Week 4 Ravens Report

[Mr Rattler]

This is a perfect trap game for the Ravens. They just came off a big home win over a good Texans teams. Now they shuffle off to Buffalo for what looks to be an easy game on paper. However, the Ravens have laid big eggs in situations similar to this in the past. Flacco has come out flat with the deer in the headlights look.

The Bills are averaging 135 yards per game. They lost by only 2 to the Patriots, Beat Carolina, and hung with the Jets at the Meadowlands. The line has come down from 4 to 3.

However, this game with be played on the gridiron, not the odds board. The Ravens have owned rookie QB's in the recent past (minus RG3). The Bills rushing game in reality is average at best. Their numbers are inflated by 2 huge rushes. The Bill Offensive line is not very good. TJ Manuel will see pressure unlike anything he has seen before. The Ravens front 7 will shut down the run and pressure the Rookie QB into turnovers.

On the other side, the Bills run defense might be just what the doctor ordered for a sputtering Ravens run game. The Bills gave up over 500 yards...TO THE JETS!! Only 2 take-aways kept them in the game.

Analysis: Ravens will run the ball effectively which will set up the play action, Flacco's favorite weapon. On offense, Manuel will be hurried and pressured leading to turnovers.

No let down for the Ravens this week. They have back to back road games that ends in Miami next week. That will be a tough game, then they go home to Green Bay. This is almost a must win for the Ravens as they are staring at 2 tough foes ahead followed by Pittsburgh. Ravens come to play and get the job done.

Prediction: Ravens 23 Bills 13

Play: Ravens -3

Harbaugh got fined a year ago by not having Ed Reed on the injury report even though Ed practiced all week and played that Sunday. So from then on he puts everybody on the injury report. The reports aren't worth a shit.

I laid off this game on my pool because my numbers show ravens possibly push win by 3 really i think it's a very sucker line here Ravens just hammered one of the power houses of nfl now go on road as 3 point chalk vs bills who couldnt even cover at jets who puked up the ball whole game with penalty after penalty ?

THE bills and Browns are to faded every year !

toos in jaguars and you got triple money each team fails to cover 7 games per year !

Also, ? of the Bills secondary is inactive this week, and that includes their top 3 corners.

The QB EJ is having a hard time using the play option and hitting receivers, which means that CJ (Spiller) and the running game is not effective on 1st down, which is a down where a team like the Bills needs to get 5 yards. The Ravens should be able to limit the run game.

Again, I know this looks like a trap game for the Ravens but their schedule gets tough. A trip to Miami then home vs. the Packers. Ravens are looking at this as almost a "must win".

Also the offensive has to get going and this Bills defense should be accommodating.

Another note, last week, Manuel went 1 for 8 passing when being pressured. He will get pressured more than 8 times today.

looking not good so far Rattler... hopefully they wake up

 

[Mr Rattler]

By far this is THE WORST half of football I have seen played by the Ravens since I can remember. ZERO MOTIVATION...... Now you see why Ray Lewis and Ed Reed were so important.

This performance is a sign of lack of leadership.

The score should be much worse.
