Next Up: vs Colts

[UPennChem]

So in the "traditional sense", it's a classic trap game. Inferior opponent sandwiched in between two tough division games, and especially coming off a big, emotional win. Historically, it's the prototype spot for a massive letdown by the superior team. History doesn't necessarily suggest losing it per say, but a much closer game than people expect is certainly possible (also why the sharps are in on Indy this week).

However, also historically, Lamar doesn't really have "trap games". It was an expected thing with Flacco, but not with Lamar.

Since start of 2019, Lamar has lost 15 regular season games. One he was injured early and didn't finish.
Of the other 14, only 3 losses were to teams that didn't make the playoffs that year, and two were teams who finished the year with a weaker record than ours.

So the teams we generally lose to in the Lamar era are effectively "good teams" (playoff teams). We rarely get beat by an inferior opponent when Lamar plays the whole game.

That's actually just really true. Thanks for posting that

Seeing 90% of rain through out the entire game …. Ok let’s bring Roman back for one game

Fuck that, it’s a Gus, Lamar, and andrews game.

Bateman and Likely will feast.

Cant be believe i bet $50 on OBJ hitting 800 yards, keeping the dumb Aussie stereotype alive

And someone said it's gonna rain during the game, right? You know what this game kinda remind me of? The 2017 home game against the Colts.

The parallels are there. Going up against a backup QB, weather being shitty, and wearing black (this time being the pants rather than the jersey).

Our backups have been outstanding. But yeah, the injuries need to stop now.

The only positive is only 2 injuries so far have seemingly been potentially season ending: JK and Washington

Everyone else is apparently likely to return at some point

Sucks that they’re missing but I’d rather they miss time at this end of the season than later…

Yes but look at how we've been conditioned. Bright side is we've only lost our RB1 and Nickel CB1 to season ending injury after 2 weeks.

I guess we can stop blaming Saunders for all the injuries this time around

It was never a reason to blame anyone imo.. unfortunate injuries just happen sometimes. Only thing we can blame the ravens staff on is the handling of those injuries

Brutal lol, also come on man

 

[Ice Bowl]

Hope you guys stay undefeated. Love you guys.

My fantasy apps already listed Justice Hill as “out.”

We just came out and said we’re activating Melvin Gordon from the PS.

We still need another back for gameday no? Wonder if they’ll elevate Drake gameday as well.

Rainy ass weather and Melvin Gordon getting snaps? This just screams disaster.

If I remember correctly the training staff graded pretty good in the NFLPA survey.

Ok!, My wife, daughter, and I drove up to Baltimore earlier today for the game tomorrow. This is my first time back since Covid-19 started (3 y ears). How come you cats didn't tell me that the stores in the Harbor were empty and shut down? Nothing to see like there was back in the day? It's a freakin ghost town down there in those plazas and that mini-mall across the street. You cats should have warned a brotha. Damn!

 

[drjohnnyfever]

I'd love to have Bert Jones or any old Colt in for a Ring of Honor ceremony before any home game we have with the Dolts.

Probably because no one that is actually from Baltimore goes to the Inner Harbor lol. Pop over to Harbor East and Fells Point and there's plenty of stuff to do that isn't a tourist trap.

Yeah, the developers/owners of Harborplace failed to update/invest and it went way south. It was recently sold and hopefully it gets properly redeveloped, it’s a great location.

I second this. Fells has legendary bar hopping for all crowds. Me and my wife are not the bar going type at all but even we had a blast.
