Cardinals - Ravens

[Mozart'sGhost]

Looks like the ravens were highly overrated

As long as the Ravens have Flacco as QB, they will always be beatable, no matter how good their defense and or running game is.

Just falling apart there.... lack of offense creativity?

 

[Crimsoncrew]

I can't believe they're getting beaten that bad at home, especially after last week's debacle. Their inability to put up points on Arizona has got to be a major concern for them. They'll be really up for the Thanksgiving game, but it's looking like a much more winnable game than it was even three weeks ago.

The Ravens are the perfect example of how you can't hide weaknesses at QB. This team is absolutely stacked at all posititions.

I ate crow earlier after I said Flacco should have never been drafted in the first round, but I'm taking that back.

Crazy scores this Sunday. 24-6 Cardinals over Ravens, 14-10 Dolphins over Giants, and 17-0 Rams over Saints.

Now this week for the 49ers all of the sudden becomes a "must" win. It would be devastating to lose ground this week when it was almost a sure bet they'd gain ground on both those teams.

And the Colts are still laying an egg...

A Rams win is a win-win. Rams win and move away from the Luck spot, and the Saints lose and fall behind for that 2nd bye spot in the Playoffs.

But, I'm pretty sure the Saints will eventually score 21 points in the 3rd or 4th quarter.

Stacked at all positions? really?

Pretty much.

 

[Crimsoncrew]

Wouldn't it be kind of funny if the NFC West swept the AFC North this week? Obviously the Rams are playing out of division, but there's a pretty decent chance at this point that the other three teams win their games.

 

[threelittleturds]

could be 24-14 in a little bit.

 

[Jikkle]

Pretty much.

Offensive line?

 

[Crimsoncrew]

Maybe the craziest thing that just struck me as I was skimming Sando's posts: the Rams ran their first play of the season with a lead with about ten minutes remaining in the second quarter of their seventh game. And by half they were up by 17.

 

[Crimsoncrew]

Offensive line?

That was my thought. I have seen very little of Baltimore this year, but my overwhelming sense has been that their OL has struggled, especially in pass pro.

 

[CalamityX11]

Pretty much.

First comes to mind is the OL, other than Oher(at RT) there's not really a standout IMO....(prolly a Raven fan with more in depth knowledge would argue)

WR, after Bolden(who really hasn't blown up like projected) isn't as strong. Smith(rookie) is up n coming as a deep threat, no Evans, no other WR worth mentioning. Dickson is learning at the TE spot, but not there yet.

Rice is gold.

Defense is pretty strong as it could be, CBs are probably their weakest unit.

Now not really excusing the Ravens' flaws but IMO i thought they as a team are good enough to overcome some weaknesses. But the lack of offense(Cam????) may be hurting? that and the TOs....

 

[Ray_Dogg]

Oher has actually been their least effective olinemen more times than not. Mckinnie has played well. Grubbs, Birk, and Yanda inside with Gurode on the bench. Flacco has been the problem.

 

[Jikkle]

I've got a feeling Ravens are still going to win this if they can stay away from the big mistakes.

Besides one big play the Cardinals have done nothing on offense.
