Any given Sunday

We played defense against Baltimore like only a 2-7 team with nothing to lose can do.

We frequently played with both safeties in the box and CBs in man coverage with no help.
 
I dont think this was any given Sunday, it looked really prepared for. This game has been circled, this Ravens team has humiliated us for decades. This was us protecting our house, win streak, and season, 1-game, at a time. Flo's teams all play well at end of season.

Listening to Hunt post-game on NFL Network, he mentioned the locker room is together, and all 3 retired players shook their heads as in that's super important. Most 2-7 lockerrooms are toxic, I've experienced them. It'll be interesting if Hunt becomes a star from this illegal TD. Seems to be a very likable guy.
 
The defense played with the intensity that won us 10 games last season. Until last night, we hadn’t seen it at all this season. Guys from every level of the defense were swarming all over the field. Javon Holland is going to be a stud. The kid was tailor made for our defensive scheme.

Actually, if you watch Flores when the Defense was out there, you will notice he was calling out plays for the Defense this game.

He took special charge of the Defense to make sure they were aggressive min 1 of the game, and stayed aggressive until that final INT.

It’s the zero blitz/amoeba defense that brought us all our success last year…that for some reason our staff needed 7 losses this year before they were ready to bring back.

This is why you play the games, and never close the door on what will happen in a game, before the game ever started.

Have to admit ... I didn't see the win coming .... Great to see our team put it ALL together for a big home win. It's hard to watch a Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hyde show each week... here's to more of last night :cheers:

I wonder, will we see some lower level coaching changes at the end of this year, or will we try to "coach up" our coaches?

I don't care which path they take as long as it's successful!

I do believe we need to constantly be working on preparing our coaches, as much as we work on preparing the players.

Down side? An emotionally draining win. Can the team shake that off next Sunday?

Yes, yes they can, I hope - LOL

On second thought, do you mean shake off being a winning or being a loser; it makes a lot of difference - LOL

I believe we are about to emerge as a team that will be competitive in all our upcoming games.
 
Baltimore has owned us for the good part of 20 years, i'm still asking myself if we just dominated the Ravens last night.

Also what makes that win so much more gratifying is what happened 2 years ago when Baltimore came to town.

This team is still extremely flawed and deficient, but that was a great win.
