4th and 3, down 10-7, 2nd q, 9:44, they go for it at the 50. They run a wide receiver screen to Flowers? Sure, he only had 1 man to beat, the guy Likely passes up to seal off a linebacker who had no chance to make the play. Good play call, bad execution by Likely. If he just gets in the way of the dB, Flowers makes it easy. The series before Lamar is once again stripped sacked, results in a field goal. The defense to this point is playing well, even with the busts in coverage. Roqqun is very good, but not good enough to cover a wide receiver. Then of course the break that lead to the Worthy long passing touchdown, dB and safety let him go.

Haven't watched the game, only the last play. Likely was out of bounds, nuff said. On that play however, Andrews was coming from left to right along the goal line, 1 man on him and Mark had 2, 3 steps, easy touchdown. Bateman was at the left back corner, he too had 1 man on him, had position and a step or two on him, easy touchdown. I know, Lamar was scrambling, but, he clearly is looking to Likely 1st and foremost, not a good thing. Likely is awesome, good bye Mark, but not when it is taking away from other players. Another strong start, then a fade in the middle requiring a comeback. The line was fine papa, 1st game together, on the road with one of the best teams in the league, 20 pts, could have, should have been more. Do they need work? Sure, so too does the Chief's line which gave up 2 sacks, few rushing yards. Same for Henry, 1st game, the defense was pretty good, from looking at the stats, but it too needs work. Tucker 2 for 3 on field goals is more alarming, it haven't seen his miss yet, but...

8:40 kick off, ill be 3 sheets to the wind by then

Breaking news, Reid has 3 Super Bowl rings, way to break the news NBC

Hey buddy, good fo see you, not sure, stopped watching the bubble gum local stuff a long time ago

Ugh rain, rain and more rain. Time to watch the grass grow, it is just one game... 16 more to go, some of them have to have dry weather

Well, Kelce is great against zone, so there is that. Also, when the pocket breaks down, he knows where to be for Mahomes, another big part of his receptions. I agree, even in zone, you can play match up zone against him, just follow him to the next zone. Shoot, man against him at the very least.

Kr man how have you been? Yes, I am starting to think the same as you and papa, that it might be time for Harbs to retire. This team has fallen flat in big games, especially in the playoffs recently. Sure, he did a great job getting the Joe Flacco team to "over achieve" and win a Super Bowl. However, last year,uch like 2019, this team underachieving. He has the excuse of injuries in between, praise for finally getting rid of Roman, changing the offense, but his inability to keep this team focussed, penalties, lack of apparent accountability, as luch as possible in the league today, is inexcusable.

Hey, we fans often lose sight that only 1 team has ever won all of their games. Yes, each team can point to more than a few games that they should have won if not for an error or two. We all have a bad day at work, some days we just do not have what it takes to get the job done, properly. I know, I know, they get paid a lot more money, so they should always be at their best. However, they, like us, have family issues that may keep us up all night. Get sick at the worst time. Sleep wrong and wake up sore. A missed block, a bad throw, a dropped pass, a bad read, a penalty at the worst time. It happens in every game, leads to loss. I've come to realize that the regular season is to prepare for the post season. Get better, find out and accentuate what works, stave off the weaknesses, what doesnt3 work. Yes, it is great to win the division, have the #1 sead, but what good does it do in the end? Teams will win games, and they will lose.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/ravens/2024/09/04/baltimore-ravens-kansas-city-chiefs-lamar-jackson/75055449007/ As the Kansas City Chiefs hoist their third Super Bowl banner in five years, the Baltimore Ravens will have a front-row seat to what could have been – not that every day didn't bring its own reminders of last year's AFC championship game loss, and that was before the NFL decided to kick off the 2024 season with a rematch. Which is why, before kickoff, the Ravens will be subjected to one final deep cut. Then they can finally go about beginning to settle the score from a 17-10 defeat at home. "Any game I play in, I feel like it’s a revenge game," quarterback and reigning MVP Lamar Jackson said. "So, I’m not going just going to look at this game like it’s a revenge game. Anybody we’ve played, no matter if we’ve beat them or lost to them in previous years, I just want to win."

He kept the muscle mass, but reduced the beef. As long as he stays away from gluten, I'm okay with it

https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/lamar-jackson-im-not-just-looking-at-thursday-night-as-a-revenge-game The last time Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson took part in a game, he walked off the field in Baltimore as the Chiefs celebrated another trip to the Super Bowl. That trip was their fourth in the last five years, so there’s no question who the top dog in the AFC is at the moment. Jackson and the Ravens are going to have to knock the Chiefs off if they want to make it to the quarterback’s first Super Bowl, but Jackson said on Sunday that he’s not putting extra weight on Thursday night’s opener in Kansas City. “Any game I play in, I feel like it’s a revenge game,” Jackson said, via the team’s website. “I’m not just going to look at this game like a revenge game. Anybody we play, no matter if we’ve beaten them or lost to them in previous years, I just want to win.” While the playoff loss to the Chiefs adds some extra narrative juice to Thursday’s game, it is still just the first of 17 regular season games that the Ravens will need to get through in order to have any chance of reversing the bitter end to last season. Jackson’s answer shows that perspective, although it’s difficult to imagine knocking off Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in their building wouldn’t be a little sweeter than most regular season wins.

I am not sure what to expect, yes, the Chiefs are the defending Super Bowl Champs, again. But they have been living large this off season, Taylor Swift style too boot. How focussed will they be? Over confident perhaps? The Ravens had them in several games, but let them off the hook or gave the games away, mistakes, unforced errors were mostly to blame. They go into the game fully healthy, with a better runningback, more depth in the secondary, but, with a new, young offensive line and unproven edge rushers. It may take more than a few games, maybe some loses to start the first half of the season for this line, the edge rushers, to really get going. Still, a win would not surprise me, a loss would not affect as much, given the above mentioned. Who ya got?

Sure enough, like Shingles, he is back.... oy, noodle arm signed to the ps

Yeah I too was hoping Zape would be here. I sure hope they don't go after Huntley again, they already have a noodle arm on the team

Yeah, at least Jones could run, similar to Lamar though not as fast, but a good practice squad bait for the defense to focus on. Maybe Leary is just a better practice qb and Jones not so good in practice?

Practice squad currently DL C.J. Ravenell [Zrebiec] QB Devin Leary [Zrebiec] OL Darrian Dalcourt [Zrebiec] WR Dayton Wade [Zrebiec] WR Malik Cunningham [Zrebiec] RB Chris Collier [Wacker] OLB Joe Evans [Zrebiec] TE Qadir Ismail [Zrebiec] CB Ka’dar Hollman (veteran) [Zrebiec] RB John Kelly (veteran)

Yeah, baring a trade, I would expect Miller to resign after the start of the season so as to not have to guarantee his contract

TE Qadir Ismail [Zrebiec] RB Keaton Mitchell is expected to remain on the PUP list [Schefter] DL C.J. Ravenell [Zrebiec] ILB Yvandy Rigby [Zrebiec] Total Players on the Roster: 75 Decisions remaining: 22

It's Miller time, he is the next to be released

Wow, 3 shockers on here, for me. I know, not hall of famers but I thought played their way onto the roster. I am sure a few will end up on the practice squad TE Mike Rigerman [Zrebiec] TE Riley Sharp [Phoenix] WR Sean Ryan [Zrebiec] OL Tashawn Manning [Zrebiec] P Jack Browning [Phoenix] OT Darrell Simpson [Phoenix] DT Tramel Walthour [Phoenix] WR Russell Gage [Rapoport] (cut, vested veteran) CB Damarion “Pepe” Williams [Zrebiec] QB Emory Jones [Zrebiec] RB Chris Collier [Wacker] Total Players on the Roster: 79 Decisions remaining: 26

Cut downs due by Tuesday, tomorrow, 4pm It has begun Wide receiver Russell Gage was one of the first wave of cuts announced by the Ravens on Monday. Gage signed with the team on August 6 and did not have any catches in preseason action. The veteran tore his patellar tendon at Bucs camp last summer and missed the entire season. Gage had 51 catches for 426 yards and five touchdowns with Tampa during the 2022 season. He played 61 games in four seasons with Atlanta to open his career. The Ravens also waived wide receiver Sean Ryan, tight end Mike Rigerman, tight end Riley Sharp, offensive tackle Darrell Simpson, defensive end Tramel Walthour, and punter Jack Browning. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/ravens-release-russell-gage-waive-six-others

Shame, I guess it should have been expected, an infection from surgery at his age usually wins..

Tough kid, he ran hard all game; he is a keeper. I guess Collier will move up the depth chart now, he too ran hard, showed well.

Wright broke his foot, Mullen, dislocated shoulder.
