Week 7: Baltimore Ravens (5-1) @ Houston Texans (5-1)

I really hope Suggs sits. There's a bye week coming up, he can get in 3 weeks of practice to see how the wheel is doing. This is a HUGE game, but still not bigger than the combined 9 games to come after. Please don't come back too early.

PPM, Ngata is playing.

Oh boy do I hope he sits... Or suits up but stays on the side line.

We cannot afford for him to rush back and get injured. This game is important, but not nearly as important as the stretch run after the bye-week will be.

I almost wish the Texans hadn't lost their match. They're gonna be out to prove they're the real deal on offense...

Sadly it's gonna be easy against our D. If Suggs comes back though, boy how much of a morale boost would a sack bring this beaten and battered team!

I also never noticed we were 5-0 against the Texans... Let's hope we don't break that wonderful trend!

Idk, I'm still kind of nervous about the Texans for this game. Schaub hasn't been as accurate as I expected him to be when he's played against good teams. I'm also not sure how that defense will hold up without Cush, since he would otherwise be key against Ray Rice. I guess the Ravens' injuries cancel it out though. I could see this being a shootout if Flacco plays well. Will probably come down to who throws less interceptions.

Ngata has an injured knee that hinders quickness and agility, the best cover guy for the Ravens is done for the year and their emotional leader has hit the deck. They are getting their best pass rusher back, but athletes are always notorious for being slow to regain their athletic ability after tearing an Achilles.

All that combined with the fact that Flacco is average on the road, the Texans are going to be mad after an *** beating and looking to prove a point, I wouldn't feel good if I were a Ravens fan.

34-28 Texans sounds about right to me.

With Cushing out we have a chance. The D will have to contain Foster, but that will be difficult because "Scuab's No Slob".

Big question is how will the Texan Pass D respond after Rodgers demoralized them last week? Flacco will win or lose this game. It will take an A effort for him to do it.

[Sidion]

I know a bunch of unofficial sources were saying he was playing, turns out they were right.

Really worried about him returning so soon. It's still all gonna be on Flacco's arm and Rice's legs. Here's hoping Cam doesn't forget about our top 3 RB

[Feared]

Shame that both teams have suffered so many key injuries recently. No doubt this is a big game between statistically the 2 best teams in the AFC at this moment. However it's still just a Week 7 and I don't know if it's worth it for Suggs to try and rush back from injury.

Maybe he will only play sparingly on pass rushing downs?

Interesting game I got Baltimore. Loosing Cushing is HUGE for the Texans. I'd say he's more valuable than Lewis for his team.
