Missed tackles by a bunch of players here. Breeland should have stopped him for a minimal gain.
We’re basically paying our corners league minimum.
What a bust Hitchens has been so far. All of that money, and we still have 2 more years of him.

The Ravens went for what, 5 4th down conversions?
The Ravens aired it out like they haven't all season and were in pure desperation mode from the first drive of the game.
We simply cannot gauge this defense through a box score.
Our defense from last year would have lost us the game. [Reply]
Since Pats don't have AB anymore, I'm more and more by the day, off the Ramsey to the Chiefs train.
Currently I think this team is capable of beating the AB-less Pats. Claiborne will be added to the secondary as well.
If they've turned down an offer that includes a 1st, 2nd + a player tbd...I think I'll pass and take chances w/ the current roster.
If this team is going to pay both Jones and Mahomes, they're going to need to depend on hitting on some draft picks and taking advantage of those 1st contract salaries, and they'll need those 1st and 2nd rd picks. [Reply]

Kinda where I'm at...I mean I want Ramsey and if he doesn't come here it'll suck but I won't be too disappointed.
My biggest issue was always AB with Brady but now that isn't happening so I feel a lot better. Well that and considering their O-line is really banged up and Develin is hurt. [Reply]

That O doesn't look anything like last year's Raven's team. They didn't have Mark Ingraham or Brown.
And that should be offset by our new defensive players and staff. It wasn't.
And for all the talk about Lamar Jackson being so much better...he played the Cardinals and dolphins. There's a lot of premature hype over his improvement. [Reply]
