vmax Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 1pm Sunday at Cleveland. Ravens win probability 46.2%. So What!!! "You know, if you can take some of these things and look at them for what they are and say, ‘Oh, that’s interesting,’ in terms of do I perceive it in a bigger way, like the ball … Like the miracle in Detroit, what does that say? It’s incredible," Harbaugh said. "Oh, well we didn’t have the miracle against Pittsburgh. What does that mean?’ What does it mean? It means it didn’t happen. So, what’s next? … There’s an old story that [asks], ‘Who is going to go?’ ‘Send me, I’ll go.’ Don’t we all have to make that choice in life? Are you going to go? Or are you not going to go? Kind of ‘woe is me’ to your question, [but] I’m going to go. I know you guys all in your lives feel the same way; you’re going to go. "So, we’re going to go, man. We’re going to go. We can’t wait. We’ll be going to Cleveland, I promise you.” Team Stats Points Per Game 23.5 21.2 Points Allowed Per Game 21.7 22.3 Total Yards 407.3 372.0 Yards Passing 260.3 224.9 Yards Rushing 147.1 147.1 Yards Allowed 371.8 332.6 Pass Yards Allowed 287.5 227.3 Rush Yards Allowed 84.3 105.3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let the memories of the 8-3 record keep us as we watch December end 8-7 I'm not surrendering to that. Yea...it can certainly happen, yet I think there is still more in the tank and character for this team and organization. Again, yes it can happen. Especially since all football logic says no team can overcome this... Quote Baltimore Ravens (8-4) Health rating: 1 Players on IR: 22 Starts missed because of injury: 81 How badly has your team been hurt? Few teams are as banged up as the Ravens, but Baltimore has remarkably been able to overcome the widespread injuries. The Ravens lead the AFC North, which makes you wonder how good this team would be fully healthy. Baltimore isn't as explosive on offense without its top two running backs (J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards). The Ravens aren't protecting Lamar Jackson as effectively without Pro Bowl left tackle Ronnie Stanley. And the defense isn't producing many turnovers without All-Pro cornerback Marcus Peters. But the team has been able to survive by winning some close games. -- Jamison Hensley...Which NFL teams are healthiest for the homestretch?

vmax Posted December 8, 2021 Author Share Posted December 8, 2021 (edited) OK........ the Corners are Averett, Smith and Young. Stephens can be moved around in a pinch to help out. You have Clark, Stone and Levine for safeties. The Front 7 is in good shape to stop the run. Now...in the current situation it has to be now or never......they must get a ton of FAST HEAT on the QB to help these guys out. The Ravens season is down to that. The Offense will figure it out. They still have plenty of talent, even with the holes. Edited December 8, 2021 by vmax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmax Posted December 8, 2021 Author Share Posted December 8, 2021 And this has to change immediately for any chance to win Sunday....players were open all the time.... Quote But the main culprit in Pittsburgh appeared to be Jackson. According to a review of the Steelers’ sacks, he had at least one receiver open when he last set his feet to throw on most, if not all, of his doomed drop-backs. It’s impossible in some cases to tell where Jackson was in his progression or whether certain receivers in his line of sight were obscured. But time and again, he had opportunities to get rid of the ball, only to tuck it away and scramble into trouble. Pittsburgh was aggressive Sunday, but not overly so; none of the Steelers’ seven sacks came on “Cover 0″ coverages, which put defenses in blitz-heavy, man-to-man looks with no safety help.

I agree, they caught OSU at the right time, his qb made 3 important throws that he normally misses. Result, instead of costing them the game, it won it for them. Can they beat the Dawgs? I doubt it, but UGA, also has a qb who, when under pressure makes the key mistakes. In essence, this is Lamar right now, the defenee speeds him up and he makes the critical turnovers...
