Brady exploded when he got Moss and Welker and has had Gronk since 2010, so...

Also, Peyton had Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne, then swapped over to Decker, Thomas, and Thomas. I mean...

I agree but Brady can make something out of nothing and you can't deny that... and Peyton has had Them but yet another QB I think in his prime can make something out of nothing imo that is arguable but what my argument was that you can't take anything away from joe just because bolden made some plays

I think you are forgetting a HUGE piece of that "Joe" did it all puzzle friend. Bolden, if you go back and watch the game you will see quite a few over throws and very inaccurate tosses that Bolden had to fight for, make great grabs and outplay the defense. If we had not had Bolden Joe's run would not have been.

I agree Bolden was huge in that but in order for a QB to thrive he needs his receivers to help him I mean Ben has AB going up and pulling crazy balls down Matt Ryan has Julio Jones making plays out of nothing Joe has had some deep threats in Mike and Torrey and had some tough receivers like Q and Steve but he's never had that flashy AB, Julio Jones, Megatron, OBJ style receivers the only QB that works with that as little as Joe and is phenomenal is our friend in the east Tom Brady and Peyton when he was playing so you can't say cause a receiver makes some plays you discredit the QB you need both ends to make it work 

And my final comment on this is Ray should just be thankful Joe carried that team to that super bowl say what you want but 11TD 0INT and played in Denver and in NE Joe is the reason we got that ring like it or not

Lol! 

Lol!

Regardless of how people feel about Ray as an analyst...the man practiced and played with Joe Flacco for a few years so he knows what he has seen or not seen in Joe and can speak to that.

 

I agree but those were different teams what is he supposed to do say sit Ray let me lead or sit Ed I got this 

And my final point Ray isn't playing on this team or any of the last three teams we've had he doesn't know what role Joe is playing while he isn't there obviously when Ray Lewis and Ed Reed are apart of your team you aren't the vocal leader you take that back seat so him questioning anything is asinine to me 

And I can guarantee this if there was an issue Sizzel and Steve wouldn't shy from saying something I don't care if you think it may hurt team chemistry whatever those guys don't care if there is an issue they would say it we all see from the outside not the inside none of us know what or when he studies why he does certain things 

And if you go watch the video Ray doesn't say anything about his study ethic and actually says he's a gifted player he just says he isn't a RA RA guy then circles it back to himself as always saying I was that guy yes we know Ray LOL still love him though 

Joe does lack that ra ra go out and kill your opponent personality but that doesn't mean he isn't a leader I guarantee Joe speaks and anyone on that team listens I've played football with guys who were great leaders but didn't have that voice it just wasn't them they were the ones that kept you calm when it was the 4th quarter and we needed a comeback TD being loud is one thing but you can be passionate and a leader in way more ways then being loud Ray is right Sizz and Steve smith are your leaders in the smash mouth ra ra kind of way but Joe has that calmness that can really help on a football field when things are going wrong 

I agree I love Ray but every time he talks about the Ravens it's like he circles it back to himself it drives me nuts if there was an issue I'm sure Tsizzle would come out and say it or speak to joe himself I wouldn't worry about this

Cowbums fans are really high on themselves while trashing us...especially our offense:

http://boards.dallascowboys.com/topic/68317-ravens-1-rush-defense-vs-cowboys-1-rush-offense/

This Dallas guy on here first can't spell offense and two said we beat the jets browns twice and the bills that would leave us at 4-5 I can't do it... if you're going to talk football atleast be educated 

To be honest pollard was never really a leader on the team in my eyes Ray ED Haloti and sizzle

I've got a bad feeling that both Doom and Yanda don't play this Sunday.

I thought they had full practice reps today.

Yeah so did I... I was hopeful we'd see both of them out there

I'm making bets with cowboys fans I have one that trolls me everywhere god I hope we beat them on Sunday 

I'll leave this here for all of you to read I guess we are all homers and very optimistic maybe they should go read the other threads on here LOL this is a quote straight from the cowboys game thread 

"LOL Ravens fans are some of the most overly optimistic I've ever seen. Here on the Dallas boards, I constantly see negative posts even when winning, but checking the game preview thread there, they are really underestimating the Cowboys and high on their team. A recap of their 2016 so far :

Barely beat the Bills
Barely beat the BROWNS
Barely beat the Jags
Lost to the Raiders (to their credit, a narrow loss to a great team)
Lost to the Redskins (basically a less talented Dallas team build at every level, including the previous Dallas O line coach)
Lost to the Giants
Lost to the JETS
Beat a truly beaten-up Steelers team with Burger coming off injury and looking terrible for most of the game
Beat the Browns again

Yeah, not seeing the '#1 rushing defense' being super legitimate considering that list of nonsense. Show me the team on that list known for an A+ rushing attack? Arguably the Steelers? But how healthy is a Steelers attack when Ben is throwing at the dirt for 3 quarters?

They've played 5 okay to good teams : Raiders, Redskins, Giants, and Steelers. The Raiders had pretty much zero defense at that point (they've been looking up the past few weeks and may be dangerous in the AFC!), and they played the Steelers at the absolute worst time, with Ben looking like garbage for most of the game and obviously coming back about a week too early. Playing the Browns twice? LOL. In the real world, the Eagles defense is better, and we've faced more than a few offenses that are better than the Ravens."

Man doesn't it feel so sweet to win on Thursday and watch our other two division rivals drop on Sunday/Monday we have a huge game Sunday! We matchup great with them this will be a dog fight anyone else have the week before a playoff game feel like I do! So excited for this game if the offense can put up three scores I think we win 17 points I'd say would be the bare minimum if the defense is on there game and man do I hope they are shut some of those uneducated cowboys fans up for once
