The Malaki Starks, the Red Zone Scoring, and the Q4 Jump Scare

Monken frustrates tf out of me. His absolute stubbornness to do the 1st and Henry is gonna lead to our detriment. But lo and behold, we run PA on 1st and bam, positive yardage. We use Keaton a few times and BAM, positive yardage. Offense gets a B+ because: 1) Lamar survived against Flores defense, 2) we hung 27 on 'em and 3) no turnovers.

Defensively, a good game. I'd give them a B+ as well. Forcing 2 turnovers and absolutely limiting both Jettas and Addison will help. Naylor had a bullshit flukey ass catch, but credit to him for the concentration. Marvin can kiss my ass for getting burnt early in the 1st and not sacking McCarthy on that 4th down, but he want to talk about botox. Get tf out of my face with that bullshit. Green is coming along and welcome Jones as well. Shout out to Starks for that 2nd INT.

It's quite funny that we were essentially inches away from taking damn near all of the points away. Hamilton jumps up and that's a deflection on their first drive. Should've been a block on their FG attempt but of course with our bullshit luck. And again, Humphrey or whoever makes that sack and it's another turnover on down. A win is a win. IDGAF how, but just get the win. I think we finished the game without any major injuries as well. That's always a big win.
 
Another first for the Ravens........ the Ravens were 0-2 in Minnesota all time against the Vikings. With the Ravens win, they finally get their first road win in Minnesota.
 
Ro’s pick was a good catch, the ground didn’t assist the reception. And the PI call against him was bizarre… uncatchable and he didn’t hit the guy until the ball was long gone. Crazy.

Imagining this line with them and Madabuike and Jones makes me wanna cry

Of all our players with expiring contracts, Jones is the only one playing like he's worth paying.

Linderbaum escapes a lot of criticism because the Guards are even worse.

I think it’s the opposite, 64 struggled because he has subpar guard play on both sides

Definitely true but if he was as special as his reputation I don't think things would look as ugly.

I've never been a massive fan because I think wins at the line of scrimmage are much more important than blocks downfield - you can get them from a blocking tight end or whatever - and he's only ever been average at the line. With all the needs on both lines I don't see a strong case not to 80/20 him with Bullock.

I think he works good with a mauler beside him, but right now it’s like we’re expecting him to play that role and he’s just not built for that

Only 2 out of our 5 starting Olinemen are worth a damn… and here we are having EDC-type talks about nickel and diming one of em.

EDC got y’all brainwashed.
 
I said this in the game thread but I’d like to apologize to Starks and his defenders… dude’s been playing out of his mind recently
