Ravens Ring of Honor
He's got lucky a couple of times and wasn't flagged on the play Humphrey was.
At some point we've got to be honest and realize he's bad.

i think partly too that the guys we have on the backend just arent that good blitzing - chuck's a decent blitzer but elliott and tavon young are great blitzers but with no corners we werent blitzing tavon much and without elliott we dont have a good blitzer there at safety
it's not just about the scheme - i think we no longer have the personnel to be successful consistently with those blitzes - if you're gonna run them then you have to get home quickly and make sure the free man makes it - we're not doing that right now
also worth pointing out that houston, oweh and bowser are all consistently winning in 4 man rush scenarios - it makes sense to play to that strength when the initial strength of this defence (the coverage) has been decimated

Not that it matters but are we the 1 seed now?

This week a win is a win. Still don't like the defense allowing 2 huge plays that result in tds.

I'm still concerned about the defense, played poor discipline and again, big plays allowed. Bears were prepared for the blitz on 4th and 11 and hit us with the double move. This defense sinks when it matters most. We're lucky we came away with a TD on that last drive. It sure helped that Dalton and Fields missed badly on a ton of throws, Bears were literally shooting themselves in the foot.
i mean no one's pretending he's some pro bowl starter or even a starter at all
but this feels like an over-reaction similar to the one when averett got destroyed against the chiefs as a rookie and then again in year 2...
he's a young guy who's got room to get better - feels too simple to just say he's awful in that way
still the titans - they havent had their bye week yet

The defense is the reason for this win. But every weekit feels hard to praise that side of the ball; there is always that caveat that they allowed 2-3 really silly blown plays. I guess that is who they are this year.
I expected nothing from the offense and got a bit more than that, so canot be too upset.Huntley is an ok backup, and already much better than Griffin was for the last few years. Freeman almost broke a couple of runs, but also looked bad on some. At least he delivered when we needed itmost. Murry is the most one-dimensional bak ever. He's not horrible, but goddamn is he predictable

Also Westry played fine anyway - he had 1 bad play where he got it wrong and another couple where he was left manned up in the slot which is not where you want to see him - otherwise he did well

No. Titans are 8-3 compared to our 7-3.
Westry had a bad play, without question, but the rest of the game he was sound.
I couldn't agree more.

Had almost zero interest in watching the game after I found out Lamar was going to play, but I said fuck it. Huntley, under these circumstances, played very well. INT was on Andrews. Led us on 2 go-ahead drives.
Defense. Welp, they continue to give up big plays in inopportune times and it'll only continue. @JoeyFlex5 perfectly encapsulates my thoughts on Wink. It's not the blitzing that bothers me. It's the "when" for me. How about be less predictable?
And we finally stood to our abuser: Andy Dalton. Tbh, we actually did so in 4 of the last 5 times we played him including today.

When i saw the Red headed Stepchild warming up after Fields got knocked out ,I immediately went to the liquor cabinet and pulled out the strongest liquor I could find. Before I could take a fucking sip ,Dalton had thrown a pass in the flat for a score. I knew it was gonna happen.
Surprisingly though the D handled him pretty well after that.
Bravo to our D and Huntley for making a few key plays to win the game.

The best Wink call of the night was rushing 4 players on the last play. If he would have did another 0 man passrush!?

ooft - that's rough for lamar
I watched that with my friend who is a big bears guy. emotional roller coaster for sure

Same here. I didn't want a different strawberry.
I would go a step further. He is what the 6th or 7th CB on the Ravens but is now playing because 3 others are out with injury. How good can you expect the bottom of your depth chart to really be?
