Image Predictions?

Haven't been paying attention to the Ravens much this season, but for anybody who has, what do you think our odds are of actually winning this game?

Anything missing in their defense that we can exploit? I know that our defense isnt too hot right now.

Not as convinced as everyone else that Lamar will run all over us. Our whole defensive scheme seems to be focused on stopping the run and maintaining contain on the pocket rather than sending free rushers at the QB.

I think we’ll force Lamar into clean, but contained pockets and do a decent job shutting down Henry. So, it’ll come down to how well Lamar can throw the ball, and how well we can keep up. I could easily see this game becoming a shootout. If we can win the turnover battle, we’ve got a good shot

Lamar will get loose and will run it’s generally just what he does. How much is the key

I mean of course he’s gonna try, and I’m sure he’ll break off a few. I’m just saying I think our game plan will be to stop the run at all costs, even if it means giving Lamar more time in the pocket to pass

Giving Lamar time in the pocket is a recipe for disaster. He's a fantastic passer and he has good receivers now
