No change in how I'm feeling about this game... I'm taking it one match up at a time. I like the Ravens here. My brain can't fathom the Ravens running the table through the Super Bowl. That's their worry and they are "one game at a timing" it.

Too far out. Lamar and Harbaugh signed it. Next...the Dali Lama gets one.

"I see a Ravens win this early in the week. Surprised?" Here's some early information...High of 43 degrees at game time...clear skies.... Team Stats Points Per Game 33.8 21.4 Points Allowed Per Game 18.3 15.7 Total Yards 429.4 366.8 Yards Passing 221.6 228.8 Yards Rushing 207.8 137.9 Yards Allowed 339.3 321.3 Pass Yards Allowed 244.3 217.0 Rush Yards Allowed 94.9 104.3

Remember Johnny U's crippled hands? McCrary's knees? This list is so long of players crippled by this game that they loved.

wow. So sad. Here's to hoping it doesn't get worse.

And the Ravens got an Abrams tank for Christmas

And the Steelers. Probably at the top of this list should be staying healthy for the whole team. Every team is banged up this time of year. The Ravens are right there with them. A few keys players taken out will deep 6 their SB hopes. Guys like Brandon Williams. Humphrey, anybody on the O line,

It's something like this.... As the possibility of being a #1v seed sinks in, with it comes some serious concerns. #1 Lamar staying healthy. He carried this team on his back Sunday, took some nasty hits and some cheap shots. As more is at stake, how many cheap shots will be aimed at him? #2. Run defense. This has to be real stout and tight or 50% of an opponents game plan will be accomplished...which is keeping the Ravens offense off the field and limiting their possessions. When this happens the Ravens are at most a 21-24 point scoring team. #3 The WR's and medium to deep passing attack needs to exist.

Here we go with the weekly scenarios as the Ravens run for the #1 seed... Here's what could happen this week......

Agree. Lot of football left to play. A lot of time to improve and get playoff ready. One game at a time. They are all important. Take care of Buffalo, take care of business and the #1 seed is theirs to keep. Is that you crav??!

The Ravens can't rest on their laurels. There's a bigger prize to grab. On to Buffalo. This game is very important....

Gosh....

The Ravens are well on their way to having home field advantage in the playoffs. That will be huge. On to Buffalo. Another solid opponent. The Ravens will certainly be battle tested for the playoffs. Unreal the last game winning drive, 6:28 on the clock and they run it down.

More records............ He's real close to breaking Vicks rushing record. Within 50 yards I think.

It's good to see the Ravens as the last man standing in a heavy weight fight. They found a way to win.

Yea...incredible season. Lamar said the weather affected his passing game.

If anybody's on steroids it's Mayfield. Look at the size of his head. Oh my! They lost to the Steelers.

49 yard field goal in real shitty conditions. Best kicker ever. This game was a real dog fight and the Ravens have defeated "the Best". Get ready for this! 10-2!!!!!!!

Along with the rain, the Ravens might dampen the 49er's day a little bit more....

They need to worry about their own back yard.

I like how I felt about a Ravens win before I got more informed. Information simply confuses me. During my extensive research into the 49'ers I stumbled upon this little know fact. This is rapidly becomming a #1 holiday seller. If you are straing down the barrell at one of these ER advises that you smile and say, "How charming! I love it!"

The Pundits Picks....basically all Ravens but in a closer game. https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/pundit-picks-ravens-vs-49ers

Oh! Happy Thanksgiving!

Others share your 'close game outlook too..... It's definitely a good match up between these 2 teams. The Ravens so far this season, have been able to identify and exploit most teams weaknesses with solid game plans and in game adjustments. Here's a theory on how to at least slow down and maybe defeat the Ravens. It all starts with the Ravens 1st possession. So far The Ravens come out on their opening possession and scored. Their opponent starts the game in a hole and the defense wonders what hit them. Teams like the 49ers with good defenses, have to be extremely focused and on edge during the first series. It's got to be their best collective effort. Force a punt. Then turn the tables and score. Now they are in the game instead of running to catch up. I mean....how long can this Ravens offense keep marching down the field on their first 2-3 possessions and bury opponents? Nothing lasts forever. Right? The Ravens have to respect the 49'ers and what they have accomplished. Perhaps the 49ers can at least make the Ravens work hard for the win. Perhaps. The weather may be a factor in slowing this game down and keeping it close. Today I'm not worried. I see the Ravens handling them. Because their defense is damn good. They stop the run and force opponents to put the ball into the Ravens secondary...like fresh meat to the sharks. Game day, Of course I'll be my usual nervous-as-hell self.
