***Game Thread*** Baltimore at Washington +14.5 (45) (1 Viewer)

[Ministry of Pain]

Lamar Jackson has been underwhelming, one would think today is the day for him to explode. 

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Baltimore 41-14 today, you have to bet it that way except that i usually take the points on huge interconference lopsided point spreads. 

Who can take the WFT +14.5 vs an angry mob in Baltimore fresh off an embarrassing loss to their nemesis at this point.

Ravens LT Ronnie Stanley is out. He’s Lamar’s main protection. All the more reason for the Ravens to run all day. Looking for Dobbins to get more carries (to go w last week’s increased targets). Also look for Duvernay more

Yeah with Lamar there’s the 0-3 vs KC team and then the 21-1 vs everyone else in the regular season team

 

[The_Man]

Don’t like that called QB draw on 3rd and 12. Gotta let an NFL QB throw in that situation 

 

[Uruk-Hai]

What the hell is Roman doing? One short Jackson gain, then two bombs.

 

[The_Man]

Doink!

Campbell and Humphrey (plus Tucker) playing at an elite level. The rest of this team right now? Eh 

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Wow. 

 

[The_Man]

Great block by Bozeman. Lamar made it look easy 

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Man, middle of the Ravens pass D is soft

 

[The_Man]

Score here, score after the half, and call it a day

 

[The_Man]

Gonna run the ball or nah

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Gonna run the ball or nah

Apparently not. I don't get it

 

[The_Man]

Unreal fake. Now run. Don’t want to score too soon anyway 

 

[Ghost Rider]

Lamar over 100 passing yards for the first time since week 2.

 

[The_Man]

Teams crowding the box vs the run so much that short passing game is highly ineffective. Need to throw intermediate/deep or just run. Short passing game is pointless 

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Hey, Matt Judon - welcome to the season starting!

 

[The_Man]

Score here, score after the half, and call it a day

Coulda done without the INT but good otherwise 

Fully expect halftime defensive adjustments that will result in a Haskins INT 

 

[Uruk-Hai]

If Baltimore doesn't start running the ball, the top of my head shall explodeth

roverbs Uruk 10/04:

 

[The_Man]

Humphrey getting close to a screen INT 

 

[Ministry of Pain]

So 28-10, Ravens in control, and as we enter the 3rd Q...Ingram 6 carries, Edwards 5 and Dobbins 2...who can actually play any of these guys? 

But props to the Ravens, they look like they will elevate to 22-1 against 30 NFL teams, very impressive. 

 

[The_Man]

Gibson is impressive 

That Washington 24 reminds me of Kelvin Bryant a little though Gibson is faster and more elusive

How can Ravens RBs have only 13 carries?

Need to get their head straight 

 

[Long Ball Larry]

That was odd.  Seemed like there was very little chance of converting that and even less chance when they ran that play.  And they need three scores anyway

And I meant 4th Q actually, not 3rd. But sincerely, Lamar Jackson almost by himself is enough most weeks for them to win. I know the FF community has been down on him early this year but in NFL terms, he is just incredible. 

 

[The_Man]

Killing them up the gut w first sustained ground drive since opening possession vs KC and then F themselves w stupidity. 

Guess we’re pretty spoiled to grouse about a cakewalk but the bigger issue is Roman’s bizarre approach to playcalling so far this season

And then he decides to punt for some reason

Is it possible that he feels comfortable with what they can do in the ground and really wants to get lamar to develop more in the passing game, especially given the lack of preseason and strange offseason?

 

[PennStater77]

WTf is LJ?

 

[The_Man]

Victory Cigriffin III

 

[Uruk-Hai]

That INT was Brown's fault

 

[The_Man]

Yeah but why in the world are you throwing the ball with your mop up man running out the clock? Really bad 

 

[Ministry of Pain]

14.5

Wow...good job RG3, thanks...

 

[The_Man]

Now you get Boyle hurt 

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Yeah but why in the world are you throwing the ball with your mop up man running out the clock? Really bad 

See my proverb above

 

[The_Man]

Dobbins gotta stay the F in bounds 

Good pass catcher but unimpressive as a ball carrier so far 

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Washington played hard today. They didn't quit. They just need more good players.

The Ravens still look like a bit of a mess to me.
