I am beginning to think this is the most difficult game on the remainder of our schedule. Mayfield is playing exceptionally well, the offense has jelled, and the D is pretty impressive too. We'll have to bring our A game to this one.

Yep, and they beat Detroit too. They are no push-overs.

The offense was clicking on all cylinders. The defense not as dominant as last year's. All in all, the team is about the same quality as last year's team, which means they will have another shot at a Super Bowl if they, like you said, can just keep stacking wins. Tampa will be a tougher test, especially as an away game.

Good entertaining game. Impressed with how the o-line is coming together and Lamar's accuracy. Henry is simply a beast. Hope he can hold up over the course of the long season.

Kudos for Orr from me too (and maybe Pees too?). Quarterback was contained completely on the ground and he's just damn good on throwing into tight windows. Washington's defense couldn't handle the Ravens balanced attack. All in all, a good game that I enjoyed watching. Tampa Bay away will be tougher.

Yes...if we're going to go on 'pouty', then Brady, the GOAT, would have a zero in leadership. Members of the O-line have also talked up Lamar's increased leadership role this year.

The thing I didn't like about Pees was his 'bend don't break' philosophy. I like the 'controlled chaos' defenses espoused by Rex, Pagano, and MacDonald where you are disguising what your're doing, who is or isn't blitzing, and maximum pressure. Pees' defenses were too passive in my opinion. I don't doubt that Orr could use some help right about now but I don't think Pees is the influence we should be looking for.

Larmar is definitely a leader on offense and it's true Henry is quickly developing into one also.

NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Yeah, I think that really screams negligence on the Bills and Refs' part. He looked out of it to me and I bet he is concussed.

Probably another Cinci replay that goes down to the wire. Fortunately, it is a home game for us. That should help some. This game looks like Lamar I vs Lamar II.

I don't know many, if any, quarterbacks could have made the play where Lamar stiff-armed Hubbard, not once but twice, while running to his right and then thowing across his body to both find and complete a pass to Likely in the end zone for a TD. I've never seen a play made like that before. And Tsyl, you're spot on. There aren't any great teams in the league these days. Our defense had a piss poor day for sure. Orr is learning on the job. The O-line is patchwork with several moving parts. And yet with all that, the Ravens put on a 41 point outburst. It was one damned good entertaining game. Next up is Washington which will test Orr's D again. If the Ravens had a good offensive line, I wouldn't hesitate to pick us to win. We will lose a few more games on the way but so will all the other teams and in the end I think we will wind up in the playoffs.

I dunno, guys...we always wondered what Lamar would do if we got involved in a shootout. I'd say he did pretty damn good today. And a big, fat NO to Davante Adams! We don't need him.

He's b-a-a-a-c-k!!!

You have to ignore them because they always laud the flavor of the month. I've noticed this even during games by the announcers and color analysts. When a team has the lead, they crow about how awesome they are. Then, if they fail, they've got all the reasons they 'knew' that would happen. It's pretty sickening.

If the Ravens win Sunday, the bandwagon won't have any room left for more analysts.

The sooner they forget about last week's win, the better. I want them going into Cincy with a chip on their shoulder. Should be easy to wear since Burrow has always had success against us.

Ravens' website reports perfect attendance at first practice this week. Vorhees back. I think they should go with the same line as last week though. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Pierce practiced also.

Man the Jets sure looked bad on offense Sunday. I think that was the worst I've ever seen Rodgers look.

17mil and a 2nd is too much. Plus, I don't think we need him. Like you said, we have a lot of guys whose contracts are up this year.

Ya gotta give the Seahawks some time. I really think McDonald will succeed there. Detroit is awfully good now too.

Well I think that just based on talent, Mekari is better, at this stage, than Vorhees. Rosengarten really played well. I'd keep the line the same for the Bengals. By the way, a shout out to Zach Orr...he called a tight game and utilized Hamilton more like last year, though still not as much as McDonald did.

Yes! They have the right mindset now: confidence along with the need to keep focussed. Harbs was fired up and he has to stay that way and keep from having timeout issues. Henry is a beast...I just hope he can hold up for a whole season. And, over the last two years now, Justice Hill has come out of nowhere to be the perfect complement to Henry. Lamar had a great night though that fumble almost cost them the lead but i like the way he talked to every member of the offensive line on the sideline after that. He is growing as a leader. We have yet another tough game coming up with the Bengals who always give us fits. We really have to concentrate on Burrow---he's a Raven killer.

Listen, bro, this was a resounding win. Just what they needed to salvage the season and shoot for the playoffs. Lamar was hot all week on leadership, Henry was the beast and. van Noy was the defensive leader. They overcame adversity of self inflicted wounds and Harbs timeout brain fart. This team is loaded with talent. If it’s coached properly the sky is, the limit. Schedule ahead is tough but if they play like last night, there’s nothing to fear in this league. Time for Harbs to step up and keep the team focused. Now we have something to look forward to.

Very true. Maybe they'll let him out of the doghouse to give it a go. I did read though that they would prefer Mekari to LG and Rosengarten to RT.
