I watched them give the Raiders game away with poor defensive schemes that resulted in too much one-on-one and sometimes zero-on-one coverage on the Raiders receivers. I did not see the Detroit game but from everything I read and heard it was a dumpster fire. Jackson is becoming a better passer than a lot of people want to admit, but he still needs to be more consistent. Catch them when they are on and we won't beat them. but catch them on a down stroke and we could easily win.
3 weeks later and nothing has changed. The two Ravens games I have actually watched (Raiders, Colts) their defense has looked like swiss cheese.
Yet overall they have the #7 defense despite playing some good offensive teams (Chiefs, Raiders, Colts, Chargers).
How can the same defense shut down Herbert (22-39, 195 yds, 1 td, 1 int) and get scalded by Carson Wenz (25-35, 402 yds, 2 td, 0 int)
We have the talent to beat the Ravens, but if their defense gets a lot of pressure and Lamar gets hot they could blow us out.
