I'm with ya, steelcityraven

These forums exist so that fans can discuss their opinions. Silly to say that someone with an opinion different than yours is a "hater." No one here hates the Ravens. Those people post to the Pittsburgh Steelers forums. ya could have fooled me.

I agree. The only thing Aiken lacks is more passes his way.

you sound like you read the "Cleveland Browns Way To A Great Team" manual.

having a "tweaked" hamstring wouldn't prevent him from practicing catching punts. From what Ive seen, he looks indecisive and hesitant and not at all confident catching punts and kickoffs. Reminds me of the beginning of softball season and long ball practice for the outfielders.

That's like having a family meeting and letting the kids tear the parents apart or a class meeting and let the students tear the teacher apart. It just undermines the authority and does no good. Most of the players are very young and don't know what makes a good team. They need to know their role and do their jobs.

Signing the woman beater to an absurd contract negatively impacted a lot of personnel decisions. Add to the fact that B. Pierce sucked it really set back the FO''s business plan to this day as evident by the product. We should have kept Rice and hes no woman beater anymore than you are.

Those questions should bother him because they aren't fair questions, both of those interceptions were just terrible throws by a QB who was gunshy all day. Why would anyone even implicate Perriman in either interception? All Joe. Don't give up on Perriman just yet. Essentially he is a rookie, still learning. He may come back to haunt us. The question is why can't Ozzie select a quality wide receiver. We have so many TE's on the roster and are not being used or properly used. When was the last time the Ravens used three wide receivers to spread the field. I say this again and again, coaching. its not the WR's we select, its the stupid routes they are made to run and the lackadaisical way they run them. That's why SSS and Wallace are our best WRs. They knew how to run a route before they got here.

looks like the rats are jumping ship

So tired of hearing this Flacco contract argument. He's getting paid what the average successful QB is getting paid. Romo is making $18 million, Kap is making $19 million, Cousins is making $20 million, Tannehill is making $20 million, Carson Palmer is making $25 million. Do you even know what a $10 million QB looks like? Here's your options (not on rookie deal): Ryan Fitzpatrick = $12 million RG3 = $ 7.5 million Chase Daniel = $7 million Josh McCown = $ 4.6 million Chad Henne = $ 4 million. Do you know what a crap shoot drafting a QB is without having a Top 3 overall pick?Johnny Manziel, EJ Manual, Geno Smith, Paxton Lynch, Christian Hackenberg, etc. In the last 4 drafts, 42 QBs have been drafted after the Top 3 picks - exactly 3 have made any impact (Teddy Bridgewater, Derek Carr, Dak Prescott). 3 outta 42! That's a 7% success rate. 7%! Those are not good odds to waste a 1st, 2nd or 3 round pick on. All those guys you just listed - All playing better than Flacco. So yeah we could get someone a lot cheaper to Suck as Bad as Flacco has. At any rate we are more or less stuck with Flacco until 2018 and then we can dump him. Blame that on poor contracts, just like Eugene Monroe. Fact of the matter is Flacco has sucked since signing the big contract not once but twice. The Ravens screwed up big time on this one and it will hurt for a long long time. Who knows though we can always hope for the best. No QB is any good without a good front line. Stanley was a great draft pickup. He was an ironman in college. He got hurt. it happens. Our 4th round pick is a very good guard but only an ave. tackle. When most of ur OL is hurt its hard to protect the QB.

yeah cuz Anquan Boldin has helped so many teams since he was with us. Hes gone, hes not that great, let's try to get past him.

I looked at our Draft choices from 1996 till 2016 and our drafts of late haven't been THAT bad. We picked a lot of years lately at the end of the first round or didn't even have a first round pick. It seems to me weve kept a lot more players from our drafts now (or they were given HUGE salaries from other teams) than in the first half of our existence.

The Steelers are one game ahead of us. Yeah, theyre tearing up the league.

our drafts have been as good as anybody's so that's not even an issue.

You hear so much about what the Ravens players do for the community, maybe they ought to concentrate more on football. This like when a team wins the Super Bowl and the top players start getting all those endorsements. The team goes nowhere the next year.

Guts, Attitude, Heart. Example Anquan Boldin. 32 receptions and 4 TD's btw. please! get over Boldin already.

How did Harbaugh "rid" the team of its leaders? Did he make Lewis and Reed retire? Did he Hurts Suggs arm or SSS's ankle? Just about every one we draft was a captain of their team or a leader on their team in college. We have MANY leaders on our team.

its not our receivers. Its the routes they run, and how they are taught to run them. We have two of the fastest players in the NFL and they cant get separation? ANYONE can get separation if they have a decent routes and run them right. Plus Joe couldn't hit his behind with both hands right now.

I like your style. Im with ya till the end. let the cry babies go to Cleveland

Josh Johnson? What a Bozo statement. not even Bozo would make THAT statement.

Yeah, you might as well give up watching them play dude...at least then we wouldn't have to hear all those doom and gloom projection's you've been spouting every day. These Raven's are so horrible that they should just move the team to Vegas, cause they will never be a good team again, never mind they've won two super bowls, that's all in the past and were probably some kind of mysterious flukes anyways... And yeah, might as well try to lose games. That will teach Ozzie and Harbs...unlike those Squeelers, who like you say, never ever complain about anything and are the shining beacons of how a real football team plays! Wow, some people might confuse you with being a fan of theirs, lucky we know better,eh? Don't let fastynart bait you, I'm fairly certain he's a Pitt fan that joined just to troll. With a name like fastynart, I'm thinking Browns fan.

it would be really nice if "Quick Hits" was big enough to read without a magnifying glass.

I heard Stanley has a toe issue (don't quote me on that) and Dumervil has a tendon issue near his ankle. Again Its just a rumor I heard.

we are one game out of 1st place with 10 more games to go. Glad the players don't give up as fast as you do

if we can limit the drive killing penalties on offense and the drive sustaining penalties on defense we should be OK. A few take-a-ways for us would sweeten the game.
