Cowboys have a good D and aren't relying on their QB to make something out of nothing. They've also not played a super strong schedule so far.

Vikings have a good O but have also not had the hardest schedule so far.

Vikings have some great players and KOC seems like a good coach but the defensive scheme is horrible and they will get especially humiliated by any QB who can run. They're also still somehow playing down to opponents they should be blowing out, which a lot of us hoped they would stop doing with Zimmer gone. It's not unlikely that they'll win the division but unless they figure some things out they're absolutely not going to threaten anyone in the playoffs

The way things are going I can absolutely see them making the playoffs and upsetting someone in the wild card before getting nuked from orbit by Philly. A la the game when the Pats basically stomped Tebow out of the league. So this checks out.

I was going to say “by one of the actual good NFC teams” but uh I couldn’t confidently name one besides Philly.

the vikings are specifically adjusting to a 3-4 after having been a 4-3 defense since approximately the carter administration

optimistically they'll grow in to that

also apparently the vikings are the first team to win a game in london and then win their next game back in the states???

Looks like we won. That's a huge win, especially for a team that often struggles to win divisional games against the non-Browns teams when they are competitive. And with the Bengals having two divisional losses and the Steelers being not good, that gives the Ravens the inside track here. The Browns who knows what will happen with them but we don't have to worry about that right now.

That however is really the only positive. What a rotten game it looks like it was. Sloppy, bad offense. Lamar looking like the guy I was thinking about most of the offseason rather than the guy we saw the first month of this one. I don't know what to say about that. That makes it tougher and tougher to know what to do. I know he's not worth 300 million but some team is going to pay him that because they think they can do more with him than we can. And they're probably right. I don't know how he can look unbeatable one game and a complete bumbler the next. I guess that happens to all players but it's a certain kind of extreme with Lamar that I don't know that I've ever seen.

Other things I noticed:

I was worried when Stanley came out but glad it was just the Ravens being careful with him. I give the team tons of crap but I am glad they are letting Stanley be careful about this.

Duvernay is a good player and asset to the offense. People have been saying for years we should get more out of this guy and now we did because we didn't have other options. I hate this team's mindset toward receivers

Marcus Williams injury...ugh. At least it's not some stupid leg explosion type injury.

Pass rush looked solid for the half I watched. You can say it's against the Bengals but their line was abysmal last year and we couldn't do squat!

edit: Can't forget Tucker. Man that 4th quarter and game-winning streak he has is nuts. Considering it even includes a record-setting kick. Still he did miss that PAT against the Saints in 2018 at the end of the game that lost it.

The problem is he makes at least two absolutely abysmal plays every game, even when he's doing well. Like bafflingly bad plays, that often cost us. And the team needs to figure this out. A lot of it is on Lamar but some of this is on the coaches. The Ravens really are a team that historically refuses to build an offense around its strengths. Look at Hollywood Brown. Here he seems so underachieving..but now he's in Arizona and is a top 10 receiver this year and that's with another inconsistent but talented QB. Those advanced stats posted recently showed that the Ravens were constantly misusing Brown, especially on those WR screens that always got blown up. And sure enough, you go to an offense that will cater more to the talent on the field? He looks a lot better in EVERY way and even has way fewer drops and will make more catches in traffic. When you treat players like garbage they often become garbage.

Duvernay toils here for two years until injury forces us to use him and look at that! All year last year we were struggling to find runners. So why the HELL DIDNT WE TRY TO USE HIM TO THAT END THEN???? A player you can sometimes just get the ball to and let them make something happen. Again people have been saying he's got a similar skillset to Deebo Samuel so why does this team just not do it?? What is the holdup here?

I just looked and Duvernay played in 16 games last year and got 7 rushes the entire season
