Nope.

I would caution those who think our D played good. We faced a Balt team that had a horrible off season, lost weapons over the past month and even during the game, and Flacco played horrible. Flacco didnt play a snap in the pre season and it showed. Our D didn't cause the Ravens to look bad, Flacco was missing wide open receivers, he only completed something like 7-9 passes. Another issue is we can't stop the run. We can't tackle till the player is in the secondary, this needs cleaned up fast. I expect the Texans to play a lot better than the Ravens did even with a rookie QB. Their line is just as bad as ours but it wouldn't surprise me if we get 2 or less sacks for the whole game. They will adjust and hide their flaws, we will watch ours get exposed repeatedly on national tv.

Yeah right , that's his weakness,he got tossed around last year with the bull rush. He gets beat by speed rushers too and his strength are supposed to be his athleticism. Granted O-line has alot to do with balance and technique.

He looked better in pre season against power rushers. I think he struggled against power rushers last year due to the fact he needed more time removed from injury he suffered in college.  he actually has looked ok this year in run blocking. but my question is. If he is going to continue to struggle against speed rushers wth is he doing playing LT?

On the positive side

looks like the weather could be perfect if no rain comes in.

Yep...PED's. But I'm surprised Burfict didn't get more games for Shazier's hit on Kizer. He probably picked up those bad habits from playing against Burfict.

I think the big thing is they got the lead so early that they didn't run their normal offense. They basically ran the ball every play and still had success.

Had they attacked with passes, the outcome could have been more points.

Is the Ravens D that good this year? Did the turnovers set Baltimore up with a short field a lot?

Or more interceptions. They were able to hide the fact Flacco hasn't played all pre season and still has questions about his back by not having to throw. I personally think we would have had a better chance to win if they were throwing.

I agree, if Flacco was forced to throw, our chances would have went way up. I'm not so sure the Ravens have the all-star defense everybody thinks they do after playing us. They were smart at the line by batting the ball up in the air instead of down, it looks like they ...wait for it... gameplanned for the Bengals; maybe we should try that before upcoming games.

One more postivie for tonight: we're gonna WIN!

5 Texans are really banged up 3 tightends in concussion protocol
6 Ross may return and give Andy another weapon in passing game

7. It's the day before Friday

Here's a positive we will be one step closer to the number 1 draft pick in 2018.

Positives from Thursday...
1) Dalton sucks without a top 5 oline.. so he sucks.

3) Dennards hands are made of stone... Please play wj3.
4) Atkins is fast as ****....
5) Aj is really good.
6) Fisher might be decent one day.
7) Bullock didn't miss
8) Marv is dumb as ****

But none of them lasted 7 years in the league. Definitely not as starters.
