The Ravens are 2-6. Jacoby is a Steeler. The Bengals are 8-0. The Universe is off its axis! Help!
@fly Yep, most certainly. That is why we have this current warming trend. All the cold is down in Hell!
Jacoby is going where he is "wanted". That's obviously not with the Ravens and if it is with the Steelers...and it is.....then so be it! Good for him to find another job elsewhere!
I look at it, the same way as the Steeler fans did when we got Rod Woodson, you win a few and you lose a few.
Where is our Behind the Bench for the Steelers' game? Where oh where?
@Mr. Nobody Dang! That's harsh! lol
The segment after "The Return" is hilarious! Torrey doesn't believe Jacoby until the replay comes up on the screen. Dragonfly's comments and reactions are a riot.
Yeah, I loved how he thanked the fans when they began booing.
Peyton gets benched. Sad.
Yeah as all he needs is one more win to beat Brett Favre. But really start Brock O the rest of the season.
Whats sad was the 4th round pick I wasted on him in fantasy...
And add another mysterious injury to the list. It's just BAD this season.
After some research, I'm warming up to T. Brooks - not saying he's the next Ed Reed or anything crazy - just warming up to him.
He's my favorite of this year's draft picks. I think he's going to be a baller.
@Mili I think he'll get the playing time but I hear you though. No playing time until year 3 - then gone in FA. Not really getting our traction out of our rookies that way. I agree there is only one Reed & Lewis - but they can be Reed-like and Lewis-like right? ![]()
@Ed_Reed20 I hope you're right. I wasn't crazy about this pick but the more I read & see - the more I think my initial assessment was incorrect. (cuz I'm never actually wrong
j/k)
I absolutely agree that they can be "Ray and Ed-like" as long as they are coached up and allowed to get on the field and learn from their mistakes. As far as Brooks? This kid is a beast! He gave my VT Hokies fits. Lol! I'd love to see him and Elam on the backend of our defense.
Being all sentimental I know, but I hate seeing Wallace in Jacoby's #12.
I hope you're right about the resurgence of his career, but no, won't be feeling it if someone wears it after Wallace because of that. It was about who Jacoby was, not just what he did on the field.
While Jacoby is one my favorite Raven's ever, I'm sure Wallace will contribute just as much, if not more (though Jacoby was the best return man in the game during his time here so I'm hesitant on the "more" part).Â
He might just be waiting to see what happens with the other numbers. It could change but, yeah, it is weird.
After 3 years of 2 part-time jobs, I've finally managed a full time gig. Now I will get to watch all the games live from start to end. I'm excited!
@Willbacker Yep pretty much every Sunday - it did stink!
@The Raven Thanks! I can't wait to start!
Welcome to the club of those of us who get to watch the games LIVE! There goes the neighborhood! Smh! LOL!!!!!
You ain't kidding. I'll be in the game thread going nuts! LOL
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
Wooohooo! Getting the Ravens game here on Sunday! ![]()
Living in PA myself, I feel your pain. Fortunately my Dad's second wife has a satellite at her house that'll pick up WJZ in Baltimore.
That's awesome 3-4rave. I could get Sunday ticket but saving up for a car right now so can't justify the expense.
Wasn't on in the DC area due to FCC/NFL blackout rules. Watched it at Rock Bottom Arlington on the Sunday Ticket.
Oh Dean Pees is having another presser! Can't wait.
This is a serious problem. Certainly some is on the players but when you are not even a part of the issue and need to change nothing. Big problem.
Are you serious. He really blamed the players. Sounds like RG3.
This weeks game plan play 15 yds off
Tucker's "I'll end up where I'm supposed to" comment does not make me confident.
The restructure with Flacco's contract will happen in February.
What else is he supposed to say?
Also I think Tucker gets Tagged so he will be back.
At the risk of appearing stupid, can anyone explain to me how the Steelers finish 2nd to our 3rd in the division and pick ahead of us in the draft?
Maybe Tomlin's 'mistake' can help us come draft time?
Maybe berad, maybe! I hope so!
Unfortunately, Tomlin's cheat would only get us ahead in the order in one of the late rounds. If they strip them of a pick.
I find it amusing that all the other fans of 3-1 teams are happy with their great start. While we are disappointed we aren't 4-0.
I don't find it amusing at all ravensdfan.  Speaking for myself, personally, I couldn't care less how other fan bases feel about their teams and their records.  I'm a Ravens fan and am emotionally and at times financially invested in "my" team and how they perform (as we all are).  Therefore, my standard for "our" team and their game play is extremely high.  I expect perfection from our boys! ![]()
![]()
Well yeah, we all do and believe me no one was more ticked we lost to Oakland than me lol I guess I kind of took for granted that all fan bases were like us and when I went perusing, that wasn't the case ![]()
I think the loss just hurts because of how many times we had a chance to win it and be 4-0 instead the Ravens shot themselves in the foot and are 3-1. Going for 2, The O-line protection, the inaccurate throws, the fumbles, missed catches, No pressure on Carr from the d-line and Wright getting owned!!!!
Just don't let Kap look like a world beater. Please.
Well I thought asking for a win might be pushing it so asking we seem respectable lol
JO 75 The Broncos defense has more talent and defintiely better cornerbacks
their pass rusher is way better than ours as well
typicall joe this season he is really getting under my skin cant you just complete throws and keep the drive alive omg
I put a lot of faith in this board at draft time. I don't follow college sports so I rely on the knowledge of the draft prospects from the posters & conversations here. Don't let me down! lol
Is that like a mix of Terrence & Torrey?
Yeah, it's not even his real name which is "James" but that's what I call our #82 when he makes a play
Yes it's been pretty reliable in past years. Torrence huh? I like it! lol
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.
Okay, Sonic Raven is back since no one recognized me anymore lol
Well, someone's craving attention, aren't they? ![]()
Hey I live in Steeler country, I need my fellow Ravens fans to recognize me lol
I know the feeling. I'm surrounded by both Steelers and Eagles fans.
I'm honestly kind of in shock. Flacco was a constant and now, ...ugh.
Tell me yesterday was a bad nightmare and today Joe and Justin are just getting treatment. Say it ain't so, please!!
Same, I felt pretty empty.
There's Yanda... I should probably delete this before i curse him...
Congratulations to Joe & Marlon for NSN Moment & Pepsi Rookie of the Week! You'd think BR.com would have a little somethin' somethin' about it huh?
Big ups!!!
It took me a bit to find out who won on that site too! Have to give props to RSR for finding it.
Wish I had known. Cool. Had it posted in one of topics under 'NFL Best Franchise'.
I am concerned about Flacco wearing a brace all season. Last time I saw him wear a brace, he was like a statue. ![]()
These may be highlights but it's also the most concentrated Flacco footage you'll see from yesterday - http://www.baltimoreravens.com/videos/videos/Highlights-Flaccos-First-Practice-After-Injury/ad078461-f3ce-4772-a215-adb63386fdca
last time he wore a brace he had a knee 1 week removed from an injury and likely was full of fluid and felt like it could buckle any moment. ive suffered a repeatedly torn MCL over the past 5 years and i know the feeling. this is different.
Thanks guys! Made me feel a little better about it!
With zero fine for Levy, I have no faith in any fairness from the NFL at all.
IMO the NFL has just declared open season on our QB. The O line is going to have to pass protect to near perfection. I see some cheap shots coming if the Pats are given the opportunity.
If that had been Brady, Levy would have been suspended for the rest of the season, possibly next season too.
Problem is Shipley pushed him, so Levy would have won any appeal. Shipley really needs to step his play up.
There you go. That is the Ravens without Joe Flacco. Hope all the haters enjoyed it.
$6M on the cap this season. Which we spent on defense. What did we spend on offense? Oh that's right, nothing. He was out there injured & with a bulky brace because a gimpy Flacco is better than a healthy Taylor. Oh and for the record, despite the fact that he lost all his weapons but Torrey this season, he DID come close to winning every game except 2. Hmmm...you fail.
after yesterday now folks can stop calling for flacco to be benched and for taylor to start.and will finally see joe's importance for this team
When Joe Flacco is not himself the whole offense does not work. He is like the heart.
Soooo what are we thinking the press conference will be? Just a pep talk?
Discussing the Game of Thrones finale.
I'm thinking just your run of the mill post practice pressers.
"I believe in our guys. They're hungry for this season, they're looking really good and we're excited about what they're going to produce for us."
There you go Mike Preston. Quote me.
Go USA! Good luck against Germany!
'MURICA!!!
On to beat Belgium!
Well they lost but get to advance. Good luck USA!
Happy Canada Day to our Candaian fans. We have Canadian fans right? lol
I thought there were a few! ![]()
Spent it on the road in Edmonton. It was a great day.
Beautiful Edmonton ... Niagara Falls for me.
I hate Sunday night games. Seems like forever until we play.
I actually love them here on the west coast. It gets annoying having to wake up at 10 after every saturday night.
It's more annoying to get up at 4:30am on Monday!
LOL Well here on the East Coast it feels like forever and a day waiting for Sunday night. Especially while there is football all day long and you're like - I want to see my Ravens!
