Watching the Packers struggle kind of makes you feel less bad about our offense's pathetic showing in Denver.

Not happy when they lose, not happy when they win. Seriously, do people just watch sports to get angry?

When Steve came in, he was an over-the-hill, slow possession receiver who would be #2 to Torrey. What a turnaround since then. Here's hoping he's got one more season left.

Joe doing work with receivers acquired for a total of a 2017 7th round pick.

Yes, but beating Pittsburgh works in our favor.

You foresaw Greg Gumbel's comment.

Well it wouldn't be a Ravens game without a TD drive needed and 2 or more offensive guys going down.

The screens have been terrible but throwing the ball aggressively and often is exactly what I was hoping for. Now the run can open up and we should see a lot more of it.

What do you do when you have more blitzers than blockers? You can't just keep bringing in more blockers. Should we just never run 3 WR sets? QBs get the ball out quickly to their favorable matchup when they're blitzed. For most teams that means a speedy slot receiver on a quick screen, for others it's a towering wide receiver on a fade route. For ours, it's a 2nd year TE still learning to run routes. Oh well.

The offense needs more downfield throwing. Otherwise it's been impressive, keeping pace with our lousy defense.

As sucky as it is to lose, I have to admire the players actually stepping up. The DBs played great after a shaky start. Everyone on defense had their moment. Allen, Steve Smith and Gillmore showed that they were tougher than the defenders. The team overall played better as the game went on. Unfortunately, the circumstances were just stacked against us. Overlooking the botched officiating, we ended the game missing about half our starters against a team that has virtually no starters injured until one of their CBs got hurt. Away on a Monday night is just a really rough spot to be in with all that.

That's because we run all this underneath crap. And use play-action that fools no one. When Joe is in shotgun we're pretty good.

No one ever talks about how bad our run game is. Every week it's "They need to run to open up the pass", and every week it's been just the opposite. Until the offense sees that the pass game opens up the run, they will struggle early in games.

If you guys dont like Trestman, maybe we can get Jim Bob Cooter. Cooter and Pees. It just sounds right.

Yes, choke hold to be exact.

Knee was down. Come on.

Truck Allen and the Unstoppable Forse'

It's not like Magee was going to be active.

Suggs, Perriman, Webb, Monroe, Campanaro, Taliaferro, Canty, Pitta, Will Davis... all starters or key contributors, and all but Webb have missed most of the season. That's a lot.

Are you kidding? We get more comp picks than anyone. Not to mention all the unknown free agents who come here and have breakout seasons. Ihedigbo, Graham, Forsett... These were guys tossed around the league.

We were starting a CB who was inactive all year and then cut, but at least we made up for it by moving our special teams ILB to OLB. This team has just been completely gutted by injuries.

So TDs to Aiken and Achin'.

I'm a Trawick fan.

We haven't allowed a 1st down since Trawick entered. Coincidence? Yes.

What's wrong with Trestman? Look at what he has to work with.
