@MODERATOR 3: Its NOT his win, loss record- it is THE RAVENS win, loss record. If the Ravens did not have the 'defense' that they have had- Joe would have 'won' peanuts. We'll see where Joe evolves and makes adjustments this year. Being in the league for 8 years, you would think.....

Please correct me if needed- isn't Joe due 26 million next year against the cap ?

My Purple Oracle has predicted that our defense will prevail over their offense, thus giving our potential,vanilla offense many more chances to convert to the 'rocky-road'- a road TO VICTORY, nonetheless ! Go MAALOX. GO RAVENS !

it should be, WHOS playing and who is actually going to do something (unconservatively when we NEED it, offensively speaking- AGAIN)

Maybe this week they will add a little more 'vanilla' to an already 'vanilla' appearing offense.....so on that note, I'd almost bet that we'll see vanilla....at times I think that's all that Joe sees or wants to see is freekin vanilla. You all can get your hopes up on Perriman- like he's our saviour. (looking like a major epic fail with that choice- especially with regards to all the research=- or not,that's involved). And YES- I'm still sour ! On that gripe- PRAY LIKE A RAVEN

After a long day of jabbin and nabbin, heres hoping you like crabbin ! Good luck, Babin. Welcome to B'more. Get loose !

still wondering why Flacco did not roll out to the right, occasionally- to buy some time (away from Ware); CAUTION: do NOT buy into the fact that 'we are only playing the Raiders and it will be easy'. We have been down THAT road way too many times. FACT: the last 2 played actual games, we were in the drivers seat to win the games- we lost both.... Look over the "lemon-law" re Perriman, or 'return to sender'...

"forged" by a slow increasing heat- or burnt; let's not get burnt

yes- the loft wasn't all that great...needed to be either higher and, or further back; the defenders entire arm was sandwiched in between Gilmores hands- giving the defender the advantage. Shouldn't have been an issue if Smith caught the TD. I'm tired of lamenting..."off to 'Cincinnatti'" !

"no free coffee from DD", however, the purple-Maalox is doing its job !

Flacco had no time to throw a deep ball, so enough of the Perriman hoopla; not quite sure why Joe didn't roll out to the right at times (the Maalox usual; he did a lot of rolling out in preseason)regardless: the bottom line is that we were in the perfect position to win the game. Were.

3 NOTATIONS: 1. we WERE in the perfect scenario to win the game, however... 2. OUCH ! 3. time to fill in for Sizzle and grow quick !

"healthy" is always great....HOWEVER, has there been enough WD-40 infused into the units in question ? As far as having "enough to attack Manning"....well, I can attack a pizza pretty darn well, HOWEVER, until I have actually taken that first bite- it really has not been attacked. Here's hoping Manning is 'bit'- a few times

Welcome back, Timmy ! FOCUS. Please repeat after me...."I will put Peyton MANNING on his backside" !

Can we get a few, good 'HARD KNOCKS' on Manning- PLEASE!

If I were to fret or be directing my focus, I'd be finding away to put Manning on his back / side. Heat first, to stop him from picking our secondary apart !

To those suggesting Waller: I see him as to slow (not quick enough)and quite a large target for this skillset. Anyone ?......feel free to correct me here if I am incorrect.

ONE game at a time, please. Re THURSDAY"S GAME: I can't help it. I have to root on both defenses to beat the snot out of each other- thus maybe a tie ?!

Here's hoping! You all make sure he has the ibuprophen and ace-bandages handy....I'll have my purple Maalox roaring with a prayer !

Congrats, Terrence. Go get 'em kid !

Of course, one of the biggest misnomers in football is this is the Ravens%u2019 %u201Cfinal%u201D 53-man roster. Hardly. Someone should take a picture of it, quick, because this version of the roster is going to last about as long as the grill%u2019s flames at your Labor Day cookout. Here's to HAPPY GRILLING !

Ah...what looms in the caldron (caw-dron!)...

I imagine we are waiting to pounce on a waived potential from another team before we get it down to size....Here's hoping for a GREAT 53. Tickety-tock....coo-coo....or caw-caw !

PLAY.....PRAY LIKE A RAVEN.....

Good luck to all......Here's hoping Dan-the man Brown can make the PS.
