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
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!
Crabtree sure would've been nice...
Marlontron still makes me laugh. Hilarious.
Sad for Marlon though too. Pretty sure his NFL career is over.
So have a Merry Christmas everyone.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
happy late Chanukah
Merry Christmas Everyone
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. ![]()
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.
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.
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.
Moving in 13 days (blech! hate moving) and will lose my DirectTV Sunday Ticket *sigh*
We're all traveling fools! LOL
Guess ill join the club, moved in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and have to move again this upcoming month.
I never even had cable of my own... just internet streams.
I'm one lonely Raven.

I can admit when I was wrong. Was wrong about the O's. They came to play this season! Go O's!
I'm from New York! Of course the Yankees!! Lol!
Well at least you're not a Jets' fan!
Lol!!
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.
Didn't want Kubiak to see the SB because he went back on his word. Lesser of three evils & all that though: TY Denver! Now take down the evil Patriots!
He went back on his word, that might not mean anything to some people but it says a lot to me. I'm not even bitter he's gone, I don't want someone here who wants to be somewhere else.
My choices in order
1. Cardinals
2 Panthers
3. Broncos
4. Patriots
^same here
Worst playoffs ever! Hate every single team left. Is it possible for the SB to end in a tie? lol
Of all the last 4 teams, Seahawks get the most love from me and 40whiners get the most hatred from me....
Oh I hate the Seahawks, as Pete Carroll is the Toby to my Michael. But they are the lesser of four evils so.....
GO SEAHAWKS(But Pete Carroll Sucks)
I agree with sam on this one i cant stand pete carroll but I dont like anyone else either but i guess seahwks by default
Been a rough week for us Ravens fans but it's time to get back to football! Let's beat those Steelers!
@Alaska I could give a hoot 'n nanny about the NFL itself. Let's do this Thursday night and show the world who we are!
Amen!
They're my team and I'm sticking with them! You should too.
Well, Rex is still being Rex. smh
If anything, Rex is certainly entertaining. lol
He IS entertaining. I think he is a fairly bad HC but a great DC. Only my opinion though.
It'll be interesting to see if the Bills end up being a dysfunctional mess too.
Lovie Smith is such a great guy, but so obviously not a great HC. Have to feel for the guy.
Julio Jones is a beast! Not sure how you stop the guy... It would be nice to see Flaccos strong arm with a weapon like that!
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.
Lovie is a player's coach. But his history kind of speaks for itself. Just not that great of a HC IMO.
Ok. I love Ray Lewis but dude, I mean, not everything is about you. Plus, you might want to check with your brain sometimes before you speak. "not everything you can cover up". Yikes.
Every Sunday when he's on ESPN he's trending on twitter and I barely ever want to look lol
He not only made himself look guilty as sin but he sounded like a total idiot
He mispoke. This is a tough situation to be in. Everyone outside of Baltimore thinks he got away with murder. Any comment like this just adds fuel to the fire. He has to watch his words and really think before he speaks.
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?
Overinflated self worth, totally deflated self respect.
The truth is out there.... *X-Files theme*
I am trying to resign myself to the site's new look but, where the heck is my Forum button now???????
I'm not sure if it my issue since my internet is very slow but my banner most the time will not pop up for any of the buttons... Which is why I enjoyed the forums button. Probably while others are having the same issue.
flock -> message boards
@Lost Thanks. It's the grandson.
@Moderator 3 The flock button works once I get in here but right after I sign in no such luck. I have to click my name to get here.
I am curious why Rolando McClain didn't want to play for the Ravens.
oh not saying he had to love us lol Just a curious question I'll probably never know the answer to.
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.
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?
So, we're Twitter now on the right? smh
No we are most certainly NOT Twitter .  Ivision did an update yesterday and did not tell us smh  This is what they told us is/was happening "We upgraded your site to the latest version early this morning. You were probably temporarily seeing old status updates as the index rebuilt. They look to be current now.
Just an FYI.
Â
Oops! Well here's to it getting sorted out.
What ever 'the fix' is has made it worse!
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.
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?
Sunday tomorrow. No Ravens
Go Chiefs! lol
bengals look legit this year..different feel about them than in previous years.
I'm starting to feel the same way now. We'll see what happens come playoff time.
I am not sold on the Bengals. Chiefs had their opportunities. Chargers brought the Browns down to join us. Pitt takes another loss and we can manage a win - they'll join us too.
I am convinced that we could be 14-0, Flacco have a stinker for Game 15 and we lose and some here would want him benched for messing up our undefeated season lol
lets face it until flacco throws 40 tds in a season no one is ever going to respect him and why should they
Yep because any old QB can do what he's done in his first 6 yrs - oh wait - no one has in the history of the NFL. Go figure.
Wins and losses aren't QB stats. QB stats are QB stats.
On paper right now: Offense = potent. Defense = stifling. ST = masterful. Let's hope it all transfers to the field!
Potent, Stifling, Masterful! That's a great Ravens Tag Line
I need to see something solid from a returner to be totally satisfied there but the rest looks really good. Need Wagner and Jimmy to rebound from their injuries and play strong.
True about the returning duties but I think we have some guys on the roster who will be more than adequate there. Like I said: on paper. Just hoping it all show up on Sundays!
I'm having a moment of silence for the RGIII that could have been if he'd gone anywhere but to Washington.
lol yes ngata gets some responsibility as well.
poor mechanics, bad vision, bad football IQ, below average passer by NFL standards. When you have those traits, it doesn't matter where you play...
Too much money, sacrifice of many picks for a one year hooha in DC
Warren Sapp on Ray Rice: "This is as black & white as it gets & really hits home for me because I have 3 daughters." This just in: "Warren Sapp just charged with 3 counts of domestic violence against his GF" Gotta love hypocrites.
idiot
Could never stand Sapp. Hes not the only one though. Alot of the player that commented they took offense to what Ray Rice did, arent perfect people neither.
@edreed2o It's okay not to be perfect. Just be careful not to try to act like you are when judging others.
