Baltimore Ravens vs. Washington Football Team: Week 4 Q&A
Next question:
@Cancelpennies asks: Here you go: anything can happen on any given Sunday, what are the biggest liabilities you see going into the game with the WFT? What could cause the ravens to lose?
Answer: The only thing that worries you is the offensive line. It hasn’t been great so far this season. It is possible that Ronnie Stanley’s shoulder injury will prevent him from playing against the Washington Football Team. D.J. Fluker at left tackle against a defensive line that isn’t messing around, that’s not exactly what you want to see in front of Lamar Jackson. Still, let’s for the sake of due diligence approach this from all angles. Can the Ravens lose?

One way for the Ravens to lose is to try to show off the passing game to nullify concerns from last week. The correct course of action is to run the ball merrily down the field. The wrong course of action is to double down on abandoning the run just to show that you can win that way. Play-calling is the biggest liability for Baltimore in this game. If they run the ball a good bit they should win. They need a balance but it has that balance has to be heavily skewed to the ground game.
If the Ravens play like they did against the Chiefs they can lose this game. If Jackson misses open targets the Ravens will leave points on the field. If Mark Andrews doesn’t do a better job catching the football, potential touchdown drives turn into missed chances. The longer the Ravens keep Washington in this, the more they are at risk. The Ravens can only lose this game if they flirt with danger. If the Ravens play this game with a head on their shoulders, this is a Baltimore win. If they play their game this is a Baltimore win. It’s fairly simple. The better team should win this game.
