I am hopeful that the offense kept it somewhat vanilla today because they knew they were going to win and they knew they were likely playing them again next week.
With that said, I'm not gonna lie, only winning by 11 when their offense was playing almost exclusively back ups and turned the ball over 4 times is concerning. Our offense looked stagnant most of the second half with a lot of missed passes by Burrow and a terrible rushing offense. Burrow was running for his life for a good portion of the game and the defense seemed to be on our receivers like white on rice for most of the game.
The good news is the Ravens were playing almost all their defensive starters, so they should be able to study this game and be better on offense next week. Zac had some pretty silly play calls today like the 4th down play and a few too many quick screens though which i hope was part of the "vanilla game plan."
Our defense looked pretty good but they were playing against all back ups so I don't know if there's much to take away from that. There were at least a few passes by the QB that were just so far off line but i wouldnt expect Jackson to miss, one being in the end zone. There was a drive in there that it looked like the passing defense was falling apart but they regrouped the following series. I just hope Jackson doesn't come back this week and carve us up.
I think we SHOULD win next week but division opponents are always tough and we have a bad track record of playing divisional opponents in the playoffs. We'll see how this coming week goes.
