Ravens are awful. Dean Pees is the worst coordinator in the history of the NFL.

he is indeed the worst coordinator of all time. how the gently caress do you get owned by blake bortles with this insanely stacked defense just jesus christ.


dean pees is almost not a liability if every single player on the d line is playing like an all pro otherwise hes such loving garbage

The Puppy Bowl posted:

Wow. I am really surprised how much time Bortles is getting. That was the slowest moving play imaginable and no one got with in 3 yards of him. I really underestimated how essential Williams was to the pass rush.

b will is good and all and gives more pass rush than youd expect but hes still a like 400lb nose tackle and he has a more than capable backup. if your run stopping NT is essential to your pass rush your scheme is retarded

Everybody but Kawalimus tell me: are the Jagz good or are the Ravens bad?

ravens defense is insanely talented, probably on par with their best units in the past just personnel wise. the offense was bare of talent before 3 of their offensive line starters were injured(or retired at like 25 years old) and uhhh lmao the injuries never stop

No I hated him day 1!!! I knew he was a junk coordinator he had a bad reputation coming in being the DC on new england in some of the years they were really bad on defense, though they had the excuse of low talent levels in a lot of those years. Here he doesn't have that excuse cause newsome is pretty good at stocking defense.

I wouldn't be so hard on him cause everyone's defense melts down now and then even the 2000 defense and 2006 defense(though them less so) had their bad moments. It's just time after time we see these breakdowns in his defenses. I knew a day like this would happen as soon as we weren't facing the week's worst-performing QB, although even I didn't think it would happen against BORTLES

bitch i remember pming you about this during my exile u robbed me of my take and ill never forgive u

with yanda, alex lewis and a bunch of other guys dead, the ravens are currently fielding one single nfl caliber offensive lineman. just line up ronnie stanley alone he will probably be better than these 4 practice squad dudes

Kawalimus posted:

Oh yeah I agree. We came into this game with just 9 catches from our WRs which I think is by far the least in the league. Newsome has really got to improve the way he looks at receiving talent and acquisition because it does not work.

i wish youd ever give any examples of what he should do differently. they spent their resources on the defense and then got burnt by the few talented offensive players all getting hurt before its even week 4. its pretty dang rude to always come up on the losing end of decent gambles tho. they gambled on pittas health after 2012 and he basically had a career ending preseason injury despite never missing a game before. they gambled on yanda, alex lewis and ronnie stanley being able to hold up the line and let them at least have a good running game. 2/3 of them hurt before week 3. theres other examples of them being hella punished by what otherwise would be very good bets. unfortunate

Yeah that Ravens team was really good but they'd inexplicably drop games against really bad teams that season. I'm still baffled they lost by 20 against a mediocre at best Charger team in SD.

Don't forget that Jacksonville gets the ball after the half. At this point I'm kind of hoping the Ravens break the season injury record. We're probably already close.

im fairly certain we would break our own record from last year or the year before? they run together

Our personal record is 20 from the Flacco injury year. We had 19 the year before that. The record is 27 from the 2011 Jags. We only need like 9 more so I say go for it.

I don't live on the eastern shore I live north of the city. But there's actually a lot of places to bird here and in the surrounding counties.

One of the best spots in MD for rarities is at the end of the boardwalk in ocean city called Sunset Park. It's like nothing. It's some lovely little tiny park you'd never expect to have birding. A couple years ago there was a rock wren there. Now there are like three Clay-colored sparrows, a sedge wren, and a Lark Sparrow all seen there recently. I was there once a while ago and there were like three common redpolls just hanging out. If I lived down there I'd make it a point to check that every day I could.

how many of those 16 players on IR are actually important losses? if its a lot that fuckign sucks. nothing is worse than a potentially good season getting derailed by injuries, packers fans would know

danny woodhead was a huge part of the offense. yanda is arguably their best player and maybe the best guard in the nfl. alex lewis was one of their best rookies last year. tavon young was their slot cb and again one of their best rookies from last year. i think there are more big ones but it escapes me right now. thats 4 high level starters, not to mention losing an entire side of the ball's worth of players and then some is a massive blow regardless of how many standouts are hurt

oh yeah i forgot about pitta. and yes i include urschel as a huge loss, but we were talking specifically about IR players and he just retired out of the blue



zach orr was the ravens leading tackler last year as well. he had some weird spine injury that was found in the offseason and was forced into medical retirement as well
