[News] The Breakdown: Eisenberg's Five Thoughts vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

[BR News]

The Ravens are inventing ways to win, instead of ways to lose. The defense is simply better than last year. The numbers don’t accurately paint Joe Flacco's day.

I'm diggin the close wins. These wins will keep us in the playoff race while the team (hopefully) continues to improve along the way.

Three AFC teams are 3-0...and the Ravens are one of them! Who'd a thunk it?

So the Ravens go from being the "...worst 2-0 team ..." (per the NFL Network) to now being the "...worst 3-0 team..."?

I wouldn't even mind being the worst 4-0 team.

An ugly loss is better than a pretty win. Take it everyday of the week and twice on Sunday. Go Ravens.

Ugly win better than pretty loss.

Was gonna complain about some sloppy play, but I told myself "eat a snickers and be grateful for the win". Go Ravens.

[The Beak]

Rough day for the O-Line, that being said its still a great win.Can't wait for a healthy Dixon to get back, Forsett has two gears slow an slow as ish.

I could totally live with being the worst 23-0 team (Pre-Season, Regular Season, and Playoffs)

Good teams find a way to win. In the NFL it doesn't matter who you beat. It's crucial to get a winning record early and stay healthy. The O will get on point, and the D is solid. We play better as the underdog. And I don't care what anyone says, 2 wins on the road, back to back is a great start.

[Tower of Power]

Ravens 3 Wins; Steelers 1 loss; Bengals 2 losses; Browns 3 losses.

The signs of a championship team is showing Raven Nation..

[MichaelJ34]

The Ravens gotta get the offense clicking we start a stretch now that has us facing dangerous teams. Oakland is no joke they can score alot and redskins giants and Jets will be tough. With that said these games that we lost last year by 1 score or less this year finding ways to win every week is a gut check. Even though my heart cannot take this kinda treatment is great to be 3-0 and if we are the worst team to be 3-0 so be it. And if that trend continues for a while I'm happy with that.

I agree, "Numbers Don’t Accurately Paint Joe Flacco’s Day"
Watch the game recaps and analysts, they will focus on the Int's and QBR. I guess every QB goes through it, but, even last weeks numbers were not accurate. When Joe sees drops from his receivers, throws the ball at his Rb's feet to avoid sacks, they impact him in a negative way. I must say, watching him play this year, much less mistakes. Can't wait to play at home next week and see the offense take the next step. Hey, we are 2-0 on the road!

5 thoughts....

1. Good teams find ways to win

2. 3-0 is huge however we got here. That means that we could go 6-7 over the last 13 games and we will still have a good chance at the playoffs

3. Our defense is better but we still need to improve the pass rush

4. Where is the run game.... hope that Dixon changes our run game situation when he gets back

5. Lets open up the offensive playbook a little. Joe is not a rookie no more and Trestmen needs to trust him more then he has shown to this point. We have the speed to stretch the field but seem to hesitant to take the handcuffs off

[Asmodeus1971]

The O-line just isn't working. Oddly the problems are in the center and the right. Stanley has growing pains as far as the penalties but Zuttah and Wagner are getting manhandled too often. I think Yanda is even getting more credit than he deserves because he has had more than a few questionable plays that aren't his norm. Maybe we should try to run more to the left.

Forsett is running sideways way to much. Him and West both need to run more north to south, hit holes when they are there and otherwise make holes or take the yards that are there. Every time they go sideways that ends any forward progress, very few plays did they recover and then move the ball downfield.

These ugly wins just may sneak us into the post season, so I won't complain too much. I guess if we win ugly next week, at least it will be against a winning team.

[Bohica5]

What a Great game.......next week tha raiders...............................

[RRRRRavens]

It feels like we are still in pre-season with all the mistakes we are making. It's hard to believe we are the only undefeated team in our division.

Yeah, Oakland a good team but there defense is still suspect and while we are at home, l see for the first time since 2006 we will be 4-0. We will beat the Skins too and be 5-0.

Great win and Cam Cameron got fired today... just thought I'd add that. Great day

[dirtybird66]

i got one thought,deven hester hasn't been worth the extra roster spot,should of went to campanaro,returner/receiver.

[craymonham]

So many cry babies...smh. A wins a wins folks no need to be critical of your own team. We are still growing at the same time winning what more do you want?

I was thinking the same thing when we signed him, I wish we could've got devin mccluster I was upset the chargers gottem. I knew the titans wasn't gonna keep'em. I know mccluster was a free agent after but ozzie should've traded to snatch him up.

Seems like woodsons the glue that kept them together the last 2 years.

[Crusader]

Way to survive now get ready for the numerous one offense.

[ravenwildman]

These last minute 1 or 2 point victories are going to cause my health insurance rates to rise! Wow, call them ugly all you want....but a win's a win! Heck, the Ravens can win ugly the rest of the year and it's cool with me :) GO RAVENS 25 CB
