My Ravens haven't even played their A game and we're still blowing teams out. I'm feeling unusually confident about this KC game after they struggled with the Chargers. We have something to prove.
Come on now. It's miles better than Rudolph and Duck but it's still sputtery and discombobulated at times.
IDK what to think. They're not running the ball nearly enough. In 4th Q yesterday Gannon remarked that their running game wasn't working. Bullshit. They weren't even TRYING to run the ball. I don't know if Ben is calling the plays, or if Ben audible-ing and changing the plays, or if Bens presence and influence are causing them to be pass happy, but whatever the case they just don't run enough. They do try early on but I get the sense that if they aren't dominating and breaking big runs early on, they get away from it and as such aren't controlling the flow of the game like you should.....especially when they've got a several score lead.
It's frustrating as hell to be in control and have a big lead to start the second half, only to have the offense stall and string together 2 or 3 short drives, and let the other team right back in it. It happens way too often.
Im not getting too upset yet because there was zero preseason and the Steelers typically start slow anyway, so 2-0 at this point really is nice. Hopefully they can start to their shit together because they're going to need it if they want to make a playoff run. Otherwise it's another one and done.
