  1. 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

  2. We added another UDFA to our WR corps! And this one also has injury issues! I know Flacco is just overcome with this talented addition!

      Sad for Marlon though too. Pretty sure his NFL career is over.

  3. Alright, so last year the Steelers finished above us in the Division, neither of us made the playoffs and they picked before us. This year they won the freakin' Division and are STILL picking before us. Somewhere it isn't right lol

      that's what happens when you beat the snot out of them in the playoffs!

      Last year they picked ahead of us because of a terrible rule that says if two teams finish with the same record, the tie breaker is strength of schedule.

      This year it's because we kicked their butts and went further in the playoffs. I'm much more OK with them picking ahead of us this year. ;)

    4. RavensFanMania

      RavensFanMania

      I'm also ok with the strength of schedule rule if the teams hadn't played one another. However, if the teams played each other they should use head to head as the barometer.

  4. 9/10/14:Carolina Panther Greg Hardy was found guilty Tuesday night of assaulting his former girlfriend and threatening to kill her. I await swift & harsh punishment. Why have the Panthers not released him yet?

      FYI, he wasn't found guilty last night. Last I heard his case was in November or something.

      Life isn't fair. Rice was caught on video and was handled incorrectly.

    3. RavensAllTheWay

      I think he was found guilty in July, but has appealed. He'll have his appeal heard in November, I believe.

      Okay gotcha. Just goes to show you can't trust the internet news - article was dated 9/10 - even went back and checked! Was still found guilty though and nothing was done.

      Hardbaugh

      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.

      They don't have the talent to compete with a team like the Falcons in that Dome. Hard to pin it on Lovie not being a great HC, imo.

    3. ravensdfan

      ravensdfan

      Lovie is a player's coach. But his history kind of speaks for itself. Just not that great of a HC IMO.

  14. So now everyone wants to backpedal their immediate condemnation of the organization based on heresay evidence. And KVV couldn't even show his face. Hmmm...guess perhaps next time some won't rush to judgement. Bring on those Panthers & Get Well Pitta!

      What is the truth? That's the question. Are we going to really know even when the investigation is done? How is it that reporters can put info out there that is hearsay? Do they have any self worth?

  16. I am curious why Rolando McClain didn't want to play for the Ravens.

    1. ravensdfan

      ravensdfan

      oh not saying he had to love us lol Just a curious question I'll probably never know the answer to.

    2. TDubbs

      TDubbs

      I don't think its that he didn't want to play here, he just didn't know he wanted to play yet, and we couldn't give him that time. He's playing exceptional though, Mosley/Rolando could have been a fun combo for years to come.

    3. SeaHawk

      Meh, I'm not sold on him tbh. He did this with the Raiders too, before he flamed out majorly. Who's to say he won't do it again?
