Well to be fair, when you have a big-armed gunslinger like (checks notes) Tyler Huntley, you…..
What's Jim Caldwell up to?
Simply outrageous. Handing the ball to Jk and Gus and continuing to play stout defense was an easy formula for the win. Dominant run game. Hot defense. Backup QB. Cold and breezy weather. Scrub wrs. Poor run defense. Struggling opposing qb. Everything screams pound the football until it’s stopped.
They'll get in the playoffs and lose 17-6 to freaking Jacksonville. Both Dobbins and Edwards will average 11 YPC on a combined 14 carries in every game they play until they retire as long as Greg Roman is in Baltimore.
Lol, someone is not enjoying the return to old school Ravens football
Baltimore has beaten one team with a winning record (Cincy, who is going to destroy them in WK 18). They will probably lose to the Steelers this week because Roman will have Huntley throw 52 times and he'll end up with 94 yards passing
I wasn't as clear as I should have been. They absolutely have to play old school Ravens football to win. My problem is having Huntley throw the ball 45 times instead of running the ball more. Their running game is very good and their passing game isn't.
I doubt many will read this but I hope they discover it, incredible find.
How has Jackson lost? The media will say he should get $200+M guaranteed
I would absolutely go with the Ravens D. They’ve given up 10 points per game in the 6 games Roquan and Kyle Hamilton have been in the lineup together. I truly expect a 13-12 final and wouldn’t be surprised if the game’s only TD is scored by one of the two defenses
We did and even if it doesn't work, was surprised they were released this week, the opponent picked up the Chiefs, we were holding the Jags so we took the team that was cut/released by the opponent. See how it works out
This is all despite including the two massive weeks earlier this year? Woof.
He’s transformed the defense. Still only 25, I love it. And it sends an important message. The Ravens have always paid top of the market to retain their own cornerstone guys - Tucker, Andrews, Stanley, Humphrey and now Roquan on this team, but dating back to JO, Ray, Reed, Suggs, Ngata, Flacco (post Super Bowl) etc. This signing sends the message that the Ravens still open the vault to keep their cornerstone players, that they’ve offered Lamar a fair, market-setting deal, and if he won’t sign, it’s about him and not about them.

I don't know if you guys have access to The Athletic, but they have an oral history on the Mile High Miracle 10 years ago today. Players from both teams recounted that game. Harbaugh is also quoted.
The funniest part, and one I don't think I'd ever heard before, was that it was like 12 degrees and Marshall Yanda kept pouring water on himself (there's a photo in the article) so he'd be layered in ice, making it harder for the defenders to grip him. Denver was telling the refs he was using a substance and the ref said "it's ice"

Lol, that's the same tidbit I retweeted. That pic shows literal icicles in his beard. I hope he gets in the Hall of Fame - I know it's tough for Guards but maybe leading the O Line that demolished the NFL's all-time rushing yardage record will get him over the bar. The other tidbit I loved - and one that the replay bears out - is that Jacoby actually slowed down along the sideline, trying to sit down between the CB underneath and the Safety over the top. Flacco said screw that and threw it long, and Jacoby was fast enough to gear back up and go get it, but it was that moment of slowing down that Jacoby thinks caused Rahim Moore to mess up the play. When Jacoby started up again to chase down the throw, Moore's angle was messed up.
I have to think they have a deal in place with a vet CB. Also, one of those 4th-rounders from last year need to do something. Both were graded as good picks when taken. The kid they took from Stanford yesterday is supposed to be pretty good.
Sounds like he's basically going to red shirt this season.
This aged well. Sheesh, Dobbins is snakebit. They're still ok with Edwards & Hill, but Dobbins is their most dynamic RB.
Yeah--20 minute walk about right. And you are so close to Lexington Market and Faidleys, would be worth the experience to get a crab cake there--just go during the day
--Babe Ruth museum and Edgar Allen Poe gravesite is near there --honestly, there's way better eats to the east in Little Italy, Harbor East, Canton and Fells Point. But at least the latter 2 would be quite a walk ---Agree 100 %. I was in college when the Colts left town.
I was in my early 20s when the Colts snuck out of Baltimore and was crushed when it happened. Looking back, that was a silly way to feel but I wasn't alone - some folks STILL haven't gotten over it. The Baltimore Colts Marching Band is still a going concern, for crying out loud. Making matters worse was that the team 40 minutes down the road was really good and you had to listen to their smug fans rub your face in it (where I grew up, you were either Colts or Skins - never both).
When do you arrive? I assume you're flying in?
I forgot you were in NYC and not Michigan.
Despite the 2 brutally frustrating losses it’s been a really really fun season. The offense actually schemes guys open and the defense is elite. One of the talk shows this morning said they’ve only allowed 9 tds all year on defense and I know 3 of those (Detroit, Arizona, Cincy) were in garbage time or pretty close to garbage time. And I believe the 2 tds vs the Colts came after turnovers. Dominant unit so far.Nice win yesterday against a good Seattle team. Similar to the Detroit win, it was one of those snowball games. The score could/should have been worse - there were 2 lost fumbles down close and they took a knee on the Sea 5 yard line at the end. The only other mistake I can recall is Kyle Hamilton's missed INT, but he did pushups afterwards in penance
Mitchell obviously opened some eyes and will be a waiver darling this week in FF leagues. I'd be wary, though. IF I had to roster a Ravens RB, it would still be Edwards. Honestly, in standard leagues (IDP leagues are another story), the only Ravens I'd roster would be Jackson, Andrews, the defense, and Tucker.....with Edwards a distance 5th.
The schedule going forward is brutal for Baltimore. I believe the Rams & Chargers are the only teams they have left that doesn't have a winning record this morning. The next two are division games (Cle & Cincy at home) then @LAC, BYE, LAR, @Jax, @SF, Miami, Pittsburgh.
