No Lamar.
Season hanging in the balance.

Need to steal a win here or it might be all over already.

Outside of Lamar this is the healthiest the ravens have been all season. Bears have a laundry list of injuries.

Just. Win.
 
The wildcard spots have really tough competition this year. You have the Bills and Chiefs who have a tie breaker against us. Also either the Chargers or Broncos depending on who wins that division. Jaguars will also be in the hunt. 10-7 is a minimum to get in this year, I think. 9-8 without tie breakers will have you just outside the group.

Lamar is so fragile. Either that or the team is over protective.

It's likely a tougher injury than we know. Evasiveness makes Lamar a dangerous passer. If he can't scramble he has to let it go early. If he tries to extend the play and tweaks it trying to thats not good either.
 
I have no idea what is going to happen today. Not having Cooper Rush starting means the offense might not be terrible. The Bears are unfortunately not as awful as expected. They are not great but they are only slightly below average.

Well reports have said he was cleared to play today. I think imo that Ravens decided to roll the dice and play Huntley and on a short week Lamar on Thursday.

Playing Lamar twice within a few days with a hamstring issue could be a really bad idea .

If I had to guess, we certainly want to win every game here forward. With that said, maybe the Ravens gambled.

1. Home game
2. Rest of the team is presently healthy outside of Madubuike
3. Return of Patrick Ricard could boost run game
4. AFC Miami away game on Thursday is also must win and would debatably be more important since that game is in Conference
5. If we win this, we are good and Lamar will get extra rest between Miami and Vikings, also away
6. If we lose to Bears, it sucks, demoralizing, but 10-6 could still get you into the playoffs--but you are playing Russian roulette the remainder of the season
 
Jaire inactive after the bye… he’s cooked huh
