Sluggish start, due to a 40 minute bus ride maybe? Hope they wake up, that offensive series looked disjointed

It amazes me. If the average person gets the virus or is exposed to it, we are told to quarantine for 14 days. Meaning average person misses two paychecks, average paycheck before taxes, what, $600-800 per week. These millionaires get the virus or are exposed to it, don't have to quarantine, meaning they xan collect their weekly check averaging what, $450,000 per game check....

Any squirrel can find a nut sometimes..

Panic starts at the top, itnis shaped like pressure, it either forges diamonds or coal. When the coach starts emitting the scent of fear by calling plays out of the norm, the players feel the trembles down the reins and their muscles tighten. Sight is effected, their minds get occupied with thoughts of not giving in, not giving up with every play a must make a big play. Before they can realize it they are lost, a big play given up, a block missed, a pass dropped, an open man not found, a route run off course, a ball thrown errantly. When the dust settles, when the rock is refined, it will reveal only coal or diamond. Yes, it starts at the top; who will panic...

This game should be over by mid way of the 2nd quarter, but will it be..... We shall see....

Wonder why it is receivers drops passes / cant get open, qbs can't throw accurately or read a defense, the line can't block and the defense can't stay on assignment in big games? Any other game it's no problem...

Thanks Max, no matter what Spen says, yer all right in my book. Just one of the young stars to lock up who will eat up all of the cap... Has to be done.... A good corner, tackle, QB....

Hey mods can you fix my typo in the topic title, to M Humphry. Loll

ESPN: Baltimore Ravens' Marlon Humphrey signs $98.75 million extension, source says. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/30014955/baltimore-ravens-marlon-humphrey-signs-9875-million-extension-source-says OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- All-Pro cornerback Marlon Humphrey went from a draft-day surprise three years ago to a defensive cornerstone for the Baltimore Ravens for many seasons to come. The Ravens made Humphrey the second-highest paid cornerback in the NFL, signing him to a five-year, $98.75 million extension on Thursday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported. His average of $19.75 million per season ranks just behind the Los Angeles Rams' Jalen Ramsey ($20 million per season).

Charm City, where you go for a romantic walk along the water front, and get mugged.....

Haha, not a chance, it's just a game, my dreams are more enjoyable and healthier...

I won't be watching it live, sleep is more important to me now than commercials, terrible commentators, and yes, football, but will record it and watch.... Maybe 3rd time is the charm? It is charm city afterall.... Enjoy the Left Coast, we are the right coast to be on...... Safe travels Max

Well said 82, I was remiss in not talking about the receivers and how nuce it is to have more than one who can catch!

Challenge- yes a first down was on the line, however, the refs rarely move the ball unless there is a clear line to go by, they had none in this situation, your team is up big, stop the theatrics, either call the time out, go for it or punt. There was no chance the refs would move the ball a few inches; none. This is just another example in a long line of bad challenges by Harbs. Time management- did you see all of the comebacks this week end? Teams down big winning in the last moments, other teams just falling short because they literally were out of time by seconds? With 5 mins to go there was plenty of time for a freak fumble, a blown coverage, a few big plays. So your players and coaches should know-stay in bounds to keep the clock moving in the 4th quarter when you get to the 5 minute mark. What does Roman call? Sweeps, end runs, to the short side of the field, meaning it is harder to stay in bounds and keep the clock moving. Yes, they finished with over 200 yards rushing, very impressive, most of those yards were in the 4th quarter, 100 or so on 2 runs late. As I said they threw or attempted to throw 25 times in the first half, thankfully the defense gave them a score, and they had a very short field to score. I realize they want to work on pasing and be unpredictable offensively, but that was pushing it, hey they won, it worked. But as I said, they make the same mistakes that kept them from winning even one playoff game- throw throw throw, then try to run.. Poor game management, poor play calling. What, we can't be critical of the team? Sheesh

Keep making the same mistakes every game and you won't win a playoff game... Or should I say, spill a quarter of your beer and not only do you have less to drink, but a mess to clean up too....

Harbs shows he is an idiot once again, challenging a spot to gain a few inches... Play calling outside runs when you are trying to keep the clock moving? Come on man! But a win is a win....

Are the Ravens in trouble in the 2nd half? 7 of the 20 pts were scored by the defense. 7 of the remaining 13 pts were scored on a short field thanks to a bone headed coach of the Texans... No running game to speak of, piss pior pass protection..... Ouch...

Funny, not, no flags for PI all half until now? Come.on refs....

Forte! Forte! LJ Forte! Well done Marlon! Ya know, two of my favorite teachers in Middle School were named one Forte, one Fort, no relation... This fumble should hold up...

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?
