Baker is hurt. Hunt and Chubb are out. I think Cleveland's starting tackles are still out too. It's a tough time to be on a short week for the Browns.

Teams catching up with us on injuries it seems

Lets hope the 2nd surgery does the trick. What a poo poo situation.

The inevitable Ravens Titans playoff game is going to be better than the super bowl. Book it

Just need it to be in Baltimore so we don't have the pressure of keeping up the road team winning streak in the series.

Football is trying to get me to believe the Bengals are definitely making the playoffs this year and I'm digging my feet in like a donkey being loaded into a transport trailer.

Just dont play the Ravens. Please.

Watkins held down the fort while Bateman was hurt. I'm guessing we will see him back after the bye.

Last time we had a true rebuild year was 2002.

This just isnt our year. PLEASE do not spend anything to acquire anyone. Just wait till next year. I still say we sell if anything but I dont think watkins will get anything anymore

That means nothing. We will likely make the playoffs but have way too many holes and weaknesses to make a serious run.

Yeah man hang it up, no team as bad as 5-2 has ever contended for a SB.

I think our best bet is to just finish out the season as we are, go into the playoffs with low expectations, and hope we can not get so unlucky with injuries next year.

Also Lamar Jackson is really awful passing from the pocket when there is any pressure on him. That must be fixed. But the line having injuries to every player on it doesnt help

I'm on Kawalimus' side here, they're gonna get steamrolled by Derrick Henry (again) or Ja'Marr Chase (again)

I think it's between Bills, Titans, and Bengals for the AFC atm but all three have baffling losses (Steelers, Jets???, Bears).

We've been real good against Henry the last two times. Even in that regular season game where we had all those injuries for 3 quarters we stifled him.

The Ravens have to figure out whats going on with the defense. On paper they shouldnt be this bad. Sometimes they play really well but then in most games they are melting down and seem lost.

One play against a historically bad defense isnt convincing.

Based on passer rating under pressure and completion percentage above expected Lamar Jackson was the 4th best QB under pressure in 2019. 3rd best in 2020.

He was for sure feeling the constant pressure he got from the Bengals but so would basically anyone without a run game or effective quick passing game to make the pass rush pay.

I dont think hes bad under pressure per se in fact hes great on the run. Im talking specifically when passing from the pocket under pressure at all he seems very rattled by it

Yeah. And what I'm saying is that by the stats and my lying eyes he is significantly less rattled by pressure than most QBs.

When hes able to run around this is true. But not when in the pocket
