Should easily beat the Jets. It's playing on 3 days rest that bothers me. I want to wrap Lamar in bubble-wrap.

A game following a long road-trip is always a challenge. It's tempting to want to rest and party on the West Coast. Many a good Baltimore team has unexpectedly lost on game/travel like this. But this is where Harbaugh flourishes by being able to keep the team focused. I see a Ravens win. Hate to look ahead but I'm more concerned by the Thursday night game coming up soon. It's an injury trap.

For years I hoped to see an exciting Ravens offense. The closest they came before this season and last season was the playoff series and the Super Bowl of the 2012 season. Now, I get to watch one every freaking game! And now the defense is coming on. Congrats to Lamar, Greg Roman, the offensive line, the defensive secondary and the new pass rush. Lamar for MVP for sure now. Also kudos for Harbaugh for realizing he had an exceptional talent to build an offense around and then delegated the execution of that to G. Ro. and Lamar. Kudos also to Martindale for building an effective defense after a horrible early start to the season. Those 500 yards given up per game are now just a bad memory.

It is shocking, Crav! I keep seeing new things every week that excite me. And where did this defense suddenly come from? The secondary is covering so well the qb's can't get off a throw before being snowed under by the Ravens D. Yup...just keep Lamar healthy. The whole team just feeds off of him.

WOW! GREAT F---ING GAME! What a complete team win. They're on their way to the post season easily if they keep playing like this. I'm starting to think Super Bowl. Bring on the purple Kool-Aid!!!!!!!!

Like i said...it's gonna be tough. It's almost like the Ravens vs. Ravens...teams are very similar. I'll go out on the limb and say a late FG by Tucker wins it 31-30.

It was the most egregious foul I've seen in Football in all the years (60) I've been watching. I don't care what Rudolph said or did to him. As Max says, he could have killed the guy.

Tsyl, if you keep this up, I'm going to have to read the book again and see the movie again!

you're right about that.

Gonna be tough. Watson gives the Houston offense a weapon the Ravens defense has not seen before. He's much like Lamar. Lamar has more moves and a bit more overall talent than DeShaun especially in leadership. Watson is a mobile pocket passer. Not as many runs but has the stats to infer he is the better passer. Lamar is more explosive and is the better leader. They are very close in ability but Houston has the better defense. I'm leaning towards Houston at this point because of that but could easily change my mind.

We needed some depth and we got some...did the best we could do at this point in the season. Ellis is a known run-stuffer.

Wow! Like I said, he's a great leader.

Yup I worry about him too doing this in the future but for right now I'm in his corner all the way. He has no fear and does things no Raven has ever been capable of doing. No more snoozing when the offense is on the field. The defense is inconsistent. It's our Achilles heal. They have to upgrade a player or two there for next season. We need a better pass rush and another guy to complement what Pierce does. When he's not on the field the whole defensive line disappears.

Good stuff, Tsyl! Interesting to see that book and movie series make it to our forum, too!

The offense is red-hot and they pummeled a hapless Bengal team. It suddenly seems that Lamar can beat any team with his arm or legs. All-Pro candidate for sure. The defense...well the rush defense has had better days but the secondary, for the most part, played very well. It was a textbook example of a real football slaughter.

Wow! like that!

34-6 Ravens.

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!
