I'm afraid it is going to be tough sledding tomorrow.  We simply don't match up well and they will be the hungrier team.

Henry - Our D is full of speed but also not a heavy group save the DTs.   I think Henry will wear us down and once he hits the 2nd level untouched there will be some gashing type runs.  Hopefully CJGJ and Blankenship can finish the game with their bodies intact.

Lamar - Normally our speed is going to handle any QB who looks to run.  However, Lamar is the GOAT (or is it Vick?) and his speed and quickness will outdo our guys.

OL/Saquon - Their D is great against the run so this one is likely going to be a push.

 

I hope I'm wrong but I fear we might get crushed.  The silver lining could be that we receive a humbling message and don't lose again all year long.  If we can exit with bruised egos but intact physically we will be fine.

Im glad to tell you, you are very wrong.

Their Wrs are meh. Our dbs can handle them. I hope we use alot of 5 man lines. The key to stopping henry is getting in the backfield to disrupt his feet. Even if you dont tackle him, just dont let him get to the second level quickly

Same as Brandon Jacobs. Get him moving laterally behind the line so he cant build momentum.

Ah good to know thanks HE.

The Ravens will be a tough test to our team.  They have good defense, strong running game, a top QB ... The problem of starting slow can lead to falling behind a good team and make things difficult.  This has been a problem since beginning of the season.  We shall find out if this team is a serious SB contender.

John Harbaugh is going to be a **** tomorrow, that's for certain. He's the type of coach where if you're up 7 with 30 seconds left and the Ravens only have one timeout, he'll use that timeout after your first kneel and make you kneel it again.

Or if he's down 40 with 2 minutes to play he'll still blitz and call timeouts to try and get the ball back.

There's no bigger stickler **** coach in the NFL than John Harbaugh. He's going to do something c**ty tomorrow for certain.

They lost 4 games, so they aren't invincible.  The offense has to keep pace.

Exactly. They don't have the dynamic offensive mind from a week ago either.

Man up the WR and focus on the run and keeping LJ contained.

No team in invincible but matchups and context (point in schedule, injuries, etc.) matter.  I'm not saying "we can't win".

Train, eat your vitamins, say your prayers, and believe in yourself, brother. 

100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10k run every day for 3 years.

Understood, but I wouldn't say crushed. I think we actually match up well with them on D. The Eagles may lose since they never win there, but I think that will be on the offense. They can man up the WR with how good the secondary is and focus on the run/containing LJ.

They also go against the best OL and RB in the league every week in practice. They will be ready for the physicality.

We're a SB contender win or lose.

A road loss to an AFC team that has the #1 offense in the NFL doesn't mean we can't win the championship. 

They lead the league in penalties with 101, Houston is next at 92. Their Guards hold like crazy so hopefully the Eagles sent tape to the league of Carter getting held last week. They aren't a disciplined team.

This will be the only game this year that I'm pushing a negative narrative.  Can't win them all.

Helps playing next to Carter, but I really like Williams and think he will be hard to replace.

I’m expecting a 2004 Steelers type game tomorrow. One where we fall behind early and never really make a game of it. Just my gut feeling anyway. Obviously I hope I’m wrong by a lot.

Baltimore's worst unit in their passing defense.  Ours has been our passing offense.  (Worst doesn't mean bad.  It is a relative term.)

IMO, the difference will be if Hurts can take advantage of the matchup.

All the TO comparisons were so dumb. This dude is a great player and teammate. Love having him on this team whereas I couldn't wait for TO to GTFO.

@VaBeach_Eagle ... is that accurate?  

 

You can still copy and paste whatever part you want to respond to but it just won't be in a quote box in your post.  

 

Yes, click the quotation marks symbol then copy and paste into the blank quote box, like below. I

I don’t mind when coaches do that. It’s coaching your team to the end. Make them snap the ball again, nothing wrong with it IMO

Some team is going to go crazy and give him 20m/Y. 

If the Lions lose to the Packers next week, we’re the #1 seed due to common opponents

But if the Lions lose to any other remaining team and we both finish 15-2, Lions win the conference
