"I saw the same quarterback but with better play when Case Keenum came in and spelled Baker about seven weeks ago. Saw the same thing, and for much cheaper,” Edwards explained. “If I'm them, I'd move on from him. And if I'm Baker and his agent, I'd look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself who you are, which is tough to do.” Edwards was a first-found pick in the 2005 NFL Draft by Cleveland Browns. Edwards himself knows a thing or two about not living up to draft stock. That did not stop him from giving his input on Mayfield. “He loses them a lot of games, that's not what good-to-great quarterbacks do. They don't lose their teams a lot of games, he does,” Edwards said. Edwards essentially said that Mayfield is at fault for some of the losses, that he loses the Browns a lot of games due to his play. “Mayfield is short, slow, and hasn't looked himself in the mirror. Mayfield is an individual who needs everything to be perfect to have success,” said Edwards. "There's nothing wrong with that when you understand that's what you are. He's not a guy who's going to win you games. Baker is going to win you games when everything is right. So, I think they need to move on.”.............Former Browns WR Braylon Edwards Weighs in on Baker Mayfield (msn.com)

Jamison Hensley on Twitter “Ravens QB Lamar Jackson turns 25 today. His 37 victories are the most by a QB under the age of 25 since the 1970 merger: Lamar Jackson: 37 Dan Marino: 34 Drew Bledsoe: 32 Ben Roethlisberger: 29”

Boyle and Ricard will be out. There goes any remining blocking.

This mi9ght be Bozemans last game as a Raven. Smith...many others too.

You could be right. Watt will get the record. Lamar was sacked 7 times last game.

Ravens win percentage 59.9. ESPN's MNF Rthlssxxssbrrgrr Lovefest failed to mention that Ben is the best 3 yard passer in the NFL. Overlooked was his 24/46 attempts for a whopping 123 yards and a 2.7ypp. 1 TD and 1 INT for 56.3 RTG. They also failed to mention that Baker made a good case for his final appearance at Heinz Field going16/38 with 10 incompletions in a row, a 4.9 ypp, 2 TD's and 2 INTS and a 53.1 rating. Offensively the Ravens have nothing to fear. However, the Ravens have three straight losses in a row to the Steelers and a big part of that has been Covid and depleted rosters. It will be the same situation Sunday. Let's pause for a moment and look at the intensity of this rivalry... The Steelers now are in second place in the division and the Ravens are in third. Both teams are still in the hunt for a playoff spot with a fabulous 3.5% chance of making the playoffs. Both teams need the Jags to defeat the Colts as 1 of several things that needs to happen to make the playoffs. That explains the 3%. False hope is better than no hope, so I offer you this: The Jags lost to Colts 23-17 at Indy this year. Close game. They won against the Colts at home last year 27-20 and 38-20 in 2019. So, at home they do better. With nothing to lose, in a lost season, can Treavor Lawrence "let it all hang out" and play like he did at Clemson? Suspend logic. The young lad may grow a pair. Let's keep it simple, both teams hate each other . The Steelers want to close out the season with a win for Ben in his final game and stomp the Ravens and their hopes in front of their home crowd Sunday. The Ravens want to see Ben close out his career with the loss and the Steelers playoff hopes dashed and leapfrog them into second place in the AFC North. The Ravens want revenge. send them home with their tail between their legs. To get it the Ravens offense has to do a better job against the Steelers defense that sacked Mayfield nine times, hit him 11 times, intercepted him two times, had 10 tackles for loss, and batted down at least five passes. And of course, Watt with 21 sacks, one shy of the NFL record, will be aiming to set a new record Sunday. Roman and his ragtag group of offensive players have to do a better job than they did in their 20 to 19 loss earlier this year in Pittsburgh. Lamar was sacked seven times, hit 11 and intercepted once. The Ravens dominated the time of possession 36:30 to 23:30 but 10 penalties, the sacks and turnover killed a lot of drives. Let's hope the Ravens offense doesn't have a similar game plan as the one Stefansky and the Browns offense had MNF. They only ran the ball nine times in the first half despite having the number three ranked rushing attack and the Steelers having the number 31st rushing defense. Chubb only had 4 carries! No... We have to have Baker throw and win the game! Ravens fans who agonizingly watched five losses in a row, three of them by one point, and one by two points....We've had enough! We need the satisfaction of a season-ending win over the Steelers. 8-8-1 to me, is not a winning record. It would be nice to hang that on Tomlin's neck. And the Ravens would have a nine and eight winning record with some momentum going into next season. Team Stats Points Per Game 20.4 23.4 Points Allowed Per Game 24.1 23.5 Total Yards 329.8 397.3 Yards Passing 235.8 257.9 Yards Rushing 94.0 139.4 Yards Allowed 379.4 381.2 Pass Yards Allowed 239.8 296.4 Rush Yards Allowed 139.6 84.8 Finally, if Lamar feels good enough to play and is medically cleared, it would be sweet for Ravens fans to see him play Sunday and close out the 2021 season in his rightful place at the helm with some semblance of normalcy heading into 2022. Because 2022 is The Year of the Raven. Revenge and Payback and a pot of gold at the end.

Urban has failed to keep Lamar true to his mechanics and has never called a game at this level. I don't see Roman's replacement in the Castle. The right guy is out there. I just don't know where. Harbaugh has a temper and an obsession to win. After the game, and he looked pissed, he said, "If we score touchdowns, we win the game. It's that simple." Roman may very much be in Harbaughs doghouse.

I'm undecided at the moment on Roman. That's why I put up the thread for discussion. I want to hear your views, the pro's and con's. You guys actually know your shit.

It's close. Can't talk draft without solving the FA riddle.

Versatile players like him who can fill in anywhere and get the job done are gold. He is not the answer at RT. Wasn't signed to be.

This certainly needs a hard looking into.

Nice post tsyl. It's a good beginning. WOW! They have so many positions of need! ageing players. Injured players. Free agents they could lose. It would be great if we can make a list.

2% chance. They need a Jags win over the Colts. Jags gave up 50 points yesterday therefore the 2% shot.... Here’s what the Ravens, losers of five straight, need over the next six days to secure a wild-card berth and advance to the playoffs for the fourth straight year. A win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Enough said. The Ravens’ second-half swoon started with their narrow Week 13 loss in Pittsburgh, and their season would end with another defeat in Baltimore. At least one loss by the Cleveland Browns. Doesn’t matter whether it’s a loss Monday night to the Steelers or a loss next Sunday to the AFC North champion Cincinnati Bengals. In this scenario, a 9-8 Browns team would best a 9-8 Ravens team because of its superior division record. A Jacksonville Jaguars win over the Indianapolis Colts. Of all the conditions necessary for the Ravens to advance, this is easily the least likely to materialize. The Jaguars are 2-14 and have little to play for. The Colts are 9-7 and would clinch a playoff berth with a win in Jacksonville. A Las Vegas Raiders win over the Los Angeles Chargers. A Raiders home win would clinch a playoff spot for Las Vegas and push the Ravens into a three-way tie with the Chargers and Colts at 9-8. With the Ravens having beaten both earlier this season, they’d win the head-to-head tiebreaker. A New England Patriots win over the Miami Dolphins. Yes, the Dolphins were eliminated from playoff contention Sunday after a blowout loss to the Tennessee Titans. But if they beat the Patriots, they would join the Ravens, Chargers and Colts here at 9-8. That would nix the head-to-head tiebreaker — the Ravens lost to Miami in Week 10 — and lead to the next tiebreaker: conference record. In that case, Indianapolis would advance......The Ravens need a lot of help to reach the playoffs. Here’s how they can still get there. - Baltimore Sun It's over. Well not quite. There's some revenge needed to be taken next Sunday. According to FiveThirtyEight’s projections, the Ravens’ playoff odds are down to 2%. Now you can see why.

I've got Covid or Omicron. Riding it out. Happy New Year. Reality: Jeff Zrebiec on Twitter “Ravens would be eliminated from the division race today with either a loss to Rams; or a Bengals win over Chiefs. Ravens would be eliminated from playoff contention today with a loss to Rams and wins by the Dolphins (over Titans), Raiders (over Colts) and Chargers (over Broncos)” Hope: Jamison Hensley on Twitter “The Ravens can move into one of the AFC's playoff spots today with one week remaining if they beat the Rams and the Dolphins lose at the Titans”J

BWAHAHAAHAAAA!!!!!

Buy Or Sell the following statement going into Sunday's game: The Ravens remain dangerous in this spot because they are the Ravens, but there is just too much going against them.

Joe Biden walks better than Lamar. “Not practicing for Ravens: FB Patrick Ricard (knee), WR Devin Duvernay (ankle), OL Kevin Zeitler, Tyre Phillips and Ben Powers (toe); OLBs Justin Houston, Tyus Bowser and Odafe Oweh; ILB Malik Harrison; DBs Anthony Averett (ribs), Tavon Young, Anthony Levine Sr.”

Harbaugh: "Sunday was a tough game for everybody. We got it handed it to us. We acknowledge that. You learn from those things. We better." Jeff Zrebiec on Twitter “John Harbaugh said that Lamar Jackson will practice today, likely on a limited basis.” Jeff Zrebiec on Twitter “Harbaugh said the Ravens are doing everything virtual right now. "We've pretty much separated the whole team." Harbaugh says that he is hopeful Lamar Jackson will play Sunday. "You can't make a promise. WE don't know." Harbaugh said he expects Tyler Huntley to return tomorrow” Baltimore Ravens on Twitter “"I'm hopeful... Most of all Lamar does. He's going to do everything he can to be out there." https://t.co/wkFzscnOnj” Jeff Zrebiec on Twitter “Ravens get several guys back today from Reserve/COVID-19 list. OLB Justin Houston, ILBs Chris Board and Kristian Welch and S Geno Stone activated. Practice squad OT David Sharpe and QB Chris Streveler also back. They'll practice today and should be available Sunday.” Things are looking up!

Sell. They are flying in Saturday night. By the time they check in at the Hotel Covid in the Inner Horror they'll be lucky to get 4 hours sleep. By Sunday morning they will be putting their shoes on wrong.

Ravens win percentage 44.5. This season is not over. A Ravens win Sunday will be so huge and make for a very exciting final regular season game at the Bank. Chiefs, Titans, Bengals, Bills, Colts, Patriots & Dolphins.....Some of these teams will lose a game as they play each other. If the Ravens win out then they will make the playoffs because of that. Therefore Sunday and the 12th man will be one wild game. And the Ravens secondary that you saw Sunday??? Why that was nothing more than a mass hallucination. Think nothing of it. What will happen? The Rams will catch a case of The Baltimore Flu. I hear the Rams are flying in Saturday night. The Chargers did that and lost 34-6.

Jamison Hensley on Twitter “Mark Andrews is clearly the best tight end in the NFL right now. 93 receptions (10 more than all TEs) 1,187 yards receiving (121 more than all TEs) 9 TD catches (tied among all TEs) 69 first downs (11 more than all TEs) 18 catches of 20-plus yards (3 more than all TEs)”

They should love the opportunity to play vs this Ravens D.
