Week 7 Ravens Report

[Mr Rattler]

Keeping it short. Pittsburgh stinks. Their offensive line is a shambles. They cannot run the ball and will be even less effective against the Ravens front 7. Big Ben will be pressured all day. Suggs is licking his chops. I see the Steelers having a very difficult time scoring points on offense.

The Ravens aren't much better on offense. Rice has been a bust this year but he can't run through brick walls. The passing game is erratic at best. Flacco has actually done an amazing job considering the cast of clowns he is working with.

**INSIDE INFO** This week in practice. the Ravens have put into place, an entire new running scheme designed to create running lanes that the Ravens are unable to produce. If this is at all successful, it will add up to a BIG Ravens win.


Play:
Ravens +3

Prediction:
Ravens 17 Pittsburgh 13

 

[Hashish]

:00hour I put my play in on them last Sunday. I can't see how Pitt beats 'em, but everyone else has been saying Pitt all week. I was really hoping you would be on this side! Go Ravens!


PS. I really hope that the new running scheme pans out as Rice has been fucking me in fantasy all year...

Picked against Balt in weeks 1 and 2. Won Denver, lost Clev by a point. Last year went against them 8 times and went 7-1 . My GOY last year was taking the Texans against the Ravens.

Love my Ravens but definitely not a homer with my money.

Good Luck JMAC, thanks for your input :toast:

 

[Mr Rattler]

Really like the under in this game. Steelers struggling for points. The 1 constant for the Ravens has been the defense and a very good pass rush. Steelers defense has been decent and now they get Mr Hair back. I see both teams scratching and clawing for points.

I am NOT making this a play since my over/under plays reek of a dumpster fire.

 

[BigGaycapper]

Your Ravens report thread is a must read for me each week, really appreciate the open minded analysis. Good luck Sunday

Who is Mr. Hair? Troy has been healthy all year.

MY BAD, THOUGHT HE WAS OUT LAST WEEK

 

[barmeezee]

Ravens gonna have 5+ sacks today easy

Not sure what this says about your defense but you gave up 141 rushing yds to that shambled offensive line.

It says we suck. It says the offense doesn't play until the 2nd fucking half every week. Its say that Harbaugh is not a good coach. All he had to do the 1st five years was show up and walk in the door. That team lead itself, motivated itself and coached itself on the field. With the exodus of anyone with an individual opinion or that dared challenge the all mighty Harbaugh,Johnny boy now has to coach. From where I am sitting, he is doing a piss poor job in both pregame preparation and in game decision making. He single-handedly cost the team 6 points last week (4th and 1 & trying to throw Hail Mary's with :16 secs left) and 3 points this week (onside kick? Really?? WTF??

Somebody needs to call this guy out. As a player, there is nothing more deflating than to bust your ass for 60 mins then see your coach be "cute" and hand the other team points in a close game. It almost cost him the Superbowl (Fake FG) That's why there was a team mutiny last year and that's why they got rid of Pollard, Boldin, Williams, etc.

Yeah, these guys may have been a little insubordinate, but that attitude is attached to passion, energy and a belief in yourself. So, Harbs, you have a nice team full of good little boys that listen, but you got rid of the MEN that brought passion, fight and a tough winning attitude

Looks like your opinion has changed a lot since week 1 and 2 when you predicted them to win the AFC North and return to the SuperBowl. I guess losing to a "Pittsburgh team that stinks" will do that.

I don't disagree that Pittsburgh is a bad team, but you over-rate the Ravens by a wide margin. Also, I'm curious where you got +3? That line was +2.5 and as low as +1 everywhere I can find. Bookmaker.eu got as high as +3 for less than 24 hours if you bet on Thursday, but that's all I see.

 

[HoopsGuru]

The +3 had to be a point buy which should be included in records. Balt at 3-4 is an average team. Lets stop talking about last yr and live in the present. Everyone has trashed pitt and said they were pathetic, clearly they are not too bad.

I had 3 available as well but I played the ML :facepalm:

 

[Pound4Pound#1]

One thing is for certain...these two team always play the BEST football game money can buy. I would pay to watch them play every week because you are guaranteed good defense, hard hits (anyone see TP say a prayer after that hit in the middle of the field) a great run game on both sides and excitement throughout. Maybe not the biggest rivalry in sports, but by far the GREATEST played. I salivate for the years we get to see them play 3 times...

Just looked ahead and found they play on Thanksgiving night next. How great is that? I celebrate my favorite holiday with my favorite game. Can't wait :0corn

That was me, btw. I was making some back end adjustments and forgot to switch back.
