    Official Packers vs. Ravens Discussion Thread

    Packers lead all-time series 4-2.

    Last meeting: November 19, 2017. Ravens defeated Packers 23-0 at Lambeau Field. Aaron Rodgers and Aaron Jones did not play in that game. Brett Hundley passed for 239 yards with 0 TD's and 3 INT's.

    Offensively, Ravens rank 12th in the NFL in passing yards and 3rd in rushing yards. Lamar Jackson has passed for 2882 yards with 16 TD's and 13 INT's. Jackson leads the Ravens with 767 rushing yards and 2 TD's. TE Mark Andrews has 926 receiving yards with 6 TD's. WR Marquise Brown has 866 receiving yards and 6 TD's.

    Ravens rank 31st in pass defense, having surrendered 3459 yards with 21 TD passes and just 6 INT's. They have 26 sacks. Ravens have the NFL's #1 run defense, having surrendered just 1111 yards and 10 TD's.

    Packers are currently favored by 5, although that may change depending on the health of the 2 QB's. Over/under is 43.5.

    Well, if MM were still designing the offensive game plan, the sign over the visitors' locker room would read " Abandon all hope of a running game, ye who enter here."

      One thing is for sure. The Ravens will try to run the ball to control the clock and keep Rodgers off the field. If the Packers defense can get off the field and get the ball back for the offense, Rodgers should have a lot of success.

      Another thing is Ravens almost always have good special teams. It's a point of emphasis with them. They ranked 6th last year. Harbaugh was a special teams coach in Philadelphia for 9 years.

        Adams need 77 yards Sunday to pass Jordy Nelson for 5th place in receiving yards for the Packers. 220 to pass Don Hutson. That one may have to wait.

          Ravens are pretty thin in the secondary. I wouldn't rule it out, but why wouldn't they double Adams and force us to throw to Scrabblehands?

            I think containing Jackson is key - he is their best rusher. Got to have that lane integrity. That is one thing the Barry defense does better than a Pettine defense. And this is the best-tackling Packer team I've seen in years.

              They seem to have forgotten that fact in the first half against the Bears though - so many missed tackles. Is it just me or does it appear that Barry's defense is less complex than prior DC's (Capers and Pettine) and so allows the defense to think less/instinct more and thus play faster?
              60% of the time it works every time.

                I’ll be interested to see who makes it onto the practice field this week. Time is running out for Zadarius, Bakh, and Jaire to make it back for any regular season game this year. I certainly don’t want their first game back to be a playoff game.

                  I think Bakh and Jaire will be back soon. They're both expected to practice this week. Less optimistic about Z.

                    Almost all of the country gets Packer game. Joe Buck and Troy Aikman with the call. Northwest, including Alaska gets Seahawks at Rams. Chris Myers and Daryl Johnston with the call.

                      That's actually a really good game to be relegated to 2nd place and such a small geographic location.

                        Today's practice just a walk-through.

                        Tom Silverstein

                        LaFleur said that GM Brian Gutekunst and his staff are scouring other teams' practice squads and street free agents to see if there are players that can help them on special teams. He said they will be considering starters for special teams.
                        Matt Schneidman

                        LaFleur on the Ravens: “Their special teams is No. 1 in the National Football League, so it’s gonna be a great challenge for us.”
                        Tom Silverstein

                        LaFleur reiterated that RT Billy Turner probably isn't out for the season, but he wouldn't say when he would possibly be back.
                        Wes Hodkiewicz

                        LaFleur: "Ja (Alexander) will be out there for some individual work." David Bakhtiari and Za'Darius Smith won't practice. #Packers
                        Tom Silverstein

                        #Packers coach Matt LaFleur said the team has not had any positive tests thus far this week among coaches and players, but he said it's a day to day thing the way things are going in the NFL.

                            Bakhtiari did participate in the walkthru. Guess MLF was mistaken.

                              Ravens seem to have a backup QB they like. Saw a report on one of those sports talking-heads shows that suggested they think that the backup at 100% is better than Jackson at 70%. The backup apparently can run pretty well, too. I'm sure The Flower is watching tape of the Ravens with both QB's playing. This is going to be a knock-down, drag-out fight on Sunday.
