Chargers At Ravens Pre Game Discussion (Wk 6)

[powderblueboy]

The Ravens have a pretty good rush defense. Their pass defensive pressure steps in later parts of the game though.


Ravens vs Chiefs:
Towards end of 3rd quarter:
-Chiefs drive led to Mahomes Interception.
4th quarter:
-Chiefs drive results in fumble recovery by Ravens.

Ravens vs Colts:
Towards end of 3rd quarter:
-on 3rd and 6 Wentz incomplete pass. Colts score FG.

4th quarter:
-1st Colts drive led to Wentz incompletions so they settled for a FG.
-2nd Colts drive led to Wentz incompletions and a sack. The FG attempt was blocked.
-3rd Colts drive with 39 seconds left at their 25. Result is missed FG.

Ravens vs Broncos:
4th quarter:
-1st Bronco drive led to punt
-2nd Bronco drive led to punt
-3rd Bronco drive led to a sack and an interception


Ravens vs Lions:
1st Half:
- Lions had 6 punts in all 6 1st half possessions. Too much of a hole for Lions to dig out of.

Ravens vs Raiders: (only loss)
OT:
-1st Raider drive Carr is intercepted.
-Ravens fumble ball leading to Raider TD drive and win.

i'm not certain what the point is here:

Lions, Broncos are two of the worst NFL offenses
Colts offense is below par.

It seems like they were very fortunate in the 4rth against the Chiefs (two turnovers), Lions (made 66 yard field goal) & Colts(missed 3 field goals in the);
you'd like to win games because you execute well in crunch time...not the case here.

Of their 3 wins they outscored their opponents 42 to 3 in the 4th quarter. The other win over the Lions they forced them into 6 punts the first half. The 1st point I'm trying to make is they can produce enough pass pressure (although not translating to sacks) to be respectable heading into the 4th. Yes those teams sucked but I'll give the Ravens credit.

4th quarter scoring:
vs Colts 24 to 3 in 4th/OT
vs Broncos 6 to 0
vs Chiefs 12 to 0

vs Lions they forced them into 6 punts in 1st half

The 2nd point I'm emphasizing is the Chargers lead the NFL in 4th quarter scoring. Point 1 + Point 2 = The Game of the week material of 3 tough closely contested 3 quarters between two 4-1 teams leading to Herbert displaying another level of 4th quarter heroics not seen by the Ravens since Derek Carr's mascara eyes were finding open guys downfield on them.

Already in the GDT thread.

No Roundtree? Must have Kelly activated

[Xenos]

He hasn't played in what two games? Torn Muscle? How many weeks or months for that to heal? One week turns into two weeks and then two weeks turns into three etc. etc. Right now I'd be happy if he came back for the last four games and a potential playoff run...
No?

:whistlin:

He’s played every game this season except this one.

All the talk is that the Chargers defense will not stop the run - its a new defense that I expected to see a slow start from like all defenses early in the year. It will tighten up this week and they are obviously expecting the run. It will be a good test.

I don't think the Ravens running attack is all that good. This won't be a big test of our run defense.

[BT3241]

I agree it was no test at all the Ravens ran all over them.
