Lions at Ravens

[tsylvester]

Ugh, another night game, this time on Monday night. Yes, get off my lawn, I'm too old for this! Actually, I don't mind the neighborhood kids tossing a ball into my yard, I enjoy tossing it back to them and showing them how to properly throw a ball...but I digress

The Lions had a bounce back week, the destruction of the Bears. The Ravens, after a heart breaking loss in week one that was a total team collapse, they had a complete team victory that saw every side of the ball score,: bout time eh?

Which defense shows up this week is anyone's guess, were they that good against the Browns because the Browns are that bad on offense?

What about this vaunted Ravens rushing attack that put up over 200 yards on the ground week one, but could barely muster 45 on the ground in week 2: was the Browns defense that good or did the Ravens just underestimate them?

In 2023 when the Ravens met the Lions, it was a simple beat down for Baltimore, winning 38-6. Yes, the high flying Lion offense was shot down by the stingy Ravens defense.

Will that happen again? Will this game be more reminiscent of the week one game with the Bills where the last team with the ball wins in a high scoring affair?

Who knows at this point, do you? Who ya got?

I was listening to so something, I can't recall, but the Browns D has Henry's number since his time with the Titans.  I'm not surprised by this.  Really frustrating, but plenty of time to get it right.

They have, Swartz that is, has always had a philosophy on stopping great running games, great backs. He run blitzes almost every down and if it is a pass, so beit, keep crashing the pocket.

He plays his linebackers a skewed so that the guards cant naturally get to the, making getting to the back before he gets a head of steam, much easier.

I don’t call last week a complete victory.  Cle has jack for offense.  Keep bringing the heat and that side starts to collapse dragging the. d with it.
