Awesome have a great time!Hey guys! I’ll be at the game I hope for no injuries and of course a victory .
Great question. I think the Patriots are definitely ready to light these guys up at home. If you watched Mac Jones at Alabama, you know he can pick apart a defense and let his receivers do their thing. If the OL does as good a job as they did against the Steelers, the Patriots can blow these guys out.They do look bad on defense, my point is are we ready to exploit that?
I like our defense but Baltimore has a really good offense, you still have to anticipate them scoring at least 17-20 no matter how good we play. Our offense will need to do more this week.

This is a good test for this defensive team. If the Miami team we held to 20 was the "real" Miami, it bodes well for what we do against the Ravens.
One of these things is not like the others..Agreed. Lamar, Josh, Tua, Rodgers, etc., a lot of reasons for faster defensive guys. Hope Duggar is OK. Need Barmore to step up. Uche and Jennings helping would be nice.
It doesn't make much sense to say you think a team or QB is top <X> unless you actually go through and rank everyone. I have the Pats at 17 right now because I looked at every team and found that I considered 16 of them better. Months ago, I did a QB ranking and expected Mac to be somewhere in the 10-15 range and he ended up in the 18-20 range after actually considering the rest of the QBs.I know some of you don't care about these things but for those who do....
NFL.com has as at 18 in their power rankings.

I think we are top 15 through 2 weeks
That goes for our Offense the Defense is carrying this Team.I'm not sure how to feel about this game.
On one hand the Ravens don't look good. Lamar is great, but they haven't been able to run the ball with their running backs and their passing offense is really boom or bust. If the Pats can prevent explosive plays by playing heavy coverage I don't think the Ravens can consistently move the ball by taking what the defense gives them underneath. The Ravens defense seems pretty bad against the pass, but I'm not sure the Pats have the passing game to take advantage of that.
On the other hand, I could see the Patriots come out and make mental mistakes that lead to explosive plays for the Ravens and turnovers given up.
Coming into the season I expected the first 4 games to be really difficult. After watching the Ravens against Miami and the Packers struggle offensively in their first team against a defense that got lit up by the Eagles yesterday. Honestly, I don't think the Ravens or Packers are really that good. Unfortunately the Pats aren't that good either.
