The Good, The Bad and the Awful against the Jags

[AsianRice]

Whatever it is; I will enjoy 3-0 and worry about the Raiders in few more days after watching the Jag Wired this week!!

I bet Wizard1 is that Cleveland hobo that told Haslam to draft Manziel over Bridgewater. I will thank you for that.

Talk about splitting hairs-I guess it's all a matter of interpretation. I know it's possible to get a thrill out of watching 2 bad teams run and pass all over each other. Honestly though that's not my kind of exciting football..

Do you know that you can reference who your responding to by 'quoting'...so much easier to have a discussion

If one has money in his pocket does that disqualify him from being a hobo?

just trying to make it easier for people to follow conversations.  You remind me of Winchester and how he could never form separate paragraphs.  Nevermind man, carry on

Hester has 32 combined fumbles over his 10 yr career on KR & PR. Obviously it's not uncommon for him to put a few on the deck.

22 punt fumbles and 14 of those came in his first 3 years in the league and 4 in 2011. So he had 4 in his other 6 years in the league and it doesn't show how many of the total were lost. Seems he had issues early on.

Don't say that name or he'll show up talking about Flacco needing to cut 15 pounds of lower body fat, adding 10 pounds of arm and neck muscle, then trading him and the first round pick for 26 Future Round Two picks.

Will this be another WIN UGLY season or will the Ravens pull it together.... Love the Ravens but they do make it tough

LOL, out of like the 6 bad predictions you made that I easily expressed, you now are writing them off as "just splitting hairs"?

Wow. Even more delusional than I remember.

Next time I make a prediction, it'll be like doing a political poll... I'll say the Ravens will put up 20 points, but I get a margin of error of being right of + or - 20 points in either direction. So I'll give myself a 100% margin of error, yet as long as I'm in that range, I can just write it off as "splitting hairs".

I shall forever call it a "Wizard prediction".

I actually laughed out loud at this.  Wonder what happened to him.

After yesterdays performance I think Joe could stand to lose a few lbs of blubber above the neck area.

According to ESPN, they have us ranked at #8 for defense, its a good read

http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/page/barnwellx160926/the-best-teams-far-best-defenses-let-rank-top-defenses-overall-2016-nfl

"Baltimore is back. Nobody will argue that they've played threatening competition, given that the Ravens have faced the Bills, Browns and Jaguars in three weeks, but the Ravens have allowed just 44 points total. Their run defense has generally been excellent; they did allow one 85-yard touchdown run to Isaiah Crowell (not good), but the Ravens have held the other 67 rushing attempts they've faced to a total of 173 yards, or less than 2.6 yards per carry (actually great).

The new Ravens are built less around a pair of dominant edge rushers and more around the interior of their defense, where they're strong up the middle. Nose tackle Brandon Williams has to be one of the most underrated players in football, while the breakout season that seemed to be in the cards for Timmy Jernigan in 2015 has begun to unspool this year. Jernigan has three sacks and six hits through three games. C.J. Mosley continues to show off his range as one of the best cover linebackers in the league, while Eric Weddle has solidified things for the Ravens in the backfield since coming over from San Diego.

Weddle is directing traffic, but this is a disciplined, well-coached defense all around. The Ravens don't have a great secondary, but they're often in the right place and have been allowing a league-low 3.46 yards after catch per reception. When the defense gets a hand on running backs, the play stops; Baltimore is allowing 0.99 yards after contact on the ground, the lowest rate in the NFL. They have the second-fewest defensive penalties in the league (four) through three games.

To be fair, their turnover numbers are a little inflated. The Ravens have five picks over three games, but two of them were desperation throws on the final drives of their last two contests. On the other hand, they've also forced three fumbles on defense and failed to recover any of them, which is unlikely to recur. They're still a little rough around the edges, and you would worry about their cornerbacks against top-level receivers, as Dean Pees chose to shadow Allen Robinson with Shareece Wright on Sunday and saw his No. 2 corner walked around the field as a result. With the Raiders, Washington, Giants, Jets and Steelers in store for Wright & Co. over the next five weeks, we're about to see if they can match up against all kinds of quality wideouts."

lol Like we are seriously going to keep putting Wright on people's top receivers. Interesting he doesn't really comment about Smith

3-0 is all I care about.  What if we allowed the bills to control the game?  What if McCown gets that td and what if Jags get to fg territory?  Don't know own or care be used that DIDN'T happen.  Like I've said, seen the other possibilities last year and I'll take this while the offense seems to be finding it's way.  If I had to judge, this season is like 2013 so far, but we're closing out and winning.

I don't disagree, other than about the 2013 thing. While there's a couple of similarities(sucky center and zero run game), this squad is way more talented and has much more potential.

I believe he's currently posting on our forums under another name. I've caught 2-3 of the personas so far and starting to think I may know one more. They're seasonal personas. They come out around the same time every year.

In the 13 case I meant score wise.  The offense isn't going thru the same droughts, but same type of late game situations where the defense is actually holding up throughout.  I still think this passing game is going to see major improvements between now and the end of the season.  Hope the running game follows.

So you agree with a poster who thinks the Ravens are not really good at anything. Really? I can think of one thing.

Winning. They're 3-0 fellas.

Jax fans are SO mad right now, especially at Steve Smith. Apparently he's not a Hall of Fame caliber WR lol

The D is in a much better place as well, in particular CJ and Weddle.

Jalen Ramsey is taking a big L these past couple days for both the content and delivery of his post-game comments LOL
