It's their Super Bowl, a chance to show they belong on the Ravens, nothing left to play for but contracts for next year, comradery.. Gosh that was a long sentence... Lamar has to play to show if he has learned anything; the offense should not work the same under an undrafted first year starter, nor under a journeyman like Johnson too boot as it does under Lamar. Is he Johnson or is he Jackson? We saw RG3 have an MVP season, then disappear, injjury granted, but he never was very accurate either. By accuracy we mean outside the numbers, along the sidelines, deep passing. No, one game won't erase what we saw this season, but it will help. Who deserves to stay a Raven, can they cover? Tackle in space? Keep to the coverage? Can they get off of blocks? Can they make a block, hold the block? Make a pocket for longer than 1.5 seconds? Who belongs?

Yeah, I missed it as well

Don't know how accurate this is, but... https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/baltimore-ravens/

He has a knack for not putting his players in a position to succeed at the most wrong times

Yeah Colon has been a disappointment, Bozeman did not look happy sitting on the bench. He is a decent center, and they have plenty of plug & play guys to play center. It is certainly a position that could be of need if the right guy falls to them.

I get ya, the conditioning has been pretry solid if you look at all of the cmose games with basically prepcooks playing defense and an average back up qb

Miller

It is supposedly a bone bruise, not a sprain. 3 weeks is plenty of time to heal from that for most people. Shoot, a high anckle sprain is 4 weeks, a regular anckle sprain is 2 weeks at worst.

Ya know, I wonder if his mystery illness was a result of long term covid? Not sure what that has to do with strength & conditioning, but maybe his bad play/regression is related to his back flip and the injury he quietly suffered as a result of said back flip

Yes, currently at 8-8, 4 loses by total of 5 pts, 5 loses by a total of 11 pts! This with all of the injuries, illness, missing their former mvp type qb for 4 games. That is how close to being very good this team was in a down year as fsr as quallity of play in the NFL. So now, it is draft attention. The Ravens have obvious needs; offensive tackle, middle backer, edge rusher, safety, defensive tackle. They get little pressure on the pocket, even when they do, it has turned out to lead to big plays against the beat up secondary. Houston has been a bad signing, the few plays he made never came when they needed them most. He was often stoned at the line of scrimmage, rarely held up against the run. In short, a big miss by Decosta, hopefully Owe, who showed promise early, can be an upgrade next year. Frankly, it's too early to jusge the under sized Owe, so there is some hope there but they need to land on a true pass rusher who can also hold an edge. The line has been an issue for, ever. Stanley is a huge question mark at left tackle, will he be healthy, can he stay healthy, will he be worth his contract? We just don't know. Even IF the answers are yes, they need a right tackle, they gambled and paid Merkari to be an expensive back multi position player, almost right tackle money, so is he who they want there next year? If so, he has to get much, much better all around. How they view him will be key to draft. Middle backer, Queen has been a bust from the stand point of his draft; he was drafted high to be the Mike backer, but he clearly cannot play there. He has been better as a weak side backer, even then he has games where he disappears, can't get off blocks, can't cover, gets lost in zone coverage. Bynes and Board have been decent fill ins, but neither is a long term answer at middle backer. The Ravens should be in position, 15-17, to be able to land the best middle backer in the draft, the best one in a number of drafts to be honest. Dean from UGA, he has speed, size, power, instincts, yes he can actually run sideline to sideline and make a play shortly after it starts. This draft isn't loaded with all time talent, but it does have a few players at positions the Ravens have needs. Thankfully wide out is not on the list this year, but given the cap situation and Lamar needing a huge deal to keep him, Eric and company need to really hit on their draft picks. They have a ton, 10, 9 in the first four rounds. Don't use them all, use them wisely.

Over paid for a back up tackle, guard, center

What was the money Merkari got? He was owned all game by an aging pass rusher who hasn't done anything all year... Eric is making some sketchy decisions

Such a shame, but we have a clear answer. Huntley is a very good Back Up quarterback, but he is not a long term starter. He can't make all of the throws, his decision making is questionable. This team needs to fix the line, the defense, that played pretty well today, not very good, but pretty well, 20 pts given... But they have to figure out Lamar for sure... 8-8, with their what 6th loss by a total of 10 pts, wow...

Too late, should have let them score 2.mins ago

It's too late now Harbs

Huge play by Smith

Time out Harbs

Time out Harbs

4 Ravens around him and no one covers him

Just let em acore from here, save us some time, it's inevitable any how

Ah nutz he was down

Fumble!

Their defense is tired, jet lagged, worn out by this running game, had to take advantage of that. One of those plays at the goal line should have been play action from under center.

That hurts, a long, time consuming drive and we only get 3 pts...

Bad teams choke when they have a chance to excel
