Whew! Didn't take as long as I thought and I come back to Matt Schaub?
i remember Matt Schaub used to give our defense fits a couple years back for whatever reason. I don't mind the signing. Even with how back he's been the past couple years i am still more comfortable with him starting than Wenning if Flacco went down
*how bad he's been
I guess it isn't horrible. If Flacco is out just a game or two Schaub might be able to pull out a couple wins and keep us in the hunt. Still..surprising.
The part of my job I like the least, editing and rewrites, will consume me for awhile so, see everyone at Draft time! ![]()
Every year at this time: The Boards go crazy as people leave. NFLN declares the Ravens done. They've lost too many pieces. ESPN says we're no longer a playoff team. Then, Ozzie does his thing ![]()
ravens fan sing doom and gloom more than the talking heads, i swear, every single year we do this, and a majority of the fans act like the eagles fans are acting this year. have you all not learned yet?
I just read we're expected to have 12 picks. Dang! Can't wait for the draft.
i have a feeling we are absolutely gonna nail this draft, and with our cap situation looking solid for next year i think we will be set for another 4-5 year run at bringin home some more hardware
I dread this time of year. I hate watching players I love leave, even though some expected and understanding the business of it. Jacoby, the first casualty. Best of luck Jacoby. Thanks for everything.
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.
i totally understand what ur saying and ill agree that qb's get the most recognition for SBMVP by default, it takes a huge effort from any other player to take it away from a qb who throws for more td's than int's. but i thought when you watched that game, it just appeared that edelman was the best player on the field, and some will look at it and say edelman carried brady, others will say brady carried the team, im of the former group lol
I guess my point was that if Flacco had done exactly what Brady did - you can bet your bottom dollar he would not have received that MVP. Jacoby would have. Brady got that award because he is Brady despite the fact that he threw 2 INTs which were the primary reason they needed that 4th quarter comeback.
easily the best status I've ever seen regarding the patriots after the Super Bowl. Especially the speculation they bring up every in the playoffs playing the ravens. They are a disgrace to football in my opinion.
Mosley gets snubbed.
He was consistently better than Donald and came on earlier than Donald. The only thing Donald has on him are those 17 tackles for a loss they're raving about. Mosley was the overall better player.
I'm fine really. Well keep playing in the playoffs while the rams still keep losing
who cares
Will be interesting to see if the NFL blows off yet another incident of NE cheating....stay tuned.
I like willbackers quote from S Sharpe
If the Spygate scandal is a barometer the NFL offices are figuring out how to make this go away with as little damage to the shield as possible. Translated that means covering up as much as they can.
2nd time they've been caught red handed under Belichick, they deserve worse than just losing a single pick and a fine. But alas all that will happen is they will pay off a ball boy to take the fall and thats all they'll get.
Okay, Flacco declined the pro bowl in favor of family. Cool. Still confused by Trestman over Gase after hearing everyone's thoughts on those two candidates.
I like that he was a QB & a QB coach. I don't like that he seems to have a reputation as being soft and relying on the short game. It just isn't one of our strengths really. Then someone else said he liked to chuck the ball downfield - so conflicting information.
Lets just say he did wonders with Scott Mitchell in Detroit. Remember him. Also Rich Gannon won an MVP under his guidance. Plus I don't think he'll be looking for a HC job anytime soon so hopefully we can have some consistency.
Wil backer has legit reasoning. After all none of us voted proxy. The ones in the FO make the decisions. We are on the outside looking in
After talking to everyone, don't understand the Trestman hire over Gase. Plus, Dalton named to pro bowl and not Flacco???? Ridiculous.
buh bye Kubiak. Thanks for sticking to your word like a man of integrity ...oh wait...Thanks for waiting to interview on a holiday weekend so you could drag it out for 5 days! That was sooooooo considerate of you! Whatever. Sorry Joe & the offense. Keep on hanging in there.
....lol...yeah thanks Kubs...let's hope you can handle it in Denver...oh...it's very foolish of you...
It is what it is. He's there. He did it for his family. Its a business. Loyalty is still practiced in the fan base and military. We go on. Now Mr. Trestman will be the hot seat target for many of you.
Dear NFLN & ESPN, Just a reminder, that Joe Flacco went through Peyton & Brady on his way to a SB MVP before Luck. Oh and he did it AFTER beating Luck. Just seems like you've forgotten that while you act like Luck will be the first to take down those 2 QBs if he wins this weekend. Sincerely, A Ravens' Fan
Your correction has to be sent to the proper sources.
you know flacco will disappear from the media and suddenly luck will be the first qb to do this that and the other. next year joes just gonna come out and do his job and then break records once the playoffs roll around and all the hype will swirl again
Ravens & Rice settle money dispute - our ties to Rice are officially cut now
yeah figure that as well. Don't think the settlement has anything to do with his cap hit.
we guaranteed him a certain amount of money, a guarantee is a guarantee, and those guarantees werent on the cap hits previously, so they have to count against us at some point. i see no possible way that we avoid the 9m cap hit
He's out for sure. The money will be a hard pinch. I hope he plays in the National Conference I could see him in SF.
Just pointing out that a TE, both Safeties and a CB that made the All Pro Rookie Team were all available when we picked. Just sayin'.
Wasn't Crockett Gilmore on of those tightend that made the all pro rookie team ?
Crockett made PFF All Rookie team, but not the official one.
lol......You don't think we did right picking CJ?
Is it September yet? ![]()
I'm just waiting for Ozzie to make his moves. That's where the fun part starts!
thats where we get to say that he's terrible and past his prime. Then he proves us wrong AGAIN
hahahaha Hey! Yeah! Didn't Back to the Future promise me a flying DeLorean by now? What's up with that? lol
Does anyone else think Peyton may be done?
I do, but then, I don't. Would have burned Pats fans to no end if Peyton came in there and ended their season.
Peyton's done but I think he'll try to chase his brother's second ring for one more season. Wouldn't be surprised if his ailing body gets carted into retirement next year.
Can any of you sit through a PManning commercial? I leave the room for food or switch to History channel.
Since we're probably stuck with Pees, better give the offense all the off season love because they'll have to be putting up 40 burgers or more regularly to advance anywhere meaningful.Pees doesn't understand "clutch" defense.
We run off zone. That's what we live and die by. Levine and Webb would get roasted in press. I doubt Melvin could do much better. With Jimmy in there, this game is a different story.
you can run zone without being 10-15 yds off your man. He made zero adjustments in the 2nd half. Yes, I understand he went press man a few times and I know we gave up one TD that way and if memory serves, possibly another. I get that part of it. I don't get sending Suggs/Doom off the edges rushing Brady once they committed totally to the dink & dunk and the ball was out in 2 seconds. Drop one into coverage. Do something. He did nothing. He made no attempt to change anything. If he had...
Doom and Suggs don't exactly make their money in coverage. I firmly believe trying to change something to much could have backfired from the unfamiliarity of it. It's not like Pees is Cam cameron. Pees did a great job with waht he was given. With that secondary, we were still top 10 in red zone defense and 11th in overall.
Two 14 pt leads blown. 15 yds off your man when the opposing team is using dink & dunk. Zero adjustments to a team not even pretending they are going to run the ball. Pees is NOT DC material. We go nowhere until he is gone.
Like any other coordinator could've done better
The defense of Pees is old. This is the same defense, with the same issues we've had every season since he took over. The personnel doesn't suck every season. We don't have 19 guys on IR every season. Even after we won the SB in 2012, the same discussions about Pees going on. Reed & Lewis saved him then. Now they're gone and it's showing.
We have got to win this one game. We have got to bring all we've got & take this one game against the Steelers. A Lombardi in our future will be grand, but if that is not in the cards - we have got to win just this one game.
