  1. Steve Smith, Sr,... I'm a FOOTBALL FAN,... not a Fantasy Football fan so let the kiddies chirp over stats, stats, stats! That doesn't excite me! WINS excite me! I'm P.O.ed too!
  2. Sad to say, but we look like the Bears,... just w/o Forte! Cobra, I was surprised when we didn't take a big 1st Tier RB in the draft but even Gurly's looking pitiful so maybe Allen will emerge into something I like Taliaferro but he's no Lynch! I didn't say anything but even I knew that Forsett is not a "Marquee Runningback", and now, w/o the stretch/Zone blocking schemes, we're in it deep! Too early to predict,.... but, WHOA!
  3. That's my guy! Thanks, Cobra!
  4. He really hasn't had the time for more than a quick read!
  5. That's probably one of the "Joe threw for 300" crew who negged this before I finished editing it! LOL
  6. I haven't read anyone else's comments because I've been seething ever since yesterday! In 2014, we had Gary Kubiak's scheme firing on all cylinders to very great effect. The Run Game heralded the best Raven Offensive team ever! Okay, Kubiak bolted for Denver and that was crushing but the moment the FO announced that Marc Trestman was the new O.C., Harbaugh and Trestman both said "We're not changing the offense! They said "We may tinker here and there but we're not changing the offense!" Well, so far, in 3 games, the Offense looks eerily like the Bears' inept Trestman offense! I'm not seeing any stretch plays, or Zone blocking. If anything, the guys look confused! It's not all because Monroe's out! Zuttah looks confused and even the pass protection has broken down as if thee guys aren't talking! I'm not giving up on us,... but the writing's on the wall when we're getting beat up by the likes of the RAIDERS! Of course, there's that crew who'll counter my argument with "Hey, Joe threw for over 300 yards, twice!" Yay,... //cough// Meh!
  7. Class acts, all!
  8. Has Trestman tinkered with the run blocking scheme? Sure seems like a downgrade from last year's performance! Happy to see that we did get untracked as time went on! Plus, I'm a heck of a lot more comfortable in our young TEs after yesterday's game! The O-Line couldn't handle Denver's speed but they're not the everyday 'Front Sevens' we'll face! I'm encouraged we'll get it together! Hat's off to former Raven Tyrod Taylor for his first win as starting NFL QB! Some said he'd never start! Wish him much success, going forward!
  9. I firmly believe that the whole Defense will redouble their efforts in the wake of this news! I don't think or advise T-Sizzle to make one of those miraculous recoveries the first time around! We shall see what the future brings for Courtney Upshaw and the young Ravens' linebackers,... ... just as we're seeing the ramifications for NOT digging down in our purse to find a way to keep the Jared Johnsons, Paul Krugers and Purnell McPhees that we let walk year after year! P.S. Spare me the "money" lecture!
  10. Absent Peyton Manning, they are just two teams! If Joe Flacco is who you all say he is, then he will make Manning a "non-factor"! We shall see "E-Lite" or "Average" Joe tonite!
  11. Waller it is,... Case closed!
  12. Render unto Caesar that which is his and render unto Ozzie anything under the sun,... or something like that!
  13. I said it from the start! Were it not for dumb luck and a great defense, Tyrod may have started here! As it turns out, we prepared him for this opportunity and I am thrilled with the News!
  14. You must be speaking the truth, four have negged you! It irritated me that we traded our 1st Rd pick for Courtney, developed him,then let him walk!
  15. We have a bunch of young Receivers AND Steve Smith, the Sr. We have coaches and we have a philosophy of "run First"! I I Googled this because I wasn't sure what a group of Ravens was called! A group of ravens is called but a "unkindness" or a "clamor" were the two terms I saw. I'm sure we can find a "Finesse Receiver" capable of getting open among this Clamor of Ravens' Receivers!
  16. Let em rest and hear! We'll need the O-Line healthy for that four game Opening Season stretch!
  17. Very enlightening and, again, very low-key with the predictions! I need and have come to appreciate Kevin Bryne's "Take" on the Ravens because I have quickly learned not to take Harbs' hyperbole too far!
  18. I'd love to see this translate into a superb "Find" for us, but our prowess picking WR's leaves much to be desired! On the other hand, we're about due and Perriman's seemingly not burning up the turf at the Ravens' Complex!
  19. I can believe Nick Boyle is making an impression,... the TE depth is not like the Receivers and there is no definitive incumbent to unseat; no offense to Crockett Gilmore who "made his bones" last year! I seriously hope, in Darren Waller's case, you're right, Ryan Mink. It was the media who gave us all these glowing reports of the prowess of Tandon Doss, Deonte Thompson, Yamon Figurs , Laquan Williams and David Reed and where are they now? Sometimes we need you all in the media to be a bit more objective!
  20. One of my Marine buddies that I played football with lives in Upstate N.Y. The moment the Bills signed T.T. he sent me a gmail stating how they were thrilled and viewed Tyrod as a "steal" for the price! Evidently, the folks in that region also believe he can start for them and do some great things there! I am intently watching this and hoping for Tyrod's success! He's a class act who found himself in a "no win" situation here as far as playing time and respect was counted. He is, however, the bearer of a Super Bowl Ring!
  21. Lardarius Webb and Jah Reid,... out to nagging injuries? Who'da thunk, huh?
  22. No doubt he's a #2! I was impressed with him last year and he just got leaner, quicker, hungrier,... and has a year of Know-how !
  23. I was being sarcastic about "the name escapes me",... I was definitely IMPRESSED at how Tyrod Taylor handled the Bills' offense! Let em fly!
  24. No doubt we'll not see any appreciable decrease in play when Davis is giving Jernigan, Canty or Williams a sideline "blow"! Next year, Canty may retire [become expendable] if Carl Davis plays as he did Thursday!
