I just don't see a very good team in Baltimore. I have only two real concerns for this game.

1) Turnovers are always a great equalizer. Dak cant keep putting the football on the ground, and he may see a game plan from Baltimore similar to what Phillly did to him.

2) Baltimore has an offense that honestly is pretty bad, but they do have big play ability. Our secondary is a little beat up right now, and Steve Smith, Mike Wallace, & Perriman are more than capable of big plays down the field.

Don't lose the turnover battle, prevent the big chunk plays and this should be an easy win for the good guys.

I think Dallas is first right now in fewest big chunk plays given up. Doesn't mean some won't happen though.

No doubt Marinellis defense is designed to prevent the big play, and has done a damn good job of that thus far. But with Claiborne out, Church out, and i'm not sure what the status of Scandrick is it does concern me a bit. Hopefully we can get some pressure up front this week.

I don't think a strength of schedule argument is really worth getting into, partially because we haven't exactly taken down Goliaths this season either and partially because there aren't really many upper-echelon teams anyway.

I do agree that their defense hasn't faced a lot of elite offenses. I expect their defense to be tough Sunday, to provide some frustrating moments, and to certainly hold to fewer picks than we have been scoring in recent weeks.

But I have the utmost faith in our offensive line and run game at the moment.

It's not like I don't respect their defense, but if we soundly beat them, the everybody will be looking to bash them. I mean 2 of their wins were against Cleveland and they struggled in both of them. They lost to the Jets!

Anybody saying this is our biggest test yet really is not looking too closely.

By the way Isaih Crowell and Cleveland put up 133 yrds on them

Was Ben the QB when they won that game?
Did Romo play when Dallas beat the last 7 teams?

Just sayin.......it seems it CAN be an excuse for all other teams 'cept Dallas.

Did we forget Dallas trots out a rookie?

Too much Flacco Magic. Just like Eli, he can turn it on at ANY point. It may not be often but there's always the threat.

We get everyone's best shot no matter if we are winning or losing...we are going to get that and then some with an 8-1 record...everyone raving about our OL...everyone raving about our rookies...and this is the Ravens first trip to the new stadium.

Yes, it was Ben's first game back from the knee surgery.

He looked bad in that game...night and day vs how he played in Dallas game. My neighbor is a big Steelers fan. He comes over to watch them because we have the Sunday Ticket. Dallas and Pittsburgh played at the same time that day so we were watching on different TV's but I still saw some really poor throws from him when the Dallas game went to commercials. He said there were many more than what I saw.

I don't understand what you are arguing?
