It's easy, and only takes a few moments.You do understand that he's somewhat of a large receiver, and one or two sportswriters have suggested we might possibly use him to replace Gronk? I suppose you think he would have been worse than Watson, who was barely above worthless tonight?Nonsense. Harry is a wide receiver, not a tight end. Aside from that, he obviously isn't ready or he would've dressed.
I also made a point yest I believe that the D could have a game like this & still be good. They are still very good. Balt was smart, disciplined & frankly arent afraid of us like some other teams fold.
Think the offense as a whole looked good, minus Newhouse of course. Sub him out for Wynn, add Harry, you've got a nice offense IMO. Wish the TEs were better but I'm just missing Gronk still I guess.Positive:
- Sanu looks good, integrating well, making plays
- nothing else
Negatives:
- Newhouse
- Theres others, but.. f*** Newhouse
O-line is atrocious.
Are we really going to sit here and say the Ravens aren’t that good? They just kicked our ass after a slew of people were stoned thinking we were going to rout them.That Ravens team isn't that good. They needed a massive assist to get by a Patriots team that looked in desperate need of the bye.
A gimmick QB like Jackson isn't going to get another W against a Belichick coached team, thats the Dolphins wildcat again.
Ravens played a great game tonight for the most part. Lost of power/pistol, motion bunches w the perhaps the most dangerous running QB ever. Lamar played a great game overall. He controlled & ran his offense to a T. Anyone not giving him credit by now has a clear agenda. Nothing wrong w admitting other teams/players are good. Also please go watch A22 of Lamar if you think he's not that hard to bring down or the Pats should just hit. So much easier then said. Lamar has been avoiding the big shot forever now. He's an impossible mesh cover for LBs & DBs in the open field are still outmatched in most cases.
Pats came out in tempo & looked like 2010-12 except targeting White/11 w Sanu mixed in. It absolutely did have an effect on Balt. Ultimately we shot ourselves in the foot w TO's & penalties & a few dumb mistakes. I said this eariler but Gronk is all the difference. Blocking, tough/easy rec's, RZ ... We need another WR to step up big time. Wynn is obviously huge too. It'll give us some flexibility back in terms of freeing up some guys that wont have help/chip & just give us a much better player.

Speaking of fold I can't believe some thought this team would fold early on. We lost a game. NOT a big deal. It's how we respond in 2 weeks which matters. This team has 20 years of benefit > doubt & will make a serious run at the SB imo.
Please dont flood this board w trash from the usual suspects tomorrow. They've been wrong way more then right. They literally get together, pick sides, go over talking points, get stuff from info/funny stuff from producers & put on a SHOW. Dont be that guy.
Let's get healthy & enjoy 8-1. Still a top 3-5 team in the league.
Mike Pennel could fix the run D.Trollin Volin talked about the spaces in the run D and he was laughed at last week.
Trollin had it right - even if he's an annoying troll.
Offense was mediocre at best. Tom looking very un-goat-likeIt's been a while since we lost a game. Kind of forgot what it feels like. We are obviously going to have to play better going forward. Would love to play the Ravens again!!!
Defense wasn't good tonight, Offense wasn't great, made some uncharacteristic mistakes/penalties as well.
Glad to see the bye and hoping Wynn comes back soon and we get healthier.
8-1 isn't too bad though.
Let's discuss!!!!
I'm mad that they keep focusing on the fact that Jackson was pulled into the endzone and how great that is, haha so funny! It wasn't the difference in the game but it's friggin' illegal. It's another one of those things where it would be a problem if NE did it but if it's another team it's just a cute little blip to run on ESPN reels and giggle over.
The wildcat! The reason we don't see more of this is because QBs aren't meant to get beat up by runningThat's how gimmick offenses work though, once you've seen them they don't work again and Jackson isn't a good enough QB to beat a team that's seen his gimmick live.
