AAA DOLFAN posted:I still don't see how Miami moves the ball. I just saw we lost our starting lg smith as well. Knile Davis is a really exciting runner and is a good sub for Charles. You will move the ball through the air and ground as KC's D is badly injured and already prone to giving up big pass plays. The only strength of KC' D right now is its pass rush and Tannehill seems pretty good under pressure. Excited to see Branden Albert on Tamba Hali.

Reed is more likely to be out Cousins still has Garcon, Paul, and Roberts as pretty good targets and Grant has shown he's a great route runner with sure hands, I could see him being a major target for Cousins. Expect Meriweather to concuss himself and someone else on the Eagles

Ravens are in a must-win situation this week. You might think that's dumb but this team can't afford to go down 1-2 in the division with road games at Cincy and Pittsburgh remaining. If we drop this one you can count us out of the AFC North, not that the Bengals aren't pretty much a lock to win it anyway. But you never know with injury luck. This is the week you'll see if the Ravens offense has really improved or if they're just the same old Ravens inconsistent sputtering offense. We haven't looked half bad with that since the abysmal first half in the first game. So come on Smiths and Flacco, let's see what you are made of.

Carolina is probably going to destroy the Steelers as the Steelers continue to forget how to tackle, how to protect a QB, how to hold a lead (which they won't get), and how to not take dumb loving penalties

Dallas Cowboys vs St. Louis Rams St. Louis Rams are giving up 171 ypg on the ground and allowing 5.5 yards per attempt. Watch as Dallas goes into full Air Raid Offense and forget that they can run the ball. Romo probably takes a beating this game as Doug Free will continue to struggle in Pass Protection. I have no idea who the gently caress Austin Davis is but watch as he looks like a world beater at times against this defense. Look for Jared Cook to have a monster game as the Cowboys safteys are loving awful in coverage.

GB @ DET LOL 1-2

In my preseason predictions I had GB@DET penciled in as a loss for the Packers. Now I'm not so sure. If the Week 1 Lions that trashed the Giants show up, the Packers will lose. If not, toss-up. If the Packers that showed up in the 2nd and 3rd quarters against the Jets show up... poo poo, I'll be happy to be wrong. Maybe the Giants really are THAT BAD, but I don't think the Packers secondary will do any better than they did when it comes to stopping Megatron. Best idea I can come up with is to glue Shields to him (since Shields can definitely outrun him - it's not like we have ANYONE on the roster that could really defend a jump ball from him) and keep a safety over the top pretty much ALL THE TIME. The problem there is our defense is already bad enough against the run even when one or both safeties come in to support. We also lack the pass rush of a team like the Panthers that can get in Stafford's rear end so much that he just can't get the drat ball TO Megatron. I expect to see Detroit's week 1 offense unless they just poo poo the bed. On the other end, well, Rodgers finally looked like Rodgers last week... after the first quarter, that is. If he isn't sacked like 8 times he'll make sure this offense puts up points. Also, I think we'll see more of a run game. The Jets have a top class run defense, the Lions... don't. It's going to be a loving shootout, basically. Tentative little-to-no-confidence total loving guess with a dash of wishful thinking: Packers 45, Lions 41 If Rodgers spends all day on his rear end or running for his life, just knock about 3 TDs off that Packers score and it'll be about right.

But we'll need to do something like steal one in Cincinnati if we lose this here. I'm not even saying that Cleveland is a bad team and we should be expected to beat them as I honestly think they're pretty decent this year especially when Gordon gets back(thats another reason we MUST beat them now), but if we're going to do anything you need to win here. The road will not get any easier ahead for us. Carolina and @Indy(where we've NEVER won) are coming up next for us.

Plus, it's not like the Panthers defense isn't aware of what Steve can do, and apparently almost all of them are ready to take their shots at him.

And for all their flaws the Ravens D has been gold in the red zone, with Cleveland's weapons that trend could well continue. It is fun that for the first time in a long time a Brown game seems to be a coin flip. Even the game Baltimore lost last year was more due to us being terrible than Cleveland being a threat. The Browns could be a middle of the road team, which the rest of the division is, if Hoyer provides better than awful play at QB. For some reason I've had this recurring thought of the Ravens and Browns meeting in Cleveland during the playoffs. If such a thing were to happen (it won't) I don't know that I could really enjoy a Baltimore victory. Winning that game would just be loving evil.

This year he has a bunch of hot garbage and raw UDFAs conscripted into action. Plus Hawkins. There's already been more miscommunications on routes not being run anywhere near where they were supposed to than you ever want to see but its to be expected due to the various circumstances.

The one thing Dean Pees can actually do well is "bend but don't break", hopefully the tackling doesn't suck because Terrence West loving owns and will truck fools. Also I'd still want to crush Cleveland if we ever met them in the playoffs but I would feel a little guilty if Cleveland had their first playoff game in forever and the loving Ravens of all teams sends them home.

zimbomonkey posted:we're beyond the pale here Not to be a homer, but Fiz isn't really damning with faint praise, it's just praise because it's apt. Cason did a really good job against megatron and Melvin White has been a sleeper for the whole "breakout bullshit of the never" award since last year. The starting duo are actually pretty good and DeCoud doesn't suck like Atlanta fans thought he would. It's not perfect and there's going to be bad days, but their ability to limit gains has been great. Cason especially has been very sound in his tackling. Smith will be fired up and make his hundred yards or whatever, but I really don't see him taking a short gain underneath to the house like he used to. Certainly not with the linebackers in coverage. Either way, Pitts the next game, I'm looking forward to being able to watch this one without being sleep as gently caress from being awake early. The Steelers offensive line has not been pretty this year and if Hardy is allowed to play it should be good fun to see the line in action. I've got no idea how good or bad the pittsburgh front seven is because I've only seen about a half a game from them. I'd like to think that they're an easier match up than the last two. Detroit and Tampa were a little bit trial by fire for the guards and they came through it pretty well. Maybe people will stop thinking it's dumb to expect the panthers to be good after two games of being just that.

The Lions don't have a secondary anymore, but if the rush can get to Aaron Rodgers fast enough and consistently enough, I think they can win a shootout. The last meeting was a blowout but Rodgers is a better quarterback than Matt Flynn. Joique Bell and Reggie Bush have not started well, but the Packers should be easier to run on than the Giants and Panthers.

Lions are better at home and the offense probably has no concern for what the Packers can do on defense, but the Lions poo poo secondary is already got a bunch of injuries and it is the lions. I'm going with Rodgers.
