Big Play Zay is Out! Who Will Step Up in Week 2? | Baltimore Ravens

Zay Flowers had an incredible game for the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1 finishing with 150 yards receiving and a touchdown before leaving the game with an injury. Zay Flowers, who has been the primary target for Lamar Jackson in the passing game, will be out in week 2 due to a lingering hamstring issue. The question today will be who will step up in the Ravens passing game? The Ravens no longer have clutch TE Isaiah Likely who is now with the New York Giants and will also be missing promising rookie WR Ja'Kobi Lane who is also out with an injury.

Many Ravens fans have high hopes that WR Rashod Bateman will step up in the absence of Zay Flowers. Promising young WR Devontez Walker will also have a golden opportunity to contribute. The Ravens will also need some help from veteran TE Mark Andrews and running back Derrick Henry to help keep pressure off of Lamar. We will find out alot about the Ravns WR depth and passing game today as the Ravens play the New Orleans Saints in the home opener at M&T Bank stadium.

Ravens vs Steelers: Dumb Asses & Dropped Passes

The Baltimore Ravens lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers today 17 to 10. I saw at least 2 TD passes that were dropped by our receivers. One was a definite touchdown dropped by Rashod Bateman. Nelson Agholor also dropped a would be touchdown pass. There was also fumbles in the game that overshadowed a good performance by the Ravens defense through most of the game.

One of the dumb ass things was going for it on 4th down before the end of the first half. The Ravens missed an opportunity to get 3 more points in what everybody knew would end up being a close game. It is crazy that we have a weapon like Justin Tucker and rarely have used him as of late. The other dumb ass thing was the play calling near the goal line in the 4th quarter. Why not just give the ball to Gus Edwards and let him try to pound it in 3 times? Instead the dumb asses tried to be cute and called a little shovel pass to Mark Andrews that went nowhere. Then they tried a risky fade pass that got intercepted. This game reminded me of the Colts game, the Ravens should have won but THEY DESERVED TO LOSE!

Ravens vs Brown: Injuries, Injuries, and More Injuries

The Baltimore Ravens continue to be plagued by injuries in the 2023 NFL season. During Lamar Jackson's contract negotiations, critics claimed that Lamar was not durable. The ironic thing is he has probably been the healthiest player on the offense this year even though he puts his body on the line every single game.

During the past three seasons it seems like the Ravens are cursed when it comes to injuries. Odell Beckham Jr. and Rashod Bateman are hurt already this year and will not play versus the Browns this week. The number of injuries is a serious concern for the Ravens. They fired their trainer from last season so they can't blame it on that this year. The good news is that Justice Hill will be returning from an injury and will be active for the game.
