he want to go to Carolina? Or some team like that that is far worse, from owner to ball boy, than here. Lamar does not strike me as that type of player or person. Look at Burrow, as good as he is when healthy, and the great weapons he has, they have to score a ton of points to win. Not a fun career especially when his line falls apart and he gets beaten to a pulp.

Well, the Jets had good drafting, except at qb. Coaching and front office are the issue. The Ravens got into this mess because of bad drafts the past few years and stubbornness by the coaching to stay with favorites who are not getting the job done. Madds is a good example. His neck injury, who knows if he will play again. With what was given up for Williams, get him, you don lose much and cover the base if Madds has to retire. They know that they have to restructure Lamar before next year, why wait? Had they got it done, even more cap room for Williams and if Madds does come back, trade Williams next year after the season, let those two play together- better than Goose and Adams. You are facing losing a defensive tackle or two after the season anyway....

I've given up trying to figure this team, this organization out this year, not because of losing, not because of moves they have made or not made that I don't agree with. No, because of what the players, coaches have said this year, the excuses, the ridiculous statements they hwve made. Claims that changes will be made, fans expect too much, this coach is doing poorly, but the one who actually is, is excused and blame placed on the players. Yeah, we, fans are fools, sure, sure tthing.

Nice. No major move by the Ravens, tells me that the front office is not sold on the idea that this team can turn things around completely. I wonder, do the players feel the same....

Ravens should have made this deal given the uncertainty of Madds

Quinnen Williams to the Cowboys, The Jets are getting a 2026 second-rounder, 2027 first-rounder and defensive tackle Mazi Smith from Dallas.

Not sure Howie would leave for a lateral move essentially. But that dude is making some great moves. Not sure how he is working the cap with these guys..

Kane released, are they making room for another move? Jets just got 2 1st round picks plus Adoni Mitchell (no big deal there) for Sauce Gardner wow

The start of the holiday season is quickly approaching. For some, they have already started putting up lights and other decorations trying to jump start the cheer. But ya can't put the car before the horse if you want to get anywhere. What does any of that have to do with a football game between these two teams? Maybe nothing, maybe everything. Both teams are trying to keep their post season hopes alive, but you can't get to the post season without winning games in the regular season. The Vikes finished last year with 14 wins in the regular season, but didn't get much further. They even took a giant leap of faith by jettisoning their starting quarterback in favor of an unproven quarterback still recovering from a season ending injury and with no NFL experience. Yes, they are clearly dragging the cart with the horse tided to the back end. While Baltimore "bought a present" for their lackluster defense, how he will perform, if he will make a difference, not even Santa knows. They are 4-3 lifetime against the Vikes with Baltimore winning their last match up in Baltimore 34-31 in overtime back in 2021 making Lamar 1-0. Jackson rushed for over 100 yards, threw for 266 yards and had 3 scores. For Baltimore to win, he may have to put up similar stats, maybe use some magic corn from the Winter Warlock to help his defense. So, who ya got?

Ya know, just as some are better coaches as assistants than they are at head coaches, maybe Eric is better as a number 2 rather than a GM..... time will tell but it hasn't been a great start

That is not saying much

Eric made the wrong call on keeping VanNoy instead of Clowmey. I agreed with trading Oweh, 4 sacks in 4 games since the trade but 2 in the last game. So is he doing anything or was that just an easy match up for him? Seems just as Ozzie couldn't draft a wide out to save his life, Eric cant find an edge rusher

Makes little sense, has never had more than 6.5 sacks in now his 7th year. Depth I supposed, prove me wrong, Eric

They acquired edge rusher Dre’Mont Jones from the Titans for a conditional fifth-round pick, Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports. Jones has 4.5 sacks in the past four games, with nine quarterback hits, after going sackless in the first five. He also has 26 tackles, including five tackles for loss this season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/ravens-trade-with-titans-for-edge-rusher-dremont-jones

Yeah, I thought you would be

Chargers lost their starting left tackle, Packers, their top tight end. Eric should trade Stanely for a 4th and Andrews for a 5th.... pick drubbing cap scrubbing... top 5 pick let's go

The thought is, now that he is fully healthy and in the right system, he will get back to the way he was his rookie and soph years, only more experienced and get you 10-12 sacks. His win rates are way up, but a lack of sacks is more to do with a bad secondary allowing the qbs to escape a sack by getting rid of the ball in time. Unlike the slub the Ravens traded to the Chargers, Phillips is much more polished

I have to ask, where were the Ravens in this? A third is a steal for him and he would boost the defense immediately. They have the cap room, some $12 mil over. I guess we will never know if they went after him smh

Cam Little hit a 68 yarder as time expired in the first of half for the Jags... records were made to be broken

Shut down the Lions pretty good, but yeah, they are an average d

Do your self a favor, go to you tube and watch the condensed version of this game. No defense, Joe withh a sprained ac joint throws for 400+ yards 4 tds. 1 fumble when he got selected on a sack and a pick. The 2nd pick was the hail Mary at the end. Bengals and Joe put up 42 points and lost on a a broken lame tackle. Amazing game
