- Lamar had a bad game overall, but came up clutch in the end. Led the game winning FG drive almost perfectly. Missed 3 big plays though, including one that got picked off. Suck that he's been throwing well on the non nationally televised games but on the first prime time one he looks terrible throwing. - Mike Macdonald called a perfect game plan for the Bengals. Burrow looked so confused out there. - Defense still needs to work on tackling, but they did much better yesterday and limited a lot of extra yardage. - Marlon Humphrey is in rare form this year. As lock down as it gets. - Marcus Peters was on his game yesterday. He's just about regained form. - I don't know why JK Dobbins is still on a pitch count but it may be time to stop that. - Stanley looked great for the 1/3 of the game he played. I'm not a fan of rotating LTs (who the hell does this) but the line was on a different level when he played. If this eases him back then I'm all for it. - Odafe Oweh gets held so damn much. I apologize to Steelers fans who I called out for the "James Harrison gets held every play" stuff in years past. I'm not saying Oweh is on his level, but the man is practically getting tackled regularly with not one call. - The Marcus Williams injury will hurt the defense. - Greg Roman was in his bag, scheming was to get the ball in Duvernay's hands. This has been Roman's best season imo, not because plays are working out but because the plays have just been good. In 2019, the threat of Lamar made a lot of those plays happen. This year they are just good plays. As mentioned above, Lamar missed 3 passes on plays where G-Ro called something that got a receiver wide open 30+ yards down field - Duvernay may be the most aware football player I've seen in years. He's saved plays and turned them into big plays in each of the last two weeks. - First division game ends in the first divisional win. With Cincy already have 2 losses in the division (how the hell did they lose to Trubisky), it helps the Ravens against their biggest threat. Cleveland could be a dark horse in the division also. Steelers are already locked into 4th place. - The potential for this team is crazy. The defense limited 2 top end offenses the last two weeks, they are getting into a groove. The offense hasn't been great, but since Lamar was named starter, the one thing the Ravens offense does well every season is score. They'll bounce back, hopefully this week against the Giants since I'll be at that game. - This team STILL has players to get back. Gus Edwards, Tyus Bowser, Rashod Bateman, Marcus WIlliams, and David Ojabo to rush the passer. Then there's also getting Stanley back to playing full time. They should continue to improve week by week.
