ANOTHER GREAT GAME FOR OUR DEFENSE– 5 MORE TURNOVERS!

The Browns didn’t have a chance on Sunday against the best defense in the NFL.  I know…I know it’s only the second game BUT…

10 turnovers in two games.  You don’t get that many takeaways unless you are in position to steal the ball.  The D line is in the other teams backfield half the game.  The corner backs are covering the receivers.  The ends are pressuring and sacking the quarterback which allows the safeties to roam the field.  Bottom line is that our players are where they need to be to make plays. Did they make mistakes? Yes.  Can they improve? Yes.  I am still sticking with the Ravens having the best defense in the NFL.

Did you hear the groan from the Ravens locker room after the game when it was announced Yanda would be out for the rest of the season?  It could be heard in Ocean City, it was so loud.  And poor Joe just sat at his locker thinking who’s the next man up.  The Offensive line is the one area we could not afford to lose anyone. At least  Joe knows he has a security blanket in the Ravens defense.

The Ravens are flying ‘Across the Pond’ to London for a match (as they say in London) with the Jacksonville Jaguars this Sunday at 9:30 AM Baltimore time so no sleeping in.  One of the nice things about having a dominant defense is, it travels.  So nothing is going to change (speaking of change will the players get paid in British Pounds?) Blake Bortles is going to be harassed by Suggs and company all day long and the offense will run the ball.  Look for the new guy RB Alex Collins #34-he was pretty flashy last week.  You can’t miss him, he’s the one carrying the ball with dreadlocks flying all over the place.  Just remember even though the game may start at 9:30 in the morning and you may be tempted to have mimosas with brunch forget it- this is still football no matter what time of day. Fire up the grill and have a beer.  Ravens win this week, no problem.

GO RAVENS!!!

Disclaimer: Nothing changes because I’m Across the Pond–I pick who I want to win, to favor the Ravens playoff picture, not who I think will win.  Go Ravens!!!

Thursday
8:25pm
49ers over Rams
Both NFC teams- rooting for the home team

Sunday
9:30am

RAVENS over the Jaguars
Can you say 3 and 0?  You will be by 1:00 Sunday.  The Jags have no running game no passing game and no offensive line.  Sounds like 5 more turnovers to me.   It may be 9:30 in the morning but crack a cold one and enjoy the game. Listen for us shouting the “O” on the National Anthem.

GO RAVENS!!!

1:00pm

Colts over Browns
Both teams are 0-2. That doesn’t mean someone is going to win it could end in a tie.  But the Colts are terrible without Andrew Luck so the Browns may actually win this one.

Eagles over Giants
Both NFC teams-rooting for the home team and so Molly gets free coffee.

Jets over Dolphins
Only because the Dolphins have one win and the Jets have none.

Bills over Broncos
The Broncos are 2-0 and need to be knocked down a peg or two.

Saints over Panthers
Both NFC teams, the Saints are 0-2 the Panthers 2-0, rooting for the underdog.

The Bears stink and it would take a miracle for them to win but we can always hope.

Both NFC teams and we just don’t like the Vikings.
