on to Detroit

[tsylvester]

I originally had this as an easy win, but then, I had KC as an easy loss. Add to that all of the injuries, the two hard fought, prime time games and the euphoria from beating the Cheifs in that manner and needless to say, I'm a bit concerned.

Goff is a quarterback who can make every throw, not with the zip of some of the top qbs but still.

His biggest draw back is being fooled by coverage and not having a clean pocket. Hit him often, disguise covages well with multiple looks and a defense will feast.

Their defense as you will see tonight can be run on, can be taken advantage of. They give up more yards per play than any other team, why? To prevent the big play, make a team dink & dunk down the field hoping you make the mistake before they do, but they don't have the discipline to stay focussed.

So they only real question is; do the Ravens live in the past glory of beating KC, having two prime time games already, or do they use that confidence to build?

I would hope the ravens dont falll for a trap game.  They  still have plenty to prove and need this as a get  healthy game.

Glad you put this up. I'm flying out to San Diego tomorrow morning and won't be back until 10/1 or 3. So everybody please take the initiative to keep the game threads and board going...not that I do a great job at that........and ....i know. It's hard. 

Now I'll do my best to check in everyday because I love "My Ravens." I am a fanatic.

Early projection has Ravens as 68.9% win percentage.

One thing, one play gives me a little hope. Not sure if you noticed, but Ellis ran down Kelce on that touchdown catch & run. Sure, he tackled him in the endzone, but he ran some 35 yards; that is effort. The kind of effort that sparks other teammates, they will notice and copy it.. I am sure they will point it out on game film, the meeting room will be filled with shouts; a 300+ pound man runnimg down a fast tightend that far.

Maybe that was the spark the defensive line needs?

Enjoy the time, stop at Not Not Tacco, Sam the cooking guy's place. He is a cool dude on youtube, a self described Canadian Jew living in San Diego.

I saw that during the play! This huge guy rumbling along. Tracking down Kelce. It was Ellis. That's a 60 minute Raven.

Stay far away, this could be a 30 pt shutout, or a Lions' victory

Yep!  That’s how I see it too.

Broncos waived McCrary.

The Ravens should sign him to PS and let Bell go. That would save them a lot of money if they activated Bell.

Did you see where Ozzie told Wink that he should check out Odefe? Said, "He's a Raven." Ozzie knows.

Just a theory...Lamar missed practice due to illness. He gets sick every year. Maybe he's immune compromised and that's why he didn't want to take the vaccine or want people to know. Just a wild ass guess on my part.

I agree with you on the McCrary move. Sign him now and let Bell go.

EDC after hearing Papa approves

[papasmurfbell]

So you want bell?

Here we go again, covid ready and waiting... The Raven way, no vaccine, no mask all go out & party like it's 1999........

Chances of contacting virus if vaccinated, masked and practing proper edicate?

Exceptionally, extremely, incredulously low...

In other words, a majority of the defensive line; party at Houston's house!

 

Lions may get the upset afterall

[papasmurfbell]

There is still more than enough talent on the team to put the lions down easy.  Just dont go through the motions.

Wonder how many fans came down with it Sunday night..didnt see a mask in the crowd..

 

BTW line moved down to 7. I'm on the Ravens in this one, we will still score 30+ points. Detroit won't put 30 on us.

[papasmurfbell]

I have the ravens winning by 2 scores.
