00:00i i think joe on a day that was a you know a high scoring thanksgiving as many thought

00:05that ravens performance is incredibly concerning maybe the cincinnati defense has turned the

00:13corner some i know we'll get to this cincinnati piece of this in a second but bar jackson has

00:18not looked the same quarterback since coming back this quadruple confirmed that i think here

00:24against cincinnati and the ravens are now six and six and a tough schedule still ahead two against

00:33pittsburgh they never sweep them they go to cincinnati who they just got smashed by a trip

00:38to green bay and hosting new england the baltimore ravens right now to me joe being almost over minus

00:47150 to win the afc north is not something i can agree with no and we talked about it when we

00:54broke the game down right uh on thanksgiving that we're not sold on the defense as a whole

01:00right we're not sold on the defense to just expect this team to go on a 10 game heater is uh you know

01:06just unrealistic it's the nfl and and again their offense with lamar jackson is very inconsistent and

01:15again i keep going back to this they do not have uh an elite wide receiver core zay flowers is good

01:21he's not elite right rashad bateman's non-existent when he's in there isaiah likely yes and above

01:28average hybrid type of tight end and andrews as well but it's not like we have justin jefferson

01:34jamar james i keep i mean the best wide jsn i mean are you scared by this wide receiver core

01:41where when they fall behind and the rushing attack isn't there via uh derrick henry or lamar jackson

01:49are you confident in them to play with the deficit with again now lamar didn't throw a touchdown pass

01:57what is it three is it three straight first time in his okay first time against one a garbage defense

02:03a garbage defense that got ripped apart by teams like the jets yeah i mean come on now i i mean

02:11this is what we're talking about this is this is a middle of the road football team right now

02:17it's just amazing when you look at them and you look at obviously detroit or and all these results

02:24that played out you know these were the top teams to potentially make it to the super bowl

02:29and kansas city and they're fighting for their life yeah i i think though joe and look lamar

02:37is a flowers touchdown that got called back was probably a bit of a mistake there was some bad

02:41that was a likely fumble you know was also uh frustrating that there was a couple of things

02:47the likely fumble right yeah you know flip things around but joe we know what lamar jackson is

02:53right we know when lamar jackson looks right you don't have to look any further than to how the

02:57season started right buffalo cleveland detroit you know the numbers were were as gaudy as ever

03:03and he had nine touchdowns the first three weeks into the season the passer rating was

03:07a buck 30 some odd right the qbr was shiny as all get out he has had a qbr under 35 joe in three

03:17straight games he had zero such games last year he has been now in the last four at 45 or less in all

03:26of them he only had two games last year under 40 in all all of last season it is a clear as day lamar

03:35doesn't look the same coming back from the injury and to compare that to burrow who i also joe i don't

03:46know i he didn't feel the same either but he was putting on numbers but as the game kept going and kept

03:52going and that confidence and it's there and it's not it's infectious when your guy is out there

03:59and you know we've laughed about it me picking cincinnati to win a super bowl

04:04this is the team that's gonna go

04:07joe i'll say this they are a win away from being more than just right there

04:17well cincinnati goes to buffalo in their next game they're gonna be a dog we know that

04:23after that they're home against baltimore and then at miami and then home against sarasona

04:30and then home against cleveland i've seen crazier things i don't think they're dead

04:38i don't think they're dead joe i would love to see them make it because i believe in in joey b

04:44yeah i believe in jamar chase and higgins when he's healthy they're as good as anybody out there

04:49yep and in a playoff type of environment whether it be at home or on the road they could beat anybody

04:55they can outscore anybody let me rephrase that well i don't know how golden

05:01they're playing with their hair on fire

05:04performance well that defense is one of their better they were looking solid against new england

05:10flack goes throwing pick sixes and what have you can't have it should have started joey b then i know

05:16i agree
