Kickoff is to the endzone and downed; good Dak rolls right, is rushed, dumps it down for a gain of 6 Run left end for 10, blown off the ball Subs in Screen is read right away for a loss of 4 Pass to the left sideline for 7 3rd and 7 What kind of coverage was that? One on the left side of Lamb, one on his right. Ball goes between them for a gain of 10 2 min warning

Empty set, shot gun, Quick pass to Bateman for 6 Direct snap to Henry who hands it to Lamar, no one open, Lamar has to scramble and throw it away. But illegal man down field, stupid play any way, no need to get cute and kill the momentum 2nd and 9 Henry starts up the middle, cuts it outside for 4 3rd and 5 Hill in Draw to Hill up the middle for 8 Henry back in, goes to the left end, picks up 4 Lamar rolls right, throws back left to Cueves for 10 Play fake, Lamar keeps it rolls right, no one open he scrambles for 1 Henry up the middle for 3, but he ran into the back of Simpson, could have had more 3rd and 6 Lamar to Flowers on an out route but he can't make the easy catch 27 yard field goal Is good, 17-10 Ravens 4:44 left in the half

Kickoff is out of the endzone 11:23 left 1st half Run up the middle for 2 Quick pass to Pickens, Humphry makes the stop 3rd and 2 Run left tackle for no gain 4th and 2 Time out Madds has been in the last 2 series, looks great Run rifht guard stuffed! Ravens take over at the 43 of the Cowboys

Punt is fair caught at the 10 Oh yuk, Marshalls, it was terrible, Henry up the middle for 5 Lamar goes deep to Flowers who is yanked down, flag, pi, should have been on Flowers but I won't complain Hill goes left end for 8 Lamar to Flowers in the left flat for 6 Lots of slipping, footing is bad Screen to Hill on the left is a disaster Flag on Gwynn down field 1st and 15 Hill again? Up the middle for 5 Lamar forces a quick pass low and behind Andrews 3rd and 11, Lamar goes deep, badly under thrown to Walker, pi as ball falls to thr ground 1st and goal from the 3 Henry starts up the middle, breaks outside for an easy touchdown Ravens! 14-10 Ravens

Loop kicks it to the middle of the endzone. Given the break downs of special teams coverage, good Dak on a boot left, hits an easy open Lamb for 12 Quick pass to Pickens for 4 Great pressure up the middle forces Dak to flee and throw low, too low 3rd and 6 Pass over the middle Hamilton in coverage nocks it away End of 1st

False start on Simpson, guess he was trying to get an early jump to retirement Lamar keeps it around right end for 21 Henry left guard for 2 Lamar to Flowers over the middle who jitter bugs down to the 20 Henry to center, good for 11 1st and goal Henry up the middle for 3 2nd and goal Direct snap to Henry who trots in for a touchdown, Ravens! 10-7

Having Flowers back is nice, but when your center, left guard and tackle can't block anyone, it is moot

Face mask on Simpson moves the ball to the 14 Run right guard for 3 Dak with time, fires to Lamb in the endzone, tipped away 3rd and 7 Pass in the flat to Turpin who makes one man miss and gets the first down Run up the middle for an easy six points Good night Irene

I can't see any way this offense scores any points.

This is going to be a long game

Kickoff is to the 12, mishandled by Wester who covers it at thr 22 Lamar dumps it down to Henry for no gain Run left guard for no gain 3rd and 10 Lamar escapes, gets it to Andrews who fights for the yardage 4th and inches, give is rushed and to Henry who gets no where

Boot leg for Dak, throws complete for 9. Run off the right guard for 8 From the 50, deep set by Prescot, fires over the middle to Pickens for 15 Run up the middle for 3 2nd and 7 Run left for 17, noone filling lanes Same play good for 9 Run right guard for 4 1st and goal Inside hand off good to the 1 Bootleg, for some reason, good pressure by Simpson, good cover by Hamilton 3rd and goal, Smith is lit on fire amd sacks Prescott, forcing a field goal of 28 yards, good 3-0 Cowboys

Henry goes left for 6. Then up the middle for no gain. Lamar forced to back peddle and throws to a wide open Andrews, over thrown. Punt goes 44 yards, little return...

I just don't know this team yet. They should be serious contenders, but so many questions. Dallas, a lot of talent, especially on offense, but they always seem to shoot themselves in the foot every year...

I would be shocked if Flowers played

Stanley now out, Flowers, questionable. He did practice Friday, but......

Lamar media day after practice today https://www.youtube.com/live/hmeWFcwWp3w?is=K3BVyCqgm5Vx5adL

"The effort includes, as the venue’s official account tweeted on Thursday, the addition of fiber stitching in order to increase “the field’s resistance and safety.” The machine, which looks like the grass version of a Zamboni, will reinforce the grass with synthetic material in the hopes of making it good enough to withstand the wear and tear of the game"

He could slip coming out of the shower and land on his head. If he is ready, a few series, a number of snaps is what he needs to get into game shape

He is a fumble waiting to happen, bout time a coach took initiative and benched him.

In much better news, Madds was a full participant in practice today, maybe he gets a few plays in Sunday. Meanwhile, Stanley, toe and Flowers, hamstring, did not. But then, it is Wednesday and a travel day. If neither travels with the team, then we will know

From NBC, warning us, the TV viewers, that the field will look bad but could, key word, play well. Sure, and I have beach front property to sell ya in Arizona Regardless, the field for the Ravens-Cowboys game is expected to look bad — if the game goes forward. And it would be a surprise at this point if the game doesn’t go forward. The obsession with international growth is strong. And the league isn’t about to let something like the quality of the grass get in the way.

Neither tackle did very well, well, neither did either guard. Ioane had a fee key penalties, and whiffed on a few blocks, was it his fault or that of Gwyn's? Who knows. Early on Rose was dominating in the run game, as was ioane when he pulled, a big reason Henry had so much success in the 1st half. But there was little in the 2nd, largely because they stopped running the ball, especially with Henry for some unknown reason. Pass blocking all around was horrible, tackles were getting run around, center and guard being run over, run by, pushed back. Did the defense tire? Maybe, it is early in the season, a look at the length, time wise, of each offensive possession for the Ravens reveals it is likely, 1:35 minutes for the 1st drive 6:51 for the 2nd, a touchdown drive I was hoping would wear down the Saints defenders But then: 1:35, 2:44, 3:42, 3:34, 1:10, 1:18 You see, 7 penalties, many of which ended drives, took away big plays. The only defense that will wear down with drives like those is your own.

If you are anything like me, you hate, no HATE games out of country. How players will react to the time zone changes our bodies battle, to the atmosphere of the host country, it can all add up to playing like poo. Now, according to ESPN, the field is poo: "Questions about the quality of the playing surface at Rio's Maracanã Stadium started last week when professional soccer players voiced complaints about their home stadium's grass field. "It's unbelievable that we're playing on a field like this," Flamengo Football Club goalkeeper Agustín Rossi said, according to AtoZ Sports. "If you look at it, there are bumps everywhere. There's still going to be an NFL game here during the international break. After that game, I hope the field is in better shape." Both teams come in 1-1 in this new season. The Ravens are 6-1 all time against Dallas teams. However, with a new set of coaches, some young players in important roles, and the question of the integrity of the field, can make this anyone's games. Which Ravens team will show up? The one that put up 41 pts and held the Colts to 23? Or the one that could not even get out of its own way, a game filled with a plethora of mistakes on their way to a loss against a subpar New Orleans team? So who ya got?

Lane had surgery and is on ir for at least 4 games.
