How about we see Ozzie draft board? Has that been shown?

This is about the only thing that I have seen that kind of explains some things and who some of their picks were. Not sure if you saw it or not. I have not seen anything on the "actual" draft board though.   http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/article-1/Whats-Up-With-Not-Drafting-Any-Offensive-Players-Ozzie-Newsome-Answers/3b3e6869-5e50-4570-b768-37e5e0334be7

I agree with Sami....besides, every year a lot of people say let the young guy's play...they need reps to get better. Well here's their chance....Perriman needs to step up, I'm not willing to call him bust (not yet anyway). Chris Moore showed promise. Campanaro can be weapon, if he can stay on the field. We have Wallace, whom I am sure will gladly step up to show he's still "got it"!!  I was pe'od about the top WR prospect's that the Ravens had their eye's being picked in the top 15......so I thought, ok, they are going to take an OL or Center for their top pick. But to my surprise...they did not. They also picked up 4 WR after the draft. Haven't looked into them but....who knows, there could be a diamond in the rough!! So, as said before, there is still time to sign a free agent later. Just my .2cents.    http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/article-1/Reports-Ravens-Sign-Undrafted-Free-Agents-After-2017-Draft/55bda71b-7a4d-48b8-a82c-cdca8493c27e

"If"-If- Browns would part with 12 & 64 for Joe Flacco we should pull the trigger. Sign Kapernick and fix offense&defense through 9 draft picks, 6 WR,LB,WR,CB all before 77th pick. Even Cutler could be stop gap for a year or two.

Gulp.........There are just some player's that you get accustomed to. Webby, was one of them. Sad to see him go, but I know this is a business, and that is just the way it goes. Good Luck Lardarius Webb, wherever your venture may take you!!!

We lose one guy, get another to do the same thing? Can he really do it? He will ONLY need a O line and at least two good RB. We don't have either.
Good Luck

O-line just needs some tweaking......and I think West and Dixon have all the potential of being really good RB's. Dixon set a record in college! 

Really good article by Ravens247....different perspective.  http://russellstreetreport.com/2017/01/04/lombardis-way/bisciotti-does-it-harbaughs-way/

Yes, though I must say, watching Jerraud Powers tackle Big Ben is probably more entertaining :-)

LOL....I remember! That was more of a "climb and hold on as you go down" tackle! As long as Ben goes down, that's all that matter's!! 

Sizzle is in QB hunting mode!!!! Go get him Suggs.....bring down the tower known as "Big Ben"!! Can't Wait!!!

The Ravens will find a way to squander it away and lose at least 2 of the last 3 games and blow the playoff chances again. Harbaugh is going to be canned after the Bengals game. Mark it down in sharpie. If Ozzie was smart, he would find a way to get rid of Flacco in the offseason and get a competent QB in here to play some actual football. 85% of his passes and under 5 yards. That is a clueless quarterback who cannot read of bait a defense into any successful play.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• And, when you criticize Flacco or other quarterbacks around the league, understand that it is the hardest position to play in all of sports. Nothing compares. Not a hockey goalie, not a baseball catcher or pitcher, not a point guard – NOTHING! Look at the quarterbacks – some of whom are clearly producing Hall of Fame careers – around the NFL just last weekend.

1. Ben Roethlisberger: The Pittsburgh Steelers won 27-20 over the Buffalo Bills, but Big Ben threw no touchdown passes and three interceptions
2. Philip Rivers: His San Diego Chargers dropped a 28-26 decision at Carolina when he threw two interceptions and lost two fumbles
3. Russell Wilson: The Seattle Seahawks got walloped at Green Bay, 38-10, as Wilson threw for 240 yards on 39 attempts – with FIVE interceptions. Yikes!
4. Drew Brees: New Orleans lost 16-11 to the Tampa Bay Bucs as Brees was held without a touchdown pass for the second straight game, and he was picked off three times

My heart went out to Joe last game when....how many balls were dropped that were right into their hands??!! I saw at least 4!!!! C'mon man........You can't put it ALL on his back. The offense has to work like a well oiled machine, their just low on oil. How many games this year has the O-line been whole,.... healthy? 3,4 games? I understand that some people need to blame "someone" but it all can't be on him. That's all you see around here anymore. Oh, and most of those balls that were dropped were for pretty good yardage.......and the penalties!!!! How many plays were brought back??!! I am not saying anyone is perfect....just saying it is a team effort...all the way around!!!!    

Uncle Fester needs to go....sorry, he is not cutting it. Wallace needs to practice on the Jugs machine, he dropped 2-3 balls that were right to him. I mean right in his hands. The intercepted ball went right through his hands into the other teams players hands!!!!

Agree that we need to get through this game before speculating about the rest. I'm worried most about the referees. Anyone know about the crew working tonight's game?

And I am happy for Pitta.

Gameday page says Ed Hochuli.........Hopefully they will be fair to both teams and not play favorites. Let's Go Ravens!!!!

Here I make it simple. How many PRO bowls has Joe been selected too compared to other QB's?

Yes, but how many of those "voted" into the Pro Bowl have won a Super Bowl and MVP of that said Super Bowl. The Pro Bowl has turned into nothing but a "popularity" contest, you can vote over and over again for who you want.  Joe ain't trying to win any popularity contest. What's up, are you mad that he did well, and you can't "pick on him this week?

Did Ray's comments make any sense to you?

To be honest? No........Truthfully a lot of what he says I don't truly get, some times he goes on and on. Ray Lewis was a awesome player, and I loved his enthusiasm on the field. Public speaker?.....not so much. He meant what he said about Joe, and only apologized because some people called him out on it.

"Question" Joe's passion? There is no question - He DOES NOT HAVE ANY.

Passion is a feeling......you have no idea how Joe feels. You do not have to show it to feel it.

if you had your choice,would you like to see another LEGIT QB. come in to compete with FLACCO next season? BRADFORD,ROMO,TEDDY BRIDGEWATER??

No.....I would like to see a healthy O-line that has been specifically implemented to Joe's strengths, healthy receivers, healthy running back's, the same offensive coordinator...and a team that got to practice ALL together in the off-season. That is what I would like to see.    

I really do not think it is fair that Ray Lewis questions Joe's passion for the game. I don't think it's fair for anyone to question it. Who are we to say how anyone should show their passion. People are different and show their emotions differently........Just because he doesn't show his the way that Ray did, does not mean he doesn't have it. Joe is just not that guy....so what, get over it. Quite frankly, even though I admire Ray for his passion, sometimes, in my opinion....I think he went overboard.  In the same way that I admire Ray for his emotion, and passion for the game....I admire Joe for his so called "lack of" of it.     

You ARE a rock star Steve!!!

Who is "Doom"? Does/Did he play for the Ravens or is he a cheerleader? I know Elvis checked out years ago.

 Funny ha ha......no he is the dude that in "2014" had 17 sacks. Last year, yes, he fell "off" because Suggs was out for the year. Wow.....the guy misses some time and people are ready to write him off. Harsh crowd around here.  

Did they ever say what type of foot injury Doom had?? Can't remember if they did or not......hope it's not the toes!!

Ya man. I get Harbs saying that, as he's just saying the same old coach speak lines. But it'd be nice if Flacco actually said: "You know. I am disappointed, especially in myself. This is my offense, and I need flat out stop sucking, and play like a starting QB for the Baltimore Ravens!"

Flacco needs to learn how to slide because it looked like he hurt his self, the Ravens played better than they have been playing, and there is still a lot of room for improvement, but they won, and that's what count right, win baby just win!!! GO RAVENS!!!

JFYI.....Joe actually has one of the best slides in football. It stems from playing baseball. The brace is what made that slide awkward.

Well, it could be either one of those......nail biting, teeth clenching, palm sweating, stomach turning, back tightening, tums eating, scratching my head, yelling at the TV, cursing under my breath and on the edge of my seat games. Or.......it could be one of those games that make me jump outta my seat!!!(for good things!!!) Let's hope it's the latter!!!
