Next Up : Jacksonville

[jazz1988]

guys..

 

i just don't see how with this secondary we are going to win. ( not vs JAx but against good QBS)

 

its just so bad. Webb being a scrub really destroys us. Our secondary is basically WILL Hill and scrubs.

 

How on earth can a team with this secondary achieve anything? its just not possible.

 

I know The Patriots  have Tom Brady but in 2011 their secondary was terrible and they still went to the playoffs,

[AsianRice]

Could be a trap game yes.

 

I think the Ravens team of the past some years would absolutely fall into that.

 

Not this year's team though.

 

People thought Tampa would be a trap game since it was a road game.

People thought Atlanta would be a trap game since Matt Ryan and Flacco are statistical near-equals.

People thought the Titans would be a trap game because of our past rivalry difficulties with them - when they used to be good.

 

Think about this fact:

 

This season? We haven't lost to a bad team. Our only losses have been to division rivals and two very good non-division foes - and neither were blowouts. Rivers was a last second, and the only reason we lost to the Colts was an off day for Flacco and the offense, where our defense kept us in position to catch up.

 

Our hated foes the Steelers? They've won against all the good teams, but they'll be facing a really impressive(ly bad) Falcons team that is putting up points despite being a losing team. The Steelers have lost to the Buccs, the Jets, and the Saints on top of the Ravens and Browns one a piece. Think about that.

 

The team that doesn't take care of the easy business is likely not going to win out. The Falcons will put points on the board, and unless Big Ben breaks out like he did against the Colts - this time in a hostile Atlana dome - the Falcons will squash divisional hopes for the Terrible Towels.

 

The Ravens have had heartbreaking losses this year. Frustrating losses. In the case of offensive pass interference - infuriating losses. But we have not lost a game that was a gimme.

 

Jacksonville is a gimme.

 

Ravens need to stay focused, play them as if they're playing their hated rivals, and take the free win as a result. Seize the win, and if the Bungles and Steelers lose? We're kings of the north for a week at least!

Well said......

 

 

We have to come out and treat every team like our divisional rivalries........

 

We will prevail.....

I just hope these scrubs step it up and surprise people by actually playing decent like Justin Forsett, who you also called a scrub when we signed him.

He calls everyone a scrub, and now he's on a hot streak because it looks like he got one of them right.

[Sami84]

beanfigger has a good memory, let's leave it at that lol

Hope Bortles holds onto the ball because I love seeing our pass rush

[1/28/01]

Nah, let's not leave it at that - http://boards.baltimoreravens.com/topic/58060-ravens-sign-rb-justin-forsett/

Honestly, hes a scrub.

Pretty easy to find. See, even you cant keep track of your negative ways.

You were wrong about being wrong about him too though. How are we supposed to believe what you're saying now?

Well he wasn't heathy last week and still proved to be a great signing....... So

[beanfigger]

I just hope he has a little extra motivation this week against the team who last cut him.

This and every game for the rest of the season is a PLAYOFF GAME. Enough said.

 

GO Ravens!

[ravensnick]

It's inevitiable that Manziel will start.  Not that i care to see Hoyer supplanted, but if he is, I hope they do it this week so that there IS some tape when/if we see him.  

 

For now they just need to focus on Jacksonville.  Not the hardest match up, but a trap game in the making if they not taken seriously.  And while its not Harb's style, I hope they run up the score on this one.

Manziel confirmed to start

[PurpleCityLights]

Trap game.

[stampedehero]

No time to come out flat in this game or any of them... they're all AFC and one AFCN from here on out. This is for the post-season!

Agree.  We play to acquire the game and that should be the sole focus.

[stampedehero]

I hope Cincy softens him up for us.  Its good he is starting so we can observe his tendencies before he sets his tiny little feet on  our turf

[gabefergy]

On paper, we should destroy the Jags. They have a decent pass defense and pass-rush, but our OL is one of the best in the league. Plus they can't stop the run.

Their offense is a complete train wreck. Blake Bortles is having a horrific rookie season and their OL has allowed 54 sacks. Suggs, Doom, and Pernell must be licking their chops. It could be a massacre.

I say we win 38-6

[omar586]

i hope the ravens aren't overlooking the Jags, these 3 games are gonna be tough and very close than people think, and i dont think we will blow out any of the teams coming up, they will  be a very ugly close wins for the ravens.

Nahhh, we will beat the jags by a good margin. It's Houston that scares me alittle.

dont forget the ravens always play down to the level of their competitions. 

[Juviebest]

Shoelace has a mid foot sprain according to Rotoworld, status for Sunday is "up in the air".

 

Gerhart without snow does not scare me at all. Even though he is better in pass protection than Shoelace.

[Drew P]

Looks like Dennard Robinson is OFTS..Gerhard is next man up?

[Florida Ravens Fan]

Not this year, we've pretty much handled all the bad teams this year.
