Good deal for a 3rd pick next year and conditional 5th the year after. Can they keep him motivated? I think so with the leadership on the defensive line

It has amazed since they came here with Jackson & Alexander, since they had to let them walk they haven't been able to draft one. I do think they have some talent good enough, it's just they are not using the routes properly. Ive also noticed on the all 22, that Lamar has not thrown on time to a receiver about to break open or who should get open on his route based on the defense. Instead, Lamar chose to throw elsewhere for no gain because of coverage. Now, the key is, who was the primary? Every qb does this, from time to time, but Lamar does it quite often. Again, we do not know the progression of the routes and Lamar is still young. We see receivers from other teame step in off the street and run routes properly, get open often, easily, make the catch. Yet who does that for the Ravens? How often do we see 3 receivers within five yards of each other? Why is it this offense can't run a freaking screen? Even a wide receiver screen other teams get 8 or more yards on, this team loses yards. No slants, which should work perfectly with this run threat, no come back routes on the outside with all of the speed we now have at wideout. Are they hiding these plays for the playoffs?

I would take what we see on an early Monday evening game with the same salt we do with these stupid Thursday games...... Same as we should do with the first 4-5 games of this year. With no camp, no preseason and missing practices & fears of covid, as actual preseason even though they count. This bye week could not have come at a better time as said above. Now, can they get things going? Sure, they say that they feel they are close, but words are just words until we put them into action. I do believe the team has used these 4,5 games as preseason as it were, working on just enough in game to win, I think this true for every team this year; what other choice did they have? However, as Papa said, history speaks volumes. One of the issues this team has had is penalties/discipline. That has been true for years, what, we expect Harbs to get that corrected now, especially the offensive penalties. The other major discipline issue was on defense, being out of position, not paying close attention, trying to do their own thing. That too has been an issue for the past few years, we thought it was "fixed" with Jefferson and Thomas jettisoned, maybe they have been and the defense allowing those ridiculous completions in the 2nd half was just being tired or simply looking ahead to the time off/ Pitt in two weeks.. Time will tell. By the end of November we will know all that we need to know about this team, will they be 9-1 5-5 or somewhere in between....

A very nice take on this 5-1 team, were talking about the say Browns if they were 5-1, I am sure most of you would agree as well. Now, since this is not the Browns, I am sure they not only can, but will "fix" what is clearly broke. They better because the next 5 games are deadly. USA TODAY: Opinion: After close call against Eagles, Ravens hardly look like an elite team. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/columnist/mike-jones/2020/10/18/baltimore-ravens-lamar-jackson-philadelphia-eagles/3706461001/

Actually, yes. Three scores from a short field, one short drive ended with no points on a sack that took the team out of field goal range. As I stated at the time of it happening, 3 mins left in the 3rd quarter, still a substantial lead, the offense sputters, gives the Iggles the ball back with a minute & a half left in the quarter. No time consuming drives in the 4th. Also as I said, the massive pass rush really takes a lot of energy. A great example of being tired was when a "hail mary pass" was completed between Peters and Humphries; neither man had the engery left in their legs to play the ball, jump high.. You can be elated for the win, but this offense is clearly struggling to control the ball.

Max, I honestly think the defense faltering in the 4th was all due to ; their heavy, relentless hunting pass rush and two- no offensive time of possession to keep the defese rested. This close game was all on the offense, Lamar costing them 3 pts by taking a sack and pushing them out of field goal range. Even just those 3 pts and there is no butt clinching at the end. Phili was using practice squad players on defense and nobody could get open? The play calling was so inconsistent that they could not establish a running game nor ward off a pass rush. Lamar bailing out of the pocket after hitting his 3rd step with no pressure on him? Receivers running routes 2 yards from each other? Were they running them too fast, too slow, too deep, too shallow? I thought maybe Lamar's touchdown run would snap him back into the passer of last year, but nope... Another game of 50% completion rate, less than 170 yards in air. Yes a win is great but man is this offense, from play calling to execution a total mess

This offense has major issues, can't run, can't block, can't pass, can't get open, can't design plays, this is terrible

Game over, a very, very lucky win

I agree, they've been letting the secondaries play all game, why call it there?

Onside recovered, can the offense kill the clock?

1:55 left in game, defense holds off the 2pt conversion, there was a false start on the Iggles offense left side not called

Another hail mary throw Gilgrest loses sight of ball

Peters with PI sets Iggles up at the Ravens 23

I find it difficult to believe that with all of the replacement players the Iggles have on both sides of the ball, that they only comitted 3 penalties to the Ravens 11... 3:21 and Lamar throws the ball away, he is better off taking a sack, unlike he did earlier in the game taking 3 pts away...

Between Humphries and Peters a hail mary makes it in.. 17 pt lead now just 8 all because of an inadequate offense....

These penalties are ridiculous

Tucker would have been good from 68 on that one.....

2 pt conversion 24-14

Easy touchdown for the Iggles, busted coverage

Because of a lack of ball control on offense, the pass rush is tired, Wentz is getting more time, thus a long drive... Leads to a penalty of roughing the passer and first & goal

3 mins left in the 3rd and the offense can't keep the ball & carry it into the 4th?

Lack of discipline leads to 6 pts for the Iggles. The penalties are more signs of a lack of accountability... Let's not forget the free play to end the half because of a defensive penalty that lead to a missed field goal..... There arw glaring cracks in this team.

The route combinations on that last play were terrible, no way for anyone to get open. Poor awareness by Lamar takes 3 pts off the board.... If they were playing a better team they would be getting killed right now

This second half should be interesting, if the offense can't do anything, the Iggles might win...mm

The offense has gotten worse with each game. There is something really wrong...this is ugly
