Next Up: Division Round vs Titans
- Thread starter RavensMania
- Start date
so for the whole season we're T-3rd but look at the drastic difference pre-week 5 and post-week 5...
actually insane - nearly 2/3 of the big plays happened in the 1st quarter of the season...
the difference between wks 1-4 and 5-17 is absolutely incredible.

I LOVE how much of a hard-on the "experts" have after the Titans won two games in a row. One against the Texans' second string. Another against a historically great team that they won by 1 point sans a last-15-seconds int TD; a team we beat by 17 points.
That's enough for them to crown the Titans "scariest team in the AFC". Meanwhile, the Ravens have been dominating like that for around 12 games... What cognitive dissonance does it take to say... "Yeah, Titans seriously have this one on lock-down." It's like the media thinks this is the easiest upset of all time...
I think we finally broke one of our greatest haters, though. Seth Wickersham.... refused to choose the Ravens in his ESPN nfl picks after week 5, except for the Bengals and final Steelers game... He chose the Ravens over the Titans. Very surprised by that.

From reading updates, he practiced one day this week and I believe had some tightness. The Ravens shut him down (with treatment) to save him for a game day decision.

They need to promote the game. Won't be close.

I didn't know that. I think I like "primetime jet" better than "jet brown".

I do not understand what’s going on in that video at all? Is that part of their warmup or a Lamar-based drill?

Loool. I think that looked like a Lamar based drill where he could be handing off or rolling out.

Hahahah, they just forgot that Lamar either hands the ball off or throw it rather than doing both with two different balls.

Of course all those teams we played recently knew would would primarily run the ball and could not stop it. Only the Bills and 49ers came close.

Yeah ... I said earlier in this thread that I just can't bring myself to watch any more of this stuff cause it is making me crazy and I just want the damn game to get underway (yet, here I am, watching stuff like this anyway lol)
I mean really - the essence of what he is saying is not incorrect ... its just a stupid question. Is anyone going to dominate the postseason in the same way they dominated in the regular season? The answer across the board is a resounding "NO". It is a simple matter of competition.
However, the 2 teams he cites who had some success in stopping us: SF and Buffalo - have FAR better defenses than the ones we are going to see in our path to the Super Bowl. Also, the weather in both of those games was a major factor. I agree with him also teams that tried to stop everything stopped nothing. Teams have no choice but to pick a poison and hope for the best and it makes sense to have that poison be to let us throw the ball.
Here's the problem I see for the Titans. He says, give us the passing game outside the numbers. If they sell out on the run, they are going to give up more than just passes outside the numbers. The Titans are one of the worst teams in the league at stopping the opponents TEs and that's where we feast when teams sell out on the run.
Finally - I think we're all kidding ourselves if we are 100% confident that pressure of the playoffs will not have an affect on Lamar when he simply doesn't have postseason experience. I can comfort myself in knowing that he seems to have shown amazingly well in high-profile prime-time games like vs NE and the Rams, but this is still a concern that sits in the back of my mind until he shows otherwise.
