MNF game thread, Ravens at Raiders

[Reid1boys]

If we had the Ravens D, we'd be Super Bowl bound.

40 seconds left and that great D couldnt hold them...... again, the same things you blast the cowboys for every weekend, happens to team after team after team around the NFL every week. It isnt just the Cowboys that have bone headed plays, bone headed penalties, bone headed play calls. The great John Harbaugh couldnt get Waller covered all night. Carr threw like crap to him most of the night, but he was open all night. Where was the adjustments to stop him????

 

[Big D]

what were the final stats?

doesn't matter.

The Raiders did what we couldn't do.

The Raiders, people.

They beat Tampa Bay?

Good start to NFL season, not many dogs. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the games.

 

[Risen Star]

They beat Tampa Bay?

They beat a real contender.

They beat a real contender.

There is only one real contender in the AFC and that is KC. Ravens are not even close to a real contender as long as Lamar Jackson is their QB.

Cool story.

I watched. Good game. Just like with all the other games, it is hard to tell much after only 1 game. But, I like what Gruden is doing with his personnel. He is slowly getting his type of guys on the field.

One thing I noticed is Leatherwood, the tackle from Alabama looks pretty awful. I suppose he could develop into a better player but right now he looks like Terence Steele.

The only thing the Ravens contend for are the first round of the playoffs. Dallas has accomplished that feat; as a matter of fact, they will do it this year.

Dude, what are you talking about? The Cowboys defense last year was HISTORICALLY bad.
No, not every team fields a HISTORICALLY bad defense.
The Ravens D, by comparison, may have its lapses, but it isn't HISTORICALLY bad.
And Dak was working with far more weapons than Lamar Jackson, not to mention he's more well-rounded than Lamar. If the Cowboys had the Ravens' D with our offense, the game wouldn't have needed overtime.
