    Flacco more often than not puts the team in a position to win, though he's not perfect, the combo of a mediocre crew of weapons and a sorry defense is making him look bad, yet he always takes some part of the blame.

     I agree that Joe is making the plays that should put us in the win column, but I wish people would stop saying he can "elevate a player"! He doesn't and then people say, "Oh, oh, those guys can't catch! Can't get separation!"

    All during pre-season we hear of "circus catches" and "highlight reel receptions",.... either somebody's drink Harh Hyperbole Juice or telling a lie!

    Still, these losses aren't Joe's doing, especially when the 4th Quarter begins! The INTs don't help but Joe's doing what he needs even with miss seeing open receivers!

    Who said anything about "feel good"? Trust me, there is no 'feel good' for me watching these games. And no excuses either...I just see some decent plays being done by O and D at times, and I'm not going to go all postal on the team because they aren't winning games. And yes I find that last line a bit funny.

    They've been good but never "ALL GOOD" and bad but never "ALL BAD",... we all get that!

    But as long as this collection of Ravens continues to come out on the losing side of games,... until they learn how to protect leads and close out games for the win, who cares if they lose by one or forty points?

    It's a lame excuse!

    I strongly disagree. I think there is too much extreme blame being placed on the team. They are hardly playing their best, but to say 'they suck' when all 6 games have been within a single score and down to the wire is not a sucking team. It's a team playing good but not good enough. But at least they are fighting. Fans, many are simply giving up in the face of adversity, which is not what this team is about. So that's why I say the fans (some) suck for being so consistently negative...like that will get the job done!

     

    I get tired of hearing that lame excuse! There is NO playoff slot for sub-par teams who lose by 3, 4,or 5 points!

    I just want to know how do professional corners and safeties miss cover assignments as drastically and as regularly as they do? :wacko: 

    The Run Game is pretty solid.

    The Pass protection is pretty good but Joe locks one guy and ignores others.

    The Front Four are getting penetration and learning to stop the run w/o Haloti.

     

    All could improve, of course, but they are playing and scoring enough points to win! That Secondary is a major issue! :229031_rant:

     

     

     

    P.S. -- Indy 'Mayflowers' FO & Chuckie P are souring!   :th_327321_Spy_23x22:

    You can keep arguing a name ("SENIOR") if you want.  I'll continue to argue his productivity as still one of the best in the league (check the numbers)!

    As for Boldin, that ship sailed long ago and continuing to cry about it won't change it...so, time to GET OVER IT, AND MOVE ON!!!

     

    Sez another Satisfied with mediocrity fan! lol

    The blitz killed us last week just don't blitz keep a spy on mixleplick whatever his name is and it's a "W"! This is the turning point and the Ravens can make that run for a Championship! 2-4 3-4 4-4 5-4 6-4 7-4 8-4 9-4 10-4 11-4 12-4! The Ravens are the "ONLY" team that can dethrone the pats and the team the pats don't wanna see! Joe can beat brady just can't stop playing because brady will shoot it out also! Keep Joe in the shotgun and keep BLASTIN KEEP BLASTIN KEEP BLASTIN! Go Ravens!

     

     I believe the Blitz saves us! With our horrible Secondary, were it not for the Blitz, we'd be eaten alive!

    It is also evident that our defensive scheme doesn't adjust well! We were gashed by average TEs in the Cleveland game which kept Browns' drives alive! Coverage being the weakness in C.J.s game is now how even bad teams will attack our defense!

    We're looking at Q and Torrey to have great games against our "Cushion Defense" yet we may prevail because Joe can out-score Kap!

    The teams used to fear our defense as "Bullies", not because the Dee was comprised of dirty players but because they were "punishing" players! They we smart, aggressive, punishing players who thrived of wrecking havoc on 3rd and 6 !!! Not these soft guys who give up 12 yard cushions on 3rd and 6!

    Since the purge following the Superbowl win, and the retirement of #52 we've heard that it's finally Harbaugh's locker room!   :oldwiseman: 

    Harbs' locker room begat Harbs' players and that's all there is to that!  <_<

    So...what is Steve Smith Sr.?  This attitude that we can just go to the local grocery store, go down the WR aisle, and put a "good WR" in the cart for checkout is ludicrous!  Your AMEX Platinum Business Card does not work here! 

    (1) Who's available? 

    (2) How much will it cost? 

    (3) Can we afford them (with a projected cap of under $2 mil., for which draft pick(s)/player(s), and contract (multi-years or rental))? 

    (4) And, of course, who does this added player replace on the roster?

    All factor in to adding any player at this point.  Give Givens a chance to step on the field in OUR system before judging whether he's a "good" WR!

    Let Ozzie do his job!

     

     

    SSmith, Sr. is just what his name implies - a SENIOR citizen in NFL terms! We'd have done better keeping Bouldin - period!

    Givens, on the other hand, may pan out to be something special! It just remains to be seen if Joe will throw to him. Sunday Crockett Gilmore and Aiken will get 12 catches each because,.... well,.... that's Flacco!   :th_327321_Spy_23x22:

    Lenny Moore lived on Yosemite Avenue, around the corner from me in NW Baltimore for well over 2 decades beginning in 1964 when we moved there from West Baltimore!

    I was privileged to know him and Jim Parker and their families, personally, through my dad, a Hall of Fame athlete from Morgan State in the 30s and a recreation director for Baltimore City!

    Northwest Baltimore was a Black sports figures Haven for the teen-aged athlete that I was! :D 

    Orioles Frank Robinson and Curt Moulton lived on Cedardale, within 6 blocks, other Colts Jim Parker and Tony Lorick within 10 blocks on Callaway and Sequoia Avenues and I played slo-pitch softball for Lydell Mitchell's Bar, the "Point After" on Elgin Avenue!

    It's GREAT to hear that Baltimore Colts are not totally forgotten by the NFL  :190048:

    We've been saying that since Cam Cameron's futile 8-to-12 carries for Rice losses before the "non-mutiny"!

     

    I'm still surprised that we didn't get a marquee RB in the draft! We're better at that than we are picking WRs!

     

    Justin Forcett's a good RB but he can't run over or evade tacklers regularly! Perhaps Taliaferro or Allen [more likely] will emerge as the year goes,... :oldwiseman:

    I am 110% in favor of Breast Cancer Awareness given that while nobody in my family has been afflicted with Breast Cancer, other forms has decimated my parents and two older brothers!

    I just wish the NFL would, say, donate 2% of the gates from an October "Breast Cancer Awareness" month game to the research facilities and make the wearing pink gesture a voluntarily one [with no intimidation from HCs or FOs]!

     

    I'd rather enjoy hearing that the sold out gate from the Ravens' Oct 11th game resulted in a multi-million dollar donation to breast cancer research, especially knowing that our donation is one of 15 other multi-million dollar donations!!

    I am thinking we will need good blockers for the Browns game with Crockett being a bulldozer and equally good pass catcher and already being low on targets for Joe I would say yes we should have him in there if he can go

     

    I can go along with that provided we're not "knee-jerking" them back too early! If you ask them, they will assuredly say "I'm ready", but if they are not quite healed, another week won't hurt them!

    I say that because IMHO and whether we want to admit it, we're rebuilding this year!

    Campanaro is so underrated on this team. He has sure hands and is clutch in certain situations. Trestman please use him.

     

    EVERONE has sure hands and makes "Highlight Reel" catches,... then the season starts!  

    Kamar Aiken, Michael Campanero, Darrel Waller = after-thoughts....... and, Breshad Perriman will probably get as many throws at him as Maxx Williams has had in three games!

    Agree that Marlon isn't the hard core WR we'd hoped hed be but what's going on with Aiken and Campanero?

    If Joe's going to favor SS,Sr and Gilmore, then the rest of the WRs will take plays off, regardless!

    Now,... so far, the run game looks eerily like Chicago's w/o a Matt Forte! What happened to "Oh, we're not changing the offense; we may 'tinker' but not change"?
