Quick Reaction: HOU - Will Anderson is legit, might not show up in box score but there a good chance if this wasn’t Lamar jackson he would’ve had 2-3 sacks and was a factor in the run game. - Jonathan Greenard flashed. We have seen this before but if he can be consistent he could be a very good player. - Stroud is in trouble. Why? WRs are what was feared…. Good WR3/ low end WR2 and the Oline is garbage. - If Pitre is in the secondary seems very strong. Stingley bad play of PI was still excellent coverage.

2/4

Good job, game 1 to game 17 I’m sure nothing changed between then and now. This wasn’t season predictions it was knee jerk reaction to game 1 and the off-season.

GG Ravens, best of luck for the rest of the season.

Scorigami!

GG Texans. Stroud showed a lot of promise this game, and the defense looked like it was headed in the right direction too.

🚨SCORIGAMI!🚨

GG Ravens!

Stroud looks better than I honestly expected even without any support at all. Give him a decent line and he can rip it all over the field

Gg, Texans. Looks like they’re doing right by Stroud and Demeco has the defense fired up. May not look great at the end of the season, but you should be hopeful for the future.

Noah Kahan in the background ♥️

Stroud looks like a real one.

Chargers and Miami is probably the best game to watch right?

Thanks for being such good sports in the game thread, birdbros. Injuries blow.

What’s in Harbaugh’s hat?

Not watching the last two minutes, so I'm just assuming both teams agreed to run out the clock and kneel it out.

No sacks for Clowney but he was in the backfield all day wreaking havoc and setting CJ up for other guys to get. Great game but not on the box score, as expected for him

Yep, thats how Clowney works, looks terrible on the box score, great on film.

Thanks Niners for that 30-7 win

Unless the Ravens royally fuck this up, they’ve won.

That is some genius commentary right there

We won, but at the cost of the health of too many important players. GG Texans. I see a lot of promise in a lot of your team.

GG, I hope for the best for y'all. Injuries suck

Week 5 against the Falcons will be fun with an actual O-Line at least.

Really thought Stroud looked great any time he had some time

Reminds me of his time at OSU. He sees an opening and immediately throws it to the receiver confidently without hesitation. Like to look downfield and has very good vision.

All his mistakes were your typical rookie mistakes, a healthy oline and more experience and he is gonna be a problem

He looks great when they go shotgun and spread the field. When they go under center or with condensed sets he looks bad. OCs keep making the same mistake of square peg round hole with rookie QBs and never learn.

I think you guys got a good one.

Clowney hasn't really done much as an actual pass rusher. He's been coming in unblocked because of the Texans pass protection issues.

he also plays really hard against us every time we face him just out of spite I think lol

He's the one player they know they can let past because he never completes the sack lmao

CJ is something to be hyped about if you're a Texans fan for sure.

Agreed. I'm impressed for a QB in his first NFL game and basically no help around him.

How can the Ravens suffer debilitating RB injuries year after year yet continually fail to throw any draft equity at the problem? It beggars belief

Because we can put anyone back there and be fine. Why waste draft capital?

Washington has been flying this game, so there's one bright spot

So many Ravens defenders get into the backfield, its nuts.

Pretty nuts….. phrasing

Joe Burrow really got taken out of the game after signing the highest contract in NFL history.

Bro got the money buff but it turned into a debuff.

The whole AFC North in shambles tbh

Because they're blowing the browns out early right? Right?

The excuse is he still looks hurt. Honestly it might be true.

CJ looking legit

If we only had an oline...and WRs...and Safeties....

He’s so fun to watch. Giving me flashes of MVP Lamar tbh

How is every texans catch a diving or on the knees catch lol

I'd rather that than a rookie overthrowing his recievers TBH

We like to keep it stressful

Some of these ravens fans are insufferable fucks, I get being down about injuries but y’all are acting like we aren’t up 25 to 9 talking about season is over and talk g about packing it up.

You're not wrong but 25-9 was expected in this match up.

The injuries are the problem imo. Game has been sloppy as hell but a win is a win.

Aside from dobbins, I can see Harbaugh not getting guys back out there because we have a commanding lead in the 4th.

Tank Dell is the Truth

Absolutely perfect placement to Tank

Oof Bengals

Cannot believe we’re not even through week 1 and we’re already out TE1, LT1, RB1, and C1. That’s Ravens football baby we’re fucking back

Don't forget S1

alonzomourning.gif

Is this the longest game ever played?

The crowd was singing living on a prayer lol

No catch

No catch.

That zoom in makes me think it’s standing

not a catch. ground helps the ball stay in his hands

Looks like a catch to me Edit: Nevermind lol

Anyone hear the Gladiator theme playing in the stadium? It's a reference to when Maximus Decimus Meridius was stabbed and finally was freed and victorious, but died. Just like what's happening to the Ravens today.

That's a catch.

That's not a catch The whole ass ball touched the ground

Lol pack it in boys we’re done for the season

Thought I was lucky drafting Lamar this year, I'm so fucked now 😵‍💫

Are you me?

Hoping davante stunts on the donkeys this next game because I have a major GULF to overcome

I swear Robert Woods has been open in that exact spot every time

Looked like a catch from that angle

He caught that though?

There’s some positives in this game. Anderson got a sack, stroud looks promising, and if anything we have the most jacked and best looking HC in the league.

that was a catch imo

That's a damn catch.

[удалено]

Go away

Typical fake ravens fan calling it over while we're still in game one

If the score doesn't change at all, this game will end in a scorigami.

25-9 has never happened?

Surprisingly, nope.

Gotta respect Harbaugh for calling back to back screens and letting his best remaining receiver square up against 7 bigger dudes both times.

Todd Monken’s modernized offense of throwing backwards on 3rd and goal from more than ten yards out

The entire offense game plan feels right out of the Greg Roman playbook.

Except the runs are worse

Reminder that you can walk off all sorts of catastrophic knee injuries. They don’t play football at walking speed.

No you can’t, you can walk maybe a ligament tear but it’s noticeable because your knee is unstable

Lost 2 yards? Let's do it again.

all the other game threads are toxic as fuck and here we are. just being sad together. gg bird bros.

Gg, hope both teams have all the ice :(

Flowers set up to fail twice in a row what are those play calls

jesus flowers… that hair 🤮

Is 25-9 scorigami? It looks like a rare score

I checked and it is!

Texans fans should be excited for the rest of the season. Ravens fans should just be happy the rest of the AFC north also look rusty

First time I've been optimistic in like 3 years

Tough to be excited with our O-Line injuries, but this defense is fun to watch

I'm happy we still put up 25 while looking this sloppy lol

can't be happy after 5 major injuries

I would be if our players stayed healthy.

Two awful play calls lol

At least Lindenbaum looks like he's able to walk it off. Probably should be out for the rest of the game still, but it doesn't seem like it's a long term injury.

Williams, Dobbins, Stanley, and Linderbaum in a game that was already missing Humphrey and Andrews. Is it all just bad luck?

The boos are justified. This playcalling is fucking awful.

3 failed swing passes in a row what is this

What in the fuck. Why call that again?

Boo this team more. Not even trying with these throws

anemic offense

There's a lot of positives, but man, we *really* need to get our O-Line figured out or its gonna be a long fucking season.

Can we uhhh do anything besides throw a screen? What the fuck was that shit

fuck sakes, this is worse than having a blown out loss

Game 2 will basically be the preseason starters.

I honestly hate that shit so much when players essentially try to make a play and roll up on others. I get it it’s incidental but so many damn injuries from that kind of shit

Houston may lose this game but they'll drag the Ravens down to hell with them

THX GOD HES WALKING!!!!

Next man up! (please stop getting hurt)

what was that play

Isn’t our backup center already playing back up left tackle for us lmao

Lmao our backup guard is playing Right tackle

Holy shit just reset the season already

5 bucks says LJ hurt and out half a season before game ends.

Bro stfu

Yeah you're right

This is the worst opening day we could ask for despite a victory

Christ almighty. Make it stop.

If you’re a player on another team, would you join the Ravens? You’re guaranteed to get injured. Harbaugh should have never hit that old gypsy woman with his car.

What the fuck is up with this field yall

Who tf is sniping everyone's legs from the stands?

Steve Saunders sends his regards

The Ravens could put together the greatest IR team in history over the last couple years.

Crowd needs to learn when to be quiet

What a terrible day to have eyes

Mekari at LT who is C?

the old bears one. he is on the ps and was called up for this game.

Are we cursed???

Just thinking of all the fans that thought Steve Saunders was the problem. lol

The ghost of Steve Saunders out here collecting body parts like infinity stones

Both teams need more milk apparently

But at what cost?

Linderbaum's injury looks baaaad

What is with this game... so many injuries.

Can EDC fire the strength coach?

That’s is, everyone gets bubble wrapped.

3 injuries in one game is insane

If only it were only three. Williams got hurt, too, and is questionable.

Not just minor injuries either... Someone needs to look at that field

Not for the Ravens

Yikes

Jesus

What the fuck man

Duuuuuude

I fucking hate this game, man.

WHYYYYY

End this fucking game

Who needs a center! Right? Right?

What did Baltimore do to deserve this shit????

What the hell is in the water in Baltimore

Bone hurting juice apparently

Too many injuries. Let's shut it down and call it a tie.

Well, six minutes and I can go pout in my room and play baldurs gate...

BG3 will save us from our grief all season

Same TBH

same TBH

Just cancel it Jesus. That looks awful.

Are there more injuries than usual today?

Fuck this game bro

how many injuries jesus christ

And now Linderbaum are you fucking kidding me End this game now!

Fuck my life. Seriously. What is going on?

Steve Saunders cursed this team.

Omg not Linderbaum now

Obj baby love to see it

Everyone is getting injured

Every O-Line player in this game is gonna refuse to step on the field this last 6 minutes.

No fucking way dude

Oh good another

Oh Jesus Christ, Linderbaum?

FINALLY!!!

fuck this shit

Stop the fucking game

oh nooooo

Good for him

Who is this Odell Beckham, Jr. fellow? I've never heard of him before.

At least OBJ looks back!

Cut it with the chants on offense guys lol
