  1. I can't stand fans and media that say we were inches away from the playoffs. As I remember it we were inches shy of beating Pittsburgh but far from the playoffs. We did completely get blown out by the Bengals the following week. So that's one lose and a few inches away from being tied with the Steelers. Wake up we aren't that close in fact we could be getting even worse next year you never know.
  2. I have to get anew TV. I did not see a wide open receiver in 16 games. You need glasses sir, a lot of open receivers but Flacco became the king of the check down. Most of the time he was one read then check down, by the end of the season Smith Sr. And Wallace were being just lazy on routes knowing Flacco wouldn't even look at them. That doesn't happen unless you leave people wide open a lot.
  3. You may need to elevate your thinking as to what true "playmakers" are cause ONLY Steve Smith, Sr. fits that description. Wallace leads the team in 50+ yard receptions, that sounds like a playmaker to me. Kyle is the best fullback per pro football focus. So I'd give him three on his list including Smith Sr.
  4. I guess we are a perennial loser now. Decided that we love -4 yard passes on 3rd and 7. We hope the fans are as excited as we are about the prospects of Joe leading the league in passing attempts next year, as he fell one attempt short of the leader this year. Expecting our run to pass ratio to change slightly to a 15% run commitment. We are also extremely excited to bring back both Suggs and Dumervil to continue to slow any progress on young pass rushers that we already might have. Also we don't intend on making an offer to Brandon Williams. This is where we are really heading this offseason, may the football gods have mercy on us fans. In all seriousness, Marty should have been demoted or dumped make a run on Rick Dennison from Denver. Can't bear to see the check down as the featured weapon again. We need pass rushers and speed in the secondary, you can really tell how slow they are when it looks as tho they are standing still when another team is running down the field. C.J. Mosley needs to get to work on his coverage skills stat, it's his only weakness. Resign Brandon Williams for the love of god, don't let him walk we never missed Nagta because of this guy being here. I want new scouts infused into our program as well we have lost to many over the seasons to better jobs.
  5. We need a new OC but this was a great game but tough loss
  6. The Pats are 4-0 this season without Gronk and Brady is 6-0 at home against #1 defenses. That said they are more susceptible to being beaten right now than any other point in this season since Brady was out. Go Ravens.
  7. All great except Ronnie Stanley is our left tackle not guard. It's all right there just need to put a run together, without burning ourselves out completely before the playoffs. Love the view points.
  8. Absolutely right!!!! Self Righteous John has already singlehandedly blown two games by calling ridiculous plays, and going for it when absolutely not necessary. Maybe it took eleven games for SRJ and FBAJ to figure out that, they have the NO. 1 D in the league, along with the greatest kicker of all time, with a great special teams. Would love another run. But it's doubtful FBAJ puts two impressive games back to back. Just don't blow it. Well he said he was going to be playing aggressively, that said when it's obvious you should consider taking the points. Tucker is the best kicker I have ever seen, as long as we don't line him up opposite side and tell him to pass it again that was the worst attempt at a fake ever. Harbaugh came up big with his aggressive style last week but you need to play sound against New England.
  9. I know there is no Gronk this week but, they are undefeated this year without Gronk playing, the two losses occurred with him playing and one was a shutout by the Bills who we are hoping defeat the Steelers this week. This game scares me in that this will be Youngs greatest test of the year covering Edelman in the slot. If he is up to it we will win a tight one, if not it will be a long day and probably a wrong sided blowout.
  10. Well at least Flacco is not a cheater. So how smart do you think Brady is? He got caught. I'll take Flacco thank you very much! We all love Flacco but Brady I the greatest ever, don't let your hate make you look stupid. You know in your heart you would prefer Brady over Flacco. That said you play the cards your dealt, and I love our Ravens history however brief it has been.
  11. Best performance all year. That said a more balanced attack would be more preferable. This defense is awesome I really hope we don't waste it like the 2006 defense.
  12. I love Tucker but it is sad that our kicker is the ticket seller on the team.
  13. Anybody else see that a year nine Flacco is playing in such a dumbed down offense that he has only two reads most plays and doesn't change plays when it's obvious that the play won't work. Dak Prescott is a rookie changing plays and protections and making three and four reads. That is just embarrassing, I think Ray shouldn't have apologized to Flacco he made a lot of good points not about the rah rah stuff but the complete lack of passion. He does sit by himself on the bench after plays and he doesn't change his sense of urgency or demeanor after a bad play or a good one. Notice his lack of accuracy this gets better when you put in the extra work that people with passion have the drive to do, like work with your receivers to get that timing down to a science, or do some film study to understand who your throwing against and their tendencies. Since winning the Super Bowl he has seriously regressed, I know he has had like seven coordinators but the basic question intelligence doesn't seem evident in Flacco.
  14. Raise your hand if your tired of hearing Harbaugh say the same things every time we lose. I mean he keeps saying theses penalties and mistakes are all correctable and yet every week it's the same old story. We abandon the run and commit drive ending penalties seems we can't get out of our own way and don't even try and blame injuries because we only employ injured players on the Ravens anyway so that argument won't hold water here. I saw something about Elliot this week, he sucks without blocking, put him on another team and he would be mediocre at best. That is shocking considering based on his highlights you'd think he was a beast sadly I saw quite the opposite when we played him, unlike when we first played Peterson he carried 4 of our players for a touchdown with no blocking, oh and one of his passengers was Ray Lewis. This team needs to get out of it's own way sometimes, this is quite possibly the worst coached team in the NFL, besides Dean Pees that is. I watched the game several time and those defenders were put in the right spots and consistently missed tackles and used poor techniques causing it to look worse than it really was.
  15. The only blocking tight end on the entire roster. Not that great but exactly what we need to move towards a more efficient run game.
  16. So just an odd stat, the same team that has the least amount of fumbles over the last decade now leads the NFL in fumbles, not fumbles lost just fumbles. The New England Patriots, that's right because deflate gate does matter. Oh and our division just sucks this year, I don't even think we deserve a team in the playoffs this year. That's right it should be the best 12 teams period, no division or conference crap, just purely the best records going at it. I know it's a any given Sunday league, but certain teams just don't belong in the playoffs, I mean is being the best team in the worst division actually worth anything? When will they start ranking defense on the stat that matters points allowed per game, that would make us the #5 defense not the #2. Seattle would be #1 not Arizona, and everything would seem to make more sense. Total yards mean nothing, I'll give you 800 yards every week if you can't score on us and with field position you can have 5 touchdowns in less than 200yards offense, so in conclusion the NFL should change the way the choose the #1 defense. Even though I don't agree with the current playoff system we still have a good chance to win the division. I just hope this doesn't give clueless John Harbaugh, to much extra time on his credit here, I mean he said we didn't abandon the run game but the game itself didn't dictate us to run more. Really cause 6 yards a carry and time of possession means nothing right? 6 planed runs after the 1st quarter say Harbaugh is full of it, oh and a bad scramble because we only employ injured players in Baltimore, great O-line huh? 7 different starting combinations this year on the offensive line so much for the continuity. This defense is still good but if you want them to look better we need to control the clock which means the situation always dictates that we run the damn ball. Dream scenario this offseason Ozzie retires and Harbaugh quits out of pure shock forcing the Ravens to fix their problems instead of putting temporary band-aids on.
  17. And what about Young he is a real surprise at cornerback considering we weren't even considering him as our second cornerback on the field.
  18. I'm just saying this division is at tipping point, Steelers and Bengals both win on Sunday and we will have three teams at .500 or better, lose and we remain the worst division this season winning percentage wise. Yes I agree our secondary is slow and can be exposed, however our pressure/pass rush has been heating up. That said Big Ben has a great arm and a top running back with a top receiver and we handled that perfectly. The Raiders didn't even put up that much points on us scoring only 14 on offense, the special teams lost that game in several plays if you watch it again. The Giants was just plain sad if Young hadn't come off the ball flat footed he wouldn't have fallen over on the last Beckham TD, that said Young is getting better each game and by the end of the year might prove to be our best cornerback. The Cowboys should be a good test for how physical we are and the Patriots will answer our secondary questions, everyone else is at or below .500 don't see a real reason we can't make the postseason. Once your in it's all about getting hot at the right time, often enough the best team doesn't win the Super Bowl, just the hottest postseason team that year.
  19. What is our deal with them? We really need to make a statement against them this year. I would trade losing in Pitt for crushing Cincy twice this year. I think we have a good shot of winning all three though to be honest. Jimmy better be on AJ the entire game otherwise I'll lose it. I think AJ and Julio are the 2 best WRs in the NFL. People say Brown, and you can't lie about his production. But I would be interested to see any of our fans respond to this. I think AJ is better than Brown. My main and clear cut argument is switch the 2 on their teams. If Brown played with Dalton, I think he'd have less production than Green did with him. And Green would have even more with Ben than Brown did. I think they are really similar. But green is 6 inches taller. And yes, Green is quick too. Anyways, who's better people, Green or Brown? While I like your argument compare their numbers since entering the league and Brown wins. The measurables coming out favored Green, but the stats have seen Brown flourish more. Yes Ben is better than Andy but to say Green would do better in a switch is not possible, you can't measure Browns heart and desire. Just like Michael Jordan having more heart than his much more measurable opponents. I think we are also forgetting that until this year Green had Sanu and Jones to take some heat off him Brown is all the Steelers have had for a while. That said the Steelers have a better run game to help bring people into the box leaving more room for Brown to work his magic. Likewise the Bengals have a better defense in recent years and prior to this season perhaps the best 53 man roster for 4 years straight, losing a lot this year in free agency. All things considered I'll take Brown over Green but honestly they aren't that far apart, again good question.
  20. I like the direction of the offense but that was only half a game they put together. It will take a full games production to take down the Cowboys, so get your stuff together. As for the defense wow they just keep getting better, and where does this Young guy get off playing this good, I mean wow never saw that coming. This in all seriousness will be our greatest test this season, just above the Raiders game in difficulty. Can't wait to see how our Ravens do.
  21. Great defense but Flacco two game picks that's 4 multiple pick games this season, ouch. But complimentary football was the winning formula tonight.
  22. Here's goes Flacco king of the interception
  23. How we can be up 21-0 in the 4th quarter and I'm still nervous says it all.
  24. Wow what was that Flacco I mean seriously that was a backward sprint while throwing the ball of course your not going to have any accuracy. He just choked in the red zone big time.
  25. Wow this buffalo team looks just like the ravens, inaccurate passes and penalties combined with poor speed in the secondary. I'm terrified to face this years pats team later on this year.
