October 20, 2016

I could not bring myself to rewind and watch last week’s game when all that was going through my head was Odell Beckham scoring more touchdowns.  So I told the team to stop the careless penalties and what did they do, they committed more going from 10 the week before to 15 last week.  Why won’t they listen!!!  The offensive line struggled and and was flagged 8 times for holding and false starts.  I can understand but not accept the penalties when the center was the only lineman in his regular position.  Another close loss on the road is tough to take when we had opportunities like when we’re 4th and 1 on the goal line and could not get a touchdown the previous three plays what do you do? TAKE THE POINTS!!! You’re on the road,  we have the best kicker in the NFL, let Tucker do his job.  Get three points and maybe we get near the end of the game and we only need a field goal to win the game. Just saying, two weeks in a row.

Let’s move on kinda,  we go right back to the same stadium in New York to play the Jets.  That’s right the Giants and Jets use the same stadium all it takes is a flick of a switch to change from blue to green.  When the Giants are home the lights are blue, when the Jets are home the lights are green.  So maybe the visitors locker room will be purple and make the Ravens feel at home, maybe not.  Since we practiced the trip last week it will feel a little familiar but our team on the field may not.  I won’t mention who is injured.  No I think you should know who may not be playing Sunday (deep breath) Flacco, Suggs, Yanda, Jimmy Smith, Smith Sr. Mosley, Dumervil, Devon Hester, both Wallace and Perriman are banged up and the list goes on. We have our bye next week and boy do we need it.  But on the bright side the Oline will get back Stanley and Wagner our two tackles so that could help cut down on the penalties and open holes for the running game against a bad Jets defense.  The Jets are a all around bad 1-5 team. They rank in the bottom third in just about every statistical category.  No matter who plays for the Ravens  and that could mean players like Asa Jackson, Lorenzo Taliaferro and even Micheal Campanaro- that’s right, we are that banged up, we should get a W.  Our running backs are healthy and could be the reason we win against the lowly Jets.  The Bye week can’t get here fast enough.

GO RAVENS!!!

PS Get up early Sunday as we have games in London at 9:30AM. LIFE IS GOOD!    .

Packers over Bears. Dan and MT–Have a great time
The Packers looked tired last week and they have already had their bye week.  The black and blue division not so much.  The Bears are 1-5. Look for the Packers to get a burst of energy and win at home.  Look for my neighbors Dan and Mary Therese, they will be at the game tonight.  GO PACK GO!

Sunday

Rams over Giants in London
After last week antics Odell Beckham is now on my list.  It’s not good to be on my list.  So, go Rams!

Sunday
1:00pm

Ravens over Jets
I go on the road not to New York but Philadelphia, to watch the game with Molly and Ravens Roost 215.  Joe did not practice again today. He has soreness in his throwing shoulder so look for the the inactive list 2 hours before the game to see who is not playing.  The running game will carry the load this week as our running backs are fresh.  GO RAVENS!
