Teams Baltimore Ravens - Rise and Conquer

[Toadvine]

I'd hate to see BK walk. We have to tag him. I don't want another Zadarius Smith situation where we develop a guy and another team gets to reap the benefits.

Interior rushers are so hard to find.

If we're going to lose to the Steelers, at least it's the backups and it increases the chances the Bills miss the playoffs for the LOLs.

My hope:
Bills to win today.

Bills versus Browns week 2.
Miami versus Ravens week 2.

We can beat up whoever lasts the Browns / Bills running game slug fest.

This is awesome.

He definitely should be the next in line for us and hopefully he stays for that job.

Be interesting to see how we roll with likely if Andrews is fit next week

Andrews can take some of the snaps from Agholor….

Having your best most favoured receiving weapon back, will open up other options. No one has the connection to Lamar and the hands that Andrews has.

There were more Texans supporters than Baltimore supporters in the random brewery I was in in Philadelphia. So **** them.

I was going to head down to Baltimore but I only landed this morning and apparently trying to get out and on the train sucks arse according to locals.

I took the bus from NY to Baltimore and it was fine. Surely a train can't be that bad. Would be well worth it just for the atmosphere. The whole city seems electric right now.

 

[LittleG]

That was so flipping frustrating.

Some bad decisions, a couple of fumbles and the Chiefs rode the refs luck.

 

[Toadvine]

Pain.

We just could not get out of our own way?

No attempt at the run game by the number 1 rushing team in the comp?

Two trips to the Red zone for 0 points?

It's like Lamar wanted to do it all on his own to prove something to his doubters instead of sticking to process of building on the run and taking quick easy throws.

We shut out KC in the 2nd half. You keep KC to 17, that should be enough to win the game.

Whats worse, we could be about to lose our DC and have our roster gutted. Hopefully we can attract some decent players on a discount for a chance to challenge.

That fumble... screamed of "been here before and keeping our heads vs rookie on a rookie AFCCG team".

Just rubs salt in the wound having Mike Mac leave for Seattle.

Started his career as an intern with the Ravens and worked his way up the ranks to be one of, if not the best HC candidate in the league.

I think we should have signed him to an extension, made him the highest paid DC in the league and made a succession plan for him to take over the Ravens after next season.

Because, if we fall flat on our face in playoffs again next year....whats the point?

We keep firing OCs expecting things to change but Harbaugh is the constant.

Why do we panic and go away from what makes us a great team in the playoffs? That is Harbaugh's responsibility.

I'm just ranting at this point

 

[Toadvine]

And now Wilson who was seen by many as the next in line to take over Mike is off to the Titans. Can we keep Weaver and Orr? They could be going to the Commanders or off to Seattle to be Mike's DC.

Heard talk Zach Orr is going with MacDonald to Seattle.

Mark Andrews doing Mark Andrews things

Ravens announce they have promoted LB coach Zach Orr to defensive coordinator.
Orr, 31, is a former Ravens linebacker who saw his career cut short due to neck/spinal issues. The former undrafted free agent quickly transitioned to coaching, cutting his teeth as a defensive analyst with the Ravens from 2017-2020. He spent one season with the Jaguars as an outside linebackers coach, only to return as the Ravens’ linebackers coach in 2022. As an internal candidate, Orr is more than familiar with how former defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald handled the defense during his two seasons with the team. Orr will now have his chance to lead a defense that ranked third and first in points allowed in each of the last two years.

 

[Toadvine]

Not to mention assistant GM Hortiz being made GM of the Chargers and the analytics/recruitment guy who went with him.

 

[LittleG]

That Flowers fumble….

That Lamar fumble would have been a Bateman TD….

So close, yet still so far!!!!

The team gets gutted by FA and I hope we have a couple of vets who will take a small discount to stay:
OBJ / Agholor (either)
Clowney
Van Noy

I expect we lose Queen, Stone and Madabuike to top of market deals. We will need a new interior rusher from the first 3 rounds.

Really Hoping we bring in King Henry.

 

[SnakeMan86]

And

The taunting penalty
The interception
The unsportsmanlike conduct.
The 8 rushing attempts from RB.
We played as poor a game as humanly possible.
I said it before but it reeks of carrol trying to make Russel Wilson the hero against the pats instead of just having beastmode run it in.

Came in with a gameplan of having Lamar throw the ball and prove the doubters wrong

 

[Toadvine]

I was listening to a podcast the other day and they said "Lamar has become ashamed of his athleticism" and I thought that is true to an extent. I definitely feel like he doesn't "want" to win by using his legs. He wants to win as a passer because of all of the outside noise by the media etc.

I hope this offseason he can reflect on that and just check the ego of "proving people wrong" at the door. Just takes whats given and if nothing is there run it for 5 years instead of pressing and gettings sacked because you want the splash play.

Aaron Schats thought Josh Allen & Dak Prescott we’re better this year than Jackson….

Prevented Lamar from being a two time unanimous MVP.
