I look at teams like and I hate to say it but New England, Seattle, even the dreaded Squeelers who always seem to maintain top notch rosters. Yet every year I hear how great Ozzie is. And when I bring that up I'm looked at as a bad guy. Hey Ozzie? Hire me as your assistant. You not doing so good buddy! Even our coaching staff is suspect. I hate to say it but our front office is not doing so good. Don't get me wrong, I still bleed Purple, it's just painful.

Moving the game from Hawaii is a terrible move by the NFL. Hawaii is an awarding gift to the Players that were selected to go. And an chance for a nice vacation for those who are able to go. Who the hell wants to go to Florida? Not many. Affordable to most? Yes, desire -able over Hawaii? NO! It's supposed to be awarding to the Players and their families. Florida? Really? There are 31 other Football states, I think there is more to do in New Orleans than Orlando for one. How about some where in Sunny California? The NFL is a grossly RICH! Organization. They can come up with something better than Orlando, and how about making some rule changes that force the Players to play a REAL FOOTBALL GAME? Be it monetary incentive or whatever. Give the Fans something REAL to watch?

I was shocked to see Zutah selected. But I must admit the comments made by "billiejean" hit it right on the head. It's good to hear from people with good Football Sense. Whether by Draft or Free agency, unless they are better, then leave it alone.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still a fan, just disgusted

In 2000 when Ozzie was given all the credit for the record setting defense, was it him or was it Marvin Lewis who seems to always have a better than good defense in Cincinnati?. Our Raven defense was great until we ran out of all of Marvin's picks. Obviously picking players in the draft is not Ozzie's or Harb's strong suit. Harb's lets his personal feelings get in the way of keeping the right players, I,e G Geather, Big McKenny, Anquan, Pollard, Ngata, Osemele to name a few and the list goes on. Harb's only keeps the guys he likes personally who don't speak out. So here we are! Let's just keep the OC who after we run the rock down a teams throat to the 10 yd line and then call a pass play on first n goal, and Mr. I have a great arm but slow brain throws an interception. Flaco plays well as long as the O Line is playing great and he is not being rushed. So goes the O Line, so goes Flaco.

I've been rooting for this guy since training camp. It was plain to see, he can play football. Remember he blocked a punt and ran it in for a TD, then caught a game winning TD. And our front office put him on the practice squad, cut him, brought him back, cut him again? All the while saying we are searching for a receiver and this guy is sitting in our own backyard. Come On Man!!!

Come to think of it, the Detroit Lions got Ripped Off from going to the playoffs Two Years in a row directly by Poor Officiating. Now that's Outrageous!

The system really needs to be fixed. The technology is available. I don't mind loosing a game fair and square. But on on some bogus call when a Ref threw a flag on what he thought he saw. I mean we see 40 yard penalties on judgement calls, and they are not reviewable. That is outrageous! No one is worried about time. If they are they are not real fans of the sport anyway. Make the Refs full time, pay them well and make them accountable. Too many game are decided by the Refs and not the players.

It's making me ill!

In Ozzie we Trust? We select Jason Babin over Dwight Freeny, now we take Morgan over Hakeem Nicks? And no CB. Or is this the case of Harbaugh avoiding Veterans because they might speak up for themselves? That's what happened to many of our good players, Boldin, Pollard for example. It would have also been Ray Lewis and Ed Rred but Harbaugh knew the Fans would have had his head on a Platter. This really are not looking too good. Can we just do like the Colts did to get Andrew Luck?

So we signed a guy who only caught 14 passes in 2 1/2 seasons from pass happy Drew Breeze over a savoy veteran in Hakeem Nicks? Are you serious? I think I can see Harbaugh out the door at the end of this season. Surely this cannot be the doings of Ozzie Newsome. No DB in the world? No we are supposed to be excited about two receivers with no credentials? I'd rather we had signed the kid we had during preseason, the guy who blocked a punt and ran it in for a TD? And caught another touchdown? I believe his name was Daniel Brown. Can any of these receivers play Corner Back?

Let's face it Ozzie needs me as his assistant, I wouldn't have paid Monroe no big bucks, I wouldn't make my top draft pick a guy knowing he had a knee problem and just hope he would get through it. I would have found a way to work something out with Ngata and Anquan Boldin, no negotiating was attempted with either of those guys, and to keep Jacoby Jones over Anquan? Are you serious? I wouldn't have let Harbs just totally Diss Bernard Pollard. There were a lot of bad moves done by our team and now it's showing up. Every Year Ozzie is praised for not budging when the high profile free agents are moving in the market, Ozzie waits until all is calmed down and picks amongst the leftovers. Well now you can see the results when you feast on leftovers. Sometimes you get the gold, sometimes you get the coals.

HOLD UP! There is a little thing called plain old basics. If I'm having a problem running the ball, then I add another O-Linemen on the field and force it down their throats. It's called we're running it here! Stop me if you can! People we have Coaching Problems! I'm talking about the position coaches as well as th OC and DC. Do you think for one second the coaches we had back in the early 2000's would allow our defenders to do the stupid stuff that's been going on? Can you see Mike Singletary Chewing the heck out of these guys? When we couldn't run the ball in the first quarter, what changes were made Tressman?? Oh yeah! Just stand around and say " we need to do better" No pass rush and poor Tackling, what changes did you make to at least try to fix some of the issues Dean Pees?? If we Tank this season, I see some big changes being made starting at the top with Harbs. You know our Owner does not like loosing and he is not afraid to make changes, ask Brian Bilick.

It's making me feel ill Dawg!

I tried not to doubt Dean Pees but it seems that he is no more than a Gregg Mattison clone. Anyone that thinks rushing three is supposed to accomplish anything other than wearing down a few of your oun D Linemen is basically stupid. I hate to see someone Rush Three, and rushing two means you are a blatant dope. While in the NFL there are many guys of smaller size with amazing strength, however the laws of physics don't change. Rushing two three hundred pounders against five three hundred pounders? Do the math. Pees must not do math. He sure can't game plan. I'm done and disgusted!

We will be just fine. When Perriman returns it will be icing on the cake. Meantime we have guys that can play. They just need that chance to prove it, and time is now.

Hope Perriman gets to 100%. I don't think this will be a Kindle type situation, but it's obviously more serious than first suspected.

Raven Maniac#7- I've been saying it since we signed Monroe. All I saw was a serviceable left Tackle not a good one. The last good left tackle we had was the big guy that Harbaugh didn't care for but we won the Super Bowl with. I would have thought after getting our receiver in the first round of the draft and then maybe after the coveted tight End, surely we would have looked hard for a Left Tackle. Well no need to say more. Here we are, and no there is no warm and fuzzy to be felt about our O Line at this point in time.

Not Gilmore's fault the Ref's stunk it up, it's called Face guarding aka Pass Interference! It was a horrible no call. Ref's should get fined for stupid crap like that, then maybe we could enjoy a "fair" Game. If you win or loose, do it with honesty and integrity, something the NFL Officials are low on.

I think if Freeny still had his old skills and ability, he would have been snatched up a long time ago. I think I would trust an old retired Offensive Tackle before I would trust an old Retired Pass Rusher. With that said, let's just leave the Retired to enjoy their retirement.

I will admit I have criticized Ozzie a bit, and will never forgive letting go of Anquan Boldin. But I do believe he will come through for us as he always has in the past. So I hate seeing that happen to T Sizzle but I'm not worried. We will be just fine, we always have a Ram in the Bush, just wait , you will see. I'm expecting great things for our Team this season. GO RAVENS!!!!!!!!

So no one but me thinks Denver's #30 should have been flagged for pass interference on that last play. Can someone help me understand? Am I seeing things wrong? I know I'm getting older but really?

If all the Raven coaches felt that Kubiak knew to defend his own scheme then why didn't we change it up? Dose Tresman have any ideas of his oun? While I love our head coach, he doesn't seem to have a knack for knowing when to make changes in a game. Case in point, last season against JJ Watt, they just let Watt have a field day, never put an extra lineman on the field to help block him, why? Just stupid stuff. Sunday's game, run the unbalanced line with an extra lineman, see if they can stop the run then. There are things that can be done during a game to offset what an opposing team is doing, it's just knowing what to do, when to do it, and Do It!!!!!

Hey (Reed20fence) Well Said! I love that, Could'nt have said it better myself. Awesome!!!

Big Question Here!!! Why is it ok to commit "Face Guarding aka Pass Interference" in the end zone and no flags are thrown? This was the clearest case of Pass Interference I have ever seen on that last play against the Denver Defence. It reminds me of the Game against the Patriots when Pitta got mugged in the end zone after the play our receiver got the ball knocked out of his hands, no flags there either. So I ask the question, is it ok to commit penalties as long as it's in the last few seconds of a Game????
