Ravens had eleven sacks [MERGED] (2 Viewers)

[zatsnzapps]

The Ravens are notorious for an aggressive pass rush, so I think the game plan will be to use that aggression against them.

Look for Ingram to have a big game, especially on screens.

They had more sacks than Marcus had completions... that's crazy

Let’s see how they handle the best offence in the NFL first

 

[BelowZero]

Once again, the best offense the Ravens have played is likely the Bengals, whom they were beaten by. The Bengals offense was 20th or so the last time I checked. What are the Saints? #3. In professional football, that is a monumental difference. If the Saints play the way they're capable of and execute, a blowout (knock on wood, please.) isn't exactly out of the cards, especially when the Ravens offense is already quite minimal. Even if our defense goes awry again, I doubt they keep up with us in a shootout.

I hope the Ravens blitz a lot so we can beat them on some screen passes for huge gains.

Mariota is not an NFL-caliber QB. He is also playing hurt. The sacks he took were from holding onto the ball for too long because he is always looking to run.

They're not going to have another 11 sack game. Let them come in over confident so they'll be more devastated when the Saints offense just steam rolls them.

 

[Bartyboy]

30th ranked offense.

Sean has never beaten the Ravens, right? It would be a great omen if we finally get it done. That said, if Drew gets sacked 3 times, I would be in favor of Hill and Bridgewater. It's a long season and an AFC opponent. We need Drew for the long haul.

11 sacks with only 15 pass attempts... that's actually unbelievable. I know the sacks don't count as pass attempts but still. It's not like he dropped back 60 times. Titans must be some kind of awful.

 

[BELOWSEALEVEL]

We gotta take care of the ball.
Plain and simple.

We haven't beaten them since 2002... and 1-5 All-Time against us. I guess that they have every right to be... They even gave us our awesome kicker. So, yeah.

I was more specifically talking about their defense but sure....I hope the whole team reads those stats over and over this week. It reminds me of the Jack Nicholson line in Batman.......right before they come out the tunnel our offense is gonna be like "wait 'til they get a load of me."

I've been saying this on here for months; Baltimore's defense is good enough to be a SB contender.....if only they had a better quarterback.

This game will be a true test and we better hope our defense shows up against another bad quarterback.

Redskins were first in scoring defense too until they played us.

They had a bye week before they played us. Only reason they were first in scoring defense.

You have to love a game that features a team strength-on-strength fight.

But, like Mr. Brees said, our best is better than their best.

I think they were also first in average points per game. Before everyone has had their bye, rankings are usually ordered by x per game, instead of raw totals.
