The Baltimore Ravens Are 3-0 after beating the Jaguars: Here is the good, the bad and the ugly:

The Baltimore Ravens are doing something that is mind boggling. What we are seeing, is a team that hasn’t played up to their true potential and is winning any way. This is a game that needs no sugar coating. The Ravens won, but they need to start improving. Before we vent our frustrations, here is what the team is doing right.

The Good:

The Ravens defense was phenomenal in this game. Blake Bortles only had 194 yards and was picked off three times. The Jaguars rushed for only 48 yards. Bortles was sacked three times and had a few passes tipped. The Jaguars scored two touchdowns but nothing was given. The Jaguars earned 17 points and it wasn’t enough to beat the Ravens.

Eric Weddle played huge in this game. He dislodged the football from a receivers grasp multiple times in this one. Terrell Suggs had two sacks, and he finally looked like Terrell Suggs. Timmy Jernigan impressed in front of his hometown crowd.

The blocked field goal by Brent Urban was huge. The Ravens won by two points, and that play prevented the Jaguars from adding three points to the board. The offense wasn’t doing much of anything. They had three good drives and a bunch of “oh come the heck on” inducing moments. Blocking the kick was a sensational play that the Ravens needed.
