feels like we should have gotten more, good to move up in the 3rd round though

You can use social media to follow the Ravens but as far as conversations it's limited. It's more just people making a one post comment that doesn't go any further...here you can have a back and forth. I haven't been around on the regular in years but it was always nice to come here and read up on what other fans were thinking.

Steve is smart, he knows what he is doing...sense of urgency is needed, light that fire under their asses

No run game, poor run blocking, poor pass protection at times....for a team that likes play action and throwing deep that's no bueno.

the Bills beat the Cardinals today, the Panthers lost at home to the Vikings...The Browns...well the Browns lost ...the Ravens are toughening up, building their calluses for when the real season starts...let me know when you see January Joe...then I'll know its time to get serious

Expecting a loss, hoping I'm wrong...deserved to lose last week against a much lesser Browns team. Can't start slow on the road and expect the defense to post a shutout for 3 quarters.

Perriman goes off for 200+ yards....BOOM

True believer the game is won and lost in the trenches. Ravens win if they play well on the OL and DL...simple

I'm usually optimistic but I'm not going that far. I just want to win and I'll take it however it comes...I don't see a blowout mostly because I don't think our defense can hold teams down like in the past. This team has to prove it before I get my hopes too high...last year is still fresh

wizard whip yourself up a magic potion to eliminate negativity...just a smidge

this topic is absurd

I like the schedule, think it sets up very nice for us...then again I'm a big homer and always thinking positive. Nothing really hard until we get to latter part of schedule with Pats, Steelers, Bengals.... If we get any improvement from our defense and we have health on offense I can see us going 11-5, 12-4

I'm not really high on Bosa...not hearing great things about him, hope the Ravens pass...in a perfect world they get Ramsey...but that's not happening. We do need pass rushers though...maybe Buckner

I think it needs young blood, definitely draft a WR if there's someone available...Steve Smith and Mike Wallace aren't long term answers..if Perriman can stay healthy and prove to be a stud that would help but we need to be 4 or 5 reliable WRs deep...I like Aiken as a 3rd option...if he was the 4th WR we'd be pretty set

That's good, maybe he matured and learned from how things went down in Miami

Might be right, man that's my draft dream right there, Ramsey somehow falling to us...

When I saw it I thought it was a good deal...hope he meshes well with out system and Joe's arm. Didn't like how he acted in Miami

i've wanted eric weddle for the last year or two, ever since the Chargers didnt want to address his contract and make him a charger for life. this is awesome news

A lot of the problems facing the team have to do with scouting, player development, the draft, the front office.. ..Flacco would be way down on any list of why the Ravens haven't been consistently good after their SB win. Flacco just has haters and always will...look around him, see the lack of talent on both sides of the ball, and it hasnt been his contract why we didnt have any, that excuse is inaccurate. I think Ozzie and those guys do a great job but lately we've missed on draft picks and had some bad luck... Look at what Bradford and now Brock Osweiler is about to get a big jump in pay after 7? starts? they've done nothing..

Tucker will get a long term deal at some point Upshaw will test his value on open market and I can see the Ravens retaining him on a relatively cheap deal, he's like Double J..with less sacks. KO is gone imo..he wants to be highest paid guard or whatever..his value has gone up playing LT. I know Ravens made offer to him but they won't be able to match what another team can/will give. He comes back if he just wants to stay in Bmore

Matt Elam and Arthur Brown...notice after that draft an emphasis was put on football intelligence.....smart players. I thought Brown would be a beast for us too

One that I really pulled for and tried to defend when he was on the team was Kyle Boller...knowing that he didn't have 'IT'...whatever it is. Dude was a great dancer I imagine 'cause his feet never would stop moving...I think he was scared in the pocket. Really hoped he would develop... Too many guys to list or remember through the years.

in our case you have to run the ball to get the passing game going. in some instances if your passing offense is so prolific you can use the pass to kick start the run game but our passing attack is not near those levels. so we hope for a solid performance by our Oline...which is key to both

def risk with foster...he going to NE

the entire secondary, but most importantly our DBs who dont know how to turn back for the football..is it lazy? do they not know how? do they not care? Jimmy Smith could have had 3 or 4 more INTs if he would play better technique.... you see lesser guys on other teams making these plays...how is it none of our guys can do this? we just face guard and get flags thrown
