From the KC 15 Mahomes scrambles for 2 Going deep to Worthy who beat Humphrey, to the Ravens 46 Again to Worthy, Wiggins had tight coverage, incomplete Under a 1 in the 1st quarter Tunnel screen to Kelsey for 7 End of quarter 3rd and 3 Hunt to the right for 2 4th and 1 Hunt up the middle for 4 Backers both took the wrong hole Slant to Brown for 18 to the 16 of the Ravens Run to the left for 2 Mahomes forced to flee up the middle for 4 3rd and 4 Pass short left wide open for 6 From the 5 Green makes a nice play to tackle Mahomes in the backfield, stopped a pitch Good coverage, pressure collapsing the pocket Mahomes has to throw it away 3rd and goal Mahomes floats to the back of the endzone, no one open Field goal time 7-6 Ravens 10 mins left in the half

Since this team cant seem to recover from turnovers, I guess this game is over now, right?

Kickoff to the goalie, Ali returns it to the 26 Lamar with time, steps up right into a sack, all he had to do was run left All out blitz, pass to Andrews for 2 3rd and 11 Lamar forced to flee, runs half speed but dives and gets the 1st down? Under center, Henry to the right guard for 5 All out blitz again, Lamar throws to the right side, Hopkins makes a great catch for 8, but illegal formation brings it back,, 70 not on los, yeah sure 2nd and 11 Lamar with time, fires one to Flowers for 18, plus pf on them for slamming Flowers to the ground Blitz again, Lamar makes a horrible decision to throw to Ansrews down the right side, ball is picked off

Shaping up to be an up & down the field game, will it continue on the Ravens offensive side?

Run off the right for 4, no one getting off of blocks, late fill by Buchanan Screen left, dropped 3rd and 6 from the 20 All day to throw, pass is tipped by Robbinson Field goal time 7-3 Ravens 5:40 left 1st quarter

Kickoff to the goalie, returned to the 30 Swing pass to Worthy, tackled right away, flag down already, pf on Humphrey face mask Run up the middle for no gain Jones, Washington, Madds, and VanNoy out for today Pass short left for a gain of 8, 3rd and 2 Swing pass to the left, dropped 4th and 2, going for it Roll out short pass to Worthy for 3 yards Screen pass to the right, well read, 4 missed tackles later, gain of 20

Ravens get the back 1st, come out throwing, two straight completions to Andrews, then a big run by Henry for 12. Long pass as Lamar steps up to Flowers for 21 Henry off the right guard for 3 Short pass over the middle to Henry for 6 3rd and 2 Empty set Hill motions back in takes the hand off runs up the middle for a tough 3 yards From the 12 Inverted wishbone, play fake, Lamar keeps it around the right end for no gain Screen to Hill for a Ravens touchdown! 70 yards in a little over 6 mins 7-0 Ravens Excellent start

What could it be? A slipped disc in the C spine? A possible break? I would think a disc would be, based on my own experience, 2 weeks without getting the epidural/ cortorization. A break, well, that is at least the rest of the regular season or close to it.

Washington out, this is not going to be pretty....

He is not very good at blitz pick up and his elite speed has not rerurned. He and Hill run about the same right now.

I agree, weve all railed iat Eric for faking these injured, PSU ends who eifher did nothing in college or built their numbers against the little sisters of the poor. It is, they are, still haunting us today. Sure, Owe flashes from time to time, had 10 sacks last year, none in the playoffs if memory serves me right. Green at least had the consistent numbers in college but they are bringing him along slowly and having him drop in coverage for some reason. Shoot, let him learn that part later, turn the young man loose.

There wasnt a pass rush specialist available other than the one who fell because of off the field issues. Or of course, pay more top dollar for a free agent, eat up more cap. Trade? Maybe they tried and just like with Henry and the Titans were turned away.... Who knows. My point, growing pains, a lot of football left

Yep, Madds will be out at least the rest of the month i would expect. I think Jones will be fine by game time Sunday, especially if they keep a good number for rotations. They need to just get back to basic on defense, too many rookies in the rotations to be doing complex defenses, they just are not ready for it yet. Buch, Starks and Green, that is 3 levels of rookies you are asking a lot of...

So far it just looks like rest, an ankle, a knee, nothing too serious at this point.

Bryan and Tupou are good signings. They both play hard and in a rotational situation, can be very good...

Okay, get that bad taste out of our mouths, sure, it looked like a good bet the Ravens would beat the Lions, their record against the NFC with Lamar at the helm and all.... Now the team faces an uphill battle, travel out west, take on a foe who seem to have your number, even loses by the length of a toe... Can the defense rebound, find their strength, get their footing, seal the holes and contain am elusive magician? Can the offensive line protect our own unicorn? With what has gone on this year around the league, the Colts only punting once in 3 games and not turning the ball over included, who knows what will happen in KC. So, who ya got?

You cant plan for everything, just isn't possible. It was more guys not getting off blocks, some taking the wrong angle, others not honoring their gap responsibilities than the fact that they were man handled on the defense. The offense, some of the 7 sacks were on Lamar, holding the ball too long, trying to do too much. Some plays he made harder to have success. Again, 21-14 late in the 3rd in favor of the Ravens. Then the wheels fell off on both sides of the ball. Then the Henry fumble and hero ball really takes over. It's a lesson I hope they finally learned, thought maybe they learned it after the Buffalo game, but I guess they are hard headed.

Maybe so, we shall see. Last night will certainly put a pebble in the show of the coaches and front office

Okay, sorry, so many thoughts. take the lead 21-14 8:47 in the 3rd. Then, once again, the wheels fall off. The defense just cant make any more stops, the offense just can't keep the train rolling in rhe 4fh quarter. Maybe, maybe this will fix it self as the season goes on, no more Henry passes, trick plays etc. Just do the simple later in games, master that first.

Watching the game now, had to stop at 3:42 left in the 2nd quarter, Lamar hits Tez for 35 yards to the Lions 4. They get to the 1, then the play calling, decision making goes bonkers. Over load to the right, hand off to Henry who never gets squared with thr line of scrimmage and is tackle for a loss of 1 He has an opening between guard and tackle, nice big hole, 1 lnebacker there, one coming. If Henry plants his foot, momentum carries him into the endzone, he is bigger than those backers. Instead, he tries to split the block of Stanely and Noteboom where there are also 4 defenders, and he doesn't have the angle to plant his foot. Henry, Noteboom ams 2 tightends end up on the ground, behimd the los. Then there is that naked boot Lamar screws up on 4th and goal, one play later. Hit Andrews, what was so hard? Had Flowers at the back of the end zone, early, has Bateman on a comeback route, sort of, two defenders in front of Lamar. But Andrews still has position and is open. Has Henry wide open on the other side if Lamar can escape the defender in his face who read the naked boot properly. But no, he scrambles back, fumbles, they get the ball on downs. Why go hurry up? Why rush both on 3rd and 4th down?

Nice call papa, we knew the defensive line was struggling at times to stop the run, well, the dam broke last night. Cant win em all, but you should win the ones that you can. 7 sacks? Really? This line is currently terrible, as bad as the defensive line is at run stoppimg. Can't run consistently, can't pass block. Can't finger one of them, because they all had issues last night. Maybe it is the oline coach? Experts say that we have one of the best centers in the game. That Rose is a very good right tackle and Stanley is solid if not old. Our guards, well, they too struggle even though the coaches say these are the best we have? Are they blowing smoke or do they really believe this? Do we have to wait until week 6 to see the Real Team, again? Is this jusjust par for the course on slow starts or are lines on both sides of the ball that bad? Yes, Henry fumbled again, at our 20, led to a field goal, killed momentum. This team should be good enough to overcome a turnover, especially when it only costs 3. 2 90+ yard drives, unacceptable when it is the other team. They kill defenses. That is how you give up 426 yards in total offense, 224 rushing The Ravens only got 85 yards on the ground; huh? No sacks, a handful of pressures early. Nothing to get Goff off of his first read, nothing from Orr or the players. I saw guys backing into the back field, only to have the running back run by. Had they been facing him, tfl. Orr redeemed himself last year, but once again here were are, a defense that can't get turnovers, cant pressure the pocket, cant stop decent, okay good offenses, only old quarterbacks who can't run...

Ravens scored 40 pts in each of their 1st 2 games. The Lions defense is good, as good as the Browns? I think not. Lamar is great on Monday nights, fantastic against the NFC, Henry was bottled up last game; I pity the fools

Senseless speculation because the Ravens are being so coy about his neck injury, similar to how they were this coy about injuries to other players in the past who ended up being out for the year. In any even, while he is a very good player, he is not one to keep the team from winning. They have cap room to get another fat body, they have another big body on the ps albeit inexperienced

The slppy play this weekend, wow, balls taking away mid run, extra points and field goals blocked, penalties abound. Yes papa, looks like last week was just Wilson buring out brightly like a light bulb about to go out.

Pats tie it up, miraculously, they go for it on the 4th downs and make them, then a play or two later fumble the ball. 5 turnovers so far...
