The Baltimore Ravens were supposed to play against the Jacksonville Jaguars in England but didn’t bother showing up.
It was supposed to be a competitive game between the Ravens and the Jaguars in England. But unfortunately, the Baltimore Ravens team didn’t make the trip. Jacksonville dominated from the beginning.
Baltimore couldn’t get anything going on offense and the defense didn’t do much to stop the Jaguars offense. Not having Brandon Williams and Marshall Yanda had an impact on both sides of the ball. It just seemed like the Ravens were out of sync all game.
The vaunted defense that only gave up 10 points in the first two games gave up 44 points on Sunday. Blake Bortles had no pressure on him all game so you can definitely see that Brandon Williams is a big factor up front.
Was it jetlag that caused the Ravens to miss this trip to England? Was it the fact that they were out of their routine? Who knows what the factor is, but John Harbaugh didn’t get his players ready for this game.
This team reminded me of last seasons team and that’s not a good thing. If this Ravens team doesn’t fix their offensive issues, then they won’t be competing for a playoff spot. I could see this being John Harbaugh last season as head coach if things don’t improve.
It’s hard to see Joe Flacco get benched, but he wasn’t doing well. Is his back still hurting to the point where it’s affecting his play? It’s amazing to see how many injuries the Ravens have had since the start of training camp. Something must be done to prevent all these injuries.
