Sojourner

Some of the better coordinators in recent years sustain that mentality; Lebeau Spags Capers Bellichick Keep the opponent uncomfortable and under duress as much as possible. Like the saying goes, pressure bursts pipes. Maybe they feel it’s our pipes who’ll burst more often than not 😂

Yes, but you asked how. Can’t answer that unfortunately, maybe someone else can?

No clue Pete. Don’t think it’s been disclosed yet. At least I didn’t see anything in the thread appertaining to the news/report.

Happy Birthday dude! Thanks for keeping this place up and running, it’s appreciated!

Simply put its going through the game plan and assignments. Pretty much mental reps of what’s installed for the game.

Is there a team who has as much of not more potential at the WR position than Green Bay?

Worse than the color rush?! 😱

Had to be an injury from kicking all that butt on the field Sunday.

Crediting guys who haven’t played a snap from last season to this on our team means the holes were filled either way. The two spots that have different players actually were just as good if not better on a return from the guys that previously occupied those roles. Returning all those starters but 2 is full strength, especially if you go by the first official depth chart; Tre is the only guy not there. If it were week 5 for example and they were pencilled starters who went down or were all of a sudden unavailable, then yes we aren’t at full strength. Again, the only guys we don’t have from last year were Von and Douglas. Both have been lambasted on here for sub or play. Plugging in Joey Bosa and a rookie CB in Strong, who would have been Hairston, is exactly where we were to finish and start the season. The names may differ but the standpoint is exactly the same. The exact starting 11 they issued for defense minus Tre. Improved in somewhat as Bosa > Von. I see a 90.9% lineup from the first issue of the depth chart as being healthy. Obviously you don’t. Agree to disagree.

I can see that. I bump him into borderline elite for his playoff performances personally

Definitley what he saw after that fumble.

So the defense last year was: AJE/Von Oliver Jones/Phillips Groot Bernard Milano Taron Benford Douglas Rapp Hamlin/Bishop The only guys not here now is Von and Douglas. One replaced by Bosa, the other by Hairston/Tre/Strong. Offense is the same group back with the exception of Cooper who wasn’t really worth much anyway. Palmer will have the same production. The rotation players last night on defense were 2 draft picks from 2025 (Sanders/Walker) and one from 2024 (Solomon). thats 18 out of 22 starters returning. I’d say that’s as healthy as you’ll get. Again, Tre back from injury and Hairston can’t be included as much as the suspended players in OG and Hoecht. If you think that perspective is “hating” good on you man.

There is no hate. So I don’t know where you’re getting that from. You made a point we weren’t at full strength but we clearly were. Offensively and defensively. And your rebuttal about suspended defensive linemen is a wash as they had their main rotation from last year with additions. The only guy from our defense that didn’t return is Douglas who was replaced by Strong. Seems your hustle is to double down and argue invalid points that make you feel right. Nice to know your own “lol” struck a nerve. “lol”

Surprised this isn’t being mentioned more considering we almost lost the game because of it. Why he left the player (Hamilton) on the inside free to rush is boggling.

We were missing what? An aging CB on the comeback train and a rookie who’s never played a down in the NFL… Pretty much exactly where the defense was last year man. In fact, better shape given the additions to the defensive line. “lol”

Just heard the guys on Get Up! Talking about this… Rex made a decent point; The Ravens are coaching like they have the dominant defenses they’ve had from yester-years. Theyre offense is the team now, should have put that ball in the hands of the guys that dominated Buffalo’s defense for 50 minutes of that game. Absolutely. Not to lump the 2 point chasing on but he redeemed himself for those follies.

Thank goodness Deone Walker letting Hamilton get inside on the FG attempt didn’t change the ending to that game. The Wheels might very well have come off the wagon for a few fans right there 😂

Opening Day at the Ralph… Nevermore.

Probably and whilst that is totally understandable and logical to do, the game wasn’t out of reach coupled with it being opening day of the final season at the Ralph… there was plenty to stick around for.

I bet the GDT was in full meltdown 😝 To one extent I get when a unit on the team is playing bad opening week and there’s frustrations, the team is fully healthy for the most part and they’ve had all season to prepare for a revenge game on Baltimore’s part… BUT, like you said, the game wasn’t even remotely out of reach. The defense only needed to make one to two stops for us to have a chance. Kudos to them; they stepped up when it mattered! Double down on the fact Baltimore is one of the best built teams in the league. It was never going to be a cakewalk.

251 passing yards in the 4th quarter is nutty. They were? I’ll have to give the game a watch and listen to that. You can understand though given Lamar’s stats for last season and, unless I’m mistaken, the same people vote for the All-Pro as well as the end of season awards. Don’t think I’ve seen a unanimous first team AP not get MVP if they’re a QB before. Ravens have a top to bottom better roster than Buffalo. Shows how great Josh is. You give him that team and I don’t think Baltimore are sniffing a 40 point game. That to me is the true test of an MVP. Remove said player and what is the team doing? For the QB position they’re all absolutely essential to their teams success but I’d argue for right now in the league, Josh and Joe Burrow add more wins to their programs. Thankfully the former is on the good guys side…

Don’t think it was Brady who adjusted. He was forced to let Josh go at it. That’s just my 2¢ though.

You missed out man! we were sat in 336, shame on those fans who left the game. There was quite a few.

Was a rough showing from the majority of the defense. Oliver was about the only one who was decent the whole game. Dorian Strong had some rough moments but for his situation he did great! Small shoutout to Dorian Williams too, he played reasonable. Biggest concern is the Safety position. Rapp and Bishop were atrocious. That needs improved ASAP.

Best game I’ve attended in a while. Thought the Pats playoff blowout the other year and the 9ers late last season were great but man… Josh is THE man! Shame on all the fans who emptied out of the stadium when it was still a winnable game! Go Josh! Go Bills!!!
