Ravens Rams Talk

Sit of the Week - Jared Goff vs. Baltimore Ravens

Goff has been a shell of the quarterback he was last season with just 12 touchdown passes and 17 turnovers. He's also coming off a 5.2-point stinker against the Bears, and an upcoming matchup against the Ravens makes him a big-time fade. Their defense has surrendered an average of just 13.6 fantasy points to opposing signal-callers.

What do you think team?

Nervous?!

Not me!

The doubters are out there....like long standing Raven hater Pete Prisco...

Baltimore Ravens at Los Angeles Rams (+3)

This is a long trip for the Ravens, but they are playing at such a high level right now. The Rams are not. But the Los Angeles defense has improved in the past couple of games, and that will be in play here. Even so, I think the Rams will be up for the challenge and will pull off the upset.

Pick: Rams 27, Ravens 26

Anything's possible in the NFL but I see a Ravens victory and not a nail-biter. Figuring the Ravens by a touchdown.

[tsylvester]

Long trip, coming off of a huge blow out win, a six game winning streak, every media source singing their praises, a Monday night game...

 

What's that smell? A stinker.... Every team has one or two per season, even the great teams, the all time great qb's....

 

They should dominate this team on paper. The Rams offensive line is terrible. Goff can't throw when he is under pressure. Sure, he moves ok in the pocket, but once he starts to get hit he hears footsteps and like Watson, you can get in his head. Their receivers are not great, Cupp is the one to watch.

 

Their defense is legit, but they can be run on, they take plays off up front so big plays can happen.

 

With that said, this team is not going to win out to the super bowl, they will drop a game or two along the way. I think this is one of those games. Too big of a trap.

I agree tsyl...West coast game, team could be lethargic and have a really slow start that continues throughout the game. The Rams defensive front 4 might be the best in the league. This is most definitely a "must win" game for the Rams if they hope to win a Wild Card spot. But so was last Sunday for the Texans. We saw what happened there. It's very possible for the Ravens to falter here.

There are traps in Hollywood. Will they overcome the temptations of the flesh?

Then again the did fly to Seattle, a longer flight and same time zone....a more hostile environment...and leave with the win.

On paper the teams look basically even, but games are not won on paper. For example: Weddle on Hollywood Brown????  Or trying to catch Lamar??? Or any of the Ravens TE's????

Not happening.

If the Ravens avoid the costly turnovers and penalties and make 2-3 big plays then they will come out with a win. If they are a step slower and sluggish, then it could be a long day. This is a hard game to read.

It's hard to see Goff being effective against the Ravens secondary. He won't have any targets and his O line stinks. I don't see them putting up many points and I can see the Ravens D getting some turnovers to set the offense up.

All things considered, I see a Ravens win.

The Ravens have too many play makers and they have this huge "Something Special" intangible going for them.

They could easily play a bad game but I think they still squeeze it out.  I think Peters will be very ready for this one.  He could get the D ready for it too.  I dont know.  24-20 Ravens.

[varaven45]

Im expecting a Monday night slobberknocker in LA !  Close game.   

[papasmurfbell]

Another question is Gurley's knee.  No Gurley it should be easy.  Gurley punishing with the rock it will be tough.

"There is no defense that is structurally set up to stop them this year," Orlovsky said on Glenn Clark Radio on Nov. 19.  "Enjoy this. Enjoy this. Don't look at what could negatively go wrong," Orlovsky said. "I know we're wired like that but just enjoy the greatness, because I don't know how long or how many years this will happen, but this is just so cool to watch."..........https://www.pressboxonline.com/2019/11/21/dan-orlovsky-no-defense-structurally-set-up-to-stop-ravens

Every time I think this team will come out lethargic or play poorly in a “trap” game they surprise me and come out dominant. Lamar is so singlularly focused on greatness and it’s spreading to the rest of the team.  I feared the Pats, Seahawks, Texans.  I don’t fear the Rams after getting a pretty good look at the vs the Steerlers.  Goff is terrible this season. Their defense is legit but I see no reason to pick against a hotter Ravens team that doesn’t seem to suffer let downs.  Ravens 28-17

[OutsideRzAcE]

Btw max im stealing that meme

[tsylvester]

Ok, yall have given me hope (false?)

 

Ravens in another slobber knocker, 44-17.

What do you think Jason?....

Ravens (-3.5) at Rams

The Ravens are good for about 40 points a week. The Rams don't have the speed on defense to deal with Lamar Jackson and the Ravens secondary will swarm this depleted Rams passing game. Jared Goff is running into a buzzsaw here, and I guarantee you Marcus Peters has a big game. Baltimore isn't letting up on anyone these days in general and is blowing teams out by halftime. I see more of the same here............https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/week-12-nfl-best-bets-ravens-buzzsaw-roughs-up-rams-and-more-of-jason-la-canforas-picks/

[papasmurfbell]

I think the 3.5 fav is about right.  Long winning streak a trip out west.

[Spen]

I too think they will drop a game along the way, and this should be it, but I don't think it will. 

27 - 15 Ravens

[Ravenmaniac2]

I think the Ravens will roll. Just a gut feeling. I do not think this game will.be as close as many believe. 

[cravnravn]

Ravens in a close one. 31-6 

Rams D will not stop us. We will control the game in the second half with a couple of 8 minute drives.

[Spen]

It's early for the stunned crowd look......yet there it is

[papasmurfbell]

This first half I so impressive.

[oldno82]

What can I say? Lamar is hot and so are the defense and Ingram.

No one right now could beat this team.

Enjoy today and ride this thing as long as it lasts!!!

Absolutely incredible 1st half.

I thought the Lambs defensive front 7 would put up a fight.

I have to say that I never, in my wildest dreams, thought that I would see something like this 2019 Ravens team. I couldn't dream it.\

Just WOW!

9 for 9. 3 TD's. 146.5 QB rating.

MVP!!!!!!!! Can you hear the Ravens fans chanting that? I bet Rams fans are too.

The Ravens bandwagon is loading up.

[papasmurfbell]

The worst part is this is Boomer is still part of ESPNs coverage.

[oldno82]

The play by play is pretty cruddy too.

[vmax]

Are you kidding me?!!!!

35-6.

Behind the wood shed.

[papasmurfbell]

Did anyone else lose the signal of the game for a moment in the first half?

I don't mind booger.  He is fine.

[papasmurfbell]

Finally harbs made the smart move.  If he had gotten Lamar hurt in trash time he should have been run out of town.  

 

Got to love weddles continued getting bulldozed by a rb.  

 

Peters I amazing.  I missed on him.  Great fit.
