I don't see that happening,
@MarkAndrewsOurSavior I'm not a big fan on that disagree button, especially when it involves a baseless win or loss. It's just an opinion
There are some members I almost never hit the disagree on and one of them is @allblackraven

I disagree with this statement.

As someone who dislikes the Texans, I have to say I am thrilled about them keeping Bill O'Brien around. I think it makes them worse. Am I wrong to think that? I am mostly going off of my impressions of him from Hard Knocks a few years ago, combined with the team's post-season record. He was - I'll just leave it as, unimpressive. He's the reason I don't fear their extra week of preparation.
I am in awe (and for this weekend, fear) of Watson and Hopkins though. Just top notch.
And I'd be remiss if I didn't thank them for Jacoby Jones, Pollard and Leach, without whom the most recent Ravens' Ring wouldn't be possible.

Jacoby Jones especially is a great reason to like the Texans.

Will be interesting to see who plays better out of Stanley and Tunsil.
The last time LJ played DW was in 2016, in his Freshmen Sophomore year, when Louisville was 3rd ranked Louisville and 5th ranked Clemson squared off to what ended up bing a shootout that Jackson came up 3 yards shy of winning. Final score was Clemson 42-36.

I'm curious to know the reason for your disdain of them.

Ellis and Peko are some big guys. They look like can stuff the run. Hope they can get it done for us with Pierce out.

Was actually his Sophomore year and a WR ran out of bound 3 yards short of a first down. They would've probably scored but who knows. Was a great game to watch
yes, I'm aware it wasn't Lamar that stopped 3 yards shy. Thought it was his freshmen year, my mistake, appreciate the correction.

Ed's comment about Texans in his HOF speech had to piss them off. It was like - oh yeah, I forgot I played for those guys too ... thanks for the extra cash before retirement!

I said this a bit earlier this year and it is coming to pass. This team has always tried to thrive on the no respect theme. Fly under the radar, be the underdog, we like it that way.
This version of the Ravens that will not be true. Forget flying under the radar. Lamar and how Roman is using him is making that impossible. Forget feeling like being the underdog and getting no respect is the motivation we need to show our opponent who we are.
We need to know how to win when we are expected to win - because if we play the way we're capable of - we're going to be expected to win a lot more. No more playing down to the level of a bad opponent. No let down. That will become more important as we have much more challenging games that we're also supposed to win (for example, this week). Embrace being the favorite and embrace the challenge of living up to expectations.
