Ravens offense is very avg, they cant run the ball and the passing game is mediocre at best.. They have played very weak teams outside of Oak.. The raiders carved them up and we can too. It'll be a close one of course but I say skins by 3

This would be the first team with a legitimate winning record KC and crew beat.
Not this week though. Ravens 38 Skins 20.

The Giants were 2-0, not legit enough?

Honestly, no. Look at them against Minnesota - they just aren't a good team and I think that's going to get more pronounced as the year goes on.

I don't disagree with that, but I do not think the Ravens are a lot better (if at all). They beat the 2-2 Bills 13-7 (and, yes, I know what the Bills just did, but they have had some clunkers too), 0-4 Browns 25-20 (after being down 20-0), 1-3 Jags 19-17 (no real achievement there), and lost to the only team that they have played with a winning record in the 3-1 Raiders (at home) 28-27.

Don't get me wrong, the ravens can definitely beat us. But no one should fear that team. Their great D has had to play the likes of the Bills, Jags, and Browns in the first 4 weeks -- a good defense ought to keep the points and yard totals low.

Really no shame in losing to the Vikings at home. They're a pretty damn good team.

It was a one score game late too....
They are a really good team. Did not think they had enough talent to be so good, but -
Zimmer and Norv. What a perfect pair. Arguably the best OC in the game, and Zimmer is a defensive guru. Quite a pair.

Id say to this point we have been more impressive than Baltimore. We beat the Browns worse than them, and the Giants > Bills or Jags. We should have beaten Dallas. They should have beaten the Raiders. None of this means anything on Sunday, but to say the Ravens have been impressive and the Giants and Skins have been less impressive is not accurate imo,...

It all comes down to KC and the run defense. We had receives open on Pittsburgh and he missed the throws. We should have scored 30 on them and we didn't. I think KC is fine; 300 yards 3 TD and 1 INT.

We are not fixing the run defense until next year or the following year. If Norman sits on their number 1 receiver the secondary should be ok.

If we are plus two in turnovers we will win. 31 - 28 nail bitter.

If we are even or lose the turn over battle; Ravens 38 Skins 24.

Well holy crap, I wish McVay would take a look at this (empty backfield geez):

FOOTBALL OUTSIDERS: Innovative Statistics, Intelligent Analysis | 2016 OFFENSIVE LINES

Our OL is number 2 in run blocking based on the F.O. metrics.

In two years, we have developed a top 10 offensive line. There is a possibility we have two lineman in the Pro Bowl.

What's amazing is we are 2nd best in run blocking, yet like second to last in running attempts. Not smart

Have to get Jackson more involved this week. Get him going early. Him and Reed need to have big days.

Worse 3rd down defense in the history of the NFL and it's not even close.

I don't see how we win this. Unless we go with the same gameplan we did again Cleveland.

If we win the turnover battle. We will win, but that's the only way I predict
