Ravens pretty well handed SEA their asses...

As long as Jackson stays upright they are a very dangerous team... and it seems like he's going to stay upright.

That said... I thought this was a tough match up for SEA. I think we match up better.... even with our starting CBs sidelined, but I'd prefer to face them the 2nd time around with our starters back.

Sorry Tour. the shoe got put on the other foot- Seattle beat themselves with gift turnovers....  In all sincerity, the Ravens defense is no better than ours. 

I'm convinced what we're seeing is the college game is more and more translating to the pros. 

Sam Rutigliano said- there are no old running quarterbacks in the NFL. We'll see if that's still true. Jackson pulled some escape acts that probably would have gotten any other QB in the NFL sacked for a loss that he turned into huge gains.

Edit:  Baltimore just scored a TD and I hate them. ?

Edited again: Seattle player just dropped the football and instead of going out of bounds, it tight-roped the sideline and the Ravens scooped it for a score. He didn't even get hit! The ball just squirted out! I hate u.

Should be interesting to see if they limit Darnold to one TD like they have everyone else.

As I posted in another thread- and you should know since you have them as your Fantasy D, the Patriots defense is tops in the NFL. 

However, heard on the radio our old pal Josh Gordon is out on Monday night, bum ankle. May he heal slow, so he doesn't play against the Browns. Would only give us Edelman to worry about. Of course the refs expect the opposition to ask Brady nicely if they can tackle him.

My take  Russell Wilson > Lamar Jackson.  Seattle at home- big advantage. 

 I won't shed any tears for the Patriots. Just possible the schedule makers are equal opportunity screwers. Two weeks in a row, they get the The Browns and the Ravens coming off byes. And the Browns catch them on a short week.   The Pats are playing the Jets on MNF.

Baltimore has a similar problem going into Seattle.  Defensive issues.

Fuck them.  They really are not very good.  Next two weeks they play Seahawks and Pats.   The super easy part of their schedule...which is the only reason they have the  division lead,  is over.

Have they played the entire season?  WTF is up with that?  It was supposed to be a strength of this team.

Did you notice our two best cornerbacks haven't played the last couple of weeks?

Our defense sucks.  We can't tackle worth a shit.  Or cover for that matter.

Up 20-6 Baker to OBJ missed on the out route. Would’ve been first down. Next play? Blocked punt.

Imagine if they continued that drive, chewed clock and got some points.

Agree, up 28-25 in the fourth, NEED a stop and the defense can’t get one. 

A good running game slices through our “vaunted” Dline like a hot knife through butter.

Injuries to Greedy W & Denzel Ward to name a few are very frustrating. We replace LB Kirksey with Willie Harris and now he’s on IR. 
The bye week couldn’t come sooner!

I also think we’ve played defense pretty ok considering 

I don’t like Kitchens & didn’t like the hire; Deja Vu all over again with questionable play calling, penalties and his negative post game pressers 

we finally assemble a competitive team and he seems clueless!!!

I dare him to sit Rishard Higgins in favor of Callaway in week 8 .Mr Callaway is a bust 

so Freddie you’d better get with the program 

simplify the offense for your 2nd year QB, get help on Oline & run Chubb whose the best RB we’ve drafted in years

memo to Kitchens: what hapoened to play action, and running the ball on 1st & goal

Go Browns

I expect them to win their next game after the bye week & I don’t care if TB 12 deflates, inflates, or sends out spies

We should be able to win if we play our game mistake free with no letting up on Tb12

Sack the old guy

I definitely hope he's OK. If he goes down, you might not WANT to watch anymore. I will say that he looked more like Baker Mayfield yesterday than almost all season. THAT'S a positive. With some luck, two of Baker's interceptions would have harmlessly hit the turf. Luck, however, isn't exactly in stock, and we'll have to find a way to win without it. 

Anybody else notice that Baker still can't/won't throw deep? I guess that Seals-Jones TD was sort of long, but other than that, Baker has no deep ball, and our offense as a whole doesn't have a deep presence. It's like...we don't even try it. (besides Hail Mary). Oh well, wrong topic for that anyway. Hopefully we're healthy and ready to go against the *gulp* Patriots. 

MHO is they're planning it that way Jiggins- because Freddy (and Baker) don't trust the o-line to give him enough time in the pocket to throw deep. If there was one silver lining to take away from that disaster, it was the o-line looked much improved. Baker wasn't sacked- at least according to the stats.  

@hoorta said:

That's as of today.They have 13 days to get healthy. If I had to guess, Baker got a hip pointer. And maybe we shouldn't be that hard on him for the last interception if he was hurting that badly.
