  1. If you look up ugly in the dictionary it would have a picture of this team in this game. Fumble returned for a touchdown, can't catch the easy passes for 1st downs, cant even block air, as many linemen missing blocks, looking around trying to find someone to block. At one point this team 3 times as many plays,held the ball for 4 times what the Falcons did, yet still trailed in the game. The defense was very good, they played Penex just the way you should: make him beat you with his legs. Oh he ate some, but not near his average. Same for Robinson and their running game. Then Hamilton sealed the game in over time. I bet that felt real good for him, remember last year, he could have sealed the win over the Browns with a pick but dropped it!? The Falcons scored 1 offensive touchdown, ONE. Yeah, the coaches and players are singing a sweet tune for Snoop, but man, good thing it was an over confident Falcons team on a Sunday night after a tropical storm roared through the area. 4-1, right on track, record wise. They have set themselves up nicely while they figure who and what works best. Now we get into the hard part of the schedule, Browns up next, a team that always plays us tuff, a team playing well, despite their slip up yesterday.
  2. I'm going to bed, watch the recording in the am So far, nice drive to open the game, terrible play calls at the goal line followed by Huntley missing a wide open Flowers in the corner, as he tossed a high hard, wide pass to Andrews who had position 3-0 is nice but me thinks they will need more of the 7 variety
  3. Man, that Giants vs Commandos game was an exercise in futility
  4. Some great college games today, quite enjoyable. One thing I will add, I am not that impressed with Manning. Sure, rocket for an arm but not very accurate. Several qbs Ive seen the oast 2 years who are better than he, in college. Watched a game turn in a goal line stand. The very next play, a 97 yard touchdown run.
  5. Right move, even if he were to be 90%. Out of conference game, let him rest a week to be ready for the tough part of the schedule.
  6. Read it wrong
  7. Nobody has shown that they are that much better than the rest of the league, right now. We are only 4 games into the season. Yes, this team has some holes, they need to refine the defense and especially the special teams which are just awful. But the biggest thing they need to change are the penalties, which has cost this team a game and, kept others close.. Just clean that up and watch the change....
  8. At this time of year a team in need of offensive line help will over pay. I will say they screwed up not signing Zeitler, but then maybe they tried and he wanted too much.
  9. Yeah, he is dealing with a concussion right now, not as if he would be playing this weekend any way. While his play dropped off, most of that was due to moving to a new position, guard and the issues that Eagle offense has right now.
  10. Ravens trade with Eagles to get Cam Jurgens, The Baltimore Ravens traded with the Philadelphia Eagles for two-time Pro Bowl center Cam Jurgens on Wednesday, filling a desperate need at that position for Baltimore. The Ravens sent a 2027 fifth-round pick and a 2028 second-round selection to the Eagles in exchange for Jurgens and a 2027 seventh-rounder Dan Graziano Jurgens, 27, is under contract through the 2029 season. "Cam is a player we have long admired going all the way back to the draft process," Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said in a statement. "He's a young foundational piece along our offensive line - a great scheme and cultural fit who will c https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/50126306/ravens-acquire-center-cam-jurgens-trade-eagles
  11. Shouldn't be if it is just a simple sprain, generally 10 days, right as rain and that is without treatment. Given the treatments available to these pro athletes I would say there is a chance, although unlikely, that he plays Sunday night, if not for sure the week after.
  12. Thankfully it appears Lamar just has a sprained anckle and not a high anckle sprain. The later takes a lot longer to heal
  13. Pushed around at times, that depends on the personnel met thinks. There have been plenty of times when they have stuffed running games, I think The Minter is trying to find out rhe right formula.
  14. I must say, I thought the Falcons were terrible. But after looking at their stats, they do pose a serious risk, especially without Lamar. Their pass rush is okay, the Ravens have faced better. But with Huntley, that could be a real challenge especially if the Ravens can't run the ball.
  15. There are three big questions facing the Ravens when they go to Atlanta for their Sunday night game. Who will be the quarterback for Baltimore? Will the Baltimore defense play a complete game? Who are the Falcons? Atlanta comes into this game on a 2 game win streak. They dominated a depleted Packer team and a Saints team in their Dome. Yes, the same Saints team that beat the Ravens not too long ago. But the Falcons got blowm out by the Panthers and lost to Pittsburgh by a touchdown. In essence, this Falcons team is an enigma. Since their young signal called returned from injury they have been lighting up the score board. They hwve done this mostly by running the two headed monster lnowm as Bejon and Brian Robinson, not related. The pair have been running through defenses this year. Combined they have 8 rushing touchdowns, rushed for 688 yards and are averaging 160 yards a game on the ground. Penex, now that he is healthy, is completing 73% of his passes in the two games he has played this year, with 2 tds and 1 int. How good he is another mystery. Since coming into the league in 2024, he has played in 16 of 48 games due to various injuries. Even in college he missed a lot of time on the field because of injury. Defensively, the Falcons rank near the top in several categories. They are 8th in the league in total yards per game, averaging just 313 yards. They are 21st in sacks though with just 7 in 4 games. However, against the run is where they shine, allowing just 48.3 yards per game. This can all be scary for a team dealimg with injuries to its quarterback, shuffling an offensive line due to injuries and a defense still searching for the right recipe. So, who ya got?
  16. The Minter has been pretty honest with injuries so far, so I'll give him some rope
  17. Yeah, the way The Minter was talking up Huntley today, it sure sounds like Lamar will miss this game
  18. After MRI team "unsure if Lamar will play next Sunday night" This can only be good news, right? I mean, if there was damage or need for surgery, they would have stated so, yes? So maybe only 1 game
  19. The D is playing great for half a game right now. The sacks will come. As I said earlier, I found it quite odd that 3 of the four pass rushers who got between the linemen and the quarterback could not then disengage and get to Ward. It's not as if he has the speed and quickness of Lamar. I believe they were being held. Why not called? The score. I saw multiple fouls on the Titans that did not get called, not just on defense but when the Ravens were on offense. A few times their d line was holding the Ravens offensive linemen. Special teams, blocks in the back that went uncalled.... Even some of the penalties called on the Ravens were bogus, iffy at best. Again, why? The score. Call those penalties, hold those flags snd the game was well over before half. The NFL and Networks hate blowouts. They got great pressure on Ward with just four. You can see the 4 rushers getting better each game. And this past game was without Trey. The 2ndary, good solid coverage for a half, maybe 2, some of that lead to the pressures the front four was able to create. So I think they are rounding into form, it just needs a little more time. They dont have much more given the schedule after the Falcons game
  20. The Falcons game might just be the game Nano gets to start. The Minter seemed to leave the door open when discussing Huntley's performance. Praised him for keeping the offense moving but also said: they would evaluate. Yes, great clock control, but no points, mostly because Huntley can't throw more than 10 yards...
  21. Week to week I read, but the MRI is today, ao we should hear more later on today. The Falcons are bad, but will this defense play a full game?
  22. He really was incredible. That burst on the long run was long over due and surely missed. Shame about the weak holding call, refs trying to keep the game close...
  23. Post game- The worst part of the schedule to lose Lamar, likely a high ankle sprain.... that is a couple to a few weeks The officiating was horrendous, time and time again we had multiple rushers appear to be free to get to Ward yet some how, they froze in place and could not get to him. Either he had a personal force field or they were being held back and the 2, not 1 but 2 officials behind the offense didnt see 1 holding offense? Bull hockey There is a reason he kept pulling the ball down and fleeing the pocket: because he saw multiple defenders free up about to get to him. Numerous penalties of the field position changing variety called on the Ravens. Most were very iffy at best. 13 for 131 against the Ravens only 5 for 32 against the Titans yeah, something was rotten in Denmark Loops 65 yarder was great, but that easy missed 43 yarder could have cost the team the game. Missed opportunities Penalties 2 of the three that go into losing a big lead, blowing a double digit lead in the 4th 3, maybe 4 times in the 3rd and 4th quarter this offense drove to the 50 or further and didnt score. Why? Penalties were some of it but play calling was most of it. I get that Huntley was in, but come on. In the end a win is a win and you can't leave it up to the officials nor can we expect a place kicker to be perfect. Qbs throw picks, miss open wrs. Wrs drop passes, run the wrong routes. Linemen miss blocks and false start/hold Defense was great, most of the game. Solid tackling, decent coverage, some break downs, great pressure from the front 4. But only 1 sack, when they needed to keep up good coverage at the end, they broke coverage and then, could not tackle.
  24. All the Ravens have to do is recover the onside kick and they win Turnovers are the last key Time out Ravens Big bounce, Starks leaps 100 feet in the air and catches it Game over Ravens win 24-18
  25. 2 mins From the Ravens 41 3rd and 16 Ward forced to dump it down in the flat, tackled right away for 6 Last time out 4th and 10 1:51 Time out Ravens R you Freaking Kidding me! Ward forced to flee, once again the front 4 csnt get off the blocks, I wonder why?! Throws across the field to a wide open reciever who breaks 3 tackles and get to the 3 yard line with 1:36 left Ward rolls right hits a wide ooen Robinson for 6, going for 2 1:12 2 pt is good. 24-18
