End of 1st quarter

Play fake, no one open, Texans leave the door open, Lamar runs for 23

My internet is a little buggy today me thinks, a post or two missing and slow Short kicks, Duv takes it to the 24

Defense has to be better stopping Stroud from escaping to his right Run up the middle, Clowney all over him, no gain Hurry up offense Bkutz, they force him to flee, to his right, hits Shultz, who drops it 3rd down 10 Blitz, pass complete to Collins who breaks a tackle, Stone, and runs for a 1st down False start 2:19 From the 50 SStroud hits Shultz for 20, Darby in coverage

5:02 Gus up the middle, muscles for 4 Hill up the middle for 4 Lamar has the escape, holding against the Ravens, pass was incomplete. 4th and 2, penalty declined, Simpson got caught Bad punt, esh, on the Ravens side of the 50, 27 yards, holding against the Texans, that will back them up 10 yards

That little dig by Buck about the Ravens not having a loud crowd in the playoffs, Palouse, we've only had what 2 home playoff games including this one, and that Broncos game was as loud as I've ever heard any stadium. This one may be louder!

Punt to the Ravens 12, fair caught by Duv

Way fo go Crowd! 3rd and 21 Out of field goal range Stroud chased from the pocket on a 4 man rush, throws it incomplete Ravens were in a cover 2

Lamar, in limited throws, is right on the money with really small windows to throw through, a good sign

Deep set, Lamar fires over the middle for Obj to the Texans 42 Lamar keeps it again, dances but gets tackled by the shoe string for a loss of 2 Lamar looks, can't find anyone, fires to Edward in the flat who gets hits as the ball arrives, 3rd and 12 Hits Bateman for 9 in the flat, Tucker time Lamar is doing a good job of using all of the play clock 53 yards is perfect 3-0 Ravens

Sweep right for Hill, gain of 2 Lamar looks, can't find anyone, dances, takes off gain of 8, 1st down

Lamar keeps it to the right, gain of 4 Blitz from the corner, Lamar floats back hits Flowers for 8 yards

Attached boy Tucker! Man is that crows loud! Run left, NO GAIN! PASS to the flat, Darby nocks it away! 3rd and 10 Blitz, he gets away but 3 defenders await and stop him well short of the line to gain punt time Almost blocked, line drive punt went 53 yards, Duv returns it 10 yards to the 25

Kick It into the Harbor!

Oh boy, another game intro... just kick the darn ball off already!

I heard that O here in Middle River! The crowd is Jacked!

R U READY!?! R U READY! R U READY!!!! Here we go peeps, who will we see, the Ravens who dominate teams with winning records? Or The team that beats them selves?! Stay Tuned

If they don't beat themselves with turnovers and penalties, whoopi!

Kolar is a decent blocker, and of course Richard. If Lamar is on target and gets an escape route to buy time, this game could be over by half time I expect the defense will employ a different strategy than the first game, start out 2 high, maybe match up zone under or straight man under. But a lot of stunts to confuse their offensive line

Andrews out for this game

Yeah, but I think they have the depth for this game, just keep that jackrabbit from going over the top. They will need Humph for the hopefully next 2 games.

Humphrey is now out for the game, that calf is being a grinch..

Lamar has struggled in the cold and wind, Saturday is going to be both, in major ways. So he has a chance to keep his feet under him, get the right cleets to keep from slipping as he usually does. Just throw the ball, not try to direct it in the wind. Andrews looks like he is going to play, I hope not. Frozen field broken ankle, get one more week of rest in, they can win this game without him. They will need him against either the Bill's or the Chiefs, and especially in Super Bowl.

Hard to tell at this point. No way of knowing how the Cheifs will be next year, with a tight cap, retirements, free agents etc. Cowboys, okay, they are the Cowboys after alll... But the Chargers, new hc, when will that west coast trip be assigned, right after or before the Chiefs or spread out? Then there are all of the free agents the Ravens have to sign or replace in the off season, this could be a very different team.
