I think a different team then we have a different gamelan. There was no reason to deviate. The coaches just needed to milk clock on a 2 td lead. You gotta realize I think they're saving concepts and wrinkles for the run. If gsme is tighter we probably see more. Also the fact we're missing a wr. Steelers aren't coming back unless there are TOs.

79 always has his shit together this year. It's the refs that suck. lol Ronnie is The Man.

I just hope we don't start with couple of deep balls to Bate because Broncos torched them on the opening drive.

I hope so. I was thinking it was just a show of disrespect for Pittsburgh's offense but you never know with Harbaugh.
He loves nothing more than running the clock out and can be a bit too willing to trade a possession for a few minutes off the clock. Every team can shut down the run when they're 100% certain about what's coming. (3 RB carries with 1-3 secs on the playclock and a punt)
I'm not worried about tighter games, but if we build a nice lead, I hope he won't be tempted.

Damn looking at their previous wins at home, they have scored 30+ in 8/9 games and average 34 PPG. Granted those wins are against Broncos, Cardinals, Jaguars, Titans, Dolphins, Chiefs, 49ers, Pats, and Jets... This is going to be a tough outing for Brandon Stephens. Ravens cannot start out this game slow and the offense will have to put up points on the board every drive.

What do you mean? Stanley has been guilty of a quite a few false starts.
yep, he's had 15 penalties although less since week 6 the 2nd half of the season, including the WC game. He has been very good this season.

My guess is no one knew who he was last year. Plenty of tape to study and exploit his weaknesses

True, a few more than usual. He has had to run through a gauntlet of top notch D line. Refs do seem to give him extra attention, and as well as he's played I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

Game time “feels like temp” currently 8 degrees at kickoff. Lord help our Florida boys
I imagine the 73% win rate is all time?
Either way, I looked at his games from this year and only one (TB vs Philly) didn't go the way I'd have bet if asked to. I wouldn't read too much into win rates because the teams that were expected to win this year did indeed win with the exception of TB.

Yeah nothing looked too crazy... Except all the penalties we got against Chargers
And to be fair- the Ravens were one of the most consistently penalized teams in the NFL until the end there. So, nothing really standing out as abnormal.

So we have become more disciplined which is a great sign.

We seem to have the Bills number. We lost in 2022, but that game began with a similar start. We were up 20-3 early and offense went MIA 2nd half. Something on defense they seem to understand about limiting Josh. I want to say this group doesn't give up that long td like the previous game, but we saw what happened last week. People having this pegged as game of the year might be in for a surprise if we don't turn the ball over and limit penalties. I've been wrong before, though.

Buffalo attacks the spine of the defense and that's exactly where we are strongest.
