as long as Steelers and Pats don't win the whole thing then i'll be alright......
I'm rooting for the Packers....
wow, Texans play good defensively; that goal line stand was spectacular cuz few team can really stop NE at 1yd line....

The cheapest seats for the game went for $134 on Sunday on ticket tracking and resale site SeatGeek but could be had for as little as $27 on Friday.
You don't mess around with icy rain.....
Castillo may be bad at running the ground scheme, but he is great at developing young linemen.
Something fishy going on in the Ravens staff room.....
I just posted my shares of sympathy on the main page about David....
anyhow
RIP David Modell
PS: Without him, our fan base wont be the same in term of team and fans connection. He is one big bridge that connects us to the Ravens players and staffs....
great man behind the scene; really appreciated what his father did to the Ravens nation and really appreciated what David did and follow his dad's footsteps to keep the Ravens nation in good faith. Every good house starts with a great foundation and the Baltimore Ravens started with great foundation from Art and David Modell.
RIP
It's safe to stay home and watch the game on big flat 4k TV..................

a cracked hips i guess; he looked bad after the hit.
Rodgers' offense need 1st quarter to get warmed up so finish your choirs and tune in the second half....

I think it's about Harbs' decision after all; 2017 is his last chance to prove his abilities to turn 8 wins into 11 wins, preference to Steve's statement.
Steve trusts John to put together to right coaching staffs to sail this team to promise land and we have to see about that.
John's contract has 2 years left and if his 2017 season returns to 8-8, Steve won't renew his contract......

so it's just dummy title position given to him until he is handed an official OC position in week 4.........
Now, we know why so many HCs who want to revive their career by coming to Baltimore first.......\
I can't seem to find any billionaire owner who is so calm, truthful, respectful, caring, and articulate like Mr Bisciotti......
PS: At least, I'm optimistic about the next season......

Somehow, it was not a topic to discuss what the record was for teams travelling across the country to play a 1 PM game.
Virginia has a lot of people, but the majority of them are in NoVa, which is a D.C. suburb and expands for miles. This is Redskins territory. Then there is Richmond and the Tidewater areas - both separated by too great a distance to be combined and each individually not likely big enough to support an NFL franchise. Most people in these 2 areas have always leaned heavily toward the Redskins.
Yeah, the time zone is the problem too
The Redskins have been dominating the fan base in Maryland, D.C, and Virginia for so many years; the thing about B-more Ravens have their own fan base cuz of the merging of B-more Colts old fan base.
LA didn't even have any fan base except some mixed of NFL fan base but none like the Rams or the Chargers; I think it's a bad business for the Chargers to move there.
He should just sell the team instead of moving around and lose the value of the team if he ever decides to sell.....
1 minute ago, JO_75 said:Yeah so now St. Louis and San Diego have fell victim to the NFL's love for LA. Honestly I don't think 2 teams in LA will work. I think the Chargers will end up moving out of LA and this will be a total failure.
He might end up selling the team.....
So teams only move within their divisional location? such as West teams have to stay in the West coast. Virginia is one of the biggest commercial states but they don't have a team; whey don't Teams like Chargers move there?
2 minutes ago, JO_75 said:Just got home, watching NFL Network and fans are pissed. Fans were shown on NFL Network throwing their jerseys and Chargers gear out front of the Chargers facility. One man went as far as egging the the Chargers facility.
Well after 55yrs with the team, I wouldn't blame fans' reaction to such a stunner decision from the Chargers....
I wonder why the Chargers decide to move to LA after all these years and the Rams already in LA as well......is LA giving out free Jelly beans or something?
49 minutes ago, ravens rule said:If your not Rodgers, Brees, Brady, and Luck you need a running game. 3 of the last 4 seasons we have been horrible running the ball. Flacco is not great but he has skills that need to be utilized better. I expect a bounce back year and I'm not even a big Flacco fan anymore.
Brees has Ingram and Hightower, Brady has Blount, Luck has Gore, and Rodger has a WR running as RB; all of these guys, only Rodgers deserves the title of "I don't need a RB"
About for Joe, he does share blame of another disappointing season; Joe is a very good systematic QB; if we put him in the right system he will be elite. 2017 will be the test. Joe needs to fix his accuracy cuz he was way off in 2016, but I'll give him a temporary pass due to his previous injuries. In 2017, Joe needs to be the guy who we thought he would be, 2013 SB MVP....
Regardless, we are blessed as Ravens nation to have such a great owner, Steve Bisciotti; he cares about the team and fans....
PS: don't take for granted.....
22 minutes ago, ravensnation5220 said:One thing they made very clear was that people like us always throw the blame on a single person whether it be; Joe flacco not playing well enough, harbaugh not having the control of the team anymore, or to fire marty or pees, and Ozzies draft struggles when in reality, which Steve made be clear was that it was a combination of everyone underperforming their expectations. This comming year he's expecting everyone to improve. Seems like he's trying to light a fire under everyone or else changes will be made
John said repeatedly he makes all decisions on coach changes and Steve never intervenes; 2017 is the year to determine John's faith for 2018.....
1 hour ago, ellicottraven said:I doubt he is the calculating type though. He seemed incredibly loyal to Kubiak right through where he willingly sacrificed an OC position here at the Ravens to make way for his laid off boss! He seems like a morally and ethically upright dude!
But your point is noted but I have a small disagreement with you in that 8 weeks is too darn long! I doubt his offensive playcalling will allow him such a long reign in 2017! But, the fool that I am, I tend to intrinsically believe that the Ravens will be winning a SB in 2017...
Kubiak said he steps away from coaching so Dennison has to look for another job...I'll bet Kubiak would advise him to come back to B-more cuz Kubiak owed us for giving him opportunity to excel as OC before his dream job was opened.....
I want to play long snapper; nice salary with virtually no injury and no sweating....
1 hour ago, Moderator 3 said:Getting Coughlin in there might be their best move.
I agree...The Jags somehow make a good move for their future....
well, I don't think he is coaching any team in NFL right now; he does helped Joe playing top of his game but there was something going on that year which got him fired.....
I think Rick Dennison is the perfect fit as QB coach cuz he is with Kubiak for so many years, running West Coast offense with zone blocking O-line. He knows Kubiak's offense inside out and Marty is also running the same kind of offense...
May be with a healthy Joe and healthy O-line, we might have a good 2017 season........
I'm looking forward for it......

well, it's obvious that the other team worked hard catching balls, running routes and reviewing game plans for the playoff and he and his teammates worked hard swimming in Miami beach...We all know the outcome of the game.....
He is passionate but to the wrong intention.....nothing is given in life.....
