Pass Happy Ravens Eat a Loss

The Baltimore Ravens just ate their fifth loss of the season. Last game Joe Flacco nearly had his head taken off by a vicious hit and went into the concussion protocol. I thought the Ravens would run and pound the football this week but instead Joe Flacco threw the ball 52 times which resulted in 2 interceptions. Running back Alex Collins had just 13 carries and Javarious Allen had just 7 carries. The result was a 23 to 20 loss to the Tennessee Titans.

Even the New Orleans Saints which are known to be a passing team with a better quarterback in Dree Brees had a better run/pass balance this week. Dree Brees only threw the ball 27 times while running back Mark Ingram had 16 carries and Alvin Kamara had 10 carries. This illustrates what a good run/pass balance looks like and the result was a 30 to 10 Saints win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Why are Ravens so pass happy especially when Joe Flacco just had his head smashed to the point where his ear almost fell off the prior week?

Saints Come Marching Into Town to Play Ravens

The defending Superbowl Champion New Orleans Saints come marching into town today to play our beloved Baltimore Ravens. If the Baltimore Ravens win this game, they will redeem themselves for losing several close games that they should have won. A win today would not make up for the loss against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but it would help ease the pain.

Most analysts believe that the Saint’s quarterback Drew Brees is going to pick apart our secondary today. Today’s game would be golden opportunity for the Ravens defense to prove that it has what it takes to get us to the Superbowl. In order to be the best, you’ve got to beat the best. If the Ravens could pull off a victory today, it would definitely give everyone more confidence moving forward into the playoffs.
