We did put up 500 yards of total offense and 33 points last year (despite practically taking the 4th quarter off) without Hill, Fisher, or CEH. Also, Mahomes was still dealing with that ankle issue from the Jags game.
I know Andy won’t run the score up all game, but I wish he would in this one. [Reply]

I don’t think he’s gonna have a choice. I’m feeling a shootout.. [Reply]
Here’s a small stat oddity from last years game. Both McCoy and Darrell Williams averaged almost 7 yards per carry. Granted, they had 9 and 8 carries but still.
I forgot that Damien Williams didn’t even play either. [Reply]
As much as each game is important with only one playoff bye spot I almost feel like we are playing with house money with this one. What I mean is even if we lose this away game to a monster opponent, playoff Mahomes will run the table again like no one this league has seen. Maybe a spanking would humble them a bit and provide fuel for the rest of the season given how shaky they have started. [Reply]
I think, if it were me, I'd just keep blitzing the hell out of Jackson....the guy is going to run anyways, and he is dreadful in throwing the ball when he's forced from his spot and not comfortable.
I don't think Jackson "processes" things very well when the play breaks down and he has to make quick decisions. That's likely why he runs most of the time, because he knows it's the only opportunity to pick up yards when he's not comfortable. Honestly, we all know he's plenty good enough to do that, but I think I'd just keep over-whelming them with pressure and make him beat you over the top with dudes in his face.....
Unless we are just putting up points left and right, I think it would be a mistake to sit back and let the Ravens dictate their game plan. I don't think Jackson could do anything close to what Pat just did against the Chargers: Get constantly pounded by pressure, down by 11, and lead a comeback.
just my two cents for what it's worth and probably much easier said than done of course.... [Reply]

If they run a blitz-heavy scheme, that would be a way to take advantage of what Gay does well currently without overwhelming him with responsibilities. [Reply]

Better hope you get a lead cuz we’ve seen how Lamar reacts under those situations vs Patrick!
You must be one of those fans that only watch your team, which is obvious by your comments. Lamar goes through his progressions pretty well actually, especially given his age and the fact that he knows how dynamic he can be with his legs. The Ravens have made a point to spread the ball much more this season and not force feed their TE's.
This isn't 100% directed at you but, Ravens fans do not think Lamar is better than Mahomes, lets be clear on that to people on here. This narrative that our Defense isn't good is pretty funny though. The Tavon injury was pretty big but not something that is so catostrophic that we can't come back from it. Wink will scheme up ways to hide or deficiencies. The O-line is a concern but without an extended training camp we knew it would take some games for that to come together. This is a very good Ravens team. Not unbeatable by any stretch. [Reply]

The major issue for your defense is your pass-rush has been sub standard and you can't get home with just four...therefore Pat is likely to have time unless you blitz..and if you blitz it's a very bad idea. Your secondary has not faced an offense like ours either. Last time we played we had no Tyreek, Fisher or Williams..whereas we've faced Lamar twice already. We've also faced other teams who run the ball a lot like the Titans and Niners. The Ravens D got diced up the last time they faced Pat and even Peters has been great for yall he was on the field when Pat put 50 on the Rams. It should be a great game though. [Reply]
