Tornado700 Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Maybe we can go in there and pull this one out. Quote
vmax Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Maybe the light goes on for Joe. That would give them a chance. Quote
varaven45 Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Sounds about right - playing in the black hole and against a 2nd string QB Quote
vmax Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 The purple kool aid has me thinking this is a winnable game.But....The part of me that knows the game...that seldom seen, rational part says the Ravens have no shot.It's a pipe dream. You don't turn this boring and embarrasing wreck around in 1 week.... In 15 games with Mornhinweg calling the plays, the Ravens have failed to consistently move the ball and reach the end zone, ranking No. 22 in total yards (330.1) and points scored (20.6). After four games, Flacco has completed only two passes on throws of 15 yards or longer and has been intercepted four times on such passes. That means twice as many of Flacco's deep throws have gone to the other team than the Ravens themselves. The Ravens' inability to stretch the field is reaching embarrassing proportions. Flacco's average of 5.09 yards per attempt is the worst in the NFL since Bruce Gradkowski's 5.06 in 2006.The other quarterbacks with worst yards per attempt averages under 5.25 since 2001 include: Kyle Orton, Joey Harrington, JaMarcus Russell and Brady Quinn. This shows the level of struggle for Flacco and the Ravens offense. There are bad quarterbacks, and then there are Harrington and Russell....http://www.espn.com/blog/baltimore-ravens/post/_/id/39454/joe-flacco-has-completed-twice-as-many-deep-passes-to-defenses-than-ravens Quote
papasmurfbell Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 I look at Harbs history of the road and cross country trips. Quote
vmax Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 I look at Harbs history of the road and cross country trips. On the west coast 3 and 6. Quote
GrubberRaven Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 Looks like Carr may have practiced too Quote
varaven45 Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 I heard on NFL network that Carr is healing quickly but still out at least 2 weeks. Carr or Manuel, it wont matter. This team struggles mightily on the left coast. Quote

GrubberRaven Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 Carr practiced again, but EJ took first reps. Smith and Watson were back, along with Hill for the Ravens. Quote
tsylvester Posted October 7, 2017 Posted October 7, 2017 Either way, 350 yards passing, 4 touchdowns for whom ever throws the rock. Add another 50 or 60 yards rushing for them too, & 175 ruahing for beast mode, big win for Da Raiders... Quote
vmax Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) I watched Maryland Ohio State yesterday.Do I have to live through a repeat today? I'm feeling the Joe's going to push/force today. He's going to go all out to make plays.That usually means a ton of interceptions and sacks. +7: In wins against the Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns, the Ravens owned a +7 turnover differential on the strength of 10 takeaways and three giveaways. In losses against the Jacksonville Jaguars and Pittsburgh Steelers, the differential slid to -5 on six giveaways and one takeaway.21: That is how many combined catches the Ravens’ top three wide receivers in Jeremy Maclin (10 receptions), Mike Wallace (nine), and Breshad Perriman (two) have made so far. Fifteen individual receivers in the NFL each have caught 22 passes or more.127.3: That is how many rushing yards the Ravens have averaged in four games, which ranks as the ninth highest in the NFL. Conversely, the Raiders rank 24th in the league in rushing defense after allowing 120.0 yards.http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/ravens-insider/bs-sp-three-stats-ravens-raiders-20171006-story.html Edited October 8, 2017 by vmax Quote
vmax Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 I'm digging for any kind of hope.Found this..... Only four teams in the AFC have NOT lost at least two games.That’s right, we’re only four weeks into the 2017 season, but three-fourths of the teams in the Ravens’ conference have already gone down at least twice. Overall, 22 of the league’s 32 teams have at least two losses.I bring it up not to emphasize that the season is far from over in Baltimore. That’s obvious, despite what the past two weeks suggest....http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/article-1/Eisenberg-Ravens-Arent-the-Only-NFL-Team-With-Issues-/a2cb3ff4-986d-4549-918d-79773cb90516 Quote
RavenMad Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 The NFL are getting what they want in parity. Only problem is, it's at the cost of quality. Quote
tsylvester Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 Great win, can they so it again? Two.more lost to injury, will they be season enders? Quote
GrubberRaven Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 I thought he was fine and came back in? Quote
tsylvester Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Not that I know of, kept seeing him on the bench not looking too happy. Quote
