Anyone else find it kinda funny that the premier QB matchup this weekend is against two former ACC foes? Of all the conferences...
ACC produces a lot of pro talent.

What’s really funny is what Shannon Sharpe said the other day.
He was like, the best QBs are black and the best RB is white..”what is going on here”!!
Lol

No, I get that, but it's crazy to me that with all the SEC, B1G, Big 12 love in college football, arguably the 2 players most important to their teams are ACC QB's.

Wilson is from NC State, too. Before his grad year at Wisconsin.

I think it's all likely just an interesting coincidence though rather than some truth about ACC football.

Phillip Rivers. Jameis Winston (not sure if that helps this point). But yeah, there's been some good ACC QB's.Wilson is from NC State, too. Before his grad year at Wisconsin.

Also, please please PLEASE have your tickets already in your apple wallet (or whatever the equivalent to the Samsung is).
If you try to get on the network (wifi or data) to access your tickets on the app you might be out of luck.
Very good point but my ticket times out if I don't use it quickly enough (Samsung). You have to time it right because trying to get on the network inside the stadium is impossible. This and purses is what creates that bottle neck at Gate A. I'm getting there early Sunday and I'm bringing my lanyard.

Don’t forget receiver. Cooper Kupp had some sick numbers (until he went untargeted last week somehow.

Tunsil, Gipson, Roby, and Fuller were all limited in practice this week and everyone practiced. I wonder if those plus bye week performances we always see have less to do with preparation and more to do with health, sometimes. Regardless, all those guys missed their last game and I'd expect to see them all on the field this week.
Without Tunsil, Hyde rolled up 160 yards on 19 carries, so that's going to be something to watch.

The Texans are definitely getting healthy at the right time off their bye (or wrong time, depending on your perspective). The secondary was really in shambles, and now it looks like they'll be almost fully healthy. That'll make a big difference for that defense. They were starting guys off the street before, and traded for Conley from Oakland (who's been terrible) out of desperation. The good new is I don't think their secondary is particularly good, even at full strength.
Tunsil back is obviously huge, and now they'll also have their rookie RT who had been playing decently.

The Ravens are in pretty good shape health wise to. Pierce being out is not good, but nice job gaining depth, with Peko and Ellis.
I think the Ravens are the better team, and they are playing at home. Can't wait for Sunday...Go Ravens.

Probably just being cautious, and maybe even a little bit of gamesmanship. (I hope!)

Well, the Browns did us a nice favor last night. Now we jut have to take care of business and lengthen the lead in the North even more.

Ordinarily, I would agree with that but you know what? With the three headed monster(tight ends) we've got developing on this team, I almost don't even think about the wide receivers anymore, other than their role in the blocking schemes. Doesn't seem like Lamar does either.

Disclaimer first: Hollywood may very well become the best and most exciting receiver in Ravens history; we've already seen flashes of that, and I'm sure there's more to come. When it does, I'll enjoy it along with everyone else.
Having said that, I questioned drafting him when we did because of exactly what you just pointed out. I felt like until Lamar became more experienced, this offense could and would thrive on its running game, the TEs, and Willie Snead out of the slot.
The vast improvement by Lamar already may yet make that thought dead wrong this season, but as of right now the WRs appear to be more of an after thought than a primary weapon.
Added: Just did a quick check with quick math, but I think what I calculated is that 117 of the team's 177 receptions (@66%) have been by TEs, RBs and Snead (19).
