Including the scrambles, they have thrown the ball almost 25 times this half; what the eep are they doing? Defensively, sucks losing Young, again, to another acl/mcl/pcl.... One blown coverage by Elliot, one poor coverage by Clarke, should have been playing outside technique with safety help inside.... Let's see what they last 2 mins brings us.

I know 2 things; 1)fake crowd noise is anoying as all get out-stop it! Turn it down... 2) these games are bad-like watching pre-season.... Oy

Don't like this game, so many distractions from the virus & traveling trying to keep safe to a blow out win and overconfidence. In my opinion even though they blew them out & chased Watson from the game last year, that game could have, maybe even should have been different if the refs calles a PI in the endzone.... Texans get revenge...

So a big win, solid all the way around, some concerns but given it was the first game, maybe it is nothing to worry about yet... No real pass rush, even with a number of pressures and sacks, they were mostly on blitzes & or excellent coverage. Stopping the run off of the edge, the defense's left edge, AGAIN, was still an issue from last year. The coverage was great, no noticeable breaks in coverage, linebackers played very well, welcome to the NFL rookie! Glad to have you here Mr Queen.... Running game, sporadic, yes they got over 100 yards, barely, but were this a close game and needed to run clock, I am not sold they could have... Receivers looked great, return teams as well, so nice to see quickness, speed, hands... Pay our next future Hall of Fame tightend now; wow he is fabulous. All in all, as I said above, no preseason, pandemic, first game, bravo....

Well, pretry much what we should expect to this point with a) no preseason games and b) all the issues with this pandemic. So far so good and giod bye to Justice Hill, Dobbins is the real deal....

We shall see, when this season is over and all of marbles are counted, when the owners and NFLPA see that they have lost a lot of them, something will have to give. No team will be able to pay huge salaries with the lost revenue from this season. I wonder, will there be more commercial breaks, longer ones this season to try and make up some of the difference?

Frees up cap $3 mil in space; not a bad move... NBC Sports - NFL: Brandon Williams reworks contract with Ravens. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/09/11/brandon-williams-reworks-contract-with-ravens/ Williams was set to have non-guaranteed salaries of $9.25 million and $9.5 million in 2020 and 2021. Under the revised terms of his pact, the base value of his contract will drop to $15.75 million but he will have $8.25 million in guaranteed money.

I have to admit, that I have no passion for this season, this game. Maybe that will change as the game starts, as the season goes on, I don't know. Is it this pandemic, the fact we won't hear any, real, fans cheering, no bands playing, is it my age? Has the love for this game really gone out of me? I hope the players can play with passion, take this game over and come out strong, have a great season. Frankly, who knows what the season will be, 4, 6, 12, 16 games + post season?

Max, they are prudes...

So let's see if they allow this one from their site https://www.baltimoreravens.com/video/wired-marlon-humphrey-willie-snead-go-full-tilt-at-scrimmage

Now that would be funny

What? They want to rip fans off again? First with a stadium, then with PSL's, now with cut outs!? What about the season ticket holders, oh wait, they get a $10 discount, whoopie! What a racket and the lemmings will roam over the cliff...

No fans at the Stadium for the first few games... Other game canceling tailgating... Taking the fun out of the game, hiw many olayers will be abke to get ramped uo for home games with no fans...

They are trying to void his $10 mil bonus (good luck).... ESPN: Baltimore Ravens release safety Earl Thomas after on-field altercation. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/29723620/sources-ravens-cut-trade-earl-thomas-dispute

He is gone per Espn

Yep, it was the player's council that wanted him kicked out of practice

Yeah, this would cost them on the cap, he has always been a me guy, like you, didn't like the signing, he is just proving us right. Missed assignments, unwilling to take correction...But it is camp and players get fired up in camp

Left without a contract, good.. I'm sure they were just doing him a favor, reports from practice sound good on the receiver group.. But then it is just practice and plenty of players look great there but never show up in games...

Oh and please say no to Dez....

I don't know what the bleep is going on with the secondary, but it has begun again.. Iman Marshall out with a knee injury....

It should be interesting to see what they do about the next draft. If college ball is indeed cancelled for this year, even if they some how stupidly play in the spring, what happens to the draft? Players may rise based on last year's play, while many will fall because they lacked the chance to gain the experience, thus improve their play not having another season to showcase....

Maybe with him, but he relies on quickness, especially in & out of breaks, then explosion into his speed. That puts a lot of pressure on the foot.

They have been getting closer to being able to test and detect certain signs. Some dudes it is clear, they lost some marbles. I will always remember him and Jelly riding around camp in the golf cart, signing autographs, then running the cart into the stands. We had a little meet & greet that year, such fun.
