Easily our biggest challenge so far. Love that this game is at home, gives us the edge.

This is such a great matchup. I think it’ll be just as amazing a game as it was last season. Definitely interested in seeing that Ravens defense up against Mahomes again.

Most Baltimore fans are blaming the poor defensive performance on getting beat when blitzing and injuries, most notably to Jimmy Smith.

I live in Maryland. These reeruns, men included, used to say Wacko for Flacco... Yea, more like Wacko for (nut)Sacko.

Here’s a stat.

Lamar Jackson already has over 160 rushing attempts.

Damien Williams barely has over 200.

If the Ravens are serious about Jackson being a long term solution at QB, they need to quit having him run the ball so much. I get that he’s a dynamic weapon, but that will expose him to an injury prone career.

What QB has proven to be a consistent rushing threat (on designed runs) without having a career full of injuries?

I don’t think they have much of a choice. If he’s not running the ball, he’s not a good QB. It’s his best attribute that sets him apart.

He won’t be able to play for long probably, but it’s the only way you get great QB play from that guy.

Oh shit I just realized... We released Tremon Smith.

Tremon Smith played Lamar Jackson as we prepped for the Ravens last year.

WE'RE DOOOOOOOOMED.

We’ll sign Smith back and cut Pringle tomorrow

You know it.

He hasn’t even been the best DE we acquired this offseason. Emmanuel Ogbah has looked like a goddamn steal so far and I hope we can keep that mother****er somehow.

He almost had another sack today and has been very good in run defense

Naptown Chief · 09-15-2019, 09:29 PM

Baltimore sucks. Chiefs by 17+

Mahomes_Is_God · 09-15-2019, 10:22 PM

They suck, 33-10 Chiefs. NEXT!

Direckshun · 09-15-2019, 10:31 PM

This is going to be an extremely difficult game, do not fool yourself.

The Ravens still have a very good run game and Lamar Jackson has developed as a passer.

The Ravens run defense is still the best in the league, so we will be one-dimensional, which sucks when they already have a lot of sacks and Cam Erving at LT.

We're going to still need Mahomes to be every bit the Cheat Code he's been so far, and the defense will have to find a way to cover downfield and slowdown the run before we're decimated by it.

Imon Yourside · 09-15-2019, 10:36 PM

I'm not worried, we have Mahomes and our defense is starting to gel.

FloridaMan88 · 09-15-2019, 10:59 PM

Baltimore's defense is worse than it was when the Chiefs played them last year.

They lost a lot this offseason and their secondary is currently banged up.
