NFL 2017

Positives: D has been good despite getting smashed in time of possession due our offenses inability to stay on the field. tired late in both games but ultimately played well. hopefully Reid and ward aint out to long, we'll struggle without them.

Hyde has started the season well again, just waiting for that first injury to hit and hamper him all season like the last 2

Negatives:

The passing game is god damn awful, alot of it is howyer but goodwin and others have dropped some shockers that havn't helped him too. you can't win games have a passing game averaging like 4 yards per attempt, you just can't

we won't win more then 4 games, but hopefully the D continues to improve, if we get 1 side of the ball to be consistently above average, then there may be a light at the end of this dark tunnel. there is quality youngsters on our D that will only get better too

Jags are supposed to the sentimental home team given their experience in playing over in London, but all i've seen and heard says that the Ravens are gathering a lot of support with the way they are going about this trip, flew Ray Lewis and Johnathan Ogden over with them and have been very active in promoting the game and the team, meanwhile the Jaguars have been basically sight unseen all week

Brandon Williams out is pretty big, but our D is still full of stars and the pre-season showed we have plenty of depth than can help make Bortles sees ghosts and Fournette sees stars.

Although, being favourites for the first time in 8 years or something and losing is the most Cleveland thing they could have done.

what a bizarre week of results, maybe the players spent a little too much time focusing on how they were going to protest the orange dictator and not enough time on how they were going to beat their opponents.

not even through a half of football and we've lost Urban and Maclin, probably for the season the way things are going for us on that front.

surmo13 wrote:Exactly the reason I was against it to start with, there was no reason to suggest Flacco was in danger of not being there for the season opener, thus no reason to pay top dollar for a back-up we had no intention of using, especially when we’ve spent every season I can remember playing patty cake with the cap limit...

As the season drags on and Kaep remains unemployed, surely his price goes down... although since I wrote the above, Ray Lewis has shed light on the pre-season dealings, saying that he was going to bat for Kaep and the Ravens were close to signing him until his girlfriend decided to make a post on Twitter comparing Lewis and Bisciotti to a slave who defended his slave owner in Django, which has probably burned the bridges there...

pats look clear favs

AFC may have the 2 best teams with steelers rolling aswell but the depth in the confrence is a bit of a joke this year. the bottom 4 i currently  jags, titans, chiefs, ra and ravens, yuck


NFC meanwhile is full of surprising teams who look pretty good but its hard to see them beating the pats if they met in the superbowl
