It’s the 2nd half of the season so you know what that means. New qb. That’s to go along with the previous seasons, where it was Davis/Hill and before that Bradford/Clemens.

Can the Rams beat the Ravens? I say yes. Defense, just enough on offense.

Anyway this isn’t the Baltimore we remember from legend. More O than D. On O, more passing effectiveness than rushing effectiveness.

They are 10th on offense.
23rd in rushing yards.
9th in passing yards.
3.9% sack percentage on O, which is very good.

20th on defense.
26th against the pass.
10th against the run.
5.7% sack percentage on defense, also good (ranked 10th)

Their games are pretty much all close. A pretty evenly spread-out point differential of 26 in 9 games, which is just under 3 a game of course. The biggest score differential from any 2015 Baltimore game is 8 points in a loss to Arizona. Win or lose, the other 8 games avg. a 2.25 point differential. Should be a tough game.

Not one of Flacco’s best seasons, and not among his worst. The infamous Steve Smith, formerly of Carolina, is their leading receiver. When he last played against St. Louis in 2013, Smith was very vocal about what he thought of the Rams D and its chippy attitude.

What the heck are ground-foxes? In relation to air-foxes and/or sea-foxes?

Enny-hew, I’m sorta agreeing with you on this one. Can’t make any more positive predictions with this team. Not even sure Super-Gurley and Ghost-Of-Welker can help these schizos…

Cook said, that prior to the Bears game,
the team decided it was going to “start a new season.”

So they are really just 0 and 1.

Oh. I didn’t realize the board had so many Ravens fans. So when the Ravens are on defense, do you chant “nevermore!” at the opposing offense?

Yes the Rams can win. As a matter of fact they will win as long as their defense returns to form and they get at least average play from Keenum.

No.

Not while the offensive line is doing “Cotton eye Joe” and it’s a new line of dancers every time you blink.

I suspect Baltimore will just line up to stop Gurley and see if Keenum has any better luck than Foles.

Ravens: 16
Rams 10

Offensive line? When did that ever matter in football? Besides, Robinson is working to correct his ‘technical’ issues. There’s a whole big article about it.

So relax.

Rams got this.

C’mon. Scoff. This routine is old. Where the Seattle fans on the board pretend to be Oakland fans so they can openly root for the Ravens.

Then accuse US of being “paranoid.”

Right.

QUICK ANSWER
A group of foxes is called a skulk, leash or earth.

Yes, well, had your original post said “earth” foxes, then I would known what you were talking about. But it didn’t say that, it said “ground” foxes.

I think that was intentional. An intentional ground, if you will.

Let the Admins deal with you as they will.

Now that is just messed up. Who thinks of these things? Are there really people who devote their lives to coming up with this stuff?

Not sure if unkind fits the Ravens anymore.Maybe when Siragusa, Reed, Suggs and Lewis were playing, then they might be considered unkind. Nowadays, ennnh, not so much.

Hoping for a “W” Sunday, not confident enough to predict one.

Go Case. What is a group of Keenums called?
