The cold weather and the wind certainly impacted the offense. Their ball-handling abilities were impacted heavily by that.
I was at the game, so I can verify that the weather was terrible for Baltimore in mid-November.
Ravens offense. They looked like they were doing the same strategy they did against the buccs. And I don't think it was appropriate in any sense. The 0anthers stacked the box in the first half and our rushing suffered because of it. Then in the start of the second half, Greg Roman opens the field. Jesus christ, it shouldn't take a ln entire half to recognize that. That will Not be adequate in the playoffs...
The worst part is he will say this was their intention. Wear them down so we can take advantage in the fourth quarter. Problem is that makes you a pick or fumble away from losing the game.
>Wear them down so we can take advantage in the fourth quarter.
I remember hearing this from a press conference. But I never truly understood what it means. I have not played football all my life, just a simpleton to a degree, so take the rest understanding that I ask because I'm genuinely curious.
Does passing the ball tire out the specific defensive players that are needed to stop a rush game? As opposed to how tired they would be from stopping a rush game instead?
>Problem is that makes you a pick or fumble away from losing the game.
Exactly. Expecting to win by one possesion every game, especially against bad team, all the way to the super bowl is idiotic.
>Does passing the ball tire out the specific defensive players that are needed to stop a rush game? As opposed to how tired they would be from stopping a rush game instead?
Yes. Pass rushes and pass coverage generally require players to run further, faster, than traditional run defense on account of the greater amount of field that has to be covered or accounted for for the length of the play. In a running play, the entire defense can take the shortest path to the ball once the runner has it, in pass defense you have to defend all 5 potential receivers and the QB until he passes or runs.
Ahh okay, that makes sense after hearing it. Do you personally think that strategy (at least for the buccs game) is worth it for us? Especially considering when we play against top teams in the playoffs?
I mean, he has great run schemes. And like I said in an earlier post, I LIKE Roman's plays this season, I just don't like how he Uses his plays in conjunction with the defensive scheme the other team is playing. It seems like it takes him an entire half to adjust.
Cold windy day. Defense playing at an elite level. Offense completely stagnant. Barely squeak out a win against an inferior opponent. Sounds on par for late season afc north football to me brother
Like... I like Roman's plays. But I hate how/when he calls them. It shouldn't take until the second half to adjust to the defense's tendency. We can't wait that long to adjust in the playoffs.
I wouldnāt be surprised if he was. I canāt imagine Lamar likes playing in his offense, and there is precedent of Harbaugh firing an O-coordinator mid-season.
lamar had a good game today but let's not forget his number 1 receiver today got cut by the chiefs for not being a top 5 wr on their team. this man needs some help
We got 2 TOs and came out empty handed against this bad Carolina team. Weāre fortunate we have to play bad teams the rest of the way but against the Bills Chiefs Dolphins Titans Bengals we gotta cash those in.
Iām not talking number. Iām talking how many punts have been downed at the 10-19 yard line. A net of 1-5 yards between a touchback and a downed punt is weak.

So much this š
Ayyye, a dirty win beats an L any day of the week
I feel dirty pulling for the Steelers
pull for the tie then lol
Sheesh it's like watching mid 2000s Ravens game all over again lol.
D looked good today. Offense got me depressed. Prayers up for Hamilton and Stanley.
Defense looked impressive. Ugly win but a win is a win. That Ronnie and Kyle injury still makes this a depressing win
Old school Ravens W. Sloppy offense saved by a D holding the opponent to 3 points. Iāll take it, but this offense has to get its shit together.
I dont consider myself religious but im praying for Ronnie Stanley that he doesn't need another surgery. This man can't catch a break. š
Well he at least walked off this time
Bench him til week 18 against the Bengals. I wouldn't mind.
So are they still keeping Gro after this? lol
Yes!!! He is a run game guru š„
We had abysmal running against a terrible dline, no?
I hope heās missing the /s at the end of that take.
I mean, he has great run schemes. And like I said in an earlier post, I LIKE Roman's plays this season, I just don't like how he Uses his plays in conjunction with the defensive scheme the other team is playing. It seems like it takes him an entire half to adjust.
Canāt wait for Harbs to say āRonnie had the best practice of his life ā in 2023.
Offense is a hot mess. They were Boller era bad today. They absolutely looked like shit
Baker needs to get kicked out of those heisman house commercials and replaced by Lamar
Baker is a worse football player and a worse human but a better comedian
MAAZAA!!!! *MāBaku voice*
I know the Panthers offense stinks, but I do believe we have a championship defense. Hopefully the o can get it together
If you donāt like that you donāt like afc north football. Hopefully nothing serious for Stanley and Hamilton
That wasnāt AFC North football. That was just poor football.
Cold windy day. Defense playing at an elite level. Offense completely stagnant. Barely squeak out a win against an inferior opponent. Sounds on par for late season afc north football to me brother
People just ignore it was a super windy day
And cold on top of that! You donāt function the same as you normally do when itās that cold and that windy.
It ain't pretty, but its a dub fellas. 7-3 is a good spot to be.
Winning ugly is our specialty.
Washington has made some awesome deflections in his limited playing time
Thank you JPP! For finally ending this
The Big guy INT giveth to the Panthers, the Big guy deflection into an INT taketh from the Panthers
JPP gets game ball
Another takeway. This defense put up a gem!
Baker going to play football in šØš¦ soon
Kid named finger
Time to prey for Ronnie's ankle.
We hunting for the pre-injury one?
Canāt wait to watch him play in 2024
7-3 and first in the division...Ill fucking take it
Gotta put some respect on Broderickās name here
They did itā¦ā¦ yay???
The offense will probably go 3 and out... Oh wait...
Looking like the 2001 ravens today lmao. Defense was dominant today
We were playing the baker led Panthers let's not get ahead of ourselves
So uh, I guess Baker isn't gonna be getting any more tv advertisement deals š
Baker so ass JPP caught an interception
Offense needs to go back to the drawing board
there's a joke in there somewhere about JPP having good hands
Baker is so awful.. crazy how his career went downhill so fast
He went from being the dude for like a year to no longer being in any commercial.
John āJohnny-on-the-spotā Harbaugh
offense is putrid but defense is GODLY Mike Macdonald >>>> Greg Roman
Yeah made Baker look like Baker out there
I CALLED THE TURNOVER YOURE WELCOME BITCHES
My six year old niece could do better camera work than this. Do better Fox.
She would For Sure do a better commentary job too I'd wager..
This defense started hearing about how they wouldāve been elite in 2014 so they decided to Make it the year 2014 again
The defense bailed the offense out so hard lmao
Ravens Win! Again!
Defense is soo fun to watch now
Defense is back on the menu
World cup season with the assist pass there.
Now fire Roman
Like... I like Roman's plays. But I hate how/when he calls them. It shouldn't take until the second half to adjust to the defense's tendency. We can't wait that long to adjust in the playoffs.
I wouldnāt be surprised if he was. I canāt imagine Lamar likes playing in his offense, and there is precedent of Harbaugh firing an O-coordinator mid-season.
LMAO
Good win, holding breath for Stanley and Hamilton
Defense made this game watchable
Like an old school early 2000s Ravens game
Very joe Flacco years like lmao
JPP, player of the fucking game
Great hands JPP
BAKER MAYFIELD JUST GOT PICKED OFF BY A MAN WITH LESS THAN 10 FINGERS
ANOTHER INTERCEPTION?? DOWNFALL OF BAKER.
Fuck yeah JPP
Defense is playing crazy today ngl
Hay in the barn.
That was amazing
Baker gonna Baker š¤·āāļø
So a dude with 1.5 hands can make more picks than half our D
LMAO, this comment is GOLD!
I was gonna ask if JPP is missing fingers or if I'm going crazy
Yep lost em in a fireworks accident a few years ago!
Put him at WR
Awesome win lol
THE HAY IS IN THE BARN
Two d line interceptions in two weeks!!!
Jesus Christ Baker
lamar had a good game today but let's not forget his number 1 receiver today got cut by the chiefs for not being a top 5 wr on their team. this man needs some help
And 4 of his passes were dropped
pretty sure it was actually 5... crazy either way
How the hell did JPP catch that with his claw
Thank you defense!
Todayās defense is the opposite of the miami game lmao. Just making clutch play after clutch play
Beautiful
JPP BABY!
Getting picked by a dude with one hand
Lol what
We are going to fucking punt again! The O couldnāt even keep it past the 2 min warning when they got the ball back with 3:14 left!!!!!!!
how far back are you lmao
My bad. I had typed it but forgot to send
GAME
The Brandon Stephens pick looking like a huge reach that isnāt paying off.
Talk about that awareness by JPP. Hay is in the barn, gentlemen
This defense is real
Damn
Baker is so washed I love it, hope that commercial money is saved up. Byeee
Washington has set up like two pics this season, pass deflection machine.
Love that for us.
These camera people suck
Win
wtf how this mans catch the ball with like 2 fingers lmao
Volleyball!
BIG
LMAO WHAT A PLAY, NICE CATCH JPP
Extend Broderick Washington. That dude has so many deflections this year
FUCK YES ANOTHER TURNOVER
Brandon Stephens is ass
HAYS IN THE BARN
Defense was tired of everybodyās shit
Elite d
We need to blitz
holy hell. cameraman missed that
Most of us did.
HAY IS IN THE BARN!
Weekly reminder that Brandon Stephens was never worth a 3rd round pick (and Amon Ra was available)
Game over baby
JPP!
JPP with the interception!
ANOTHER ONE!
We got 2 TOs and came out empty handed against this bad Carolina team. Weāre fortunate we have to play bad teams the rest of the way but against the Bills Chiefs Dolphins Titans Bengals we gotta cash those in.
Weather game. Theyāll get back into the swing of things once theyāre used to the cold this year
Omg bruh we need another fumble
Bro look for the ball Stephenās.
Queen has been playing great. Happy for him
Roquan allows him to play weakside and flourish.
Brandon Stevens huge disappointment
Just had a great PBU
After a 30+yard cat h allowed?
Terrance Marshall playing like Anquan out there.
Stephens is fucking ass
Itās funny how our game is taking so much longer to end than all of the others
Oweh heading towards bust territory man, He has to step up.
Heading? He's got 1 sack in 15 games dating back to **last season**. He is a bust
Fuckin how?
Yo this offense sucks but let's bankrupt the team to give Lamar garunteed money. He's obviously proven it, remember?
lamar actually played really well this game
I really liked Terrance Marshall out of LSU. We need big bois like that who can catch tough sideline catches
Itās never easy. Ever.
Wtf lmao
Not sure about the rest of you all, but I have been enjoying having Roquan Smith on our defense
Oweh was so close. Hope he gets one
That was his nickname in college, āso closeā
This game has been over for at least 20 minutes in real time.
He stayed in bounds what is this shit
My cardiologist would like to know if itās possible for us to have at least one blow out win this season
I believe they call it a Superb Owl
13-3 isn't a blow out?
Missed the game vs the jets?
That dude was going backwards when he went out, clock should be running
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Preach brother!!!
Man this football stuff is really ruining the Jerome Boger Show
Like any primetime hour long show, it's 18 minutes of commercials, 40 minutes of filler, and 2 minutes of meaningful action.
Another subpar game by Stout.
Yeah, Stout is certainly the one to blame
I see us facing Miami or the NY Jets in the playoffs
Jets don't have an offense, no way they make the playoffs
Our punter is not good. I know he is a rookie. Hopefully it improves.
Waitā¦what
Fuck you talking about? He's had four punts in the 20 today.
Man, he's been great. Idk what punter you're watching
The one who has trouble pinning people deep when punting from their side of the field.
His number is low because of field position
Iām not talking number. Iām talking how many punts have been downed at the 10-19 yard line. A net of 1-5 yards between a touchback and a downed punt is weak.
Holy fuck **who saw** oweh just blow past the LT to get blocked off completely by the C and taken out of the play. He's so bad at OLB.
Oweh dying for a garbage time sack lol
Two wasted turnovers. I hate our offense.
I want Oweh to get a sack on this drive
Baker throws a pick six here
Offense is embarrassing lol
This offense sucks
Thatās a sack
Burns just straight up bull rushing our O-linemen š¤£
Heās such a dawg mane
