  1. I hope we don't sign Bowe. You have to be a completely different level of bad if you can't find the endzone once and you started every game

  2. I feel like something is brewing....It was one year ago from tomorrow that we signed Steve Smith Sr. Could tomorrow be the day we get a couple acquisitions like Stevie Johnson, Dwyane Bow, Scott Chandler, and/or Kenny Stills?

      Chandler is now a Patriot. Unfortunately Stevie Johnson could be one soon as well.

  3. Just heard this Bill Polian character on ESPN saying that Ngata is a cap casualty because of Flacco's contract and that the Lions won the trade. He couldn't be more wrong and ignorant.

      "Flacco's fault" says the guy who claimed he was fired from Indy because he didn't have "an adequate backup to Peyton Manning." More like Manning's injury exposed the terrible draft choices he made.

  4. question, is devin smith still getting first round consideration after disappointing some folks with his 40 time?

    1. Ravenslifer

      Ravenslifer

      Dissapointing? He ran a 4.44. Torrey ran a 4.41 and he's plenty fast. Plus Smith still has his pro day. I suggest you stick to watching game tape when evaluating deep speed - it's a lot more involved than a straight-line 40 time. Smith is still a borderline late first rounder - he's got better hands and route running ability than Torrey did coming out. If not us, a team like the Patriots who really have lacked a true vertical threat since Moss left could take him at the back...

  5. does Haloti know he's not the best DT/DE in league anymore? Take the pay cut and be a team player if you want to win a Super Bowl sheesh

    1. Ravenslifer

      So let me get this straight - 5 years ago Ngata signs a deal that would take him to the age where many players at his position RETIRE, completing 10 full seasons in the NFL, and he should expect a restructure at the end of it? This isn't a QB deal - evidence shows QBs can play well into their mid to late 30s. The greatest DTs in NFL history had a career between 10-13 years. Complete shot in the dark to expect a player at his position to restructure at his age.

      Whether or not Ngata is worth the deal doesn't change the fact that the Ravens agreed to it in the first place. They knew the risk they were running. Haloti has no reason to restructure unless he wants to continue playing for Baltimore specifically. If he wants to play out his deal, or go somewhere else, that's the Ravens' problem.

  7. how will the ravens address the loss of torrey smith? i think we double dip at wr in the draft, it is now officially the biggest hole on the team

    1. Ravenslifer

      Ravenslifer

      Draft a guy. I'm not too big of a fan of the FA market outside of a few guys, and they will all probably get paid more than we can afford.

  8. wow...disappointed in Torrey. Thought he would appreciate home more than anyone else in the NFL. T-sizzle, Ray, Ed, all appreciated home more than money. Good luck to Torrey.

    1. Ravenslifer

      Ravenslifer

      I'm thinking he got 9+. That's a lot of money to turn down for anybody, especially someone who's already played for and won a ring with what's basically his hometown team (I think Torrey is from Virginia, obviously went to UMD).

  11. really sad Jacoby's gone. Anquan and Jacoby were the only reasons why we won the super bowl in 2012

    1. Ravenslifer

      Ravenslifer

      Underthrown? Yeah if he was trying to throw it to the parking lot - it was perfectly placed to land in Jacoby's unsure hands - it was so overthrown Rahim Moore didn't bother moving back any further because he didn't think it would go that far. Seriously, first Josh Shaw a first rounder and now this.

  12. Ravens met with only 4 DB's. PJ Williams, Marcus Peters, Kevin Johnson, Quandre Diggs. Lets see who they narrow down their interests with Private interviews.

    1. Ravenslifer

      Ravenslifer

      I suggest you do yourself a favor and actually look at years' past in terms of who we interviewed and who we ended up drafting - the lists were very different. A little effort and you'd know this.

    1. Ravenslifer

      Ravenslifer

      You keep talking about prospects that are not likely to be the best player available at either the first or second round pick, so expecting one of them to be the pick is very unrealistic. I don't know why you keep trying to force a CB in the first round, because based on the talent pool it's very unlikely.

      Totally missing the point - they're not going to pick any player we need. Only the best player on the board. If it's not a corner, we're not taking a corner. If you can't understand that, you don't understand the Raven way of drafting.

      As was already stated, they met with about 8 WRs last year that were projected top 100 picks and din't take one until round 7. They met woth 3-4 OLB/DE prospects projected in the top 100 didn't take one - they took a 4th rounder instead.

      means nothing, although typically I think we end up with a first round pick we've interviewed - Joe, Jimmy, CJ, Elam, Sizzle, etc. So maybe the first round guy will be a guy we met with, but most of our picks end up being guys we didn't.

  17. im upset with combine so far, jaelen strong put himself way out of our range with his verticals and 40 times.

    1. Ravenslifer

      Ravenslifer

      There are more receivers than just Jaelen Strong that could come in and help this team. Now if we do something foolish again like waiting until round 7 to pick a receiver, then I'd be worried. But let's face it - if Joe throws to Rashad Greene, he's got pro bowl potential. If Johnny Manziel is throwing to Jaelen Strong, they could be calling Strong a bust this time next year. It's as much about the situation as it is the player, unless you're a freak like Calvin Johnson

  18. Nate Orchard, Duke Johnson, Josh Shaw. First 3 picks.

      Hate to break it to you, but in no way is Nate Orchard a first round pick.

  19. Ozzie will never get a RB in the first round.

    1. Ravenslifer

      Ravenslifer

      If he thinks Gurley is a top 20 talent and is clearly the best player left on the board at 26, then yes, we'll be taking a RB in the first round.

  20. Today the Patriots single handedly destroyed the honor of the Lombardi & tarnished its image. On top of that, they have destroyed any meaning that SB MVP held by awarding it to Tom Brady after a 2 INT game. Shameful.

    1. Ravenslifer

      Ravenslifer

      Whenever the quarterback plays reasonably well, he's going to win the award. Did Brady have a transcendent performance, no, but did he have a great one, yes.

  23. If it's any positive out of this, last time we lost to the Patriots in the playoffs, we won the Super Bowl next season. Hope that is the case next season.

  24. We always want Joe to prove himself, but for this game, I'm looking for our WRs to show us that they're the real deal! Be better than their corners.

    1. Ravenslifer

      I'm looking at Daniels and Gilmore - New England has been good against receivers but not so much against TEs this season.

  25. Brady freeing up the Patriots cap space. Hey Joe, want to free up some cap space for us?

    1. Ravenslifer

      Ravenslifer

      The offseason isn't even here yet. Why the Pats made this move now, IDK, but there was no reason to - it makes no difference whether they do it now or a few weeks from now. So there's still time for the FO to do so. Even still, his cap hit for next year is actually lower than this year's - doesn't start getting crazy until 2016.
