Ravens Ring of Honor
When the skins were competitive the shit talking was pretty thick, but they’ve been so bad there’s been nothing for them to chirp about. But you’re right, playing just once every 4 years keeps it from being a real rivalry.
Yea if they were better it would add a little more fuel. I remember in 2012 with RG3 they were really feeling themselves and talking some shit. Also the legend Kirk Cousins was born that day

if you go back to that game, the Skins had fumbled on the kickoff on the final drive and it went out of bounds. If it doesn't go out of bounds the entire RG3 and Kirk Cousins story could be very different.

Watched some of the All-22 from last game....I think Bateman needs to be fed more...there was a lot of yards left on the field still where Bateman could've gotten a lot of YAC if Lamar had found him on a few of the targets that were intended for Zay. Hopefully his target share increases, NGL I may have been misguided on my slander towards him.

Nelly has been nothing but great at doing his job for us. Being a #5, 6? option but catching all your targets.

That being said, I think a lot of us our fans of Tylan too.

“ throwing inside is not a strength of his”
-BB on jayden daniels….havent really watch jayden much this year but how does a qb struggle to pass inside when those are basically the easier plays to make? Im assuming it has nothing to do with his actual arm talent..

Maybe because when he sees an open middle of the field he runs for 1k yards instead lol

We haven't faced a rushing talent qb like him in years but I full expect us to get diced up on JD runs

they're not the easier plays to make lol

it's part of the reason why trevor lawrence has struggled to become the elite QB everyone thought he could be - because he doesnt throw as much over the middle of the field where there are more defenders and the coverage picture can be less certain

I've always been a fan of Bateman...ever since college. He was always a tremendous route runner and that has only gotten better in the NFL. Unfortunately it was his injury that held him back and of course the injury kept him from getting any chemistry with Lamar. That being said, prior to his injury, it looked like he was starting to break out in his second year.

You'd think them practicing against Lamar would have them prepared. They can't afford to miss tackles though. The mere thought of Ro trying to chase Daniels gives me the shivers.

Seems to me that if the Ravens can neutralize McLaurin, Daniels suddenly has limited production potential. And like with Lamar, you have to keep him in the pocket and apply heat. Defensively, the Commanders are not very good and give up 5.1 yards a carry on the ground. The Ravens should be able to pound the rock consistently and do enough damage through the air to balance out the attack. I think they score 27-35 points fairly easily as long as they're not turning the ball over and doing other stupid things like committing a ton of penalties. If they play a clean game, this is a victory and 4th straight.

My only issue is that this secondary hasn't done a great job limiting WR1s this season. I think Scary Terry will get his especially if Stephens is guarding him. We definitely need to win time of possession too.

Bengals will get to play Giants and Raiders without their 1s

I was trash talking out loud during the game "why is Tylan out there he shouldn't ever be on the field playing WR". Then he came in and made that clutch 1st down catch. He shut me up real quick and hopefully it continues.

If there's one thing the Ravens are actually great at, it's exposing frauds. Look at the Commanders depth chart and tell me what you see.
I mean, it's a young team that is probably playing above their means right now, but that doesn't mean they should be dismissed. There's a fair amount of talent there, even if there aren't many stars quite yet. You're right in that we usually show teams like this who they really are, but that doesn't mean they should be written off either. We lost to the Raiders.
