I'm so sick of the same old same old from the critics, the media, and everyone giving our quarterback Lamar Jackson a bunch of crap for being the quarterback that he is.
September 11: At. New York Jets (1pm, CBS - WJZ)
The season will open at the New Meadowlands against Zac Wilson and the New York Jets. I am expecting Zac Wilson to take a big step forward but the Jets to take somewhat of a step back despite a rather strong draft... Zac Wilson last year did not do very well as he was thrown into the fire right away. I'm expecting the Jets to do better but maybe just one or two wins better. They signed TE CJ Uzomah to be a blocking presence and also welcomed Laken Tomlinson to shore up the line.The Ravens should come in angered at the criticisms levied at the team and Lamar Jackson. I expect this to be a win.
September 18: Vs. Miami Dolphins (1pm, CBS - WJZ)
Tua Tagavailoa should have a good season next year but the Dolphins have never been real good in Baltimore, having lost their last 3 games there. The Dolphins improved on defense but they're still rather weak in the secondary despite signing Xzavien Howard to a long term deal. Tyreek Hill joins the Dolphins on a 4-year, $120M deal in exchange for a train robbery of draft picks. Cedrick Wilson will be a great flanker. Terron Armstead was signed in free agency to shore up the Left side of the line. Raheem Mostert will more than likely be their starting RB. Last year, the Ravens lost a game they should've won, however, they were in fact injured to hell and back and did have some major drive closing issues. The Ravens always come out strong on "home openers" and I expect this one to be a win. The fans will be loud and proud.
September 25: At. New England Patriots (1pm - FOX - WBFF)
Mac Jones is a dynamic quarterback and the Patriots did make some re-adjustments to their defense but not enough of an impact on their secondary. Jones could run into the sophomore slump this year. They added DeVante Parker, Devin McCourty, and Jabrill Peppers. Trent Brown was signed to a short term deal to help out the line. This game might be tight... I can't put a win or loss on this one.
October 2: Vs. Buffalo Bills (1pm - CBS - WJZ)
Ok... We just played the ENTIRE AFC EAST in 4 straight games. Did you all notice that? Josh Allen will be out for blood after losing to the Chiefs in the AFC Divisional last year in OT which... was a classic, no doubt but... what did the Bills do to fix their secondary and special teams? They did big on the defense with the addition of Von Miller, Tim Settle, and Jordan Phillips. But again, THEY DID NOT FIX their porous special teams that was ranked 29th last year. The last time Buffalo came here? They got their bells wrung, 47-10.
October 9: Vs. Bengals (8:15pm - NBC - WBAL)
Last time they came to Baltimore... they embarrassed us. I think it was probably the first time we gave up 40 points in quite some time... Bengals hadn't had a lot of space to work with but they did make some moves with adding former Raven Hayden Hurst and also welcoming B.J. Hill and Ted Karras to their respective lines. The Ravens are going to be out for revenge over last year... I personally want to see Joe Burrow put on his ass and if Lamar can beat Joe Burrow... Trust me, the critics will find every excuse in the book to say why Joe Burrow did better. Look for the Ravens to win this one in style.
October 16: At. New York Giants (1pm - CBS - WJZ)
The Ravens have never beaten the Giants at New Meadowlands and the Giants did not make the moves necessary to be a contender. Daniel Jones had 5th year option declined and last time vs. the Ravens, he was massacred. Ravens coming up with 7 sacks and holding him under 200 yards passing. Have the Giants not learned that he is NOT A GOOD QB yet the media continues to make excuses that he is. Jones has potential but I believe he's in the wrong system. If Baltimore comes up with a big win vs. the Bengals the week prior. I'm sure the Giants will be running for their lives. Saquon Barkley is a big question mark? Can he stay healthy. I look for the Ravens to win this one.
October 23: Vs. Cleveland Browns (1pm - CBS - WJZ)
The Browns will Brown. They signed Deshaun Watson who is facing a 8 to 12 game suspension from the league. They bring in Brissett and Rosen to back him up... Amari Cooper was acquired in a trade. David Njoku signed a big deal in the offseason. Despite winning vs. the Ravens at the end of the season last year, they didn't look very good at all. The loss of Baker Mayfield is going to suck badly. Look for the Ravens to get revenge.
October 27: At. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8:20pm - Amazon)
Is Brady trying to prove something by coming back at age 45? Is he? I believe wholeheartedly that the fans (not of Buccaneer loyalty) are getting tired of Brady. There's nothing more he can win. He has SEVEN TITLES... He has reached the pinnacle of achievement and further, why don't the NFL just prep his damn bust for the hall of fame already! This guy just doesn't quit. Chris Godwin and Russell Gage are back with the Bucs. But the Buccaneers did nothing to fix their defense despite over $34 million in cap room! Leonard Fournette showed up looking like a fatty at training camp!!! Dangerously overweight and apparently looking like Warren Sapp. This game is on Amazon and I'm personally no fan of Thursday games... Keep the games on Sunday... we have a quick turnaround and not enough time to practice and gear up for the game. This is why the home team is so dominant on Thursdays. One good hit on Brady... PLEASE.
November 7: At. New Orleans Saints (8:15pm - ESPN - WMAR)
Ok, we just played a primetime game and they are giving us another one for Monday Night Football? Maybe the Ravens will have an advantage over the Saints that game since they will have "partial" rest after a tough one against the Buccaneers. The Saints welcome Tyrann Mathieu and Daniel Sorenson. The Ravens will also have to contend with Andy Dalton against if Winston were to get hurt. The Ravens have dealt with the Superdome very very well the last few times they played there.
WEEK 10 - BYE WEEK
I expect the Ravens to win the bye week with rest and readiness for their next battle vs. the Panthers.
November 20: Vs. Carolina Panthers (1pm - FOX - WBFF)
We got plenty of rest and now we have to deal with Baker Mayfield and a rather strangely built Carolina Panthers team that didn't do much in the offseason except make that move. Carolina is 0-6 all-time in Baltimore. Bradley Bozeman returns to his starting roots. The Ravens will have to deal with Terp D.J. Moore who had a phenomenal year last year.
November 27: At. Jacksonville Jaguars (1pm - CBS - WJZ)
World cup is still thankfully in the group stages and USA plays Iran on Nov. 29th. Jaguars went out and built a team for Trevor Lawrence as they had over $90 million in cap space and they went on a spending spree to fix that piece of crap team they had last year under Urban Meyer. I don't expect the Jaguars to really turn a corner as they are still dealing with a crappy stadium, pathetic ownership, and moreover, personnel issues. Maybe a 2-win improvement but they're not going to trip up the Ravens here.
December 4: Vs. Denver Broncos (1pm - CBS - WJZ)
Denver traded the lot and then some for Russell Wilson. Randy Gregory joins the Broncos on a 5 year deal and D.J. Jones will load up the line with the load of lard he carries. Ravens could have a time against Denver, but they haven't won here since 2012.
December 11: Vs. Pittsburgh Steelers (1pm - CBS - WJZ)
Steelers shat the bed this year with a lousy free agency, a terrible draft, and losing Ben Roethlisberger (thank God). I do believe that they will be on a downward trend this year and for the foreseeable future. I know damn well they're not going to put Kenny Pickett in the line of fire that quickly. I expect the Ravens to come out gunning and ready to go because after last year... Ravens have had it with the Steelers messing up eveything.
December 17 or 18: At Cleveland (TBD):
No mas. World Cup Final actually sounds like more fun to watch.
December 24: Vs. Atlanta Falcons (1pm - FOX - WBFF)
When was the last time we played a game at home on Christmas Eve...? Atlanta did the thing and jettisoned Matt Ryan to the Colts.. Don't know what they were thinking but they did. They made some bold moves with the signing of Mariota, Edwards, Jarrett, and so on. They signed a lot of players to 1-year deals but again... THEY STILL HAVE DEFENSIVE AND SPECIAL TEAMS ISSUES! Have we not learned, Atlanta. Well this could be a very big Christmas Eve win for the Ravens but what sucks? This is our last home game for the season... SERIOUSLY NFL!?
January 1: At. Pittsburgh Steelers (1pm - CBS - WJZ)
Happy 2023. The NFL will have to compete with the Winter Classic. What fun. The Steelers should be out of the playoff picture here.
January 7 or 8: At. Cincinnati Bengals (TBD)
Why can't we have the big games at home?
--
I expect a 12-5 or 13-4 season out of the Ravens this year. The Ravens are going to be out for blood and revenge this season.

2022 Ravens Regular Season Preview
Media Case BALQB08: Lamar Jackson vs. The NFL, Critics, et al.
--
The First Ravens Court of Media Judgment is now in session. The Right Honorable Judge, Joshua, presiding.
--
Hi all, you may stand, just take your seats.
--
I'm trying to figure out what Lamar did to the NFL that makes the critics hate him so much. Is it because he's a quickfire quarterback? Is it because he can extend plays and drives? Is it because he can win on his feet? Is it because he can shorten games and sustain drives? What is it that drives these critics bonkers?
Now, a lot of us remember the great Redskin quarterback Doug Williams. Doug Williams was probably one of the better quarterbacks when it was just a "running era" in the NFL where running backs got the majority of the yards. Williams was a tireless worker, first to practice, big guy (6' 4", 225lb), big arm, and very selfless. In fact, when Mark Rypien was acquired... Doug and Mark had a great working relationship together.
Lamar Jackson and Joe Flacco actually had a great working relationship as well. Jackson was a rookie and learned very well and picked up the game mightily quick once Flacco was benched (6-1 stretch run).
But what is the NFL and the media's problem with Lamar Jackson?
I don't understand everyone's bs with Lamar Jackson because it does not make sense.
Their criticisms:
1. He runs too much. Ok, so far in 3 total seasons? 3673 yards, 6.0 yards per rush, 21 TD. He would've had another 1,000+ yard season had he not got hurt.
2. He's not accurate. 64.7% career mark. Would be higher if receivers caught a lot of easy passes. I'd say 60% or better is a good mark, that's the benchmark, unlike in past times, it was 52-56% or higher to be considered accurate.
3. He's selfish. What do you mean he's selfish? He does best under pressure and out of the shotgun. If there's no one to throw to, he runs for it!!!!!!!
4. He hasn't won a lot of big games. Ok? That's a lie. But every time he wins a BIG GAME (I.E. vs. Indianapolis with a 16 point come back). They'll always say: the Defense bailed him out or... the tired old "Well, why don't you do it against a real team. You know, a playoff contender!"
--
These are the same critics that give Joe Flacco a lot of flak in 2012 when he confidently: "I feel like I am the best quarterback in the NFL. I wouldn't be successful if I didn't feel that way." Everyone laughed but he backed it up with the most historic performance in playoff history to which even Brady applauded.
Well that's a very bold truth. He backed it up with a Super Bowl Championship outgunning both Manning, Brady, and then an up and comer in Andrew Luck and Colin Kaepernick.
--
Basically, what's going to happen here is that Lamar Jackson is probably going to have to earn his way to a new contract. Eric DeCosta plays it very smart with his team because while he wants his players to get top dollar, he does want them to perform at the best of their abilities.
Yes, Lamar's mother will be a tough customer because to be frank, she is making sure her son doesn't end up like a lot of these athletes that get a BIG money contract only to end up broke in the end because they didn't invest well or fritter away their money.
Lamar Jackson isn't going to do the whole "hometown discount thing" and personally, I don't want him to be greedy... But he's going to command at least $40M-$45M a season.
--
Remember back in 2010 when the Ravens played the Steelers and a fan was heckling T.J. Houshmandzadeh? He boldly said to the Steelers fan: "You just watch! I'm going to catch the game winning touchdown." Sure enough, he caught the ball and he went back to the heckling fan who proceeded to hand him a ball, asking him to autograph it, T.J. happily obliged and probably told the Steelers fan: "Don't your face feel tight."
I wanted to know who said what they said about Lamar: "even if he wins 12 MVPs, he's not a QB1. "Who was that? Inquiring minds would like to know because that'll set the team off and if Lamar were to win, trust me, I am sure that NFL Defensive Coordinator who said that will probably get the game ball and say: Now do you think I am a good quarterback?
--
This is the stuff that angers me. Our team has never been given a fair handshake in this league.
--
Joe Flacco was very successful as starting quarterback (106-72-0. Incl. Playoffs) for the Ravens. Bringing home a championship for us in the 2012-13 NFL season (XLVII) and has the most road playoff wins of any QB in NFL history.
--
Lamar Jackson has work to do but he has been a very successful quarterback (37-12-0)... So the criticisms are unfounded and he's young (25), so he's got plenty of time to back his talk up. He can do it and we know he can.
--
I therefore find the media guilty of being too judgmental. Their sentence, improve upon their praise of Lamar Jackson rather than discount him.
--
Leave the court quietly.

What's Lamar's Price Tag? Lamar vs. The Critics
This is your captain speaking,
You know what... what got a problem... Kyler Murray just a deal worth $46,100,000 per season ($230.5M total / $160M in guaranteed money) and now we got to figure out a way to sign Lamar Jackson to a long term deal without breaking the bank DeCosta seriously has to think future as well.
Ravens will have $32 million in space to sign players next year. Just be happy we aren't the New Orleans Saints as they will be a whopping $70 million in the red for next year. The Chicago Bears next season are projected to have $90 MILLION... you read that right. $90 MILLION in cap space
How much would you say the Ravens will have to dish out to keep him around as a Raven?
I'd say it's going to take up to at least $40 million at the minimum, but at the maximum, maybe $52 million per season which at this point... That's ridiculous. Quarterbacks are making ridiculous money right now because yeah they have to be the leader of the offense. But again, you hear the critics whine and sniffle about how Lamar hasn't done this and that... We also have a very tough customer in his agent which is: His mother.
The pundits and haters are just trying to ruffle up Lamar Jackson's feathers for the season and that to me is just absolutely the WRONG THING TO DO because I think Lamar has certainly had enough of the critics.
Isn't this the same criticism that we saw when Joe Flacco was our quarterback? How the critics just rumbled on and on about how he didn't produce and so on.
Let's review:
Joe Flacco beats the New England Patriots, 31-30 throwing for 389 yards...
Critics: We know that field goal wasn't good, plus the Ravens got favorable calls
Joe Flacco has the game of his life vs. Pittsburgh in 2011 with a game winning drive...
Critics: Elite? What? No way. He didn't do anything special.
Joe Flacco has the greatest playoff series of all time
Critics: He may have won a super bowl but he's not elite.
--
How about the 2019 season... the critics are already starting with Lamar...
Lamar Jackson vs. Dolphins:
59-10 win on his very first season as the full time starting quarterback
17/20, 324 yards, 5 TD
Critics: Wow big deal, That's great and everything, DO IT AGAINST A REAL TEAM!
Lamar Jackson vs. Cardinals
23-17 win
24/37, 272 yards, 2 TD, 120 rushing yards
Critics: AGAIN! DO IT AGAINST A REAL TEAM!!!!
Lamar loses two in a row.
Critics: See, I told you he can't do it. Two good teams and he couldn't beat 'em. He's not a real quarterback. He's just a running back.
--
Ok, we're 2-2 now... Critics continue their BS!
--
Now, the run:
Lamar Jackson beats the Steelers in Overtime
Critics: Yeah? They're injured to hell and back. Try again.
Lamar Jackson beats the Bengals.
Critics: You got to be kidding me... He didn't do nothing.
Lamar Jackson beats the Seahawks
Critics: He beat the seahawks, ok? So... again, they're floundering
Shoot, these guys will even criticize him on the BYE WEEK
Lamar Jackson beats the UNBEATEN PATRIOTS
Critics: The Patriots were 8-0 and hadn't played anyone yet... Lamar did good but Tom Brady outshined him.
--
Again, do you SEE a pattern here...
--
Lamar Jackson has the game of his life vs. the Bengals with "THE SPIN"
Critics: Oh wow, he beat a winless team, big deal! AGAIN, HE'S GOT A SOFT SCHEDULE
Lamar Jackson plays against Deshaun Watson where Watson was supposed to lay the Ravens out.. Lamar wins and IT'S STILL NOT ENOUGH!
Critics: Lamar didn't do nothing special.
Lamar Jackson vs. Rams:
45-6 win on his very first Monday Night Football game
15/20, 169 yards, 5 TD, 95 yards rushing. First player to have 5 passing TDs in his debut MNF game.
Critics: He beat the Rams, yeah? Ok, he's coming back to play against the 49ers, talk to us then.
Lamar Jackson vs. 49ers
14/23, 105 yards, 1 TD, 101 yards rushing
Critics: Defense bailed him out. Tucker's leg helped him win. Lamar? Didn't do crap.
--
Do you get it yet?
--
Lamar Jackson vs. Bills
Critics: Josh Allen was better, clearly better. Lamar didn't win that game. The defense did.
Lamar Jackson vs. Jets
Critics: He threw 5 TD vs. The Jets... We're talking about the Jets... This was the Jets... Lamar did nothing special.
Lamar Jackson vs. Cleveland
Critics: HE BEAT CLEVELAND! WHO CARES!
--
Ok, at this point, we are 13-2.
--
You know how the rest of the story goes.
--
Even if Lamar throws for 600 yards in a game, has 8 TD, and 0 INT... The critics will find some way to bash him.
This needs to stop.

RAVENS, PAY THE MAN!

Alright, Preseason is just around the corner and from all of us at Ravens Roost 117, Happy Preseason and Training Camp as we prep for the 2022 NFL Season.
Personally, I'm glad we had a tough go at last year and I'm hopeful that yes, Lamar Jackson will stick with us in the long-term but we need to focus on the now rather than the later on. Jackson is still young and with plenty of good years ahead of him but we certainly can't be brickbrained and let him just run off after this season concludes knowing full and well that we do have a tough customer in his agent, that being his mom, and she's going to want top dollar for her kid much like what Mahome-boy got ($504 million), Josh Allen ($258 million), or Matt Stafford ($160 million).
Now, Baltimore can't be stupid and let Lamar just jet. Ravens need to give him a worthy contract offer but at the same time, I don't think there's much more he needs to prove. Last year, Baltimore was injured to hell and back and for a patchwork team down the road, we stayed mighty competitive.
Baltimore will begin with 5 of their first 8 on the road which includes trips to New England, Tampa Bay, and New Orleans. The Ravens will need at least a 5-3 or better mark in that "Gauntlet" if they want to be in the playoff picture because more than likely, it will be Cincy and Baltimore fighting for the AFC North Title.
Down the stretch, we will need at least a 7-2 mark for a total of 12-5. Four of our final five games are against division foes but 3 of them are on the road, which flipping sucks because we never seemingly will get the big games at home.
--
Offensively talking:
Lamar Jackson is the key to the offense... I think he's going to get off to a start where he shuts his critics up. Remember that game against the Colts?
Patrick Ricard shed a few pounds in the offseason too so he's down to around 295lb.
The Ravens will be welcoming back J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards from injury as well as Ben Cleveland.
Rashod Bateman can be a number one wide receiver and personally, Tylan Wallace, James Proche, and Dein Duvernay should be back up to snuff
Ravens have a project player in Daniel Faalele who at 6' 8" 385lb can open some holes for our running backs with his brutal strength. Iowa's Tyler Linderbaum is a tough center with good discipline and strength. Ronnie Stanley will be back healthy and we will see the return of Tyre Phillips who shred some weight this offseason
Mark Andrews and Nick Boyle will be the top 2 tight ends for the Ravens. Charlie Kolar, who is a BIG DUDE, will probably be a 3rd tight end on running formations
Defensively talking:
We should have a tremendous group of defensive players with the likes of Bowser, Bynes (for a third time), Houston, Oweh, Queen.
Calais Campbell is back because he believes in the team.
You look at Armour-Davis, who is FAST ON HIS FEET! Humphrey, Clark, and Fuller are back healthy. Marcus Peters and Marcus Williams will be the damn bash brothers.
Special Teams:
Kicker Justin Tucker is the most accurate kicker in NFL History right now, I hope he has even better season this year
Punter Jordan Stout is the new punt man this year. 6' 4" 202lb with a strong leg.
--
Let's talk season
The Ravens will have 9 games on CBS (WJZ-13), 3 games on FOX (WBFF-45), One game on NBC (WBAL-11), and one game on Amazon Prime Video but will have be shown on either 13 or 11 per the NFL rules.
The games I'm not looking forward to:
At Tampa Bay on October 27. First of all, Tom Brady has REACHED the pinnacle of achievement already, there is nothing more he can win, all he can do is break records, and that seems to be all of what he is doing... So he's equaled Richard Petty and Jimmie Johnson in terms of single-player championships... But I am telling you, one good hit might just be his demise this season. He's 45... there's nothing more he can do to win... and what he did by un-retiring was just wrong. There's nothing more this man can do....
Vs. Miami on September 18. Last year, we suffered a humiliating defeat to the Dolphins, a game we should've won. Miami hasn't had a lot of success in Baltimore and personally, I don't expect it to come here, seeing as how they really didn't improve too much this season.
The game that is the most interesting:
At New York Giants on October 16. Ok, we just played a game at the Jersey Jets week 1 at New Meadowlands, so now we got to go back to New Meadowlands again to take on the Jersey Giants. I say that because THEY PLAY IN EAST RUTHERFORD, NEW JERSEY! THEY ARE NOT IN NEW YORK! I'm wondering if this is a first, a team playing in the same stadium twice in one season? The Giants have a new coach but the same problems: A sucky quarterback who can't throw for crap!
The game that ultimately determines our season:
Vs. Cincinnati Bengals on October 9. Now if you're like me and you're hopeful for a 4-0 start? Chances are, we might just get there depending on how we manage our four toughest games. Embarrassed last season at home by Cincy, it might be different this time because all Cincy did was talk trash. Big Smoke will be just a puff this year because with additions we made... It's not going to be a pretty game...
This is way I see the AFC North:
Ravens: 12 W - 5 L
Bengals: 11 W - 6 L
Browns: 5 W - 12 L
Steelers: 5 W - 12 L
Bengals really just stood pat during the offseason but they have Joe Burrow as their starter. Burrow I think is going to get brought back down to Earth this year because now that the Ravens have seen him in his true form and not his rookie form, Ravens know his moves.
Browns... they're just the Browns... You trade Mayfield, you give a FULLY guaranteed contract to a player that is going to have a huge amount of baggage hanging on his shoulders... I don't get it... How stupid can the Browns BE! Browns being the Browns.
Steelers... They made no moves, they had a D+ draft, and there is no more Roethlisberger (Thank God), but then again, they made a very wise move in selecting Kenny Pickett who does have a good arm, only problem is, the critics kept giving him crap about his hand size.
--
The Ravens had another solid draft (A+'s across the board) and personally, it's time for all the haters and nay-sayers to get off of Lamar Jackson's back. I think Lamar has something more to prove this season and ultimately, he just might do that.
--
There's so much more I can say in this post... But your guess is as good as mine.
--
This is your captain scoring the game winning touchdown and saying see you next time.
