Without Roquan they can certainly run all over us. Going to need to take the lead early and try to make them pass more

definitely will be more difficult without Ro, but I believe we can still win this game.

Over/under 50% of Ladd's snaps in which Stephens will cover him.

Definitely a long shot.

It's all the more frustrating when you lose games that you gave away when injuries occur later on. Winning those games and being able to drop one while a player recovers is the reason you take points and don't give them away... if you can avoid it. We are on a razor's edge. We drop a couple more Conference games and we're toast.

He is too shifty, keep Marlon on that guy all game.

Wildcard is not guaranteed. Ravens sit at 6th right now with the Texans, Steelers, Eagles, and Browns... Easily could lose a few of those.
Very interesting video here. It seems we struggle against man coverage on early downs. Explains why we struggled against Pittsburgh and Cleveland. And if we want to beat KC in the playoffs we’ll have to figure this out
Thats why they traded for Johnson but him and Lamar have to get on the same page.

I'm not concerned. 10-7 is certainly a playoff team, and no reason to think we can't go at least 3-3 in our last six. Realistically, the 7 seed could easily be 9-8 also.
And I'm the guy that will tell you that there's still plenty of paths to winning the division. Pittsburgh has five division games, KC and Philly on their schedule. I think them finishing 12-5 or 11-6 is very realistic.

There might be paths, but that's likely a pipe dream for the Division. Our players are no longer in question to me about what THEY can do. What concerns me is the coaching. I'm sorry to say, but I trust the Steelers' coaching and the Chefs coaching to make fewer mistakes than ours in the remaining games. What does that mean???
This. I can accept losing the Chefs game. But I can't accept losing the Raiders (!!!), Cleveland, despite it being a divsion game, or this most recent Steelers' game. Our coaches are prone - imo - to not knowing how to facilitate winning in games that start going sideways. We are bound to have at least two more of those types of games, not to mention a game or two still that we could easily lose... Steelers again, Philly, Houston, Chargers, and Brownies - because we are always their super bowl. That's 5 potential losses that would not surprise me.
And with injuries like Roquan, you're asking a lot.

Let's hope you're right. The good news is the defense physically cannot be worse than it has been. The bad news is this is a brutal stretch of good defenses. Chargers, Eagles, Steelers, Browns, Texans... WOOF. Giants defense even has some pieces.

Warren Sharp was demonstrating that the chargers run a lot of zone looks that we do the best in the league against . Also worth noting the chargers haven’t beaten a team above 500 besides Denver

To me, it comes down to our OL. If you look at our losses this season AND last season, there seems to be a common denominator.

At least the Brownies helped us out last night. Divisional numbers always tight, but we still need to find a way to beat both the Steelers and Brownies at home.

Honestly seeing them nearly blow that lead against the bungles was pretty bad, I think we’ll roll them. They’re inflated by playing bad teams

Yup... common in most our losses
