Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 13, 2019 Author Posted December 13, 2019 Wow, I’m surprised the Ravens didn’t go for it on 4th and 2

This whole debate existed when Roman was calling plays with Watkins and Woods. I don’t think that getting the ball to recievers on the outside of the field is what Lamar does well. I noticed this last week too. He throws passes to the middle of the field really well and has since college. That’s why the TE’s are so important in this offense as PSE catchers

They're loaded at tight end, but I think they could use a major upgrade at WR. The Ravens have been trying to rehab their WR group for as long as I can remember. Drafted Breshaud perriman in the 1st (bust), marquise brown in the 1st, signed Crabtree in FA (gone), Jeremy Maclin (FA bust), mike Wallace etc etc 1

They don’t go over the top. They rarely throw to the sideline. All your routes are hard hitting slot routes/crossers in the middle of the field. Well, Marquise Brown just took some punishment for those catches.

With Kyle Orton under centre, Watkins was actually super productive under Greg Roman.

Someone like AJ Green would probably be happy to go there and have a shot at playoffs or more. Mentor the young guys.

I can’t find a passing chart that’s cumulative but I think you’re right.

They don’t have throw to the sideline because he doesn’t hit those passes very well.

Count the number of times a game its more than 1. Doesn't this matter in your QBs development? To be fair I haven't watched every single Ravens game but judging by the ones I have and what I know about Roman I would guess that this is generally the case.

You are asked to block alllll the time. I agree, a veteran receiver probably wouldn't want to go there, but I think we'll all underestimate how much NFL players would want to go play with the reigning MVP in an offense that scores as many points as they do. The guys they'd attract would be the type of high character guys that you'd want your team to go after. High maintenance divas wouldn't want anything to do with it, but I don't think those are the type of guys who help you win games anyways. 1
Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 13, 2019 Author Posted December 13, 2019 I covet us having a big guy who would go up and get that pass like Robby Anderson just did.
DCbillsfan Posted December 13, 2019 Posted December 13, 2019 That's 3 games in a row, Ravens D gets a sack fumble inside opponents 25. 1

I can’t find a passing chart that’s cumulative but I think you’re right. That’s why I was impressed with the Bills defense to take out the running game. And yes, despite what some analysts said - the Bills did limit Lamar all around. If you take away the blown coverage on the 61 yard touchdown and the shorted field where they started at the 21 yard line. They held the Ravens to only one sustained TD drive which was helped out by a bad punt at the 49 yard line. If you can somehow bottle up the Baltimore ground game (big “if) , I don’t think he’s able to win the game with his arm. We might see this play out in a few weeks 1
