Very exciting, YES!

I'd say they're ripe for a letdown. This is another thing that relates to coaching. Billick was especially good at this. That photo Max showed above should be a good motivator. We'll see. Hope Stanley is going to be OK. We'll need him down the stretch and beyond if we get that far.

It doesn't make sense to me to keep Jones...he has nothing to offer. I'm baffled to as to why they would cut Canaday to keep him on the roster. So far as picking up Demaryius, it does seem to me Max is right. Same problems with him as with Jones.

I tell you...I was damned tired of watching the plodding offense we had before. Now, anything can happen on any play and the results so far have been great for us.. Hard to believe this team has changed so much in one year. I guess Roman and Wink will be head coaches elsewhere next year...good for them but sad for us. Maybe Bisciotti will make them an offer they can't refuse like he did with DaCosta.

Good review and I agree with him completely on most of it. He's a tough grader but his grades are well within the margin of error for ratings like this.

He's an unusually good leader...especially for his age. The team adores the guy and they really want to play for him.

Sometimes when I am watching the game, I think to myself that if Lamar can stay healthy this team can beat anybody. In fact they just did in beating NE!

I've never seen a talent like Lamar before in football. The kid is only in his second year! Wow! Just, Wow!

I agree Max...Tucker wins it for us in a close game. A real nail-biter.

Oh what the hell---Ravens 24 Pats 21.

Really exciting times!

Yup ref’s will be rough on our d. But if they take your advice we will prevail.

Lamar is a real leader. He makes everyone around him confident of success. He knows how to carry the team on his back when necessary. A real big change from Joe.

Feels great to be wrong!!! Gooooooo Ravens!

Seahawks 31 Ravens 13. Hate to say it but, Seahawks 31 Ravens 13. Here’s hoping I’m wrong.

Good trade! And hopefully we can use Max’s idea about releasing Smith and Canady and sign him long term. If not we get a comp pick anyway as Taylor suggests. My only concern is can Harbaugh deal with his personality? Anyway, another smart move by Eric.

No. The Stadiums.

At the moment, Lamar is the most exciting player in football! Stay healthy, though!

Seattle is a very hostile environment to play in. Wilson is having a terrific year and, at this stage, he's more polished than Lamar. Our defense won't be able to stop the Seahawks. Lamar will pull off a few very dazzling runs and maybe a pass or three to keep the score somewhat respectable but Seattle is on a roll with Wilson right now. When I look at Seattle's team I think I'm getting a preview of what the Ravens will be like next year or the year after. (I hope!) Meanwhile, these injuries are killing us. We've got to get Brown back on offense. I think our defense, which is only fair when healthy is so riddled with injuries that it's done for the year. And there wasn't a whole lot of talent to begin with. The Pats may be a different story. Best team in the league but they'll be playing in a very hostile environment. But with no pass pressure do we really have any chance against the Pats and Brady? I'm hope Jimmy Smith is back by then. But even that won't be enough.

It was an interesting win to say the least. Great effort by Lamar but he's got to hit the dirt before taking some of these hits. His passing was good---only one or two lapses. As has been said, the TE's have to cut out this jumping shit. Somebody wake up Bozeman in the huddle when the snap count is called. I liked the game. Lamar is simply fantastic but I don't know how long of a career he's going to have. He took some tough tackles running today. So next is Seatlle then NE. We'll be moaning after those two so enjoy it now.

Yeah, me too. I'd really like Lamar to have a field day because they are about to hit the toughest part of their schedule. San Fran really did a number on Mayfield and the million dollar offense. I wonder what they'll do us. I hope to see gradual improvement in the 'D' this week.

Preston makes some good points: https://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/analysis/preston/bs-sp-ravens-preston-pass-rush-20191008-suk7mne6yvg77m2y3onxa7xcly-story.html I really think we'll cover better if we can just get defensive pressure. Have to wait until the draft though unless DaCosta pulls a Houdini.

Defense has to come first...particularly the pass rush. Hard to believe there's no one on this team who can be counted on to apply pressure, hits, and sacks.

Boller was a good guy; he just couldn't settle down as Tsyl said. But glad he's doing alright now.
