Week 11 Ravens Report "Lite" 11/17

[Mr Rattler]

These guys are going to play in a freaking Typhoon with tornadoes, downpours, the works. Expect the game to be stopped at some point. The worst of the storm should hit at 2pm Local time so consider that in half time bets.

Bears have lost 4 of last 6. Their 2 wins? A horrible Giants team and the Packers without Rodgers.
Ravens have played hard every game. 4 of their 5 losses can be pointed at a single play or worse, a single coaching call. Ravens may have turned corner last week, despite some dismal numbers. They looked like they refused to lose. That's a look that I have not seen all year.

Factor in the monsoonal winds and I will take Flacco's arm over McCown's

Holding my nose and taking.........


Ravens + 3

Good Luck all!

the espn sunday countdown crew basically laid out an excellent explanation why the raven offense(particularly rice and flacco) has struggled so much this year....

1)the guy(rice) has carried an enormous workload throughout his college career(since 2005) and on into his raven career...he`s not a big guy but he`s been a workhorse back wherever he`s been...he`s been very durable and really hasn`t had many breaks throughout his career...

2)the ravens have absolutely no intermediate receivers...therefore putting real pressure on flacco and rice and leaving opposing defenses more opportunities to use run blitz schemes and basically concentrate on shutting rice and pierce down ....

3)they didn`t bother to mention the loss of matt birk,but most diehard ravens fans now realize what minnesota fans knew for years....how important matt birk is to an offense........

it was an excellent discussion...
