And not to keep disagreeing with ya, but I thought we did fine against the Pats through the air. 254 yards, 103 rating. 

I don't think Ben plays next week, just noting they haven't ruled him out. There's no reason to this early. But I do think he's back in time for the Ravens, using the upcoming week and the bye to get healthy.

And the yardage was ok. Andy's performance was as good as I would ask for. But if our running game is going to be this bad (I think 24th overall and 26th in avg per carry), then we're going to have to do better than 'ok.' We're going to have to follow through. We can't be 6th overall in passing yards and 29th in passing scoring and expect that to translate into wins.
