Lamar isn't hurt, right? Know the ankle was a little gimpy.


Seeing that celebration for OBJ's TD, he looked fine. He's probably a little gimpy after that one hit but nothing overly concerning. Plus, given the game situation, it was a perfect time to get him out. Shades of 2019.

How can this team struggle against Arizona, but beat the brakes off of Detroit and Seattle?

Love seeing Mitchell break out. Great story. And he looks like he just might be the RB we were looking for after Dobbins went out.

Also, now maybe Beckham can stop throwing temper tantrums.

Its a week to week league. Harbaugh has to keep them prepared and hungry because now all the love will really be headed their way. Already starting with Romo blowing them so hard.

A lot of backups in now. Basically as many as you can.

Kind of deserved this week. Overall, team looks great this week. Defense has been phenomenal all season. And they've completed dominated two of the better offenses in the NFC.

I thought the first half was good. The second half was damn near flawless.

Keaton Mitchell is a big key to the offense moving forward. The biggest weakness of the offense is the deap ball. We don't throw deep as often as we should.

It's nice to have something to complain about when you're offense keeps scoring over 30 pts. every week.

We had no reason to throw it deep today. Lamar has been pretty good on deep throws this year even though he's thrown fewer of them.

This game feels like the perfect response to Arizona's game plan last week, reminding teams that you can't in fact run quarters with 8 in coverage against Lamar.

I honestly saw a few instances where I would have thrown it in the endzone but you can’t argue with the results. The crew I watched the game with all agreed that Huntley throws that timing pattern to OBJ better than Lamar would have.

Like I said looking for imperfections when your offense keeps scoring over 30 is a good place to be.

The defense is going to give them a chance against anyone.

I was pretty critical of Macdonald last year. Since Roquan came in, I have no complaints. Macdonald has probably coached himself into a head coaching position after this season. He's rarely made the wrong call this season. And his mixture of coverages have confused every QB. Even Romo was caught off guard by the blitzes and coverages, which is unusual, he's usually dead on in the broadcast booth.

Stone actually playing SAFETY is a nice change of pace. And by that I mean staying deep, reading and reacting, and catching some of the overthrows. That's what a SAFETY should be in my mind. Both of them...

So many empty seats.

It was loud and full upstairs 

There are empty seats in just about every stadium

DeCosta and company gives the staff a pretty loaded (overall) roster year in year out. Health and how the pieces are used is the deciding factor...

I think it is fair to say the Ravens are in the conversation as the best team in the NFL.  I think it is also fair to say they were in that position last year when they were the # 1 seed in the AFC in November, same with 2021 when they were the #1 seed in the AFC in November, and actually the same way in 2020 when they were at least among the top teams into November.  

 

It's not about where you are now, it's about how you are playing in late December and January.   It's time to stop fading and start finishing.  Obviously the biggest way to do that is for Lamar Jackson to stay healthy.

Mitchell is obviously the speed back we need to replace Dobbins. If he can stay healthy he gives us that dynamic we need to truly have an explosive run game. I would take him off of special teams immediately.

This offense is very dangerous as is.  If Mitchell can provide the home run threat, then it borders on unstoppable.  

 

Again, I readily admit to be a homer, but I can see the pieces coming together.  Sure if LJ or other key pieces go down then the end will not be pretty, but that is life in the NFL, not the team, not finishing.
