Two rookies on the left side.

Praying for you Flacco.

[Grapple Raven]

Urshel is activated today as well, might be seeing something from him today!

Well this is weird and confusing

Not too worried about Urschel. He's strong, smart, and athletic. He looked solid in preseason.

 

I just hope we lean on the run game

[Inqui]

Looks like we could be in for a low scorer. At least Gino isn't calling blitz protections. Exciting to see Campanaro given a shot too.

[ratedr]

Haven't seen Urschel start but honestly anyone is better than Gino.

Seriously. Hope he's got his running shoes on!

 

Still holding out hope we're pleasantly surprised by our OL play.

[ratedr]

Hot as Hades too. Hearing it feels like 95. Disadvantage for us, the Bucs are used to it.

[443hurricane]

So No ARTHUR BROWN again..

 

Give him a shot.. I just want to see what he's got.. Come on harbs

[robbie29]

This is feeling more and more like a trap game. Osemele and Monroe are out, leaving Hurst (who looked bad last week), and Gradkowski protecting Joe's left. Hurst is still proving himself, but Gradkowski- well we all kinda know what to expect with him.

Don't think any road game for this team can be called a trap game.

[Inqui]

Well isn't this thread just off to an optimistic start.

[Rav'n Maniac]

Man, really had my hopes up for this game. All their pressure is going to come on the left side. Sux!

[The Raven]

Well isn't this thread just off to an optimistic start.

 

Starting to feel like last season in here

[ravensdfan]

Have to be realistic too - rookies on the left - not exactly confidence inspiring. Especially when one of them got exposed last week.

 

Still think we can win this thing but preparing for adversity.

[Dr. Kelley]

Well isn't this thread just off to an optimistic start.

This team has given few reasons to be optimistic about this game.

the majority of our OL is out

We play poorly on the road these days

Our defense doesn't play until the other team is in our red zone, almost guaranteeing the other team three points at least every possession while our offense can't stay on the field

And the bucs have been putting up quite a fight the last two weeks.

Gotta be realistic. You bet Lovie looked at Pagano's blitzkrieg and got excited. Tampa is also not as bad as people think, folks are letting that Falcons beat down cloud things. They've been in every other game.

Perfect summary.

I had this as a W before the season but I'm not particularly confident right now.

[cursona pirate]

Tampa has a good defense. Gonna need quick passes.

[Dr. Kelley]

Starting to feel like last season in here

Well this season is looking a lot like last season. The only real change is that we have fixed the running game, but with all of our o line starters out, our offense is underprefoming just as much as last year

[PolishRifle]

Lets dOOOOoooOOOOooooOOOOOoooooOOOOOOOO THIS!!!!!!

[Grapple Raven]

Put your fears aside, and think positive Ravens fans!  Let's go Ravens!!!  I believe you can do it!  Just go out there and play your kind of ball, focus and play your game!

[Cillmatic]

I can see our offense being the reason we lose here. We need to play balanced and start fast if we wanna win this. I got a feeling our defense will perform well.

It actually did get off to an optimistic start, we got the pool pic in

[ellicottraven]

No K.O, therefore Gino and James manning the blindside of Flacco? And this isn't a recipe for disaster? I am praying for a miracle win today!

[JO_75]

I'm just worried about our secondary. With both Jackson and Evans playing, this could turn into a shootout considering Glennon has shown to be a decent starter. 

[Dr. Kelley]

Our offense will sputter due to the o line issues, but the defense will do their job to screw things up too. They wont get off the field on tgird downs, letting the bucs control the clock, and will let them march down the field every possession guaranteeing at least three on the board every time.

Then the offense will do a three and out and put them back on the field.

Offense and defense wont be doing each other any favors, then everyone on here will start arguing whose fault it is again, like they both can't be at fault

[A Fish Called Yanda]

Literally just walked in the door.

 

Perfect timing.

 

Lets go Ravens!  Time to stomp Lovie and his band of merry Buccaneers.

[Zeus]

Who's ready for another stressful sunday game?

[Inqui]

True, but all the doom and gloom before Gino/Urschel have the chance to prove themselves has a very "Ravens Talk after a loss" feel to it.

If it makes anyone feel better I'm having an inconsistent internet connection, and based on history if I miss most of the game for any reason we're going to win comfortably.
