Tonight on Charm City Beasts! Injuries and inconsistency have doomed the Ravens since their Bye Week. After losing in Foxborough to a Patriots team that is only known for their run game leads concerns up front. The main reason Baltimore has struggled defensively this year. INJURIES AND LOTS OF THEM! Considering that Calais Campbell and Brandon Williams are now out of the lineup because of leg injuries the concern will be who will step in? The good news is that Jimmy Smith and LJ Fort will be back from their latest date with those Body Bags. On offense there has been some controversy over the last few weeks but it’s like the defense is due to banged up players. Now that Nick Boyle is lost for the season with a Torn ACL their 3 best run blockers from last year either retired or are on IR for the rest of the season. GOOD GOD! The good news for Lamar Jackson is that Dez Bryant will be starting and they signed Luke Willson, and another lineman to help the offense protect the elite pass rushers.
This game for the Ravens this week is huge in every form there is. Not only is their playoff destiny on the line they get to face a hated rival that they have traded heartbreaking moments with, THE TITANS! The humiliation from that 70 degree January Night is in the hearts of every Ravens fan. Being a 14-2 team and losing in Round 1 to Derrick Bleeping Henry and Dean Peas’ revenge story without scoring a single touchdown like in 2006 against the Colts. Nothing like standing on the Raven shield in the middle of the field before the game angries the home team. Despite Tennessee jumping out to an early lead Lamar and the offense did everything they could to keep up despite getting multiple false starts in the Redzone that prevented them from running away with the game. Despite the score being 14-7 and King Henry being put on lockdown, Baltimore had the chance to extend their lead. (Fake Punt) CHRIS HORTON HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW IT IS GOING TO BE A FAKE PUNT WHEN THE BACKUP QB IS ON THE FIELD! How many times did you guys review this during practice this week? IF JERRY ROSBERG WAS STILL THE SPECIAL TEAMS COACH THAN THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH PREPARED! (PAUSE) Despite the mistake by the special teams Tennessee ended the half by getting a field goal after roughing the passer call on 3rd and Long that prevented the Raven D from ending the half on a high note.
Despite the mistakes in the 1st half Action Jackson went right down the field by throwing a nice Touchdown Pass to Mark Andrews. “SEE I TOLD YOU HE COULD THROW IT DEEP AND OUTSIDE THE NUMBERS!” At 21-10 this should be smooth sailing right, the bad news is that Ryan Tannehill finally woke up and led them down the field to cut the lead to 21-13. The good news is that the Titan D can’t stop Lamar and the offense before Devin Duvernay ran a bad route resulting in an interception. But who cares, Derrick Henry has been held to 44 yards at the beginning of the 4th quarter this is revenge for last year! The problem was that Tannehill was in the zone and carving the Baltimore secondary until reaching the 5 before a nice defensive stand, as long as they hold on to the ball and the lead we will be fine and BEEP! Ref: False Start Offense #70 and 89, DJ Fluker has been terrible ever since they put him at Right Tackle! HOW MANY TIMES IS HE GOING TO GET CAUGHT OFF GUARD WITH THIS! It’s ok though, Tennessee has to go 90 yards against our D that hasn’t given up a touchdown since the opening drive. WRONG! Tennessee gets inside the Raven 15 and is down to their last 2 plays and (AJ Brown becomes Beastmode) HOW DOES NOBODY ON THIS DEFENSE KNOW HOW TO MAKE A REGULAR TACKLE! How much draft capital and cap space have we spent on defense, Can we not let them gain 5+ yards after first contact. THIS ONE OF THE MOST DISGUSTING EFFORTS OF TACKLING I SEEN SINCE THE RAY LEWIS ERA ENDED! The good news is at least they have Lamar, he looks like he is putting together his first big boy drive of his career. Look at them they got all the way down to the Titan 10 the High-End Talent will save Harbaugh again. (False Start on Hollywood Brown) ARE YOU KIDDING ME NFL OFFICIALS! Every time they get a chance to make a statement they get in their own way by means of REFBALL! But of course there is Justin Tucker who has been saving this team for a decade and has tied the game.
OVERTIME! As long as we don’t do anything stupid we will win. What they did was go 3 and out thanks to the offensive line and play calling turning into Joe Flacco from 2017. The bad news for us is King Henry has torched us since the 4th, HOW WILL WE STOP HIM NOW!? “Henry gets the carry, cuts back and is gone, 20, 10, 5 TOUCHDOWN!” MOM IT HAPPENED AGAIN!
I can’t feel my face after this kind of defeat. I had a feeling that they would blow this game and my god they did. The Ravens do this nonsense every year. You can’t help that it has been a tradition that has been going on since Brian Billick was head coach. You were defeated by a team that was even more injured than you guys. A golden opportunity completely wasted because the team couldn’t stop tripping over themselves. 13 years Harbs, 13 years as a coach and you still can’t manage a game clock. How do you tell the equipment guy to save the blackout uniform for the Cowboys game in Week 13. Why can’t the defense tackle a big body receiver or Running Back? What are they going to do against the Steelers put Patrick Queen at Tight End? Why in the world was Mark Ingram on the field for only 5 plays, 5! He is your best RB and you told him to sit on the bench for much of the game! Let’s make it worse, why did you challenge the play where Lamar was short of the first? If you let that situation play out we would have to pass the ball with 30 seconds left and could have run it into the endzone. JUST STOP IT!
Do you want to know something? Thanks to Henry’s heroics he is now in the same level of hatred as Troy Polamalu was 10 years ago. Not to mention John Harbaugh is once again back on the hot seat with Greg Roman. If he gets fired their next coach possibly could be BOBBY PETRINO! The same Bobby Petrino that blackballed the Falcons, the same Bobby Petrino that was with Lamar in college. HE COULD BE THE COACH IF HARBAUGH GETS FIRED! Yep they would be done! To me this reminds me of the 2005 Steelers in some cases. They had a ridiculous season one year but ended in a brutal home loss, but then struggled with injuries and bad luck and many people said that they would miss the playoffs the next, yet rallied to win 8 straight and the Lombardi. In my opinion this road begins on Thanksgiving against those Steelers. In my opinion it is either going to be a repeat of 2012 in which they came out of nowhere to win it all or 2007 in which they go on a massive losing streak to end the season thus getting everyone fired. JUST MAKE DON SHULA AND THE 72 DOLPHINS PROUD FOR ME PLEASE!
