  1. Like Suggs it will take a few games for him to get into game shape, Suggs looked real rusty his first game, but has gotten better each week.....But am i happy he is good to go, because once he catches up, it will be awesome, as Z, and Judon have proven to be excellent fill ins, so if they have to give either a blow, their isn't much let off, as both of them have high octane motors...
  2. It's not hate. It is the fact to be a Raven you gotta LOVE beating the Steelers! And add in the Bengals now too. Time to throw out the word "hate" from our vocabulary, it doesn't make things any better using it and detracts from the real goal of winning.. fact is, players from both sides use that word, and we will never dislike the Bengals like we do the Steelers, not even close....
  3. You can't be a Raven unless you hate the Steelers, and you can't be a Steeler unless you hate the Ravens, it's in their contracts........:) Good times....
  4. Raiders 2nd in the league in rushing, and it has a lot to do with KO, and we are sucking, and it has a lot to do with not having KO....But you can;t pay what we don't have, but i have always been a fan of KO, he is old school, nasty.....
  5. Well....Harbs is bent on getting the run game going, so teams are focused on stopping the run, nothing wrong with Flacco throwing to our weapons, and winning games....You take what the defense gives you, and in all 3 games, their focus was to stop the run.....As long as we get the W , i don't care if we run the ball 15 times....
  6. Always felt with his speed they needed to move AB outside,and at the time move Upshaw inside....
  7. Judon, Pierce, Z are the real deal, and if Henry can get on the field he will be a mini version of Jernigan at this point and time....Judon and Z might nit have gotten a sack, but they sure did lay the lumber on McGowan....
  8. I have watched the game 3 times, and there was a play where Pitta made a catch had his back turned and threw the ball back, and hit a Browns player in the helmet area, and i am sure that wasn't his intention, but i think the rules need to really be defined, as i did not see Pryor do it in a taunting fashion....To be safe, players need to hand the ball to the ref, or just drop it on the ground....JMO....
  9. I'm good with Trestman, the WR's are running solid routes, and getting open, and the running game, we have to be patient with two rookies manning the left side....The mandate to run the ball at all cost is coming from Harbs, some teams just do a good job at stopping the run....Now Pees, never been a big fan of his, and if all goes well, the Bills will continue to lose, Rex gets fired, and we can get him back, or Spags in Indy....:)
  10. The call was probably all set u from the personal foul call on Coleman on J.Smith, refs probably thought the Browns WR's were justs talking to much smack, and over-reacted to Pryors ball toss, yes i think we can all agree the call was weak, but they got a TD when the foot was clearly on the white line. Things seem to even themselves out in games....Also there was no guarantee they would have scored, not like they took a TD away.....And Hue being a solid coach is probably more concerned that his team couldn't play 4 quarters of ball, and not just 1 good one....So is it next Sunday yet???....:)
  11. Iliek Forsett and West, but i said this when camp broke, i would love to see Houston get a shot, he is a bigger back at 6 foot, and has a nice burst....I have always been a fan of the taller backs, the smaller ones have served us well, but not making 4th and inches two weeks in a row just isn't a good thing....
  12. I think Joe Flacco is still pro bowl material. Yeah he wasn't perfect yesterday, but we have absolutely no running game and after the first quarter, Flacco got on a roll. I'm not liking the play calling so far. The Ravens failing in short yardage has nothing to do with Flacco at times. I'm tired of seeing those dumb pitches to the outside when we should be running between the tackles. And another thing, you can blame Harbaugh for the poor clock management, but Forsett ran out of bound when he should have known to stay in on a second down play. It's easy to point fingers to the men in charge, but you really have no idea whats going on in the game. We were also unlucky multiple times. Yeah the Pryor flag was BS, but Coleman was out of bounds on that first TD. Pitta wasn't quite set on that Moore reception that would have put the game away pretty much, and he also dropped a TD pass. The second interception by Flacco was just a little underthrown. I understand what he was doing, but he needs to put that at the back of the endzone instead of a jump ball. I think Flacco looks okay. Perfect? No. He will be just fine though. I'm more concerned with the running game and our defense getting off the field on 3rd down. Good reply. Drew Brees is a perennial pro bowler. The Saints are 0-2. Quick, would you rather be 2-0 or 0-2? Exactly. That why l'm been telling fans. Drew Brees is a stat QB nothing else. He throws 300 and 400 yard type games but no wins to show for it. To me, he usually average 7-9 wins a year. Joe sometimes might don't have good stats but he still finds ways to win. Saints D just sucks is all, if Brees played on a team that had a decent defense, they would be in it every year.....He has to outscore the other team all the time to get a win..... Maybe? But the stats are not winning Drew games. Brees isn't out there to work on stats, he is out their trying to score points for his team, and if the D can't make the points he puts on the board stand, it's not on him.....
  13. yep, some fans are not happy unless our wins are dominating....AFCN games are always tough, because records have never mattered....Think about how our young players stepped up, and played a big role in this comeback, now that is something to get very excited about....JMO...

  15. they did beat up McCown though. Big DL play in the last 3 quarters. That late pass was troubling though...Pittsburgh and Cincy are watching that one. I agree, thats the one thing that i really don't like about Pees D, when we protect a lead, instead of continuing to be aggressive, and we go to the prevent defense which i can;t stand.....You know Pit would be bringing, betting that their guys would get to the QB before he could get a deep pass off, and our CB's giving the cushion they were giving won't get it done, more press coverage, and trust the back end will have your back.....
  16. I'm very impressed with how all the young players handled this, think of all the rookies who played a role, Stanley,Lewis, Judon,Pierce, Z 2nd year player, Orr first year starter.....Wallace is making Oz once again, looking like a genius...Mike thanks for stinking for the last 3 years so we could scoop you up in bring you back into the division where you shined....:)
  17. today was the Pitta show, just no enough balls for Aiken, and i do want him to get some chances as he earned it....
  18. I agree, but it is still so early in the year, the team will get better, and hopefully stay healthy, as over the first two weeks i have seen so many teams lose players, and scrambling the FA market for players, and The Browns might be another team searching for another QB, and possibly center....If we can stay healthy, and hold the fort down until doom gets back we will really get better....The offense i give somewhat a pass, as the passing game is there and the WR are getting open, but the running game will take time, as we must remind ourselves, we have two rookies manning the left side, and possibly getting Urschel paying center could help...but 2-0 sure is nice.....
  19. Well, i give the entire team tons of credit for keeping their focus after the death of what i consider a Icon in Ravens history in CB....
  20. I think it is more Harbs trying to force us to be able to run, but if it isn't there, take what the defense gives you....and we did and won...
  21. After 2 games, that were completely different, i'm not going to hate on 2-0....Bills had 160 yards total offense last week, and then had 393 yards against a Jets defense, and then we allow 387 yards against a division opponent, yet come back from 20 down....This is the N.FL. if people are expecting us to blow teams out week in and week out, will be terribly disappointed.....Bottom line these two wins are games we lost last year, and now things are going our way, and there is no doubt what the deep threats we have on the team have already made a huge difference...And the Defense stood tall when they had to....2-0 is all that matters, we just have to keep improving.....so is it next Sunday yet???
  22. He did, but his play also won us the game, because we had zero running game.....It evens out with him..... I would say most pedestrian QBs could've put up 2TD/2INT game off the streets. And most pedestrian QB's don't bring back teams down 20-0....Focus on the passes he made versus the 2 int's.....300 yard game, is a good game, and 2 TD's......
  23. No easy divisional games, all are dog fights.....And we like it that way, that is why the AFCN is truly the toughest division....
  24. Might be somewhat of a short week for us as i am sure many will be going to CB's funeral.....That i know will be rough on so many....Still feels like a punch in the gut losing him...
