#1 2008 - My favorite season. John Harbaugh, Joe Flacco and Ray Rice all rookies and we make the Championship Game. Unfortunately I was at the game at Heinz Field when they lost. Derrick Mason in Dallas is as good as it gets. #2 2003 - Watching Jamal run for 2000 was pretty exciting. #3 2014 - Never expected to be in the playoffs. #4 2006 - If they could have gotton past Peyton Manning they win the Super Bowl. #5 2011 - Could be #2 but the ending is just to painful.

For one season or to take over as the franchise QB? If it's one season I'll take these QBs: 1. Brady 2. Rodgers If it's as a franchise QB I'll take these guys: 1. Luck 2. Wentz 3. Carr That's 5 but under different circumstances.

3-0!!! You are what your record says you are! The Good - The defensive line. Timmy Jernigan. Justin Tucker is money! Steve Smith was clutch. The Bad - Mike Wallace and Perriman both dropped passes. The Ugly - Justin Forsett and the run game. Buck Allen anyone?

Didn't they try trade up for Ramsey? The price was to steep. Stanley was the best option given they couldn't move up. However, I guess if you're saying pretend Dallas is willing to trade, I still stay and take Stanley. We have a franchise QB in his prime. The next most important player in the team is the LT to protect Joe.

You play the teams that are on the schedule. The Ravens went 5-11 and lost these games a year ago. Last year's team never would have recovered from 20-0 in the first quarter in Cleveland. 2-0 is a great start. Hopefully they return home 3-0 with a chance to match the franchise's best start ever. I don't believe in ugly wins, there's just win or lose.

Is this for real?

The Good: 7 Ravens rookies contributed to the win (Ronnie Stanley, Chris Moore, Tavon Young, Alex Lewis, Matt Judon, Michael Pierce, Kamalei Correa). Best Ravens draft ever after '96? The Bad: The run game and Justin Forsett. Run blockong appears subpar and Forsett doesn't seem to have an burst. How could he run out of bounds at the end of the game? The Ugly: The First Quarter.

I don't know if the Browns got hosed or not on the Terrelle Pryor taunting call at the end of the game. It depends on Pryor's intentions which only he can speak to. In any event, what I don't understand is why a dead ball foul after the play is over results in offsetting penalties with something that happened during the play. Had Webb not been called for defensive holding (which the Browns would have declined) the ball would have been placed at the 10 yardline and then marched back to the 25 due to the taunting call on Pryor. However, since Webb held on the play the ball was placed back at the 30 yardline. It was to the Ravens advantage that Webb held on that play. Of course, Webb had no idea Pryor would be called for the penalty so it's not like he planned it. It just seems to me a deadball penalty should not result in offsetting with a penalty that happened during the play. Thoughts?

However, the taunting call is just applied. The Ravens would not be asked to accept or reject the penalty. So I can't see where penalty bias would occur. Seems more logical to call the play as is and have the Browns decline the defensive holding. The taunting call would be automatically applied placing the ball at the 25.

Ravens will win this game. They came out of Cleveland with no major injuries and this isn't the Jaguars home opener. The offense will only get better each week and I'm convinced the defense is better than last year's version. They're 2-0 with a chance to return home undefeated. I think Cleveland was the letdown game and a wake up call in the first quarter. If the get the running game on track they may even win convincingly.

Tucker: 3/3 including a 52 yarder.

Stanley, Perriman, Wright

If Breshad ever reads these boards he must think we're all crazy. lol

I guess everyone has a different interpretation. For me, when I stand for the National Anthem I not supporting any particular party or even the government. The government works for us - for the people by the people (that's how it's supposed to work). When I stand I realize we are not perfect, but I do believe we are the greatest nation and I merely saying I'm proud to be a part of this country.

Standing for the National Anthem is a political statement? How so?

Yup, they sure are. I should have know the NFL would have been on top of this. lol

Well said! There's nothing wrong with protesting. But I have no idea what they are protesting. So for right now this really is no "conversation" and it's nothing more than a minor annoyance.

Nice! Wonder when these will go on sale.

The issue is based on a false narrative. So now kneeling has become merely fashionable. It's a fad. It will fade away and nothing will be down about whatever it was the original protest was about - if it was about anything.

I turned the Rams/49ers game off before it started because ESPN was talking about this. I just want to watch football and not a false narrative by the players.

I like all the Sunday 1pm games. Getting home at 12:30am - 1am on a work night sucks. Not to mention my 6 year old who loves the Ravens can't stay up late to watch the games. I really don't care what anyone else thinks. If other teams want to underestimate the Ravens go right ahead. It's impossible to stay on top every year. 5-11 in 2015 was bound to happen after all the veteran losses in 2013.

Is it my imagination, or did Cleveland (a very franchise QB needy team) just get beat pretty badly by the quarterback they passed on in the 2016 draft?

A team's 1st round pick needs to be good enough to start, but I don't think the same is true of a 2nd round pick. However, Matt Judon saw snaps on defense. Is it possible Judon is doing what they expected Correa to do?

Shareece Wright's play was pretty stunning yesterday. If he keeps it up it's an easy ProBowl pick!

Let's not forget that the offense ran the 4 minute drill to perfection. Trestman called the Wallace end-around at the perfect moment. The D never had to get back onto the field and be tested in the final 2 minutes.
